QUOTE (sunofgold @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 06:05 PM) People keep saying this year after year. That we are one of the worst. However, we seem to bring up at least one or two guys from our minor league system and they become MLB roster players...either with us or with another team (if we trade them). How do you measure how good or bad your farm system is? Can you measure it at each level? This might just be an subjective opinion. All you hear about is how good the Royals' farm system is. Last I checked they lost 91 games and haven't been over .500 in 8 seasons.

This is the least excited I have been about Illini basketball since I can remember. The last few years have just been so disappointing, I don't want to get my hopes up before they fail once again. (Although who am I kidding, I'm sure I will be all in once the first ball tips off)

Game 7 of the 2001 WS on ESPN Classic right now, DBacks up, bottom of the 9th

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 12:14 PM) ESPNChiBears Dickerson and Wright by espnchijon Cutler on Martz $ #@& him comment: 'It is what it is. We're moving on. I'm a competitor.' JD I'm sure in the heat of a game, players/coaches say worse s*** to each other all the time.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 12:05 PM) http://www.southsideasylum.com/2011/10/mar...on-hunting.html Knowing how Mark & Jake are, I actually thought that article was real when I first read it.

It's good thing they are trying to keep hockey in Phoenix. That arena was packed last night.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 10:53 AM) Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Kim Ng, currently with the Commissioner's Office, will be interviewed for GM job with the Angels. Good for her, sounds like she is overdue for a chance at a GM spot. Although Anaheim probably isn't the best location, since it seems like Scocsia(sp) & Moreno run the team anyway.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) Blum's been clean at least, as has Widger and Willie! Timo and Pablo didn't have any big hits in the postseason If Pablo is clean though, he may not be fast enough to steal 2nd in ALCS Game 2. WS Title....disgraced!!!!

I used to enjoy playing poker, but then it became the cool & popular thing to do, now so many of the players just annoy me so I stay away from it.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 01:00 PM) According to NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora, coach Leslie Frazier has notified Christian Ponder that he'll be starting over Donovan McNabb this week. I think it's time for McNabb to call it a career. Yup, sounds like it's time for McNabb it hang em up. I think he will always be a bit underrated, since he never won it all and played under the microscope in Philly. 5 NFC championship games is still impressive and I believe his recieving corps closely resembled what Cutler now has for the most part. When he did get TO, that was the one year they went to the Super Bowl.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 02:29 PM) Cowley's reports are one-sided, but KW and Jerry won't talk to him, so hey, he gets to fire away with one side of the story. I can't believe people aren't a bit concerned about Coop after it was alleged he was a rat and snitch. Who's gonna want to pitch for him if that's true? What are we, in high school? "The Chicago White Sox were unable to sign a single FA pitcher because their pitching coach has been deemed a tattletale."

Happy Day of Birth!!!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) Could be as much as a dollar eleven if he is in Chicago. Last rental was $1.08, thank you very much.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 12:10 PM) Rangers should take this series rather easily based on talent. But the Cardinals were 10 1/2 games out of wildcard contention as late as August 28th. Now they're in the World Series. So I expect them to fluke/luck their way to another title. Ala 2006. They did sneak their way into the playoffs, but this team is still way better than that 2006 squad of jokers. They won 90 games, and would have won several more if they didn't start the season with Ryan Franklin as closer. The bullpen was so awful in the first half, it's amazing they stayed within 10.5 games.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 10:11 AM) If Carson Palmer can get 2 first round picks. I wonder what Aaron Rodgers would bring back in a trade. Nothing. I don't see a trade out there that would make sense for GB. If the Dolphins got the 2012 #1 pick (Andrew Luck) and offered the Packers every one of their draft picks for the next 5 years, including Luck, I still don't think Green Bay should take it. Maybe if someone includes a Ryan/Flacco type quarterback, then maybe some draft picks can make a deal, but I doubt it.

Boardwalk Empire has just been awesome. The main plotlines with Nucky, Jimmy, & all the bootlegging are interesting enough. Then you have all the crazy subplots going on and the weird relationships too. Margaret & the maids, Jimmy/Gillian/Commodore, Van Alden & his wife & pregnant whore, Chalky & his fam & the black community. Good stuff.

My list has way more comedies than dramas

@AdamSchefter Adam Schefter Carson Palmer to the Raiders now official. Compensation expected to be a 1 in 2012 and a conditional 1 in 2013.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 09:11 AM) Jay Glazer reporting that the Raiders and Bengals are close to a deal that will send Carson Palmer to Oakland Potentially a 2012 1st-rounder in the deal. Wow. I know Kyle Boller isn't very good, but is Palmer that much of an upgrade? He was Mr. Pick-Six the last two years in Cincy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 12:01 PM) But yeah, you should have had subtitles. Shoot Redbox an email, I have no idea what their customer service is like, but maybe you'll pull off one of their many free rentals. They gave me some long-winded explanation as to how to turn subtitles on/off, but also offered a free rental, so can't ask for much more.

I vote for this option. With Sale needing to build up his arm and Peavy's arm constantly falling off, you will need that 6th starter. Let Stewart every 5 days in Charlotte so he can be ready to pitch for the Sox when needed.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 05:32 PM) I wonder why the Bears are getting into London so late. Bucs arrived today. I think they'd rather practice at their own facilities, sleep in their own beds for a few days, and avoid the distractions of being abroad away from home for a week. On the flip side, the Buccs should be more well adjusted to the time change than the Bears.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 05:40 PM) The Cubs should tell the Red Sox to f*** off and hire Hahn or another guy. The backlash with the fans would be awful with a move like that though. Theo has already broken the Billy Goat curse in the eyes of fans & the Chicago media. If they suddenly didn't hire him because of a few prospects, the fans would not be happy.
