QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) Just became aware of the One+ phone manufacturer. Very interesting stuff. But I assume those phones aren't available on contracts, so it would actually cost me more money, not less. One Plus Ones have their fair share of issues (lots of issues with screens and their customer service isn't very good). It's a great phone for the price, but in the end, you get what you pay for.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 04:23 PM) Does anyone have any experience with wireless headphones? I need a lower end pair for myself and nicer brand for my Dad. Any experience would be highly appreciated. I have two pairs. One for working out, another for white noise when I sleep (I live by train tracks and there's construction going on next to my apt). I bought a pair of Sony ones for $40 on sale, I think they're around $70-80 MSRP. Great sound quality, very comfortable. The work-out headphones I got are Motorola. Meh sound quality, but light and good for working out. I've had those for 4 years now.

What a sausage fest this site is.

QUOTE (kevo880 @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 05:34 PM) Adam Schefter‏@AdamSchefter·2 mins2 minutes ago Stunner from Chicago: Bears starting QB Jimmy Clausen this week, per source. Definitely didn't expect that. I was thinking that Cutler's time in Chicago was more or less done after the absolutely dreadful first 3 quarters against the Saints, but I didn't think they'd bench him.

I think this might be the best group of new players to come to the Sox at the same time.

lol....why? He's going to flame out in ST anyhow.

Made the final in 2 of my 4 leagues. Finished 5th in the other. Another one is only in the semis next week.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) At the moment, their rotation is Buccholz, Porcello, Miley, Masterson, and Kelly. They'd need Buccholz to be great and Masterson to bounce back if they want any chance of even reaching the playoffs.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 11:10 AM) Boston with 9-1. LMAO. Do they even have 5 starting pitchers...?

Champions League round of 16 draws are out. Chelsea vs. PSG should be real good. Barcelona vs. Man City should be as well, although I fully expect Barcelona to win that.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 09:42 AM) Ya, Abreu is totally going to be a 2.3 WAR player this year Read what Jake said after he posted that part. Then take a look at the DH portion.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 09:22 AM) Yeah, those projections are grossly pessimistic. That's what some projection systems are. They're pessimistic to be safe.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 10:31 PM) The Newsroom finale was great. Season wasn't but the end was really good in my opinion. I felt that the ending was a bit rushed. Only 6 episodes this season? I mean, come on... I know Sorkin has other stuff to work on, but this entire season literally felt like it consisted of 2-3 major plot lines.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:31 PM) Astros No wonder he turned it down.

No Bosh for the Heat, but damn, Bulls are up 25.

It's baseball guys. I watch baseball for fun, not to question whether or not what I'm doing is morally correct. You've probably unknowingly rooted for child abusers, wife beaters, and guys on HGH before. This isn't anything new.

I started Manziel for fun in a league where I lost in the first round. I honestly don't care if I finish 5th or 6th. I had a good laugh at how bad he was.

Odell Beckham Jr. and Jeremy Hill are awesome.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 02:11 AM) Also... time for the folks who said we'd only have 20 - 30 M in spending money to eat up... we're over 50 now in my estimate. Had us pegged for 45... so even this offseason has surpassed my lofty optimistic pleas. Duke - $5 million Samardzija - $10 million Robertson - $11.5 million Cabrera - $14.5 million LaRoche $12.5 million $53.5 million. We had $48.5 million committed at the start of the off-season. Add all of this on and we'll be at $100 million. This isn't all that surprising, since a lot of teams are over the $100 million mark. I think we still have room for some improvement.

Things I'd like for the Sox to add: 1) #4 or #5 right-handed starter 2) Veteran 2B for insurance in case Sanchez/Johnson don't work out For the 2B, I'd love for us to get Jed Lowrie. Not sure if he'll be affordable though.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 01:11 AM) Jesse Sanchez @JesseSanchezMLB · 14m 14 minutes ago Source confirms Melky Cabrera agreed to 3-year deal for an estimated $42-43.5M with CWS pending physical. @MLBBruceLevine reported agreement* *taken from SSS Hopefully Melky's a 3-win player. But this is about his market value. It's hard to get extra value out of bigger FA signings, that's just the way it is these days. FWIW, Melky's always killed the Sox. He's hit .336 at the Cell. Maybe he likes the hitting backdrop. Or maybe we never found out how to pitch to him, lol.

Mirotic is having a ton of success running the floor.

Aldridge was just making everything. Nothing you could really do.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 03:54 PM) Seriously, how is this different from last year for the Knicks? They hated their coach, switched GMs, clearly had nothing on their roster long term and were playing for cap space several years away. They weren't 4-19. They were bad, but not this bad.
