QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 12:06 AM) Also, loving the Falcons coming back to win. Awesome stuff. The ghosts of puppies past are working against Michael Vick right now. Its fantastic. I know people in our society think of dogs very highly. But IMO, the well being of a human being is exponentially more important. Vick paid his dues, people shouldn't be wishing harm upon him anymore, doing so just makes you out to be less humane.

Watching the Patriots and Chargers game made me kinda sick. Why can't the Bears have a line that can provide that kind of protection? Ugh.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 18, 2011 -> 05:29 PM) They haven't had a competent O-line since '06. It's really pathetic. I feel bad for Cutler. The guy gets molested every other week.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2011 -> 05:23 PM) Ouch Most of the difference is the O-line. If what happened today continues for the rest of the season, Angelo should be fired for not addressing the O-line correctly.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 18, 2011 -> 05:05 PM) Nothing to do w/ Fantasy, I'm a Cowboys fan. I think he's talking about the post before that one. Where you talked about not starting somebody. Jamaal Charles is out for the year. I drafted him second overall too. Oh well.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 18, 2011 -> 11:17 AM) Damn! A whole 6 inches off the ground! Damn! People go to WNBA games?

QUOTE (zenryan @ Sep 18, 2011 -> 03:54 PM) Cam Newton throws for 432. What a start. 3 picks though. He has the talent to be an absolute stud.

I use Tapatalk on my Android phone. I was looking to add this site, but couldn't find it. It'd be great if you guys can implement it.

Kansas City is just horrible. Jaamal Charles is probably done for a while. How the hell did they make the playoffs last year?

If Carimi doesn't come back healthy soon, this O-line is going to be far worse than last year's...

They need to get Cutler out of this game. He's going to get hurt at this rate.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 05:02 PM) He also might be in demand. I mean sure, but what do you expect to get back for him? We have nobody in our system that can fill his role immediately and play as well. So unless you can get a good SS back + pitching prospects, trading him would be a bad idea.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 06:00 PM) Kyle Orton went what, 10-3 in a mediocre offense as a rookie? They pretty much won despite him. But Orton really did develop into a decent QB in 08.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) This. They kept exiling him back to the minors in '09 and '10 even though it was clear that there was nothing left for him to accomplish down there. And it really wasn't like he was horrendous at the ML level. .344 wOBA in 08. .323 wOBA in 09. Then he pretty much got exiled to AAA last season in favor of Alberto Callaspo and Wilson Betemit.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 04:40 PM) Glad to see he's doing well. He has only 34 RBIs all year though? Yikes. Who would have thought Beckham would have such a crap season. If he does this again next year, what makes him any better than somebody like Getz? Beckham is a good fielder, though, damn good. Nobody in front of him gets on base. It's not his fault he has 34 RBIs.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 04:53 PM) The Onion has named Adam Dunn the AL Cy Young Award Winner.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 03:29 PM) I'd like to see something like this in 2012 C AJ 6m Flowers .4m 1B Konerko 12m 2B Beckham .6m* SS 3B Morel .5m* LF De Aza .5m* Lillibridge .6m* CF Rios 12m RF Viciedo 3.25m DH Dunn 14M UT Escobar .4m SP Buehrle 10m* SP Peavy 17m SP Sale 1m* SP Humber 1m* SP Stewart .5M* RP Crain 4.5M RP Ohman 2.5M RP Reed .5m Assuming a payroll of around $105m with additions at short and the pen needed. I might sign someone like Ramon Santiago for 2y/5m. That would be 20 players at about $85m. As I've said before, I'd stock up on pitching for Danks, Floyd, Thornton, Santos, Quentin, and Ramirez. With the economy the way it is, I wouldn't expect more than 75% value in return for that group, however. You do realize that you're getting rid of one of the best SS in the AL by trading Ramirez right? He's cheap for how much he actually does give you.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 04:41 PM) Somebody on this board wrote the other day Florida was going to sign him for (four) years. Why the venom with me repeating that? If a guy is 'total trash' then why would another team give him a nice deal?? Florida's manager is an 80 something year old. They'd take just about any established ML manager instead.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 10:34 AM) Simply disagree. That guy was not going to be an effective player for the last 2 years. He'd have looked like Beckham. He was never given the chance to show otherwise really.

QUOTE (Papa Tru @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 11:36 AM) DEVELOPMENT YOU SAY?? Brent Morel Pre All Star: .244/.260/.295/.555 1 HR 15 RBI 3 BB 27 K Post All Star: .263/.322/.456/.778 7 HR 19 RBI 13 BB 20 K Wow, Morel's walking and hitting for power. Never thought I'd see this happen.

QUOTE (Papa Tru @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 11:22 PM) Why do people act like Tebow was awful when he got to play last season? There are a lot worse options out there than Tim Tebow.. Yeah, like Todd f***in' Collins.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 10:58 PM) KC fans have no reason to laugh at anybody. They haven't played a meaningful baseball game in about 20 years. We could be the laughing stock in all of baseball. But there's teams with larger payrolls that suck even more, so that doesn't happen.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 10:46 PM) This sucks, I get no consideration at all. Minor league scouting director?

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 09:46 PM) People in the KC area are laughing at the Sox and Ozzie. Not even our eternal optimists can't think of a reason Ozzie should still be managing, let alone get an extension. Your team needs to cut their losses and start fresh. Greg says people in Lawrence think otherwise...even "sabes" people.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 07:34 PM) 3-4 years ago everyone here was wishing they could get Cabrera from the Yankees and Frenchy wasn't even reasonable enough to be a crazy idea. This season is Francouer's first above average season since 2007 (and he wasn't even great that year). Unless Francouer discovers the idea that making outs = bad, he will continue to be mediocre at best from an offensive perspective. Same goes for Cabrera. I don't see both of them doing this next season. Alex Gordon is making Dayton Moore look really stupid for keeping him down in the minors for the majority of the past two seasons. That guy can play.
