QUOTE (beautox @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 02:16 AM) I personally feel that the Rays and Jays will be sitting atop the east when the season ends. I'm not confident in Boston's rotation as both the rays and jays have supeior pitching and depth. I seriously feel unless cashman Hal burns through the yankee's farm system for some legit pitching, it won't matter who they hand the games over to in the 7-9th. Wow, really? If that's the case, you might as well put the Orioles in the mix. I mean, I like what AA has done with that team, but they're just not on the same level as Boston or NY.

Finally, Ozzie says something that makes a good deal of sense regarding the lineup.

Dead Space scared the living crap out of me and my friends. I would love to have the ability to sleep after playing through it, but I think I'll be good. In the time I did play it, I did enjoy it and I've read the synopsis of the story and found it pretty interesting. I think it's just best to say I don't like horror games too much. I'm fine with the Resident Evils with the world, but Dead Space is on another level.

Happy birthday!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 10:54 PM) wow That's a bit too much.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 08:35 PM) Byron Scott has to be thinking, "WHat the hell have I gotten myself into?" I think of this every time I see the Cavs play. Byron must hate LeBron more than the average person does.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 03:50 PM) I don't think Ozzie has any business telling his son who he can and cannot date. My point was that Ozzie is the enabler here. He is well aware of his son's antics and he has all the power necessary to keep him away from work-related events. If Ozzie managed an Applebees there would be no reason for his son to be there. Same thing here, no reason for him to be there. Yet Ozzie is allowing it even though he knows it may lead to more s*** from Oney. And I'm sure I'll come off as misogynistic here, but a man is supposed to keep tabs on his woman if she's capable of flying off the handle like that. Something tells me Oney isn't man enough to do that, and that if anything he probably encourages her behavior. And actually, I would imagine the girl controls him if anything. Nobody with a sac follows his dad around like a lost puppy and only breaks the umbilical when he wants to go out and spend his money. I'm an Ozzie fan and I just wish he'd cut the s*** already. I definitely agree with this sentiment. The reason why Oney is such a douche is probably because Ozzie has allowed him to be throughout his childhood. Sure, Ozzie probably can't tell Oney what to do now since Oney is technically an adult, but the fact that he is in this current idiotic form has to be part of Ozzie's doing. Denying this notion is like saying that the drug dealer, whose parents also deal drugs, was not influenced by his/her parents' actions at all.

lol

I beat the Packers 56-20 in Madden if it means anything. Rodgers got picked twice for pick-sixes by Zach Bowman...I know.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) Looks like the Vlad and the O's are close to a deal. http://twitter.com/JimBowdenXMFOX/status/28670852690092033 They've also had a pretty underrated off-season. Ultimately, their success will depend on many of their young guys. But they've supplemented that youth with quality veterans nicely. Looks like Luke Scott will be playing LF. That lineup is gonna be pretty damn good. 1. Roberts 2B 2. Markakis RF 3. Lee 1B 4. Guerrero DH 5. Scott LF 6. Reynolds 3B 7. Jones CF 8. Wieters C 9. Hardy SS There's not a bad hitter in that lineup.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 10:27 AM) Danks looks like he got some new teeth this offseason. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...73.photogallery It appears Adam Dunn grew out his beard...

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 01:31 PM) Ben Gordon, Kirk Hinrich and John Salmons were still on that team too, way better supporting guards than they have now. In other words, it's a completely different series. That group also had a horrible time trying to defend Ray Allen. Hinrich's a good defender, but the other two, especially Gordon, weren't exactly stellar. I think it's clear that this Bulls team is much better than that one. The Bulls most likely won't play Boston until the second round anyways. I just hope we don't end up playing NY. I'd much rather play the Hawks or whoever ends up being the 7th seed.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 01:15 PM) Tyrus was hitting jumpers all over that series, wasn't he? He hit one pretty big one and had one or two good games. Otherwise, eh, not really. That big jumper he hit was almost a 3. When he shot it, I was literally yelling "WTF?" Good thing it went in. Boozer's been good in the playoffs in his career, so having him there will make a very big difference.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 12:42 PM) Yes it is, but Abreu will be DHing. They are going with Wells-Bourjos-Hunter from left to right. That is significantly better. That can actually be a very solid OF. Bourjos is insane. Hunter doesn't have CF range anymore, but I think he can be at least an average RF. Same with Wells in LF.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 12:17 PM) wasn't garnett out that year? He was, but the Bulls also had Tyrus Thomas that year and no Luol Deng.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 07:00 PM) Trading Drabek to shed Wells' salary is a fireable offense. You don't trade the best pitcher in the game in Halladay and get back a prized SP prospect to send him off a year later just to shed salary. Just when AA was doing well, he makes a really weird and fire-able move.

Oh wow. Angels got desperate I guess.

Meh. If we're gonna worry about Ozzie getting questions from the media about his contract situation, then we might as well sign him forever or something. Seems kind of pointless. I'd much rather do it in-season.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 01:57 PM) Good LORD. MLB's top 10 right now - Centerfielders...No Rios. Both Ellsbury and Seizmore made the list over him. Curtis Granderson was #3! Matt Kemp #2... Jeez, MLB Nework doesn't hate the White Sox like ESPN, but that was ridiculous... After the year Kemp just had, I don't know how you can place him in the top 10.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 10:29 PM) WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! Actually, that sounds pretty badass. All day, every day. For two weeks. I would love that.

Wait a minute... Betalgeuse is 640 light years away. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean that the light we observe from the star is light from 640ish years ago? Because I have a hard time believing that light from a super nova can eclipse the speed of...well...light.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 09:44 PM) The Bulls are the ultimate "play to your opponents level" team. It seems like this happens to all Chicago teams.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 04:58 PM) And Teahen starting would be a slap in the face to all us fans... I don't think Ozzie cares.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 03:41 PM) 2 mil + incentives? That's it? I wish the Sox could have come up with that to keep him around. It's Kenny's fault for giving Teahen that stupid contract extension.
