QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 09:08 AM) People watched the Bears last night? Why? Well I went to the game because I bought tickets in week 3. I would have shut it off at home though.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 10:19 PM) I'm glad some people feel the same way I do. I just can't morally bring myself to support this team. I have zero respect for roiders. Signing a third roider to this team? I don't want this to be thought of like the Bosox teams that were fueled by steroids. Maybe it will get better if this team is winning, but I just can't bring myself to cheer for Melky. LOL. My advice to you would be to stop watching sports in general.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 05:18 PM) I agree, and I have no idea what it was that Law saw, but that was his claim - the "good change, decent slider, big fastball, looks like a reliever" thing - and then he said "he got to the White Sox and added a 70 slider and now he looks like a true ace and yet White Sox fans won't let me hear the end of it." These guys are wrong from time to time or don't see guys at their best. Frankly, that slider is sexy but I think that changeup is still his best pitch. Law always has issues with guys that have unorthodox deliveries that don't look consistently repeatable. He wasn't a fan of Danish either but said that if anyone can make it work with him as a starter it's the White Sox.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 07:03 AM) I think the way things are run at Halas Hall, the way they like to beat things into the ground, Emery and Trest and Cutty will all be present in 2015 and feeding fans the same crap. I don't think Trestman survives. He really can't at this point.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 09:19 AM) Mario Williams is damn near unstoppable right now. It's amazing to think that the Texans, for 5 games, had both Mario Williams and JJ Watt. Frankly, I'm not sure there's a better 4-3 end in the game right now. The Bills really confused Rodgers in the secondary but it definitely wasn't all his fault. The Bills will be a scary team if they can get into the postseason, but that involves them beating both Oakland and New England, both on the road, and then getting some help too. Wite, what are they going to do at QB for next year? Take a run at a young veteran? RG3, Bradford?

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) Manziel might be worse than Tebow Kinda shows you the huge gap (no surprise) between the NFL and college football Makes my wonder why are a lot of people fans of crappy level football And this decision has been made after 1 NFL start. Okay then.

I love U.S. Cellular Field and the easy ride in from the SW Burbs. Leave it alone.

The Newsroom finale was great. Season wasn't but the end was really good in my opinion.

Man the last few pages of this thread have been terrible. Go cry somewhere else. The White Sox upgraded in a big way. I'm going to choose to be excited about that.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 10:14 AM) I wouldn't be too concerned, Viciedo will be traded and its likely Shuck or Jordan Danks will be the fourth OF. Shuck doesn't play CF and Danks is LH. I think they go with a RH hitting backup OF

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 01:22 PM) Yeah, we don't actually know that Kromer has confronted Jay this directly in private previously. If he hadn't, doing it anonymously through the media is pretty crappy. Cutler said during his press conference that this concerns weren't previously told to him privately.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 11:49 AM) Bulls couldn't fit him in the salary unless we trade both Taj and Mirotic. Who the f*** would do that Well one other way, Rose for Melo. It'd be shocking, but I wouldn't say I didn't see it coming. I'd trade Noah for him. Noah isn't very good right now, is always injured, and will want $15 million per year starting in 2016. I'd absolutely sacrifice Noah/Dunleavy/picks for Carmelo.

Wouldn't it be awesome if Matt Davidson could be that 1B/3B to spell Gillaspie/LaRoche against LHP?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 09:16 AM) So, #deathmarchformariota ? I'd love Mariota but it will cost a ton of picks. Even if the Bears finish 5-11, they will most likely be picking 7th overall. Love the idea though.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 08:20 AM) So Kromer called out Cutler for refusing to check out of bad run plays? So he thinks they should have been running the ball even less? He didn't call out Cutler though. He said it to Ian Rapaport anonymously and then admitted that he did it while crying in front of the team. If he called out Cutler it would have been fine. He went to the media about an in-house issue. He should have had his keys taken.

This is an interesting piece from Dave Cameron: http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/just-a-bit-ou...diocrity-121014

How was Kromer not fired on Monday when this happened? He can't be in the building still. God this is such a horrible franchise right now. I really don't think this coaching staff survives.

Anyone have any interest in Marlon Byrd? Can Michael Morse play LF? Really reaching here guys.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 11:41 AM) Definitely one more, maybe two. I'm guessing that this means dump Viciedo for last RHP bullpen piece, acquire or sign LF for sure, continue to try to upgrade at C.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) I actually liked Robinson Leyer- thought he had potential. I think it was Euclides Leyer that got taken.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 01:33 PM) And you know that how? Dee Gordon made major strides forward last year and while he struggled the year previously when coming up through the Dodgers system he was widely regarded as a top 100 prospect. He was a much different player a year ago and when you combine his speed and value on the paths, he brings a very unique skill-set. Like I said, I would trade Dee Gordon for Howie Kendrick when you consider contracts, etc. Kendrick is a better player but Gordon is on a superior contract. Dee Gordon doesn't get on base though. .324 .OBP last year.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 11:11 AM) So, the bullpen looks a lot better. RHP Guerra Petricka Webb Putnam Cleto? LHP Duke Surkamp Jennings Closer - Robertson Missing anyone? Yeah I think LHP Onelki Garcia has a real chance as well.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 10:49 AM) Greene and Simon. Porcello to Red Sox. That's what I meant. My bad.
