im on military leave supposed to be back in Virginia in the office on Friday but it doesnt look like that is going to happen. oh well another day here wont hurt anything

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 31, 2011 -> 08:56 PM) This is true. But then again, the Sox only have three standouts on defense in Rios, Alexei, and Pierre. I know many will disagree w/ me but paulie saves a lot of errors at first base I'd throw him in the standout category if juan pierre is in there

I drive a good ol' 2007 ford f150

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 17, 2011 -> 08:51 PM) When he is healthy, he has a fastball that can touch 100 and a killer slider, so he absolutely has the stuff to be a closer. Whether he actually has that this year or in the future is a completely different story. This isn't like talking about a 38 year old Greg Maddux though, this is still a guy who turned 25 in September who can easily find his stuff again. Right now, it doesn't make sense for the Sox, but if it were a buy low type of scenario, I could see the Sox being all over it. just because your fastball can touch 100 doesnt mean that you have closer "stuff" you have to have the mentality, you can't just throw anyone you feel like back there and expect them to succeed. i agree it is a buy low type of scenerio but there is no way you get the guy for EJax he has too many question marks right now and until he proves he can put it back together i wouldnt trade anything major for him

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 17, 2011 -> 08:14 PM) Even as a Bears fan, I'm surprised they are only 3 point dogs. Even at home. Still dumb for Jennings and Grant to be saying that stuff. You don't give another team bulletin board material like that. if you need bulletin board material to get up for a game against your division rivals in the NFC Championship game i think you shouldn't be there in the first place, not saying that the packers should talk all the crap they want (personally i think they should just shut up and play the game) i just think that this wont give the bears any extra motivation as they are already playing the underdog card in the first place

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jan 17, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) gz it's only monday and i'm already sick of the overconfident packer fans w/ the pack taking out the number 3 and number 1 seed already confidence should be high. especially the way they handled atlanta on saturday. it will be a good game no matter what. Im hoping the packers blow the bears out early so i can focus more on my daughters bday party that day

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 16, 2011 -> 11:10 AM) Was this an idea posted by someone from a yanks board? Because thats about how bats*** crazy it is. i couldn't have said this any better. all this trade will do is hurt us and of course we are going "all in" this season

i really am glad brady lost.....anytime i watch him anymore all he is doing on the field is crying about everything. just tired of seeing all of that every week when they struggle or things dont go Mr. Brady's way

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 17, 2011 -> 09:40 AM) So, when do we start hearing about how Tom Brady can't win the big one any more? i was hearing the beginnings of it on Mike and Mike in the morning today. Last 3 playoff games all losses 5TDs compared to 4 INTs and 2 of the previous 3 gms were played at home (the other one was the superbowl against the giants)

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Feb 12, 2010 -> 04:19 PM) So the Bears need to go after every FA out there. Bagboy in the RedEye(who never makes sense) made sense today. To compete for the SB, Bears need: Brandon Marshall Steve Breaston Darren Sharper Shawn Merriman E Dumervil Terrel Owens i just ran across this quote lol. i'm a packers fan but i'll tip my hat to the bears they made it this far w/ out every single one of these players

c'mon seattle! as much as i would like to see a GB/CHI rival NFC Championship game i'd love the seahawks steal a win here

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 15, 2011 -> 10:19 PM) Well, luckily for us, it doesn't matter if we look ahead. I just hope the players are more worried about getting past Seattle first. thats what i meant Go Packers!

if i was a bears fan i'd be more worried about getting past Seattle first of all

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 15, 2011 -> 08:20 PM) I'm getting a disturbingly large amount of writing done on my Hawaii paper tonight, despite the NFL games on and the whiskey bottle next to me. I'm not sure what this means. that means it is going to be one hell of a paper

i thought it was pretty decent, not great but definately something to watch to pass the time

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jan 15, 2011 -> 11:38 AM) Joba has dominant closer stuff and with the signing of Soriano is expendable. im a believer in that you have to have a certain mindset to close we dont even know if chamberlain has that he only has 4 saves in his career. Last season he gave up 71 hits in 71 2/3 innings pitched w/ a 4.40 ERA. Those numbers don't have closer written all over them

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jan 15, 2011 -> 11:36 AM) It gives them flexibility to either pick up a starter if Jake can't go or allows them to take on at the trade deadline. why do that when you could just plug sale in the rotation till jake gets healthy in the first place? besides our bullpen seems pretty decent right now as it is. adding joba while subtracting jackson would hurt us more than it would help us

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jan 15, 2011 -> 11:20 AM) No Thanks! Jackson is my wildcard for 2011. I think he will have a Jon Garland 2005 type season for us. I was really impressed with his pitch selection, location and execution last year. i agree w/ this. I don't think Joba is anything special.

this offseason has seemed to go by alot quicker than last years. i guess all of the acquisitions we've done this offseason has made me more excited about the whitesox than i can think of in recent years

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2011 -> 02:07 PM) Not to mention, they lost on every single FA they went after of any significance. gotta love it when the yanks strike out on players they want

definately glad we didnt sign him for that much plus gave up a draft pick for him WOW

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jan 12, 2011 -> 08:01 PM) I was thinking the same thing for VZW customers who are ready to get this iPhone. Might as well wait since you have to keep the phone for two years. It better be running optimally. i was reading somewhere that the new every 2 promotion was being removed from verizon as well let me look for the link...

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 07:57 PM) Some guy that looks like TCQ does All State or State Farm commercials at a baseball stadium or airport...and they're bad. Like TCQ playing defense bad. HAHA i see that commercial all the time and never drew the connection....nice

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 9, 2011 -> 08:33 PM) I'd rather be lucky than good. i'd rather be both

i feel for all chiefs fans out there right now.....there is no sicker feeling than getting blown out in a one and done playoff gm
