QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jan 1, 2011 -> 08:44 PM) The players? Or the Twins or Tigers? I just don't think that a manager has that big of an effect in baseball in a positive or negative way. The person that brings in the players and the players are the people who control whether a team wins or not. Ozzie's decision to go with Kotsay instead of THome had a much bigger effect on the team than anything he did in seasons. The GM has set the team up for success. I dont think you can say that KW has not put this team in a position to have success. Ozzie still has to write the lineup cards (playing people from his bench more often than needed comes to mind) and has to be held accounted for at some point in time.

i like it but dont see how we could afford it unless it is a 1 yr deal with performance incentives

cant wait to see the new Fast and Furious. By the way anyone looking to see the Little Fockers movie i just saw it the other night and thought it was pretty good

i have Call of Duty Black Ops but havent played the new Medal of Honor. I've been thinking about buying it but not for sure which one is better? Opinions anyone?

umm i quit smoking in late august so i can't use that as a resolution so if i had to chose one it would have to be in getting more efficient with fixing things on my vehicle and around the house do it yourselfs

Shawne Merriman resigns with Buffalo on a 2 yr deal ESPN article

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 07:15 PM) F the Packers. haha all joking aside i hope the packers and bears meet in the playoffs. It'd be great for the rivalry.

"Injuries can happen at any time. But for us, the guys have prepared in the offseason to go through this year. We haven't had a lot of injuries. We're just gonna keep it going in that direction." quote from Lovie Smith on ESPN Chicago all im trying to show is that the Packers have not gotten the "breaks" like that post has mentioned. That win against us wasnt dominating. It was by a field goal at the end of regulation. Anyone who watched that game knows that the Bears werent dominating in that game.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 09:43 AM) All the Lions need is for their offensive players to stay healthy, add another impact player on defense (ideally in the secondary) and that's probably a .500 team next season if they stay healthy. the lions have had alot of close games this season they could possibly be a 9-7 or 10-6 team next season especially if they can keep stafford healthy for the whole season although hill has filled in quite nicley

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 06:07 AM) Really??? The Packers faced Detroit's 3rd string QB, GB probably loses to Philly if Vick started the whole game, and now you get to face a team that has nothing to play for to make the playoffs. I'm sure there are a couple other breaks the Packers have got too.... REALLY? The packers have been one of the unluckiest teams in football this year. If any team in the NFL (definately including the bears in this one) were to lose their starting RB one of the top 2 CB on their roster at the time (Al Harris), their 2nd best reciever (donald driver missed a few games) their top TE for the season (Finley), Nick Barnett going down for the season, their defensive line has been banged up all season, not to mention aaron rodgers got a concussion in that detroit game so it was Matt Flynn against the 3rd string QB in the 2nd half of that game Anyone who suggests the Bears are the superior of the two teams are crazy, i know they cant control who they play but their strength of schedule was horrible Detroit is a far better team then they were at the beginning of the season when they should have beat the bears week one if the ref didnt blow the calvin johnson touchdown... If Vick started the whole game Im sure the packers would have went into the game with a different gameplan on defense.... 4 of the 6 losses GB has had has been by a field goal in OT or right at the end of regulation to end the game. The other 2 games have been lost by 4 pts...talk about the "breaks" the packers have got...jeez

well this would be a nice christmas present there is absolutely no chance to acquire him

Merry Christmas everyone! This is my daughters first Christmas so im pretty pumped!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 09:36 AM) #mets, #yankees and others have asked for medicals on freddy garcia, the 2nd best free-agent pitcher left, after pavano - Jon Heyman I guess Freddy is about to get paid this offseason. didnt the mets release him awhile back before he came back to us?

that was horrible clock management i wanted to break my tv

they've been able to run the ball effectively for once this season

they should be dominating the scoreboard but poor tackling have kept the patriots in the game

anyone else see that kickoff return by the pats o lineman....omg too funny (and im a packers fan)

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 19, 2010 -> 11:08 AM) Agreed, especially with Sox not having to face him anymore. It will be fun getting to watch him hit in the NL. it will be a thrill watching him pitch in the NL. I think he'll thrive on NL hitters

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 19, 2010 -> 10:42 AM) This deal makes me smile. The Yankees lose, and the Cubs road gets harder. What's not to like? and we no longer have to face greinke all those times against KC every year

i like the move both for the brewers and greinke....he stays out of the big city spotlight and the brewers have one hell of a rotation

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 08:51 PM) The Yankees will go very hard after him I imagine. can you imagine the spotlight that will be on Greinke if he indeed does get traded to them....he went from no pressure in KC to the most in all of sports overnight - recipe for disaster in NY

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 08:48 PM) They signed the Japanese player for 2b or SS (I might have been losing it, but I believe they traded Hardy last week during the flurry of activity around MLB and it got buried). Not saying he is going to step in and be an all-star, but for 2b or SS they'll be using him they did i forgot about him. I think he went to Baltimore if i remember correctly....

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 08:43 PM) They're looking at a rotation right now of Sabathia, Burnett, Hughes, Nova and Mitre right now. Other than C.C., that's an extremely questionable staff. Nobody knows what Pettitte's plans are. Combine that with what the Red Sox have done and I guarantee you they'll make a huge play for ZG if he agrees to go there. i have no doubt the Yankees will probably make a push for him especially with what Boston has done this offseason so far.... I just dont know if that environment would be the best for success for Greinke...and hey im not feeling bad for the Yankees one bit this offseason...I hope the offseason snubs keep coming for them

Dont know if this has been posted yet but the San Diego Padres signed Orlando Hudson to a 2 year deal. On a more important note the twins just keep losing players.....crain, guerrier, hudson, the list could still grow....if i was a twins fan I def would be a little worried. Do they really think their minor league can fill those voids? I mean i never say never because they are the twins but they are definately hurting this offseason

with his personal issues i don't think the yankees will be too crazy over trying to get Greinke. Greinke needs to pitch somewhere where the stress level isnt that high. I believe he would get ate alive in the big apple, somewhere like Texas would be a perfect scenerio for him....they just lost Lee if they acquired him that would be a huge pick up for the Rangers.
