Quin

Players I want to take the last shot: Melo, Paul, Ray Allen, BG.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 11:21 AM) And so it begins!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 29, 2011 -> 05:24 PM) They're a distant 4th behind the Cards, Reds and Brewers. They had their chance in '08. They blew it badly too. I just will never understand the Garza and Pena moves. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 29, 2011 -> 06:05 PM) It was 100% a business move by Zell. He basically said spend as much money as needed to get this team as close as you can to the WS, so that it will be worth more when I sell it. Hendry did exactly that, and got back-to-back playoff appearances and the best team in the NL in 2008. They choked in the playoffs and now those big contracts are destroying them. Zell was a genius. Also, didn't he own part of the Sox before the Cubs?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 12:04 AM) Yeah, I just saw that. Well I didn't see any of Infante last year. Stuff I've read didn't conclude that he had plus velocity. But I'd say almost 96 MPH definitely qualifies. So I was wrong there. I saw him live...electric.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 29, 2011 -> 11:15 PM) Has a team in recent history flown more under the radar than this year's Spurs? They beat the Rockets tonight to push their record to 40-7. And they get about as much pub as my HS intramural team. Their depth is insane. THE HEAT ARE BETTER! It's their lack of flash in this eras NBA, especially post-Decision.

QUOTE (cws0591 @ Jan 29, 2011 -> 04:25 PM) I agree that they are not rebuilding but it was widely thought that they were going too until they got Pena and traded for Garza. Which will do nothing but keep them out of the playoffs and towards the middle of the draft.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 29, 2011 -> 04:21 PM) I was interested to see if this version as better than the one who beat the Bulls by 30 earlier, and I was correct it wasn't. The other team with Lewis and Carter simply gave the Bulls fits with their perimiter shooting, tough match-up in length, and overall quickness than guys like J-Rich and Arenas.. Doesn't mean they are better players, it was simply just the match-up. I never wanted to play the Magic before just because of those those two and what a nightmare they are playing against us and of course you got that Howard guy thrown in. I see you're Ace again. Just observation. I used to dread watching games vs. the Magic, but I thought the trade made them worse against the Bulls and it seems I was right.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 29, 2011 -> 10:21 AM) Ok, I actually got angry when I read your post. Oops. Come on Balta, you should know I'm a ridiculous homer. With an actual SG, I could see the Bulls surge to #1 in the East if Miami's injuries linger and Boston slows down.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 29, 2011 -> 09:51 AM) How do you come to this after a win? Should have used green font. I was quoting Dbaho earlier in the thread, because the Bulls are currently top 2 in the East.

Bulls can't hang with Top 3 in East.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 06:20 PM) They're not gonna be the same thing, obviously. Wasn't there a Sony NBA Game a few years ago where you could move your franchise team back and forth from PS3 to PSP? That would be sick for sports games, though they'd have to do a bundle deal like Joe said.

Bulls 2nd in East.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 27, 2011 -> 01:14 PM) Rawr. Goddamn I'm excited for that.

If only the Yankees had signed Bobby instead of the Sawks.

http://www.sportspickle.com/picture/4917/2...prove-his-image Wow. Just...wow.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 17, 2011 -> 07:51 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. I swear to god I thought we were talking about E-Jax right there.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 07:54 PM) Jeter may move to the outfield in the next few season, where he will most likely continue to win gold gloves.... Jeter will win the GG at pitcher when he DHs.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 12:13 PM) Your 2011 White Sox numbers: 1- Pierre 3- Baines 8- Cox 10- Ramirez 11- Vizquel 12- Pierzynski 13- Guillen 14- Konerko 15- Beckham 17- Flowers 18- Lillibridge 20- Quentin 21- Cooper 22- Morel 23- Teahen 24- Viciedo 26- Crain 27- Castro 28- Cora 29- Walker 30- De Aza 31- Ohman 32- Dunn 33- Jackson 34- Floyd 36- Nieves 37- Thornton 38- Gartrell 40- Bruney 41- Humber 44- Peavy 45- McPherson 46- Santos 47- Infante 48- Marquez 49- Sale 50- Danks 51- Rios 52- Kinney 53- Dolsi 54- Nunez 55- Lucy 56- Buehrle 57- Pena 58- Harrell 59- Salas 60- Gray 61- Hynick 62- Escobar 63- Cofield 64- Carter 65- Jones 66- Lindsay 67- Danks 68- Socolovich 70- Bellamy 71- Leesman 74- Price 75- Phegley 76- Short No Charlie! Not the cursed number!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) Yeah he went from under the radar to overrated. +1

Don't like the flipping of Napoli.

Goddamn it Bears and Jets.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 03:22 AM) No, Viciedo has no chance of overtaking Juan Pierre for left field, and no, he is not going to take over Teahen's job, and I strongly doubt that he will be on the opening day roster, though that is at least plausible. Most indications are that Viciedo is nowhere close to being capable defensively in the outfield, and he's not going to suddenly be capable through Spring Training. He needs tons of live action in the outfield, so that is what he will get in AAA this year. If a bat is needed at some point during the season, as opposed to a mere live body who can play a few positions, he will probably be the first called up. As of right now, the White Sox want to get Viciedo's bat into the lineup, but they have all 3 spots that he is capable of playing locked up for 3 years at the very minimum. The best way to get his bat into play is to put him in the outfield. He has to be able to play the outfield before he can be an outfielder. Exactly. If Viciedo replaces anyone on this roster, it will be Quentin if he performs badly again.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 01:29 AM) Excellent article http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writ...d=twitter_share No kidding. That article is gold.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 11:29 PM) Yet murder a few dogs, and lay on a few screaming women, shoot up a nightclub and you are okay. QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 11:31 PM) But enough about Oney He makes a good point. Jay's not warm and cuddly, but unlike Vick and Rothelisberger and Favre he's done nothing horrifying off the field, yet I guarantee they are more loved. Plus, Clay Matthews is an arrogant jackass. Seriously.

Bulls are good. Makes Bears' loss easier knowing we have Rose and Noah on the other side of town.
