Quin

The laughing keeps me from crying. But actually, it's to be expected. He had knee surgery.

Ditka is such an ass. According to him the Redskins controversy is all about the politically correct idiots in the country. Go f*** yourself Mike.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 02:55 PM) Forget him as a prospect, that K-rate will not work at the MLB level. He'll strike out the first nine, then they all just give up.

I'm pulling for Manziel because the criticism of him compared to other football players is ridiculous and idiotic

Darvish cleared waivers. Crazy.

This is a goofy, reactionary thread that won't prompt any real construction considering Marquis Jackson is in the LLWS right now and thus not able to sign with teams. Prompt the question in the LLWS thread.

Damn. So close.

I like this Avi kid. Good pick up.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2013 -> 10:07 PM) I kind of question Rios in TWTW department. I have no proof, of course. The eye test tells me he's a decent ballplayer whose TWTW can be questioned. If I'm wrong, behead me. I think he screams mediocre to good ballplayer, kind of like Jose Guillen near the end of Jose's career. Greg is technically correct. He was cool with Rios' face, he was not cool with Rios' TWTW stats.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 18, 2014 -> 12:59 PM) If Mark really thought he would play out that entire contract in Miami, then he's the only one. This. Once you saw how it was structured it was obvious he'd be gone.

No need to apologize. I really hope that he can come back for maybe the last season of his career. Man I miss Mark.

Autopsy said Brown was shot 6 times, no gunshot residue on the body. Rioting happening again. Friend told me that he needs proper identification to get past an intersection and to his house. Guns pointed at the intersection.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 11:54 PM) EJ isn't even a pimple on Coop's ass right now imo, he's been brutal and was recently shut down with "shoulder tightness" or something. Sale Q Rodon Noesi Danks that won't fly IMO they need at least 2 more guys to compete and ideally Rodon wouldn't come up until May. Yes, my point was that Noesi is likely the number five and they wait it out to see if EJ rebounds, Beck or Bassitt develop enough to make bigs next year. I'm just very hesitant to hand out big deals to the likes of Masterson or Shields that we'll likely regret in a few years.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 07:38 PM) I love Moises and Conor lol It's my new favorite reality show.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) 1) Sale 2) Q 3) ? 4) Rodon 5) Danks Who will be our #3? I guess Noesi, sadly. Depends on how much they trust EJ on possibly rebounding or how fast they think Beck or Bassitt can develop. Then you've got to see how they think Adams/Montas/Danish/Martinez develop.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 12, 2014 -> 06:44 PM) Alcantara has already been slumping after a nice start. Baez with 13 K's in 33 AB's, although a bit of an improvement over 10/23. OTOH, their young pitcher Hendricks is doing a pretty good impression of Greg Maddux Lite. Or Dylan Axelrod? I have no idea how the comparison can be Maddux or Axelrod. That's a very wide spectrum.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 03:36 PM) There are posters who hate Dunn so much they will claim he's blocking Jared Mitchell if necessary. Adam Dunn is blocking Tyler Danish.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 12:57 AM) Rooting for losses is unquestionably a s***ty thing to do. I don't care to question your fandom. The Sox still shouldn't have landed Rodon. He probably shouldn't have slipped. Would the losses be worth it then? It's just an ugly argument. I'd rather just play the ignorance card when the team isn't in contention (like now) and then be pleased to see a high draft pick after the fact. Rooting for losses would feel really dirty. I'm down. But as others have said, just enjoy the now and having Rodon.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 05:56 PM) You can be happy with the result without pulling for them to lose. Not saying you can't, I mean the people that said people who pulled for losses aren't real fans.

Everyone missing dunks. AD, Klay, Rose.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 08:40 PM) Seeing Derrick in these all star teams / national teams is just a bit awkward. He's not a great half court player, he's not a creative passer and court vision is only average, and there are better scorers on the team than he is. Derrick Rose sucks we should cut him.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 08:21 PM) Anthony Davis...wow. Derrick, start recruiting your fellow Chicagoan now.

Apparently Rose gave a pregame speech about stopping violence in Chicago.
