It's been a disappointing first part of the season, but there are positives to build on going into the ASB. Jo is looking more and more active. Gasol and Jimmy showing no signs of slowing down. Derrick beginning to attack more, pulling out the old MVP moves. Shooting less threes. Snell gaining confidence. McDermott is healthy. Dunleavy is back. Kirk is on the bench at the moment.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 12, 2015 -> 01:07 AM) While I was in St. Louis last weekend for the Hawks game, my family was talking about a sports quiz I made up years back and I was able to actually find it on Sporcle. I think I've posted this here before years ago, but here it is again. http://www.sporcle.com/games/JoeCoolMan24/...houtCityorState Anyone get all 8?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 10, 2015 -> 05:01 PM) I always love articles that say the team is going to be bad, but on the other hand he wouldn't be surprised if they won 90 games. He will count himself correct in October no matter what happens. That was my favorite part. "They will either be under .500 or really, really good."

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Feb 10, 2015 -> 09:48 AM) Someone refresh my memory on why the Sox don't qualify for the competitive balance rounds? I believe the 10 teams in the smaller markets and/or 10 with the lowest revenue qualify for the lottery. The Sox attendance was among the lowest the past few years, ergo low revenue (unless we really save THAT much with the low rental cost of the Cell). I understand Cardinals are in because of their market size, but how did Mariners qualify again? Because apparently the Cubs don't exist.

Dylan O'Brien and Ansel Elgort would be good picks. Drake Bell actually wouldn't be a bad pick, but I'd avoid it. Zac Efron has been cited. Also: Stay away from Donald Glover / Maguire / Gyllenhall. They're all too old for a character that will likely be in his late teens / early 20s. Also, they aren't going to make Peter African-American because they have Miles Morales and they explicitly stated that they aren't doing Miles Morales.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 10, 2015 -> 08:01 AM) At the cost we are talking about here ($80 million + no real international signings for two years) to me it isn't worth it. Moncada basically has to be Mike Trout to justify it.

I'd love Beachy as a reclamation project. As far as aim for the moon; Moncada or Longoria.

Sony and Marvel reached an agreement to include Spidey in MCU films.

Wat

Doug 9 points in 4 minutes. 81 points per 36. Free him Thibs.

AD making his best case for allowing hanging on the rim.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Feb 7, 2015 -> 04:08 PM) That's exactly what I would do. No matter the team, wait one more year for a better crop to choose from. A few people around here have mentioned this is what the Sox should do instead of going after Shields and I agree. IMO, shields is not worth what hes looking for. Reasons to not go for him: Save that money for Samardzija Or if you resign Samardzija before next offseason, use it to make a competitive offer for someone like Cueto Or see if one of Montas or Danish can get to the show in time.

QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Feb 7, 2015 -> 09:38 AM) baseball has been very very good to Diane V. how much has he made in the last 4 or 5 years? More than enough to go back to Havana and sit on his front porch and eat tacos and get big and fat and live like a king. thanks, douglas I didn't know tacos were a Cuban food. Because they aren't. They're Mexican. QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Feb 7, 2015 -> 10:38 AM) I'm gonna miss Hawk saying HoTfIRe but all I can do is move on. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 7, 2015 -> 10:45 AM) Would you please stop this? Thanks, snookie lover.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 6, 2015 -> 12:28 PM) Sometimes players can't do something. The problem is Taj flat out doesn't even try to pass out of a double team.

I'm hoping the Taj stuff will force the team to unite and get their collective heads out of their asses. If Rose drove and stopped chucking threes, that'd help. If Taj passed once he gets double teamed in the post, that'd help. If Thibs stopped playing Kirk 30 minutes a night, that'd help. If Noah came off the bench at the 5 and anchored the D, that'd help. So many simple things can be done to turn them around, but they don't.

Taj is apparently available in trades. Barring some last minute coaching changes to save the day, that likely ends the Thibs era.

I don't f***ing understand this team.

Best of luck to tank, just wasn't gonna work out.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 10:39 PM) I seen to recall similar statements prior to signing Melky. I've learned to never trust Hahn/KW.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 01:49 PM) Decent, but nothing to get too excited about. Harris would be a great get. He'd really help with the rebounding issues. Snell, Nazr or Bairstow + Cavs pick swap, Kings pick, and another second rounder?

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 06:05 PM) I can see the DMD situation continuing to fuel the Thibs vs FO rift. GarPax are obviously high on Doug after trading two 1st, a 2nd, and absorbing Anthony Randolph just to get him. We clearly have a need for a shooter out there but Thibs is sticking to his old ways by either benching players who couldn't defend or redshirting his rookies. I could imagine Foreman trying to pitch for more playing time for Doug and Thibs is just blowing him off. Supposedly Thibs was the one who really wanted Doug.
