QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 11, 2015 -> 09:34 AM) f*** all of you guys, go back to where you came from. A lesson in green = sarcasm I had intended on posting this exact post, except "I hate all of you" instead of "f*** all of you guys" I hate you Tex

I went tonight and took away two things. 1) Pau Gasol's skill + height will allow him to age very, very well. 2) Snell wasn't scared. He went 1-7 but with little hesitation and his D was pretty good.

Non-Roster Invites
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 10, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) Matt Eddy @MattEddyBA #WhiteSox sign RH power hitters 3B Andy LaRoche and 1B Chris Jacobs to minors deals, re-sign OF Michael Taylor http://bit.ly/1I8uhBI Let us all rejoice at the return of Lord Taylor! But actually, you'd have to imagine he's in contention for 4th OF.

Marshall's advocation for mental health is commendable. I laughed when he was fined by the NFL for wearing neon green socks in honor of mental health awareness.

Please start Taj and bring Niko-Noah off the bench together. Pau and Jo don't mesh while Niko and Noah could be an amazing duo.

If you could play for 3 teams...
QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 9, 2015 -> 12:57 AM) You guys are crazy if you wouldn't play for the cubs. I know we all hate them, but you'd still be living in Chicago surrounded by family and friends who can attend whenever they want even if it's on the wrong side of town. Unless you're from out of town. That would make sense. If I was a player and drafted by the Cubs, I'd bolt as soon as possible.

It helps the Cavs, but not much. It's fun watching that trainwreck. So many of their issues would be solved if Love and Irving just played defense.

Hall of Fame elects Johnson, Martinez, Biggio, Smoltz
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 6, 2015 -> 01:07 PM) Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 3m3 minutes ago Randy Johnson gets in at 97.1 percent. Pedro Martinez at 91.1 percent. John Smoltz at 82.9 percent and Craig Biggio at 82.7 percent. Mike Piazza was at 69.9 percent. He'll be in next year. Jeff Bagwell at 55.7 percent and Tim Raines at 55 percent. Bagwell and Raines need more love.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 09:49 PM) I'll never rip on the bulls front office again. Ever, the majority of this team was drafted by them. You cant blame them for free agents spurning them. But everyone should complain about Tony Snell and Marquis Teague. Those are more indicative of their drafting ability than Butler, Gibson, Mirotic, Noah and Rose.

Ben Zobrist
Something like Micah, Hawkins and Beck is likely what the Sox highest offer would be. My highest offer would be Micah, Beck, Webb and Trayce. It's just something where it doesn't make sense for the Sox to unload any of Rodon, Anderson, Montas, Danish or Adams.

Another "Ozzie wants to get back into baseball" article
QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Dec 31, 2014 -> 07:06 AM) who's the better manager, Ozzie or Robin? thanks, douglas Ozzie from '04-'06 easily trumps Robin's first 3 years. Ozzie after that was not good, aside from 2008.

2014-2015 NBA thread
QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 07:21 AM) need some help in understanding some rule in the nba. i thought when a player gets assigned / cut and plays in the "D" league, he becomes a FA. so when Noah Vonleh, 9 pick last yr 1rd, went to the D league, is he a FA? totally unrelated, the signing of the vet for vet extension contracts, should the Bull continue to extend Rose contract further? i know the Bulls should offer Joakim Noah. It's kind of like the minor leagues in a way. If a player is sent down from an NBA franchise, their current contract is still in place. It's just that the D-League is way less important than the MiLB, so most of their rosters are filled with free agents and maybe one or two draft picks at best.

Should #13 be put back in circulation?
It's going to be retired with #14. They left two spots on the wall of retired numbers.
