Jose Abreu

Bengals' fans and certain defensive players are absolutely classless. It was hard to choose between rooting for these guys or a rapist QB. I ended up choosing neither.

Not a fun game.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 9, 2016 -> 06:02 PM) I came on here to ask if anyone else thought the officiating was terrible. The Bulls didn't do themselves any favors by sleepwalking through the first quarter and a half though. We would've lost anyway, but the refs were absolutely brutal. *waits for someone to point out the free throw differential so I can refute*

Rose has been fouled 6 times and has gotten 2 calls. Regardless, kudos to the Bulls for making this an actually entertaining game despite the score.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 9, 2016 -> 02:02 AM) Not buying Snoke as Vader. Snoke as Plagueis is the best theory about him so far. By Plagueis, you must mean Jar Jar (half sarcasm)

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 12:04 PM) They are saying Snoke is Darth Vader based on similarities in their faces : http://moviepilot.com/posts/3721240 That would make Vader a complete idiot though right? Building another giant death star that was destroyed and all... Except Vader turned good again at the end of Return of the Jedi...

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 9, 2016 -> 10:42 AM) Gase gone. Not too happy about this. It was inevitable, though

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 11:17 PM) Yeah I'm coming around to the idea of them being a threat. Watch them shock everyone and sign Davis. All the homeruns. Tulowitzki, Travis, Colabello, Encarnacion, Bautista, Donaldson, Martin, Davis. All respectable power hitters. 250 home runs? I mean, they hit 232 last year, so maybe even more. That would be such a powerful team.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 11:00 PM) Yeah, there are reportsb saying they traded revere because he was a luxury with their surplus of OFs. Could be posturing. Seriously, it's not THAT farfetched for them to be in on one of these outfielders.

Keith/Seabrook/Hjalmarsson/Gustafsson/Van Riemsdyk is a pretty sick top-five. We can live with Scuderi/Rozsival whomever as #6.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 10:35 PM) With all the movement this week on the OF front I wouldn't be surprised if teams had an idea where some of the big names may be signing and that's why you are starting to see teams move on to other players. I wouldn't be suprised to hear something concrete on YO this weekend or early next week. It seems like the market has played into our hands now is the time RH has to close. That is probably what's happening. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, though.

Lots of chances for us so far

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 11:52 AM) The Giants are MLB's version of the New England Patriots. All time great coach and GM duo (In NE they happen to be the same person). A couple great players (Bumgarner/Posey, Brady/Gronk) and a supporting cast stocked with good players. Annual contender. Yes, just minus all the cheating

Also, where are people getting the idea that we may get both Cespedes and Gonzalez?

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 05:09 PM) 2. A declining Reyes is still leagues a head of the trash put out by most teams at SS. His salary is a bit high, not sure how to work with that. Domestic violence issue is a non-factor here. We are going for it all. I strongly disagree.

The three year thing is still really frustrating (since we now know it is not posturing), as is (to me) our interest in Gonzalez.

Nobody wants Adam LaRoche. Nobody wants Jose Reyes.

Sam Smith ‏@SamSmithHoops This is how blatant the lack of calls has been on Rose; Rose even got a technical for complaining. And he gets about 1 every three years

Cody Westerlund ‏@CodyWesterlund Regarding his technical tonight, Derrick Rose says he's never gotten to the line in his career as much as he deserves to.

After watching highlights from last night, I'm even more annoyed at Rose not getting calls. He gets HACKED half of the time he goes to the rim, and it's only called 20% of the time.

NickyMitch93's alter ego thinks that Cespedes winning a gold glove makes him a great defensive outfielder.
