QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 11:17 AM) You had me...and you lost me. I'm nauseous. Hand to God: I'm actually nauseous. Overreact much?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) You may want Bmac in the rotation, but I'm not sure KW does. And he's all that matters. KW knows we got fairly lucky on the injury front last year and I think he loves the idea of having an extra arm in the pen ready to step in if someone has to go on the DL. Hence we're missing a pitcher in our bullpen, and Hermy is a question mark.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) Look at our pitching staff and say that again with a straight face. We've always know Kenny was aggresive, now after winning the WS he has a few more dollars to play with. None of this should come as any surprise. I'm talking the Yankees of the 90s.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 10:41 AM) How many times did you edit the first post to make it "right"? Kap's my hero.

1 more.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) BTW, has anyone stopped to think this trade doesn't make sense. All indications are that KW will ship out Garland or Contreras if he feels they won't sign an extension. Thus, it would make a lot more sense that Garland will get traded to a team. I hope you're right. I dont want to lose BMac. I can accept losing one of those two more. However, I'd rather lose Garland.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 10:13 AM) I LOVE Brandon McCarthy and am pissed the Sox traded Chris Young, but McCarthy and Uribe for Tejada is a no-brainer. I mean, not even a second of thought on that one. Of course, I would love it even more if the Sox shipped Vazquez and Uribe to Baltimore for Tejada. Ha I'd love that deal.

Great and Terrible are extremes IMO. I don't like this trade, initially, but I don't want to say terrible.

We're becoming the Yankees...

I'm not going to read this thread, but I don't like this trade.

What the f*** Kenny, stop making us the Yankees. It's not going to work.

Love the Sox stocking. Hope to continue to hearing good news Steff.

Congrats Sleepy. Wake tried to make it interesting at the end, but DePaul kept their composure and did what they had to do to win the game. Solid win, and this ends Wake's 21 game winning streak at home.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 10:55 PM) I'd rather trade Garland for Vazquez + cash and keep Chris Young, if that's a possibility. We know.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) DePaul 44 - 40 Wake Forest at the half. Still not getting my hopes up, but minus the turnovers and interior D, they're looking good. Nice, go DePaul. There are 3 other games involving top 25 teams. #3 Nova beat Penn 62-55. #4 Louisville beat Chicago St. 78-54. And #21 Nevada is just getting under way against Seattle Pacific.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) So does this deal signalize no Frank to Oakland? If Swisher is moving to first base then I assume Dan Johnson will Dh meaning no room for Frank.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) From this casual observer. There appears to be far more people in attendence when it's held in Chicago. It looked pretty desolate last time it was in Indy Yeah, I'd obviously prefer it to be in Indy, but I'll be surprised for it to be there.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) Let's hope a little Hilton Magic travels south to Des Moines. Greasy, you still working on your end of the Indiana - ISU home and home? Haha, I've had these things called finals.

Half way done, my first two finals should be my toughest.

Yeah, as it looks right now, tOSU is the best shooting team in the B10.

This trade is too much IMO. I don't see this making us better. I'm starting to think that if we do too much more this offseason, we're just making ourselves worse. It kind of reminds me of the Yankees after they won their WS's. Change is necessary, but not this much.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 10:34 AM) Personally I'm not a Vazquez fan. He may have good stuff but he's incredibly over-rated and is a whiner. I hate this proposed trade. Sox better be getting some cash or a good prospect or something else. Garland for Vazquez straight up is a loser of a deal (especially if they don't give us the cash the Yanks gave them and they don't have to either). Same, I'm really not excited over this at all. Hopefully this is all just major speculation, or there's more to it.

The only top 25 action in CBB involved Big 10 teams. #24 Wiscy beat NC Wilmington 54-51. #25 tOSU beat Norfolk State 92-59.
