Gene Smith has to be canned after alll this.

The big thing that comes out of this, for me, is how AMAZINGLY arrogant, stupid, or both Ohio State was to not decline a bowl bid this year. I hope they think that 6-6 Gator Bowl trip with an interim coach was worth it next year when they are sitting home after 12 games. Penalty still was on the light side. Once Meyer signed as coach everyone knew the sanctions would be very light or he would not have come!

Angelo will probably give himself a contract extension......................he has too go!

Ilinois really showing how to get it done in Chi-Town again.

Reds paid heavy to get him IMO.

How JR and KW look in the mirror with a minor league system like this is beyond me.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 14, 2011 -> 08:42 AM) Awful fits, and we aren't spending money. Right on both counts.............Sox will not be spending money period!

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 05:01 PM) Rowand to the Marlins on a minor-league deal. You can't make this stuff up! Good OG can have him!

Things are going to get interesting Danks will be gone that's for sure!

Da Bears good at grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory!

Planet Blago is off the air until further notice!

Rebuilding teams do not need a 6 mil aging catchers!

Toledo coach implies Illinois is a dead-end job Toledo's director of track and field and cross country, Kevin Hadsell, took to twitter this morning to issue a personal statement on Tim Beckman's decision to leave Toledo for the head coaching job at Illinois. At 8:23 this morning @Rocketcoach70 said "Beck: Trust me, you are better than Illinois. I almost left for SEC. I stayed & we can be Top-15 next year. Keep rolling! Finish this!" To top it off, he tweeted again six minutes later saying "You couldn't pay me enough $ to take certain jobs in big conferences. Some schools are dead-end jobs in some sports. Think two moves ahead." Toledo, control your track coach. 9:30 Update> He's at it again...he has now tweeted, "To be clear on my tweets. I have the utmost respect for Beck. I think he's a great coach and is better than Illinois."

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) Two words: Khloe Kardashian. Soon as he leaves LA area she may not want him anymore.

Why would anyone want Odom anymore.

Tim Beckman to Illini.............nice to see new AD Mike Thomas paying 2 mil a yr for table scraps. This guy bring no buzz to the program what so ever. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/colle...0,2255312.story

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 09:16 AM) But its OK, we protected f***ing Duente Heath. And not Doyle. Everyone else can b**** about the return for Santos, but to me, THIS was a f***-up. Can someone, anyone, tell me why Duente Heath was worth a 40-man slot, while Terry Doyle was not? This is nonsense in a rebuilding mode and spots open on 40 man available to leave him out there to be picked #2 overall by the Twins shows me mangement just does not get it. Keeping Doyle allows Sox to let Danks or Floyd go and absorb the blow more.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) Economy. Ticket prices. Parking. Prioritizing your family/having enough money to buy Christmas presents, take a family vacation OR buy an Ozzie Plan. Not a difficult choice for all but the most ardent of Sox fans. With the product on the field the last 3 years, and with how things are ending with Buehrle and probably 1/3rd of the roster, what fans would want to support that type of organization? To watch Dunn/Rios/Peavy? REALLY? The White Sox have never priced their packages to the middle class or casual fan since they opened the new ballpark. With the White Sox, it literally is about that Top 10% and corporations, not the stereotypical blue collar South Side diehard fan of the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. If Kenny Williams was gone, you'd have a heckuva lot more optimism about the future. Still, the Blackhawks have shown you can take a franchise from the dumps of despair back to the penthouse fairly quickly. I agree............Sox fans have to be shown a good product on the field, unlike the sheep on the other side of town where 75% go to drink beer, watch girls in bikini tops and has no idea what the score is or who is playing.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 07:51 PM) I wish he'd stay back there and off the TV. I am really tired of him onscreen. Agree 100%

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 04:34 PM) This is sad LOL Date: Team: Pos: Brent Lillibridge - OF - White Sox Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the White Sox player drawing the most trade interest from other teams has been Brent Lillibridge. The Sox were supposed to be one of the most active teams at the Winter Meetings, but the only move they've made to this point has been to trade Sergio Santos. They've put John Danks, Gavin Floyd and Carlos Quentin on the block, but so far nothing has been close to materializing. Lillibridge was a nice utility player for the Sox in 2011 but wouldn't bring back much in a trade. Source: FOXSports.com Dec 7 - 5:25 PM That makes a guy sick! Thornton still here so far gentlemen.

Thanks MB.

Congrats MB and thanks for everything, that being said I am so glad Sox did not pay him anything close to 4/58.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 08:34 PM) How about Rios for Bay? Do it now!

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 07:10 PM) I would love to see Dylan Bundy part of the deal.. The guy is the real deal He can not be traded because he was in 2011 draft class. He in untradable until after 2012 draft, must be 1 year.
