White Sox gonna White Sox. I can't even get mad about this stuff anymore.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 01:49 PM) The one and dones can't shoot. Went to the Heat-Timberwolves exhibition and top 10 pick Winslow, what a bricklayer. Wiggins? Still with much to prove shooting wise. NBA has to turn the D League into something special because these college guys need to be developed better. Baseball: Players need 4-5 years in the minors. NFL: Players need 4 years in college. NBA: We'll take 'em at 19. You still live on a different planet than the rest of us. Seems nice there though.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 10:20 AM) To hell with titles. They're going to be in the playoffs or damn close to the playoffs every year for the next decade. That's all that matters in a sport like baseball... This is beyond silly. Yes, the baseball playoffs are a crap shoot but if you think just making the playoffs comes close to winning a championship for the fans or the players then you're out of your freaking mind. I mean 2008 was just as cool as 05, right?

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 11:03 AM) I'm normally with you, but Towns/Davis are the only ones who are true top ten or close players. Greek freak is a nice player, and porzingis faded big time. He will need to prove year two. But from three years ago when heat broke up we've lost bosh Duncan wade (pretty much) Garnett pierce Rose Howard Bryant and Ginobli with Parker not what he was We've seen Curry Thompson David Irving and KAT take a leap, but others like Wall/Beal have been pretty inconsistent and Wiggins still pretty good but not a top 25 player. That's not a very impressive list from 3 years ago if you consider what they were then.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 11:01 PM) MCW? Rondo? Wade? Way to get with the times, bulls! #whoneeds3pointshooting? off-topic has anybody been lookin' at what Joel Embiid has been doing? Monster, beast or whatever doesn't describe this dude. That size/athleticism/skill-set is no joke. He switched on to John Wall (yes, that john wall) the other night and EASILY kept him in front of him. Please let this man stay healthy. This guy is an all-time level talent. Embiid and D'angelo Russell are going to blow up this year.

Getting anything for Snell is a win but good god this Bulls team might be the worst shooting team ever. It's quite impressive.

Kershaw starting game 2.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 11:59 AM) well now he can be your favorite bench coach since i dont know who Joe Nossek is the only correct answer here.

I honestly think it's a toss up if they'll start him game 2 or 3. Guess we'll find out soon.

Gave Roberts s*** for the way he handled the starters for g4 and 5 but loved how he handled the pen tonight.

Possibly Kershaw for the 9th.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 10:46 AM) Was the '03 team really that good? I didn't follow baseball then. Talent wise they were loaded but apparently something just didn't mesh right. It was frustrating because if they snuck into the playoffs they would have been able to throw a cy young caliber Loaiza, Colon, Buehrle and Garland at people with 2 of the best relievers in baseball at the back end of the pen, not to mention all the big bats. Frustrating team.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 09:21 AM) I'm still shaking my head about what could have been in 2003. I've said it plenty of times on this board but if it wasn't for 2005, that 03 team would still haunt me. They were absolutely loaded.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) Is that you? Or is that guy gone? Not me. And he's not banned or anything, he just doesn't post anymore.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 12:33 PM) And is AustinIllini the same as that Krush poster we used to have? It may have been IlliniKrush or OrangeKrush or something. Ha..no.

Paige and Del Rio will do very well on the Indy's I'm sure. I bet Paige is gone from WWE semi soon but I'm also sure she'll be back in a few years when she matures a little bit. Burned bridges are never burned bridges in WWE.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 04:50 PM) This game could be a blow out either way or a nail-biter. Thanks man.

This sums up my position perfectly: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-dodgers...rt-julio-urias/

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 03:10 PM) the nationals would probably bash urias it's do or die, not saying I don't understand your point but the dodgers should have taken care of business if they wanted to make sure kershaw had full rest. Why would the Nationals bash Urias? And game 5 would be do or die too. You have to put yourself in the best position to win both, not just one. Fully rested Urias and Kershaw > Short rest Kershaw and Hill.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 03:06 PM) You're acting like Kershaw is average in Oct....oooooh Has nothing to do with what he's done in October. What gives you a better chance of winning two games: Kershaw on short rest and Hill on short rest or Urias on full rest and Kershaw on full rest? Easy choice.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 12:59 PM) Kershaw starting on short rest today with the season the line instead of Julio Urias. Really stupid.

Greenberg better make the stupid idiot list next week. Besides that, he can stay off my tv.

Taking any mental aspect out of it, there's just no way I'd want to face the Cueto-Bum combo in game 5.

Staying up late for extra inning playoff baseball was much more fun when it was the White Sox...and I was in college.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 11:09 PM) Also...in fairness: https://twitter.com/royceyoung/status/785692486714875904 And this picture f***in blows as you can't see much but I'll play devils advocate for the f*** of it.
