QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 02:14 AM) Ummm, Boras doesnt have the power between the two lol.... if A-Rod wants to take a pay cut than he is going to Then why does A-Rod give Boras a percentage of the deal if he doesn't have power? Why doesn't he just negotiate himself and keep those millions he's "giving" to Boras. A-Rod's the player, and Boras is in charge of the player, that's why A-Rod pays him.

all of the above

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 05:28 AM) From the trib: They seem to believe the Crede for Damon deal will go down, but assume he will play CF, which I disagree with. They also believe we'll toss Garland in the mix because of the contract (no mention of the Yanks picking up cash) and receive a couple prospects in return. Needless to say, the trib may have a partial story here, but certainly have this going in the Yanks favor if they really believe this is how its going down. Unless those prospects include Ian Kennedy and Wilson Betemit, wtf.

I don't care of Ozzie has to play shortstop himself... I want Uribe gone and gone for good.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 08:17 AM) Bruce Levine stated that the SS trade will be made by Wednesday in order to make a decision on Uirbe. We also have been lead to believe that the Josh Fields position will be settled........could the SS come via a trade for Fields or Crede (ie Crede/Furcal or Fields/Hu)? Levine also said that there is a market for Jason Marquis and the cubs and Sox were going after Crawford. He also said Crawford is 30. I hate Bruce Levine he is a dope. Marquis has essentially been left off the playoff roster two consecutive years. I don't know why Bruce Levine gets any credibility. If you say enough s***, eventually something will be right. The difference between 30 and 26 is a huge one, but it doesn't matter because I won't for a second believe the Sox would ever land Carl Crawford. If we have our SS by tomorrow I will be rather surprised.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Nov 5, 2007 -> 03:40 PM) Did anybody actually see the press conference? I thought I read that there was some mention of lifting the blackouts on NHL Center Ice to let fans with CI to see home games with the other team's feed. That'd be great to get that done as well... Unfortunately, this wasn't brought up.

QUOTE(rockren @ Nov 5, 2007 -> 12:02 PM) However, Fields bat ranks above any of their prospects and that Guzman will be a SS rather than a 3Bagger IMO. Duuuude. Evan Longoria >>>>>>>>>>>>> Josh Fields EDIT: I see that's already been pointed out. As for Crawford. Send them Danks and Gio and rock and roll.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 5, 2007 -> 10:07 AM) Posted two hours and ten minutes ago... http://www.talkbulls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2144 But then again, that would just be changing the subject to avoid what Scott Skiles has been talking about for a while now. Thomas needs to bring his game every night. If he would wake up to the fact that he just can't "out athlete" NBA guys every night, he has the potential to be a Shawn Marion type player. minus the 3's.

QUOTE(rockren @ Nov 3, 2007 -> 10:25 AM) Tyrus is the most talented player we have. Tyrus hit four or five 17 foot jumpers last night. If he continues to do that, he'll average 15 pts/game for the year. His biggest problem is getting in early foul trouble, which significantly cuts into his PT. Another problem is how Skiles is all over Noc late in the game and Noc always plays the 4 in the 4th quarter. If Ty can get 35-40 minutes a night consistently, the sky is the limit ALREADY this season for him. Tyrus followed up his amazing effort with a 2 point, 6 rebound effort... and thus the thread lives on... where you at after that performance Dick Allen? Oh yeah, not showing up, because it takes actual balls to make a statement when you aren't just regurgitating facts and bulls*** that you feel is relevant.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Nov 4, 2007 -> 12:46 PM) You pushed it three posts in a row... link link link. If I -- or anyone, really -- wanted to go there, a simple scroll over "TalkChicagoSports" lets me know about the family of boards. Whatever, it's only slightly bothersome. shut up. you're the resident moron of the board, we get it. if you considered yourself a hawks fan, you'd check out talkbhawks.com... since you obviously aren't, just ignore it. seriously.

I've had a conversation with my buddy for many years (before he was a Bull) that I could score a single poitn in a game of 1-on-1 with Ben Wallce to 21. I just know I could!

QUOTE(Shadows @ Nov 2, 2007 -> 10:01 PM) I am 100% sure that me and four of my friends could beat the best WNBA team, and I will even go out and say that it wouldnt even be close.. You'd get smoked.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Nov 3, 2007 -> 08:15 AM) 21 points, 12 rebounds,3 blocks, 42 minutes. Not bad for a lazy, unfocused, out of shape joke. Wow, I'm shocked by this. Let's just crown his ass. haha. Seriously, his next 15 effort will probably be in December, but good point, he's erased everything from the past.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 2, 2007 -> 10:23 PM) Read "Game of Shadows". It's eye opening. That requires said person to actually have a thought and be able to get through a book that doesn't have colorful pictures in it.

This is freaking hilarious.

I want Furcal. I'll end up with Uribe or Eckstein.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Nov 2, 2007 -> 11:51 AM) No surprise here...Kane is rookie of the month. http://blackhawks.nhl.com/team/app/?servic...rticleid=342010 Best month I've ever seen out of a Blackhawks rook... hell, Toews just had the 2nd best too.

Last night's episode was the best of the season, imo. Oscar: "Aside from having sex with men, the Finer Things Club is the gayest thing I do." hahahahaha

I REALLY want Rafael Furcal on the Sox next year... it seems like an obvious match and I hope something comes of it. A career .350 OBP and a return to a higher OPS (i dont think his 2007 will become the norm) would make Furcal a great leadoff option for our hapless Sox.

Melrose (I know its Barry Melrose) stated last night that Patrick Kane just might wind up being the best American born player ever (then offered Mike Modano as the guy who currently holds the title). He then said that there was so much hype about Crosby that this was expected, but that Kane is easily going to be as good as Crosby if not better. Talk about a ringing endorsement.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 1, 2007 -> 04:02 PM) I agree, he is a good player, and what a great fit he would be on the bulls. As far as big men in the east though, my love is squarely for Dwight Howard. What's so great about a guy who looks like an action figure, blocks 7 shots in one game, and can't be stopped down low? Dwight of course is the freaking man... he's the freaking man.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 1, 2007 -> 03:54 PM) nah, you never did have a nose for being an effective GM.......... Shouldn't that be in green!? I have a lot of love for Al Jefferson, obviously... he is awesome.

I'd trade anyone on the Bulls for Jefferson and that includes Deng... that should say something.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 1, 2007 -> 03:49 PM) Myself and many others dont see him being a superstar. He may very well be a good player, maybe even avg 20-10, but hes no replacement for KG. but he is 10 years younger than KG and comes with a much lower contract. The T-Wolves were going nowhere and getting him was a huge score for a player like KG.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 1, 2007 -> 03:47 PM) Hes a legit CF'er with a canon arm, who is only 23 years old and has shown that he can get on base (.340 career OBP) hit doubles and would be affordable. We have a young player (Fields) who can step in a 3B and Crede's back and .305 OBP hurts our offense. His BEST season he only had a .323 OBP. I couldn't agree more with this statement. I'm a huge Melky Cabrera fan.
