QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 11:09 PM) He probably had more than you think on the trading block. I don't buy that at all We had plenty of pieces that could have been moved had Kenny wanted to throw in the towel

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 06:02 PM) Exactly. Because of Twitter, everyone thinks that Domonic Brown and Brandon Beachy should be White Sox now, but no one knows exactly what KW was offered for those two and what they actually could have received. I don't even think there is any proof KW made those guys available at all.. If I had to guess, KW thought we still had a chance and had no intentions of trading any of those guys by the deadline.. of course we respond by most likely losing 6 games in a row and ending any glimmer of hope.. And poor Adam Dunn, there is about a ZERO percent chance he can end the year hitting over .200

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 10:47 PM) Why do people ignore that Paul Konerko, at age 35, is above his career norms in every offensive category right now? Why do people ignore that Phil Humber is pitching way over the expectations anybody had for him? What about the good fortune (based on his career history) that Quentin has stayed healthy? Or Mark Buehrle having an ERA 3/5 of a run lower than his career norm even though he's into his 30's and had an ERA over a run higher last year than this year? I get that you want to defend Ozzie, but you can't just point out the underachievers and ignore the overachievers. I can pretty much point out whatever I want, I don't really care how you feel about Ozzie.. its my opinion of him, it doesn't matter if Konerko was hitting .600 right now with a million home runs I like Ozzie..

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) He enjoys the wave and Ozzie Guillen. Need I say more? I do not enjoy the wave, I just hate when people try to s*** all over things other people enjoy doing.. regardless of how idiotic it is.. And as far as Ozzie Guillen goes if Dunn, Rios, and Peavy were all performing close to their norms or not getting injured wed be in first place by a good margin and no one would be talking about Ozzie being a terrible manager.. I know Ozzie isn't one of the best managers in the league, but I think hes a good fit for our team.. Like I said, if people were performing this isn't even that big of an issue.. Kw has continually made bad move after bad move.. what the hell did he do this year? We didn't commit to rebuilding, we didn't commit to going for it.. He traded one of our better pitchers for NOTHING.. If it takes both of them to go for KW to go, so be it.. but nothing is going to change at all with a new manager here and KW still as the GM.. so I say KW is worse

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 11:26 AM) First you're getting married and now this? I guess I am failing to see what most of you are talking about

KW is worse. I have no problem with Ozzie, hes a good manager. I honestly think hes doing some of this s*** on purpose so he can go to Florida and get away from the clueless GM he is stuck with here.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 11:46 AM) I dont know how all of them would apply. Im sure there is someone who owns the rights to that song that is being paid. It really is crazy how Punk is pretty much getting what he wants right now Which should probably be good news if he is facing Cena at Summerslam I also don't see the problem with him wrestling at house shows, hes gotta stay sharp somehow and for the most part the house shows are treated as they didn't really happen in the big picture.. people want to see Punk right now

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:12 AM) They have to pay royalties, sure, but all of those songs are on those WWE themesong CDs, so the WWE is making money off of it as well. Cult of Personality is not, so Vince has to pay royalties on something that he isnt going to make money back with What about Pomp and Circumstance?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:52 AM) well we didn't win the Boston series so maybe the Yankees? wishful thinking

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 09:50 AM) Oh my God yes. Sweet no wave anymore.. now all they need are enforcers at every end of the seats to make sure no one is allowed to get up for any reason until the game has completed.. Some of you guys are jokes

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 01:00 AM) I love the way Orsillo and Remy describe Rios' play in the field: sloppy x2, relaxed, laidback, taking his time, casual, granting the run. Good stuff. It's probably silly but I find it shocking how little Rios cares about his baseball legacy: he's burned bridges in 2 cities now, those fans will remember him forever and his lasting impression will be one of indolence and apathy. I can't imagine it turning around, I just don't see it in him, some way or another he'll be purged from the roster sometime relatively soon but he'll live on in Sox lore as one of our all-time greatest washouts. Or maybe I'm just upset. Nope, everything you said was spot on.

QUOTE (SouthSidePride05 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 09:34 AM) If I was in charge of pricing, I would say $12 for upper box and $7 for upper reserve. No fanfare or media attention on the change, just let it spread by word of mouth. And if the media approached me and asked why the huge decrease in pricing, I'd nonchalantly say we looked around at other ballpark's pricing and saw what they were charging for their least expensive seats. If tix were $7, I'd go all the time. The cheapest ticket here in Houston is $7 and its awesome because you can buy that and go sit in the expensive seats because no one is there!

QUOTE (The '05 Sound @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 02:18 AM) I was debating what difficulty to start mine on cus it just seems like All-American is sometimes too easy but if you went 7-5 there must be some challenges, even though it was Tulane. When I was reading into it the coaching carousel thing is something that really peaked my interest because I am one of those guys that gets this game and gets really into the out of game stuff, I love it (same way in NHL too) I wish more people on here played ncaa on here on 360, we could get an online dynasty going. Have you started your Road to Glory or whatever they are calling it, what positions you choose with that? Yes, All American definitely seems a little tougher than previous years.. I have been hearing Heisman is damn near impossible.. Tulane is a 1 Star school at 69 overall for their roster, so I don't know if I will be slaughtering people once I get some players but the first year was pretty challenging.. Road to Glory is SO MUCH better than it used to be.. the practices mean something, and you actually work to move up the depth chart.. you get XP for games/packages and you use that XP to buy upgrades for your guy.. like you can buy single game boosts that raise your ratings in certain areas for just that game, or you can buy the season ones that are permanent.. obviously, they cost more

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 11:57 PM) I'd be down, as Missouri, assuming we can't use TeamBuilder teams. Ugh, I picked Missouri in my Online Big 12 Dynasty and they are awful James Franklin cant throw to save his life on there

QUOTE (The '05 Sound @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 12:02 AM) Anyone buy/been playing NCAA? Mine is coming tomorrow for 360 Me, the game is a great improvement on the series I started a Tulane dynasty on All-American, played every game, and I finished the season 7-5 and have a bowl game against Fresno State The coaching contracts are great too, I created my coach with the intention of eventually getting to my Alma Mater UCLA as head coach and turning them into a dynasty.. Working your way up to jobs was a very nice add

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 01:46 PM) Would anyone be potentially interested in splitting an OOTP 12 licsense Just get OOTP 11 Its $19.99 and it already comes with the 2010 rosters.. I think the only difference is 12 comes with the 2011 rosters, but 11 is a great game.. it blows OOTP 6.5 out of the water

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:12 PM) Wonder if the E is paying to keep that sOng as Punk's new theme. It is his new theme.. I saw an article on Wrestlezone that said Vince broke policy by allowing someone to use a song that they had to pay royalties for.. Which is odd to me as Edge was using Metalingus by Alter Bridge, Mysterios is by POD I believe, Rev Theory does Ortons, CM Punk was using Killswitch Engage, HHH with Motorhead Do they not have to pay royalties for those? Seemed weird to me as people have had actual songs for a while now..

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 01:28 AM) Who the f*** gets married on a Friday? I call BS Im getting married on a friday

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 01:11 AM) If you listened to the BS report with Punk, Punk confirmed this is a permanent change. He also added which I thought was weird that he didn't decide to return to the WWE until after MITB. Which means they gave him the belt without knowing if he would come back. i KNEW it! I really had the feeling they were worried about a massive riot had he not won, s*** some of you where there it could have been ugly..

Looking like Miami will acquire Reggie Bush and Kyle Orton tomorrow.. They have already agreed to a trade for Bush, he just has to sign off on it and rework a contract.. I don't see why he would want to stay in NO And from what I am seeing, its going to be a 3rd and maybe Phillip Merling going to Denver for Kyle Orton.. Im pretty excited

I don't believe this at all, however... If you have no options for CF (and people are intrigued by Rios potential regardless of how he has been doing) why not get Rios, Thornton, and maybe Escobar with a big chunk of Rios salary getting picked up? They gotta go for this division now, rolling the dice on Rios may not be all that bad an option.. hell at least they wouldn't be stuck with the contract as we would more than likely paying a LOT of it.. plus they would get Thornton as well I see how it could make sense, but unfortunately I don't see us escaping Rios until his contract is ovah

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 03:42 PM) This move likely came from upstairs. The powers-that-be are obviously more interested in shedding payroll than competing in the foreseeable future. I imagine that a lot more guys are going to be dealt over the next 12 months. a lot more guys better be dealt in the next 2 days If this is the only bulls*** move we get, f*** these guys

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 12:10 PM) Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Source: Trever Miller is expected to be traded to the White Sox, from Toronto. Oh thank god, for a second here I thought we were getting the short end of the stick............

f*** Man, this is SO frustrating

This sucks.. I hope they all get fired
