QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 05:01 PM) still waiting on 2 great teams that Saints beat on the road this season Atlanta & Tennessee, two winning teams

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 03:32 PM) They need the extra $7 million for the coming Vlad Guerrero and Miguel Tejada acquisitions. Vladapalooza!!!!!!

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 03:04 PM) I agree with you. If our D & special teams doesn't play lights out. We will lose And the red zone offense. All those David Akers FGs won't beat Brees & co.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 03:00 PM) I seem to remember the Vikings having a great offense and got beat by the Falcons in the playoffs in 98. LOL, the Falcons were the 4th highest scoring team that year and were the 4th best in scoring defense.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) 8 NFL titles Very true, although that was a different era with way less teams and no free agency. I'm just saying that when it comes to spending money, the current regime is very similar to old Mr. Halas.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) Gore will have a huge game against the Saints D. The Saints red zone D sucks and don't the 49ers have the worst red zone O in the league?

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 02:44 PM) The 49ers would not have dropped those possible interceptions. Also, the Saints got a lot help from the refs on that forced fumble. The Lions should have been up by 2 TD's and its all different ballgame than And I take it Crabtree would have went off for 200+ yards receiving just like Calvin Johnson did, right?

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 02:18 PM) Papa Bear Halas is spinning in his grave the way his offspring have run his own proud organization. Are you sure about that? From the accounts I have read, he was as cheap as they get.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 01:48 PM) I was very patient with the 49ers... We might not win it all this season but we are on the right path for many seasons to come. As far as the Sox goes. I will be attending around 60 games if we win 70 games or 100. Sure I willbe very frustated at times for many reasons about the Sox but if we are on the right path to a championship, I will be patient. Good for you. Unfortunately for management, the majority of White Sox fans aren't like that.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 01:36 PM) Last year Rays team did very well after losing Crawford, the whole bullpen and several other key pieces from the season before. That's the organzation I want KW to follow.. They're great at scouting and knowing when to let go of key players, such as Crawford, Soriano, and Pena to name a few. LOL, I think every organization would like to scout like the Rays. And it's not that they know when to let go of key players, they simply can't afford them because their market is so s***ty, so the decision is made for them.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 12:47 PM) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Raiders have fired coach Hue Jackson. Reggie Mckenzie is not messing around. It's a good thing they let Jackson trade away 1st round draft picks to obtain a bad QB that couldn't lead them to the playoffs in a garbage division.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 11:55 AM) If Beckham fails again this season. He will be worthless on the trade market. We could have gotten Gonzalez last year for him and not have Dunn on the Sox. By not making that trade cost us BIG TIME The Sox weren't gonna pay Gonzalez what the Red Sox did, so it would have been a one year rental.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 11:56 AM) The BCS will do it in a way that they profit. "Right" has nothing to do with it Yup. The people that run the bowl games make so much money for doing nothing, they aren't gonna let that change.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 11:20 AM) then we won't be any better off than where we stand today. At least we have a direction.. I can't stand Billy Beane but he had the right approach for his team this year I can understand that completely. Just don't expect those prospects to guarantee a postseason berth anytime soon. It doesn't always happen that easily.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 11:13 AM) lets just say we trade PK, Floyd, Alexei for great prospects and in 2 years the Sox are deep into the post season, don't you think the fans will come back that year and for many years to come following a good young Sox team. PK won't bring anything to the table, if we aren't going to go for it all. He will be gone by the time Sox will be great again How do you know the Sox will be in the postseason in 2 years? There is absolutely no guarantee of that. The propsects could not pan out or get injured then what?

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 10:50 AM) that's why I said eat some of AJ salary What teams would even give up a good prospect for AJ right now? Even if you ate some of his salary. This has been broken down team-by-team, and we couldn't find a good fit anyway.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 10:36 AM) Ricketts is also willing to eat Soriano contract. To answer your question would try to trade Thornton and AJ Really? I must have missed the quote where he said he would eat $56 million. I doubt it. I think Thornton is on the trade block. I don't think there is much of a market for AJ.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 10:28 AM) it's time for JR to eat some salary like Ricketts is doing on the north side. He has eaten $15 million dollars. Whose contract could you get rid of on the Sox for $15 million?

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 10:26 AM) You can't compare the past prospects with this upcoming group. Sorry, I forgot they already clinched in a spot in the 2015 World Series vs. the Fighting Theos. I think comparing them to past prospects is fair until they show any major league success, which expect for a few, they haven't. I'll give Rays prospects the benefit of the doubt, not the Royals.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 10:13 AM) I would take KC young talent in a heartbeat. I'm sure KC fans would take a team that doesn't lose 90 games every year. That young talent still hasn't won in the majors, yet we keep hearing about how awesome they are.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 10:05 AM) KC is on the rise.. Of course, that vaunted KC minor league system that's gonna take the majors by storm in 2010. Oh wait, maybe 2011. OK, how about 2012 then? Hosmer & Moustakas aren't gonna win you many games with those pitchers.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 10:02 AM) If you are happy about the Sox being the worst team in the AL Central ( as we stand right now) that's on you. I am hoping that KW finally brings people into this organzation on both the major league and minor league level. That's debateable anyway. Take a look at KC & Minny again, they suck too.

If gambling were legal, I'd say OSU -9 seems like a pretty solid bet

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 09:09 AM) IMO DeAza is not a starting OF.. if DeAza is the starting CF than we need to sign a 4th OF. DeAza/Rios/Viciedo/Lillibridge sounds fine to me, all things considered

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 08:58 AM) I'm hoping that with a Univ of Illinois guy buying the team he'll bring them to Chicago. I don't know that I'll be a fan (right away), but I sure as hell would like the Bears to be a little nervous and have to work for a better product. He has zero connection to the Chicago area.
