QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 03:10 PM) WTF, I typed Omifail instead of Carimi. I deserve scorn for this one. Well they do look alike...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) Depending on how the Bears' line performs the rest of the year...Omiyale, Lewis, Webb, and Williams is 4 guys who appear to be closing in on starter-quality, all of whom have been drafted in the last 2-3 years. You're not drafting a C in the first round and if you want a first round pick on the line, you have to pick one of those guys who you would be better off with a rookie instead of them. Depth would help the Bears O line right now...but I still kinda like this set of guys. They need some health and to keep working. Their guards look solid, Webb is still a Q but he did dismantle Jared Allen last time out, and Omiyale we haven't seen in a while. Did you not watch that Lions game? This is his 7th season in the league, definitely wasn't drafted by the Bears.

Speaking of the Illini not living up to expectations, Jereme Richmond is back in jail for failing a marijuana test while out on bond.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 10:52 AM) Veteran C Olin Kreutz is walking away from the Saints because "he no longer feels passion and doesn't want to just collect paycheck," according to his agent. Wow, I can't believe how much praise the media is giving him for walking away in the middle of the season. Pro Football Focus had him ranked the 31st best center so far this season, I'm sure that had nothing to do with it either. Way to wear the Captain's "C" Olin.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 01:21 PM) Ya, this thread definitely sucks... Thanks for contributing to the suckiness of this thread.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 01:09 PM) Well then leave my favorite manager out of it. Did LaRussa strip his closer of all confidence by yanking him last night? Did he f*** up going for the bunt against a guy throwing 100. Punto couldn't lay it down and tony basically gave up that at bat. The board has few threads in the offseason and the World Series is pretty compelling when decisions fail. I think bunting was the right call. it was Nick freaking Punto, he wasn't gonna hit a homer. With the bottom of the lineup coming up, it was better to have a guy at 2nd to score on a single, not needing an extra base hit from a scrub. If Pujols and Holliday were due up after, then the bunt is a waste.

All of the grammar mistakes hurt my brain.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:08 PM) He will probably still go to Indiana, but come on, it's college football. Until they sign that dotted line, never say never. It's a dirty world out there. Either way, that's a great get for IU, just to create some buzz for the football program. Like I said....

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 12:20 PM) Who knows, his s*** might work there. All I know is that it was time for a change here. Exactly. Plus, if anyone watched Atlanta at the end of the season, they really couldn't hit much worse.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 10:24 AM) BTW, did anyone see Saad had 4 goals and a helper last night? Kinda sucks that his age restricts him to juniors. Might be better for his development to play tougher players in the AHL.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 10:21 AM) I still think St.Louis gonna win, as long as these games are low scoring and not slugfests=advantage Cards...they should be up 2-0. Wait til they get to that ballpark in Arlington, and the Cards have to throw Lohse & EJax, instead of Garcia & Carp.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 09:36 AM) We called Rose's agent to ask why he would allow an allegedly drunk person to drive him around -- but so far no comment It's better for his friend to get a DUI than for DRose to get one?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 08:49 AM) This of course assumes that there is truly something magical about these 2 which makes them substantially better than any other GM in baseball. Well if you listen to the media, yes, these guys are that good and the victories & cash should be rolling in by 2018. Whether or not that actually happens is another story.

What's the parade route through Miami gonna be for each of Ozzie's two WS crowns down there??

Josh Hamilton is a perfect example of playing hurt doing more harm than help to his team. (I am aware he hit the game-tying sac fly). He just looks miserable at the plate, and the injury affects his fielding and baserunning, if he ever gets on base.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 08:15 AM) I struggle to see how any set of front office people are worth paying this kind of price in both dollars and talent. If you think it will somehow sell tickets...sure...but both the dollars and the talent will set that franchise back. If the front office people live up to the hype and produce a winner 5-7 years from now, wouldn't that future playoff/championship revenue make up for what you spend now??

Kind of ridiculous that October 22nd will be Wisconsin's first game at an opponent's stadium.

I got $100 on ss2k5, don't let me down!!!

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 04:05 PM) What I'm saying is that I don't think that KW is done with this roster. It might not be Bourn or Upton, but I know KW likes those athletic types and he's probably not satisfied with the roster now. Yeah, but Justin Upton is only 24 and may already be a top 20 hitter in baseball. That's like saying KW is not happy with the bullpen, I expect him to get one of those Mariano Rivera types.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 01:41 PM) The one thing that bugs me about the fact that I agree with you is that except for the Super Bowl abortion ad, he's pretty much kept his mouth shut since finishing at Florida. Expect for the one commercial he made: "They said I couldn't play division 1 football" (You were a top 3 QB recruit in the country) "They said I couldn't win the Heisman" (You were a favorite to win it at the start of the season) "They said I couldn't play in the NFL" (you were drafted in the 1st round)

So when does Bud Selig cancel the 2014 regular season? No team is gonna have a chance in hell to compete with the Cubs & Royals, so might as well just have them play for the title right away.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 09:40 PM) How can you not be excited to see a new wave of, in theory, hard working guys who listen? It's exciting to know the disappointing class is now gone and we have something else to look forward to. I don't know how good they'll actually be, but it will be fun to watch them grow. The result may be close to the same, but how we get there will be far less maddening, it appears. That's true, the McCamey/Davis/Tisdale dictatorship is finally over. I guess it's just that I am tempering my expectations so much this season as compared to the past. They may be fun to watch, but I am preparing myself for an NIT berth, nothing more.

This infrared cam is a bit creepy.

One strike against Ron Washington. You carry 3 catchers, yet you pinch hit Esteban German (who?) instead of Torrealba right there?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 05:50 PM) I don't have access to a TV. Let me know how it ends! The Evil Empire goes down!!!! Rejoice!!! Looking at the Diamondbacks roater, man, they literally were nothing but Schilling, Johnson, & Luis Gonzalez's steroids. The rest of lineup was old & washed up, and the names of the other pitchers barely deserve to be mentioned.
