QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) Did you read the interview with Oz in this edition of espn the magazine? I like Oz more and more after reading it. People that say I'm a sugary Sox homer won't have a problem with me this year cause I despise Kenny and definitely will not be defending Robin as he learns on the job. That logic makes perfect sense in your world

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 04:48 PM) What a joke. Guess we know who Mark wanted to keep in the KW/Oz feud. Yes, he wanted to keep whichever of the 2 would give him a 4 years and 58 million

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 10:09 AM) Looks like Butler met with the Clippers last night, and is meeting again with them today. Hate to say it but after living in Chicago my whole life, and recently being out in the LA area, it's a no brainer for me with that weather out there. I also tend to assume most guys don't really care much about winning these days...... Never understood the weather argument. You're signing a 4 year deal for tens of millions of dollars and you can live wherever you want in the offseason. Who gives a s***, why would anyone on earth want to play for the Clippers?

"a more skilled GM" hahah. So are we in agreement then that he gets 0 credit for 2005 then? That list is dwindling

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:52 PM) Some people were, Marquez was a 1st rd pick of the Yankees. I'm just saying I think we could've gotten more and some of this talk of Molina as a future All-Star is a bit nuts right now. Kid has only pitched a few games in AA. Missing the point. Swisher was a "please take him off our hands trade", the return didn't matter.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:47 PM) Wait, people still believe that stuff? Even though it's been proven he wasn't even working there at the time of the Wells/Sorotka trade? He has a stick up his ass for the Sox. See: anything he's ever written about the sox. The dude still thinks Sale was a bad pick. He's a tool

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:42 PM) From Keith Law: "The White Sox, on the other hand, get an extreme control right-hander without much of a breaking ball who could be a dominant two-pitch reliever, but is probably a year away from seriously contributing in the majors...Molina is a good prospect, probably the best now in a fallow White Sox system, but the return seems a little light for a major-league reliever signed to a very affordable three-year deal." Hooray! Trading a major league reliever...for what looks to be another major league reliever. Let the rebuilding start! hooray for basing your opinion on anything Keith Law has to say.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) You say that now, and then you remember... (a retort in pictures) I believe this was right before AJ hit a homerun later credited to Manny being Manny in the on-deck circle. Or bad just say no Difference was thinking the Sox still had a slight chance that year. The Bears are done with or without Favre, at least it'd be entertaining to watch rather than possibly the worst game of football ever on TV yesterday.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) Which sucks because the window is shutting on the defense. Yep, maybe 1 year left. Gotta hope JA isn't an idiot and fixes the WR corps next year and hope for health everywhere else.

I'd take Favre just for entertainment value as the season is already over, I'd at least enjoy watching the last couple games.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 11:21 AM) I think Favre would be an instant improvement, but I admit, I have no idea if he is even physically capable of playing again, let alone interested. Easy to say that, but: No idea what kind of shape he is in He literally has nobody to throw to Might get protection, might not Offense has to change this late in the season

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 10:56 AM) I disagree...I think a competent quarterback could get them to 10-6 and a playoff spot and then you just hope Cutler can get back for the Minnesota game... I just don't think you're finding a competent QB that's gonna be any better than Hanie at this point. And I honestly thought we'd still end up at 13-3 before these 2 terrible losses, but not anymore, this offense is a disaster without Cutler and a stubborn Martz

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 10:37 AM) Bears need to sign some other QB, Hanie flat out sucks, the O line was miserable and his recievers dropped some balls but Hanie did misfire on a lot of throws that any QB worth his salt would make... Doesn't matter anymore, they're toast without Forte + whatever scrub QB we get. Hope they lose out for the season so we can get a high draft pick JA can screw up for the 100th time.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 2, 2011 -> 01:29 PM) Forte with a slow clap in the corner of the room

Yep, that Knox sure is something. He should have 2 plays in the playbook: Return kicks, Run really fast down the sideline until you need water.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 17, 2011 -> 04:21 PM) The extra wildcard team idea is just a way to make sure Boston doesn't miss another playoff appearance. Now they can get BOS, NY, and TB in every year. Or to make every season work like last years awesome final week or 2. Either way

How could he possibly get any worse? Why trade him.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Oct 29, 2011 -> 09:56 PM) And given the fact we've made to the World Series once in the 30 years that he's own the Sox tells me not much is put back. I don't recall us being All-In in 2005. We won because we got career efforts by a lot of marginal ballplayers. There is a grand total 1 ballplayer from that team that is bound for HOF. And he didn't even participate in the post-season except the parade. What does that have to do with anything? The Cardinals just won the WS with only 1 lowly HOF'er. Had Texas won, they would have had 0 future HOF'ers.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 27, 2011 -> 05:15 PM) Far from an Angelo guy but Hunter was a borderline below average LB. STFU Doesn't matter who said it, it's not a false statement.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 26, 2011 -> 05:43 PM) You cannot put more resources into drafting and stop making stupid player signings? Interesting. Not "resources" in the sense of MLB.

QUOTE (shlammajamma @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 10:20 AM) people on soxtalk are god awful at dealing with trolls... here's a hint: don't respond. -Troll posts something trolly -5 people reply -Troll replies something even more trolly -5 different people reply -Rinse and repeat for almost every thread

I'll reserve judgement until I hear from the spies, thanks.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 09:29 AM) Two things: 2.) Coop being called out as a rat seems to be deserved. Yep cause there's no way Ozzie would have been fired if not for old devious coop

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 12:53 PM) I'm not saying they are great. They are passable if Cutler has time. Offensive line has to come first. Passable with a s*** load of other "ifs" isn't passable. Angelo is a heaping bowl of fail and I look forward to winning 9-10 games, maybe getting a WC spot, and then extending our front office of buffoons another year.
