Who would have thought Bears fans would be trying to get rid of a QB that is going to throw for 4,000 yards and 35 TDs this year.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 02:08 PM) That's a negative, now it wastes the red shirt year that he should have used last year. Bailey should have gone somewhere else. He could have switched positions and gone pretty much anywhere. He was great on Bolingbrook. Coaching against him in HS sucked.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 09:19 AM) I would think Daryl Boston, since he is the baserunning and OF guy, might have some heat on him. Also, coaching 1B, there are things you tell the baserunner, just in case he forgets...check the OFs, maybe something about a pick off move, how many outs there are, don't get tagged out....not to blame Boston, since guys making millions to play the game should know, but it is apparent they need to be reminded. Maybe he is and they still can't figure it out. But I think if anyone is getting demoted or fired, he would be the prime candidate. Good call. I think Boston and McEwing will both be gone. I fully expect McEwing to get the Arizona job. LaRussa loves Joe McEwing.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 08:41 AM) The boston herald is reporting the same. They say Boston is going after Sale and Stanton this offseason. LOL. Bogaerts and Betts is the starting point.

Not calling out anyone in this thread but I've seen too much defense blaming. The Bears have spent $200 million on offense. The defense forced three turnovers. The offense turned the ball over 4 times and the Bears gave up a TD on Special Teams. In no way was the loss on the defense.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 5, 2014 -> 04:39 PM) Did you join that page then search "Bulls"? I just did and there are now 2 guys selling tickets. I'm too lazy to take a screen shot of all the pics (between the 2 guys selling em there are 5 different pics) Yeah I joined the group. I'll try again. Thanks for your help man.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 5, 2014 -> 11:11 PM) Brother Rice is trending upward, baby. Looking like a contender. They are good. I've always hated Brother Rice. I was on the 2003 state championship team at Lockport and those fans at BR were the worst I ever heard in 4 years of HS football. Old Irish cops dropping f bombs and other expletives at opposing HS players. Real classy bunch back then. Whipping their ass was fun.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 5, 2014 -> 05:46 PM) I take it that he was ranked higher because of how much improved and bounced back. Personally, outside of Rodon he has the highest ceiling in the system. I think Adolfo and Anderson may have higher ceilings than Hawkins actually but yes I get your point.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 06:45 AM) I would give him $8M guaranteed for one year and the rest would be incentives. I don't imagine him getting a QO either, which is good for the Sox. He isn't eligible for a QO because he was traded at midseason.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 01:29 PM) Just saw a post on facebook of a guy who has season tickets and is selling em off just 10 min ago. I've never been to a Bulls game but he has the prices listed in a picture and they look pretty reasonable. I can't post the pic here, so you'd have to join this facebook group.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/401015993330956/?fref=nf There's a search tool where you can type in Bulls and I'm sure the post will pop up. If for whatever reason you don't have a facebook, he has his number listed and I can also relay the prices of games you're interested in. I couldn't find the guy. I'd be interested in seeing what games he has for sale and the price if that;s possible. Thanks.

Here's an interesting Kiley McDaniel piece on Cuban INF Yoan Moncado. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/yoan-moncada-game-theory/

Josh Norris and Bill Mitchell had some good stuff on twitter about Micker Adolfo yesterday. I can't go on twitter at work but it's worth posting if someone can find it. He had a homer, double, stolen base, and an impressive walk yesterday.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 08:42 AM) I've heard it's free? That seems kind of crazy but that's what I've been told. And they serve beer!!! It is free but it's supposedly really hard to get tickets. You have to stand and wait in a really long line.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 12:32 AM) Some reporter(s) in STL saying that the Rams to LA is a done deal. Will be announced after the Super Bowl I guess. As a Rams fan, I'm not pleased. I don't want to be have to be someone who roots for an LA team. If true, I think the next move will be Jacksonville moving to St. Louis. Khan would love to be in STL.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 07:50 AM) So I havent been here as long as most of you, but is greg an elaborate troll or just kinda baseball stupid? ..........................

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) I hope that they can try Kyle Long at RT next year. Jordan Mills just isn't cutting it. I'm all for an upgrade to Jordan Mills but I hope it isn't Long. Kyle Long is great at OG and he has short arms for an OT. He's in the perfect spot.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 12:15 PM) I like Surkamp a lot more than I like Snodgress, and I think Webb might make the team too, but it looks like a reasonable foundation. You would hope you can do something in a trade where you don't have to eat his entire contract. I meant to include Daniel Webb. I just don't see Danks in next year's rotation. I know it's tough to just assume that he will get dealt but I think he'll get dealt.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 11:05 AM) The only name where I think they'll aim for something a bit more proven or with a better track record is the left handed power bat. There's just a ton that can go wrong with Pedro Alvarez and only a little that can go right. They may have interest, but I'm guessing he'd be about 5th or 6th on the list and it's just as likely, if not likelier, that someone else would scoop him up before the Sox would. Very understandable. Hes youngish and definitely available though so I put him. What are everyone's thoughts on a staff like this....... 1. Chris Sale 2. Jose Quintana 3. RHP #3 type (Masterson, McCarthy, Volquez, etc) 4. Hector Noesi 5. Chris Bassitt 6. Carlos Rodon (Most likely by June) Bullpen RHP Soria RHP Putnam RHP Guerra RHP Petricka LHP Duke LHP Snodgress

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 09:50 AM) And if JR wants it, it will happen. Honestly, I think we have already gotten the shopping list between bits of what Jerry, Kenny, and Rick have said. We know they want a RHSP. We know they want a LH power hitter. We know they have been working hard on a deal to bring in someone through a 3 way deal, which could still happen. We know they are going to address the pen. Any speculation about the off season should be based on those points. I'll take a stab at it: Justin Masterson, Zach Duke, Joakim Soria, Pedro Alvarez, and Dustin Ackley.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 09:06 AM) Higher draft pick, less money for the draft, less money for the international pool, etc. I felt that way last year and this year. I'm ready for them to compete next year though with a legitimate shot at winning the division in 2016.

Yeah I agree on Gotham. It has been really good so far.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 10:07 AM) This week's opponent has the kind of offense that gives the Bears D problems: an offense with a quarterback. Ehh not really. They don't really have any weapons. And Newton isn't the same player right now. He's really banged up.

So Hockey People: When is this trade going to happen?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 09:17 AM) The difference between him and Rodon is Rodon would have to spend all of next season in the minors and potentially not be called up in 2016. The cubs have cost Bryant one year of free agency already which could be upwards of $20M down the road. Very true. Rodon will most likely be up by June.
