QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 05:42 PM) I cant say I recall a single person in the entire world claiming there was a qb controversy at any point between Hanie and Cutler I knew about 10 people who said it, someone on ESPN suggested it, and the Score and ESPN 1000 kept mocking callers who said it. This was right after the NFC Championship.

Remember the Hanie-Cutler "QB controversy"? f*** that and everyone who suggested it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 09:59 AM) What in the bluef*** is a "pure hitter"? Wasn't Gordon Beckham a "pure hitter"? He sure looked like one coming up. I think Viciedo is a "pure hitter" too. I think of Tony Gwynn as a "pure hitter." I think of Wade Boggs as a "pure hitter." Wasn't Sean Burroughs a pure hitter too? So, uh, stats be damned, dude's a "pure hitter", let's get rid of the other face of the franchise for him and f*** s*** up? Sorry, I need atleast Bailey coming back before I'd even consider any type of swap of Danks and Alonso. Guys with that type of minor league record really, really, really don't impress me. Here's James Loney and Brett Wallace's career AAA numbers as well as their K% Loney - .341/.394/.482/.877, 12.3% Wallace - .306/.367/.484/.851, 19.4% Here's Yonder Alonso .296/.364/.478/.842, 15.9% So, at best, he is in between them (because Wallace did that with 4 different organizations), and at worst (and probably more realistically), he is worse than those two. And isn't James Loney a "pure hitter" too? --- So what is a pure hitter again? I'd do Bailey and Alonso for Danks in a heartbeat.

f*** KC and Dallas

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 12:08 PM) Iowa State has nothing to do with the way that these schools handled leaving. To that end, Iowa State does more than OK considering its resources. Missouri is the school that has the proud tradition of never winning conference championships in anything. This is me, being a smartass to refute your point.

I want Kirk and BG to be stupidly amnestied. Have a back court of Rose and Hinrich at point and BG and Brewer at SG. Korver backs up Deng. Butler(s) and Bogans are reserves.

OH MY f***ING GOD. I AM HAPPY. Also, Kalapse, I love you as your post is what alerted me to just...look up at the TV and SportsCenter.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 25, 2011 -> 11:37 PM) You lose to Iowa St. you don't deserve to play for the national championship, the end. You lose by 20 at home and don't run the table in the garbage ACC you don't deserve to play for the national championship, the end. You aren't even remotely competitive and get house by Oregon at home you don't deserve to play for the national championship, the end. So Houston?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 24, 2011 -> 11:51 PM) Reds are looking to deal Alonzo:... Reds get: Danks Thornton Sox get: Alonzo Daniel Renken (SP) -- Reds Shopping Yonder Alonso For Pitching By Mark Polishuk [November 24 at 11:31pm CST] The Reds are offering Yonder Alonso as trade bait in their search for a closer or a No. 2 starter, reports Yahoo Sports' Tim Brown. Reds GM Walt Jocketty has spoken to several teams --- including the A's, Blue Jays, Indians and Rays --- about Alonso, though we heard earlier this week that the Reds thought Alonso was too much to give up for Oakland closer Andrew Bailey. Alonso is regarded as Cincinnati's top hitting prospect, if one without a Major League position since Joey Votto is cemented at first base. The 24-year-old has an OPS of .837 in four minor league seasons and hit .330/.398/.545 in 98 plate appearances with the Reds last year. If the Reds were willing to move him, you would think Alonso would be too much to deal for any closer, not just Bailey. Jocketty has said his club's top priority is finding a starting pitcher this offseason, so while the Jays and Indians have some good young arms, they wouldn't be willing to deal a top-of-the-rotation caliber of starter for which the Reds are looking. The Jays and Tribe also have other options at first base, though Adam Lind, Edwin Encarnacion and Matt LaPorta wouldn't be major obstacles if Toronto or Cleveland had a legitimate shot at Alonso. The A's and Reds might not be a match on Bailey, but Jocketty might deem possibly-available pitchers like Gio Gonzalez or Trevor Cahill worthy of moving Alonso. The most logical match would appear to be Tampa Bay, who has a big hole at first base, lots of pitching and a need for a controllable young talent like Alonso. The Rays could offer Wade Davis or Jeff Niemann, though the Reds are more likely looking for a pitcher like James Shields. (Obviously David Price and Jeremy Hellickson are staying put.) If he's blocked by Votto, he's still blocked by Paulie. Unless we can get him to be a good LF.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 25, 2011 -> 12:10 AM) Why in the world would I want anything good to happen to A&M? Or Mizzou or Nebraska? Because Heads22, we love you. Plus, its Texas's fault everything fell apart.

The Lions are cowardly bastards. As for the Packers...the only team I think could have beaten them was the Bears with Cutler. Now I'm not sure.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 24, 2011 -> 02:57 PM) God damn i'm drunk. This was expected, don't worry.

f*** Suh.

f***ing Lions. Lions players start fights. Then the other players get thrown out.

You all have a great day. Milk being...cordial? But seriously, giving thanks for my online friends, you guys are the best forum community ever

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 05:57 PM) No. I want to see more of him for sure. QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 07:47 PM) Apparently the only games I actually got to Stewart pitch were the games he didn't suck (including the one where he was carrying the no-no), cause I am really intrigued by him. QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 24, 2011 -> 04:48 AM) I was the same way. Thank you. I just don't know why we're condemning him to the BP already, he looked fine for a rookie starter on a new team. Last time there was an overreaction to a rookie SP having a bad start, we got Edwin Jackson.

Person 1: HEY! Some college students got pepper sprayed when it really wasn't necessary! Person 2: Those right-wing bastards! Person 1: Wait, what? Person 3: Those college kids were standing up for their liberal freedoms! Person 1: Again, what? Why are we making this about politics? People 2 & 3: BECAUSE THEY'RE WRONG

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) Denmon didn't shoot that well yesterday. And English has been an incredible ambassador for the school. English is a really nice guy, when he shows to class, and he's intelligent at times but will say things that are really dumb.

Am I the only one in the world who thinks Stewart can still cut it as a starter?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 03:45 PM) Coop was on XM radio today and said Zach Stewart is better suited for the bullpen FWIW. Dislike. I liked him as a starter...and I still want to do the 6man rotation.

f*** Kansas City.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 09:42 AM) Even so, they had to have some talent if they were ranked 18, even if they don't put it together. I really wasn't going to get hyped up for Haith's first season, even though I was not as upset as some by his hiring. I think Miami is a black hole for bball. And I probably put too much in the loss of Bowers, and not enough in the incredible play we will get out of English, Denmon and P Pressey. Denmon's efficiency to go with English's leadership and pressey's great D right now are an group. I'm excited to catch a game. This team appears to be much more efficient on offense than with anderson. Man, my faith in English gets shot after being his lab partner in Geology a few times. Mizzou lives and dies with Denmon's shot.

Ha! I win, my password is passwordisnotpassword. Take that hackers.

Hooray Mizzou! My pessimism is jinxing them to be good.
