QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 25, 2014 -> 05:46 AM) Yeah but there is also something to having the team in red while the fans are mostly wearing red as well. Yea, although the home white is classic something about the "red out" at home gets the blood pumping.

QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Mar 21, 2014 -> 10:26 AM) I've never been able to actually get connected to it. The site never pops up for me. Personal experience, you aren't missing much, that Wifi has always sucked for me.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Mar 20, 2014 -> 04:24 PM) Lets be careful what we call top tier talent than. Turner has a lot of upside, but there is a reason that the Marlins have him on the block instead of their other young SP's. His K/BB and WHIP aren't great and his numbers are aided by playing in the park and division he does. Turner is not even table stakes for Sale, the bidding would start with Fernandez. Viciedo is probably not enough based on fit, but the Sox have other guys that would fit the bill. This is pretty much my mindset too.

Just the thought of drinking a beer and having some xfinity dude bug me about signing up for the "triple play" makes me cringe.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 18, 2014 -> 11:26 AM) Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc 1m #Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said it's "possible" Brandon Saad returns to face Blues tomorrow night. Michal Rozsival out "few games." I'll take that news 12 out of 10 times every day of the year.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 18, 2014 -> 01:09 PM) True, it's not a very high bar at 2B right now, but Semien has made strides at every level and flashed some surprising pop in his bat. For that reason I feel like he's been a bit under the radar and could be more of a surprise than people expect. I know spring training means squat but even before bacon became injured and was supposedly "just starting to feel his swing" he just looks like his plain ol below average self. I just wish we could break camp with eaton,semien,abreu,and garcia anchoring the top of the lineup. I know it's not going to happen right now but would that be awesome or what?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 18, 2014 -> 10:30 AM) Letroy Guion and Julius Peppers are the only players that came from other teams. Good Scouting and some luck to pick and plug players, that's why the packers are able to remain atop the division

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 17, 2014 -> 01:31 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 1m Tyler Flowers on being no. 1 catcher out of gate: "It's a good start to get the opportunity but you have to earn it each and every day" Well he says the right things, now DO the right things on the field to back it up.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 17, 2014 -> 06:32 AM) I added a new link to the original post. I'm not a subscriber either, but I am able to read it if I go through Buster Olney's link. Thanks

Looks like you have to be a subscriber to read the article so I'm screwed. But from the headline, this was expected. 1 last run of the flower power.(hopefully)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 15, 2014 -> 11:14 AM) This is basically the same team that ran away with it last year. Well we see how much we actually miss Bolland, I understand why they had to get rid of his salary but the guy was still smart and a defensive stud. Had good control over the line and they got rid of him thinking someone like Pirri could step up and grasp that spot, but Q didn't like Pirri's D(and rightfully so,offensive stud with bad D). That's why i think Teravainen coming over, already in hockey shape, should give a huge boost to this team. I hope it's sooner than later so hopefully his team gets eliminated lol

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Mar 15, 2014 -> 09:40 AM) Could the plane have made it all the way to unfriendly Myanmar, and getting help hiding it? I definitely think that's a very realistic possibility. I just feel bad for the families stuck in limbo on whether the passengers were killed or are being help captive ( which i would imagine they are to be used as leverage as some point?)

At this point in ST, with this being a night game on tv, we should see Sale-Kershaw and opening day lineups(or close to) for at least 5 innings, which is great!

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Mar 15, 2014 -> 10:03 AM) The black hole at second line center is massive along with the fact bickell sucks. Even after he got hot in the playoffs I still didn't think he was a high priority the way alot of people made it seem, he's been below average to decent in his couple years with the hawks but in last years stanley cup run he played on a line with kane and toews,gets hot at the right moment, gets paid, and now he's definitely proving he was a fluke. I always said Kane and Toews will always make X player look alot better than they are playing on their line, not to discredit bickle getting hot because he did score some huge goals but man that guy is frustrating as hell to watch.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 15, 2014 -> 08:41 AM) THAT'S FANTASTIC! (for the rest of the NFC North) As old and slow as he seemed last year, I wouldn't want someone like Peppers playing with a chip on his shoulder against us.lol

This team needs a fire,it seems the hangover is settling in for these tired Hawks. Hopefully Hossa coming back and Teravainen soon to come over to line that woeful 2nd line center gap we have sparks these guys up. The Hawks are trying to do their best impersonation of the White Sox with 9-11-3 record against their own Central Division.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 15, 2014 -> 12:43 AM) I'm placing money on Putin having stolen it. The USA will send CIA Agent Dennis Rodman to retrieve it. Sounds legit. On a serious side, the Malaysian government is hiding too much,now they officially are accepting the conclusion it was hijacked,it took them this long to confirm it?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 07:23 AM) I wouldnt hold my breath for a QB in this draft. Emery needs to think all defense all day, especially after just breaking the bank with Cutler and resigning Palmer. I think they will start thinking about grooming a QB when Cutlers guaranteed money goes away The way Cutler's med history is going,that guaranteed money might end up flopping, I understand they're almost in like a transition/hybrid rebuild mode but they can't let this amazing WR core go to waste, it won't hurt to draft a 3rd/4rd QB,First 2 rounds are gonna be DL anyway, so that should immediately boost the D because Houston (hopefully allen and a healthy melton/ratfliff) plus someone like jernigan will already help out the secondary SUBSTANTIALLY. With that said, I don't think a QB in the later rounds too far out of the question.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 08:37 AM) How though? Where is Semien's roster spot coming from? As of now, barring a trade, the bench is De Aza, Konerko, Keppinger, and a catcher. Without Keppinger on the roster, I'm assuming it'd be Danks or Leury Garcia. Semien will most likely be starting at AAA with Sanchez, Davidson, and Wilkins in the IF. Semien has no spot on this team unless De Aza and keppinger are gone(even then they rather have him starting) or beckham or alexei is gone. So more than likely he'll be in AAA all year because they want him playing every day i believe.

I'm really interested to see what Emery and Trestman have in mind when it comes to drafting a QB and how high in the draft they'll reach for one. For sure the first 2 rounds are 100% defense, but i'd want to find out who they have in mind for the later rounds because as already mentioned, Trestman is a guru and I really hope he finds someone in the later rounds that might eventually really work in his system like he envisions. Personally I think he's using Cutler as a stop gap and IMO he's not the answer to winning a Superbowl. I think Trestman will end up drafting a quarterback to his liking and mold him into a mobile,accurate,efficient,and definitely smart football IQ QB (ala RW3,CK7,AR12)

Keppinger? *facepalm*

Semyon Varlamov had 37 saves last night, totaling 168 saves on 175 shots in 4 games (4-0).....In other words, He has the hot hand against the Hawks, but until he does that in a 7 game series against the Hawks I'm not in panic mode;that's a ridiculous save percentage. Given when someone has your number it's tough but If I'm the Hawks and it does come down to a 1st round series against these guys I hope they buckle down and get some payback on this guy.

no way the bears could match that deal,good luck Josh!
