Whitewashed in '05

Neil Cotts

I’m willing to bet that they do feel like they prioritize and invest. It comes down to having the correct staff no matter if they have ties to the organization or not. Doesn’t seem like they have the right people based on the state of the farm.

Honest question - how much value do those guys have aside from Robert, Kopech, Liam?

Not surprised to see that reaction. We both joined in 03 though. Haha

Carlos Correa is a potential target of the Yanks and he trashed Jeter? Haha, probably not a smart business decision to be that outspoken before getting signed.

If Eloy was bad before, imagine him going Manny type of effort. He doesn’t have the natural ability, but he can learn things to be better without sacrificing his body. He’s a professional athlete so improvement isn’t out of the question.

Any metrics out there from all MLB teams players on IL this year compared to last year or previous year?

It all had to do with Sano deciding to wake up? I take it he made the conscious decision to go back to sleep vs Gio?

I don't get a chance to watch many games these days. I made it a point to watch his last game. So even though I don't hear him often, its sad that I won't have the option anymore. Those last couple innings were hard to get through thinking "this is it" while you could hear him cry. His passion for the White Sox is real. Hawk is a big identity of the White Sox for me. That won't change now that he's retired. Enjoy retirement Hawk. We will never forget your contributions to White Sox baseball. I will quote you for my lifetime when watching baseball.

There’s not one GM that would say something like the first statement you mentioned. Imagine what that could do to an athelete’s mental state after hearing the GM of his team say that.

I’ve heard of this before when someone is rehabbing the injury and they rush through the rehab too quickly. From walking though, seems odd. I wonder if that’s the whole story though just “walking”. Maybe the body didn’t take the replaced tendon or he walked too early after surgery. More details are needed.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 08:41 AM) It's crazy the two best LHW fighters in history, by a large margin, are competing at the same exact time. I wouldn't mind seeing DC move back to heavyweight and make a run there. Besides a Jones vs Rumble fight, there's nothing in the LHW division that moves the needle. A rematch with Gustafsson has lost some of its excitement but after those two, what's left in the division? I would like to see Jones move up too but I don't think he really wants that unless it involves mega money and only Lesnar can generate that. The UFC better make sure McGregor comes back after this Mayweather circus. Who is the face of the UFC if he doesn't come back? You can tell they're desperate by booking the GSP/Bisping fight. Does anyone truly care about this matchup? A WW champ who hasn't fought in years vs a MW who has only defended his belt against a middle aged fighter who was retiring and still got beat up. Are they trying to protect Bisping to keep the U.K. train rolling? There's not much in the LHW division. There's not any newcomers except for Volkam and he's barely got 3 wins. Gus rematch is going to happen. I'd like to see that one still. Cain vs Jones would be interesting as they can play the "revenge" card with Cain being DCs teammate. I'll watch any fight with Jones though. He's very fun to watch.

Say what you want about Jones the person, but that guy is one hell of a fighter. D.C. Wouldn't have ever had the belt if Jones wasn't an idiot. Either way everyone is entitled to their opinion. Hell I can't stand Conor.

Hopefully he finally gets the credit he deserves (and the run support).

So far the number of Ks haven't affected him being able to pitch deep in to games. That'll be something interesting keep note of as the season goes on. The number of Ks could just be that the AL East isn't used to seeing him as much so he's just getting more swings and misses. Not taking anything away from the guy though. He's finally getting recognized as one of the very best. Something he's been for years.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 08:13 PM) So, off the top of my head, we have Linebrink, Greg Walker/Scott Fletcher, AJ, Tyler Flowers, Bonifacio, Beckham, Danks all going to ATL after the Sox...who else? Technically Flowers went back to ATL. Wish nothing but the best for Danks. Hopefully he makes it. He always took the ball and did well for us before his injury. Will never forget #163.

I've had a very good experience with my Surface. I use it at work a lot for note taking in meetings with OneNote. Then I go back to my desk and everything is there without having to manually sync anything or if I write my notes during a meeting on paper I don't have to type it up. I use the pen when I have to stay on my feet and walk around noting things down. They are also powerful machines in terms of resources. I've seen people use Surfaces as their only computer with a docking station. I'm not a huge fan of the USB docking station, but it works. You also have the full Windows OS. If I want to connect it to a projector to demonstrate something, I can do that. If I want to print something, that's easy too. Not like an ipad where I have to buy additional hardware. The touch screen is also nice and responsive. I'm a fan. It works well for what I need it for.

QUOTE (Donaldo @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 06:51 PM) That and Matt Thornton. Yup, just Matt Thornton.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Sep 26, 2016 -> 04:30 PM) I'm sure statistics would tell you driving 30 foot boat full speed at 3:30 AM along the shoreline is more dangerous than having a coke bender. Lots of coke ODs a year...

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Sep 26, 2016 -> 03:45 PM) I really hate to make the comparison, but Bias was a 2 time All American, 2 time ACC player of the year and 2nd overall pick by the Celtics. Based on the exposure, he was already a star. It's not like a MLB prospect dying because nobody really watches MiLB and they aren't making the cover of Sports Illustrated. I was 5 years old when he died and I still remember hearing the news. Bias was actually the first thing I thought about when I heard the news because it was 2 budding stars that's died tragically doing something stupid. Such a bummer. Not trying to be over sensitive, but I don't think there's enough details released to say they were being stupid on the boat. No alcohol found on the scene and suspicion is they may not have even seen the jetty before they hit it.

Werdum should be embarrassed on his performance. Except for his flying head kick, that was garbage. He was fighting an opponent with only a jab who isn't known for his kicks.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 04:08 PM) 20th game the Sox lost this year when holding an opponent to three runs or less. 12th game this year the Sox lost when leading in the 7th inning or later. If I was Sale I'd tell my agent to demand a trade this winter...this is utterly ridiculous. Mark Curious what those stats are for teams that would make the playoffs if the season ended right now.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 23, 2016 -> 12:01 PM) Rogan just posted Nick Diaz vs. McGregor. I think the early rumors is Conor wants to fight at 155 but that would be another huge cash grab. Nick is better than Nate and you could build the narrative of big brother avenging his loss. The fans would definitely eat up that matchup. It's not a great matchup though. Nick hasn't had a win since 2011. I'd rather see Conor back to 145 to defend his belt. Enough of this interim champ crap. He either goes back or he gives up the belt.
