Whitewashed in '05

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 03:04 PM) I still am of the belief that it will be a good deal by all accounts for the Giants and his final line was more than solid. Talk about overreaction here. I think there's another side to this reaction and its the fact that he did so poorly with the Sox.

Nice to see a comeback so early in the season. Hopefully this gets them some confidence to get hot. 2-0!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 06:58 PM) -Mcgregor vs Diaz at 170 for UFC 200 official -Aldo vs Edgar for interim title at 200 -Rousey targeting fight vs Cyborg since she has joined UFC officially. 1. Lame, let's see Conor vs Edgar... UFC just had to redeem their golden boy though in another non title fight main event. 2. Interim? That's stupid. The UFC again doing everything they can to make it possible for their golden boy to be a two division champ. Aldo or Edgar should be the real title holders after that fight. 3. I don't know how true this is if it's rumored. Dana wants to make that Ronda/Holly fight again badly with one of them having the belt.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 11:25 AM) I am of the belief that a great mix martial artist would beat a great boxer anyday. UFC 196 reminded us of that to some extent. If you want to play the what-if scenarios, then if Tate could take Holm down multiple times and submit her on the ground, then Rousey should be able to do the same if she tried to. The question headed into the Rousey/Holm fight was how well could Holm defend the takedown and submissions. The Tate/Holm fight answered that question. Tate utilized different takedown techniques than Ronda. You can't take away the defense on takedowns Holly had vs Ronda, but the fight with Tate showed she still has to get more well rounded. Ronda's takedowns are mostly in a high clinch with judo throws. Tate's we're more wrestling/jiu jitsu.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 06:50 PM) Holm should blame her manager for costing her essentially 8 figures. If she would've waited, she would've fought Rousey again. But I do agree with you that should be the matchup. It was just a very poor managerial decision and case in point, her manager is new to the business. Soon after her fight with Ronda, Holly has been saying since that she's the one who made the decision to fight as soon as possible. She says she likes to stay active.

Surprise, surprise except it's not a surprise. With the idea that they need to start fast, Rollins better be benched if he start out badly after a few weeks (but he won't be).

Apparently the Tigers are kicking the tires on Kyle Lohse. Who would've thought he'd still be in the league from the first wave of competitive Twins teams that whooped us. I believe him and AJ are the only ones left. Wait is Latroy Hawkins still around?

Nice article on Tommy. We didn't get a chance to get any exposure to him, but that article did a good job. Sounds like he was a great person. So sad.

Does anyone know how many games the starting 5 have actually played together?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 08:48 PM) At worst, it's a tie between he and Kane. Once he cooled off, the offense is nowhere to be found now. One line has essentially carried us all year led by 88. He's in a slump right now and all of a sudden everyone else is too. That's when the rest of the team that wasn't hot while he was is supposed to step up. Today's game was ugly. Hopefully they're embarrassed about it.

First all, thank you to Y2HH for the contributions regarding FBI vs. Apple. His support on this topic is solid and I couldn't have said it better. Changing gears a little, the "post Snowden" era has increased the visibility of issues like this that many more people are conscience more than ever. Including Apple themselves. I'll finish my post with this: "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 09:56 PM) No one is going to guarantee playing time AND offer only a minor league deal at the same time. The Sox offer Rollins an opportunity to get significant playing time at not only SS but also 2B, but he's got to earn the roster spot. I hope he sticks, I believe he would be a good mentor to the Sox young SS in Saladino and ultimately Anderson. He could have as big a role off the field/in the dugout as he does on the field in that regard. And he's a switch hitter to boot Except the reports are that he's going to be competing for the starting job at SS.

I am really really hoping they didn't offer him a lot of playing time. A career NL player on the downside of his career and the sox sign this guy and promise him playing time? Ridiculous. I'd be happier with Tyler.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 17, 2016 -> 09:44 PM) Did you just call Dark Twisted Fantasy "slim"? It's one of the best rap albums of all time and I would say it's arguably his best with only College Dropout in the mix. Ok, let's take a big step back here. It's not anywhere on any list of best of all time. Not even Kanye's best album.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 12:25 PM) Waiting for them to announce the signings of Ryan Bukvich, Ehren Wasserman, and Lance Broadway. They already had Broadway.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 08:32 AM) Not immediately job-related, but I did pass my PMP exam last week and am now certified. That's awesome congrats! I will be taking that exam down the road. How did you study and how tough was the test?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 10, 2016 -> 04:05 PM) Wow, Blair Walsh with the massive choke job. How did he miss???

Only 2 people elected?? David Eckstein and Jason Kendall get votes? Ugh

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 14, 2015 -> 12:59 AM) You have a link? Didn't Frankie lose to Aldo? He did "lose" but that decision was a little controversial. Not sure how the majority of those judges thought Aldo won rounds 3-5.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 13, 2015 -> 03:26 PM) I'm not denying I'm a very casual UFC fan but it seems time and time again, the major fights are short while the undercard guys who I'm not familiar with go longer. Why pay to order on PPV when I can get a Twitter video of the fight? Maybe I'm forgetting some, but what main events have ended in the first round aside from Saturday's and Ronda's recent fights?

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 13, 2015 -> 05:56 AM) UFC is such a crap shoot. It takes one punch or kick to derail anyone. You say it as if fights ending in the first 13 second in the UFC are the norm. That's why MMA is exciting. You saw one fight ending quickly on a punch and another going the distance with a couple of Jiu Jitsu experts. You never know what to expect.

I'm not siding with Greg, but is it really his job to tell the guys wife or cut all ties to him? I mean, that's none of his business in all honesty. Especially if he's already expressed to the guy he thinks he should stop. As long as he isn't encouraging it that's none of his business. He's not the one committing th act.

From what I'm hearing, there's no other team even close to offering Davis this amount of money. He's crazy if he doesn't accept and the Os are even crazier for continuing to up the offer. He's a good power hitter, but that's beyond overpaying.

Almost there now, who ya got? Aldo Vs. McGregor: Winner McGregor - McGregor has gotten in to Aldo's head. He's made this a very emotional fight for Aldo which I think will effect Aldo negatively. Personally I hope not. How Vegas has Aldo as the underdog though?? That's crazy in my opinion. Weidman Vs. Rockhold: Winner Rockhold - Rockhold is solid in all facets. What he's done to some of his last opponents like Machida is pretty incredible. I am rooting for Weidman though. Edgar Vs. Mendes: Winner Edgar - Mendes might be the better wrestler, but I think Edgar's pressure will disrupt Mendes.
