QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 01:28 PM) An adult would have asked the coach to talk in private. From the articles I've read, Eaton was pretty animated about not playing yesterday and few of Eaton's comments were childish. Read the articles and the quotes. He acted like a bratt. He did and I did read the articles (http://m.mlb.com/news/article/130394204/adam-eaton-not-happy-about-not-starting-on-saturday).

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 09:58 AM) I understand this is Eaton venting frustration due to his under performing so far but he really needs to take a step back and think about how his childish actions could affect a team already playing poor baseball. If he wants to act like a child then treat him as one. Any time he b****es about a day off, I would sit him the next day until he learned to shut his trap. If he was playing better baseball, there would be no issues. This all comes back to Eaton's poor playing that has put coaches in a difficult position. After all, the TEAM is trying to get back into the race and Eaton's childish actions will not help. Eaton benched himself will poor play and at some point he will need to realise this. I strongly disagree with this. Having someone express their disappointment that they're not playing is not childish. Matter of fact, I bet most starters share this feeling. Also take the player we're talking about in consideration. He's a competitor and his work ethic has never been questioned. I'm sure a lot of managers almost expect some sort of conversation to come up from their starters if they get benched.

Hawks can beat these guys but now in tough spot and need to win before going back to Tampa. The saying the hawks get better as the series goes on needs to happen quick.

Wait, this has nothing to do with Gene Honda right?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 09:01 PM) Game was there to be had, Hawks got home ice at least. Definitely, such a winnable game.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 2, 2015 -> 02:45 PM) Based off looks alone Gar has to be the biggest prick on the face of the earth. Ha, I think the same thing.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 2, 2015 -> 01:14 PM) he is a freaking idiot. who cares what he has to say. his time in the sun has faded. Exactly. Why does anyone care about his opinion... Oh yeah, this is the world that the Kardashians have on their toes and a trans that gets a magazine cover. Jesus....

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 25, 2015 -> 10:00 PM) There are no quarters in hockey . its divided into 3 pieces not 4 Haha yes yes... Give me a break, stressful situation right now

Great recovery by the hawks. It seems like anytime one of these teams has dominated one quarter the other takes the next. Hopefully they can keep it up.

Lol at the excuse making of these announcers. "Andersen missed that one because he was cold". Keep it going guys.

If being down 3 0 isn't waking them up, then this game is over already. Sloppy passing, no shots, and I really don't remember the last time a Hawks player slid to block a shot.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 13, 2015 -> 03:01 PM) Oh gee, an extra FT would have been nice to have when we were down 2 at the end of the game! Did they score on the next possession since they got the ball again?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 13, 2015 -> 02:29 PM) Hey thanks NBA for that ! Vincent Goodwill ‏@vgoodwill 2m2 minutes ago RT @NBAPR: CLE's Dellavedova has been assessed a technical foul for his involvement in altercation with CHI's Gibson at 10:25 of 4Q Is Taj eligible to play game 6?

Oh there's a crowd at the UC? Thought it was empty until now.

The Bulls have no answer, but this officiating crew is giving Cle fouls on any contact whatsoever.

Update on my new car purchase. I bought my new car yesterday. Got quotes from all the dealers in the area online during the week and worked them to beat each other. Ended up paying roughly $516 under invoice for my Subaru. The invoice price I found online varies from each source, but that's based on Edmunds and TrueCar. I even got them to throw in the tint at the last minute when they wouldn't go down in price anymore.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Mar 7, 2015 -> 05:53 PM) Micah with a stand up triple and then scored on an infield single He made it look easy.

At the game. Nothing but hard hit balls in the gaps for Surkamp and Putnam.

QUOTE (dewssox79 @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 04:14 PM) I am in the car industry. What are some of your specific questions? I've been reading a lot about starting negotiations at the invoice price of the car. I'm sure every car or dealer is different, but how close to invoice price will they sell cars for? I also have read a couple things about dealers pulling a fast one with financing by agreeing to terms then calling the next day that the terms will need to be changed because the bank didn't approve. I've even been told that they even have customers sign waivers that prevents customers from backing out if the terms change effectively screwing them into paying more. I figure I either won't finance through dealers or wait to take the care until the paperwork is official from their bank.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 11:00 AM) Dont get attached to a car and make that lead into into a bad deal because you want it now. Cars are a horrible investment and you should treat it that way. Thanks everyone. I'm definitely going through this process as smart as I can. Doing research online and using Edmunds and TrueCar.com. I plan on going at the end of March when it is the end of the fiscal year for Toyota and Subaru. I'm looking at financing through my credit union as well as putting down a hefty down payment. I'm also not buying the first day I go out to negotiate. Going to walk out and see if they can lower the price even more.

Anyone been to a sushi restaurant where they served one plate, ~15 minute wait, next plate, ~15 minute wait, and so forth? I'm still a sushi newbie so not sure if this is just how some restaurants do it. This was on Saturday btw. Really no wait time to get seated though, we practically walked right in.

Looking to purchase my first brand new car. I wasn't going brand new initially, but after some research, a used model is only ~5k less. Been reading lots of reviews, articles on new car shopping/negotiating, noting down things such as invoice prices, average price paid, etc. Anyone want to share any effective tips used when negotiating that really worked well for you?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 10, 2015 -> 01:19 PM) I can still hear the "Oh no" from game 2 when Iguchi's ball went under their 2b's glove. Former White Sox, Tony Graffanino.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Oct 11, 2014 -> 11:57 AM) I interviewed for a position yesterday. Went really well. I ended up finding out that one of the interviewers knows a former co worker. The interviewer contacted my friend after she was finished before my interview was even over. He gave glowing reviews about me and she wants me on board. However, apparently I make more than the rest of the others in that position and can't match my salary. Knowing this, I'd like to try to negotiate. I'd take less as this is a great opportunity. Any advice on negotiating with this in mind? There was no advertised salary on the job posting. I hope they're not looking to pay me 10k less. Just an update. I ended up getting offered and accepting the System Administrator position. Bottom line, I will end up making a little less a year, but my base salary is higher (OT and bonuses were the difference at the last place). I'm content with leaving to be in a position that I want to be in and in a company with less frustrations and stress (not to mention less hours). I can relate with Steve, much happier so far. With that said, looking long term I'm a little unsure where I want to end up in the IT industry. I don't think I want to continue being an Engineer forever though not necessarily sure about being in management. My feelings are that I'd like to work in a position where I'm not expected to work after hours for upgrades/migrations or putting out fires. I think of a traditional 9-5 schedule.
