QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) If Jimmy Rollins went to KW and moaned, and then said this http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0315-story.html he is not a leader. A leader would cop to what he did and explain it to everyone. I don't see where anything Jimmy said was wrong. He just said that he loves his family. It is LaRoche's right to walk away from the family and it is the Sox right to depict what the rules of the clubhouse should be. That said, if the Sox agreed to these terms prior to LaRoche signing, than they need and should live with those terms. Additionally, even if they didn't, it would appear that this was handed as an edict from the top and might not have had the right communication and was handled poorly.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 10:41 AM) KW really is falling on the sword Jeff PassanVerified account ‏@JeffPassan 5m5 minutes ago After GM Rick Hahn and manager Robin Ventura OK'd Drake LaRoche's presence, for Williams to unilaterally say otherwise set the players off. If the GM and Manager were on board with it, than while I realize Williams is ultimately the president, but he should be canned in my opinion for going around the people who are much closer to the situations backs. This also might be Kenny telling Rick and Ventura that look, we all agree, but I absolutely need to be the bad guy because the reality is, you two have to work with the players a lot more regularly than I do.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 10:27 AM) Then, at some point, the team decided that the arrangement wasn't working and tried to change it. The White Sox do have the ability to change their minds occasionally if they feel it is prudent. Yeah...I can't get on this argument. If the Sox told him, before he signed, that it was okay for his son to be there as much as he'd like him, than I think they made there bed. To change, yes, they are entitled to it, but it looks poorly and is essentially a flat out lie.

Congrats!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 01:58 PM) Ugh. Please no. Please surprise me and totally redeem the franchise (after that awful 4th one).

TE is an area of need in my book.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 12:54 PM) Boom. Boom. Boom. Mr.Brown is a wonder...Boom Boom Boom...My Brown makes thunder PS: Yes, I read way too much Dr Seuss that the first thing that comes to my head is that. My daughter loves the book and especially loves that part.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 05:30 PM) This dude is a nut job. Confirmed. He's voting Trump.

It is nice to look (at least for the time being) at the standings and seeing the Sox near the top. Relatively speaking, didn't realize Cubs were 1-8. Only Baltimore is worse.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) I was ecstatic. I knew it was too good to be true. I started getting multiple texts about it, which was the only reason I though it might be true. Then I did my own search and couldn't find a thing about it. Seemed legit enough to me. A 2nd rounder plus whatever big money we'd give him, wouldn't necessarily be unrealistic. That said, I presume Jets are going to give him the bucks.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 11:50 AM) Bears acquired him for Bennett and a 2nd round pick? Legit or no? Total fake.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 11:43 AM) Anybody hearing this Mohammed Wilkerson chatter? Is this really happening?? Scratch that. Think I'm getting punked. Don't see it being reported anywhere. Bears acquired him for Bennett and a 2nd round pick? Legit or no?

who is set to start on Sunday? Want to know who I'm going to see pitch. Thanks in advance!

Taking the family down to San Diego Zoo and Seaworld for 2 nights / 3 days in a couple weeks. Catching spring training for 2 games in advance of a conference in Arizona.

Chris Emma ‏@CEmma670 2m2 minutes ago Danny Trevathan was given word that the Bears would be adding more pieces to their defense. The linebacker is pumped for what may be coming.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 09:01 AM) Perhaps. Our defense was awful and some of the turnovers were head scratchers. Guys were missing open passes by a good 3 feet. Moore played out of his mind and more or less replaced Jimmy's production on offense. We really need him on the defensive end though. Rose also couldn't keep up with a 33 year old Parker. Here is the problem. Turnovers have been an issue all season. The little things have been an issue all season. With injuries or not, I expect those aspects to fall on the coaches and players to correct them. I just don't have a stream of confidence when it comes to Hoiberg's ability to minimize those issues. That said, if Butler can get back and healthy, I'd love to see this team go on a run. Rose is playing really quality basketball right now and that is a great thing to see.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 11:31 AM) John McCain, who picked Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate. Teaparty movement didn't exist. Mabye Palin was always extreme, but I never had that radical perception of her prior to that (hell, I didn't even know who she was prior to that).

88.

I predict we'll like up our dlinemen today and presume we are still going to go aggressive at a safety. Lemming indicates he thinks Miller will be back. I wonder what Pace would do if the Niners offered their 1st for Jay. Seems like Kaep is going to one of the Browns or Broncos for a 2nd round pick (wonder if we could make it a three team deal...this is presuming Pace thinks highly of one of the top couple QB's). Also, surprised we are interested in CJ Anderson, but than I look at his numbers and wow, he was a beast, great average per carry, still young. Supposedly he might sign an offer sheet today (I'd have to presume Broncos match).

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) @bradbiggs #Bears contract for LB Danny Trevathan short of the $28M range. Total value is $24.5M with $12M guarannted and $5M signing bonus. Trevathan has $1.5M base salary this season with $3.5M roster bonus. He has annual workout bonuses worth $100K each season. 2017 base $2M 2018 base $5.8M 2019 base $5.8M plus $500K roster bonus Trevathan base salaries in 2016 and 2017 are fully guaranteed. What are we missing here? Does the rest of the league think he was overrated? That seems like a steal? On a sidenote, why the f*** are we backloading the deal? Why, when we have a bagillion bucks in cap space, wouldn't we front load the deal a bit more (I realize it poses some risk if a player stinks, but still, we have tons of cap space).

Massie has had some off the field issues. When arrested he had indicated he has been intoxicated for 10 years, but noted he is not an alcoholic. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/...rt-on-his-team/

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) 3 yr deal per Briggs. Presume we will still look at safety plus Dline. 3 years/16.5m for porter.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 02:28 PM) Hope he stays healthy. I thought he was really good last year. Ian Rapoport on Twitter: "The #Bears are re-signing CB Tracy Porter, source said. They rejuvenated his career there. 3 yr deal per Briggs. Presume we will still look at safety plus Dline.
