Hansen done. 5 IP 5 H 3 R 3 ER 2 BB 6 SO. Not bad. Nearly had a QS.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) Am I getting carried away for thinking he may be a bit better than nothing? I wouldn't think that to be the case There's a difference between saying "a bit better" and "improving" ala Saladino who was actually a decent prospect in the minors (and age appropriate at the time). Like I said though, anytime you throw left handed, you can always carve out a career. Hopefully this guy handles AAA well and goes from there.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 06:26 PM) Nothing? Tell me what you know about Turner. He may be an improving young player like Saladino He's 25 in AA. Let's not get carried away. He does throw left handed however so he may stick around.

Stolen bases is the most overrated stat in the minors for prospects. I've said that for many years here.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Duncan Keith to skip the World Cup of Hockey to rest up the knee he had surgery on. That's fine by me. I really love the Olympics and I'll probably watch the World Cup, but it's a little harder to get into with the silly Team North America and Team Europe (or rest of) squads. I wonder how many injuries were hidden from the media. Apparently he injured it in the Blues series. And I think Saad has a great chance to be captain of the NA team. He should be playing with Kane and USA though. Same with Gaudreau (which is why USA is weaker all around. They don't have the depth like Canada). I'll be watching though.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) You must embarrass easily.. Once they go corporate, Who care sabout a park name? Why weren't you embarrassed by a nickname that made it seem like a prison? Embarrassing FOR THEM. r*pe was one of the words used as well as empty stadium, etc. Just no class. At least I'm working the "guaranteed to never win" angle for them.

Cubs fans are having a field day with this name at work currently. It's embarrassing.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 23, 2016 -> 08:40 AM) Yup. 14 games UNDER .500, but a half game into first in their division. Good times. It's unreal considering all the s***ty records in our affiliate. Only Great Falls to me looks legit to actually do something. Call has been a revelation for Kanny though.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 21, 2016 -> 07:32 PM) Omg Indeed. I don't think I've been excited about a prospect putting up video game numbers like this since Gio (who is still my favorite pitching prospect ever in our org).

Diaz won that fight IMO. It was close though.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 21, 2016 -> 12:01 AM) I've seen enough. Kris Bryant is the best non-Trout player in baseball. He's got baseball fans everywhere shook. Nobody thought he'd be THIS good this soon. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 21, 2016 -> 06:34 AM) Altuve, Betts and Donaldson would disagree...Machado and Arenado would have their backers, as well. Bryce Harper has one down season (ironically this is his best season defensively) and all of a sudden he's not even a thought? Yikes..

That shootout was fantastic to watch. Brazil wins the gold in their main sport in their home soil.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 20, 2016 -> 12:48 PM) So the dude turned down Tavares and Kane to go play with Kevin Hayes. Uh, ok. Crosby as well. Harvard may be overrated apparently.

Wow. Bills released Karlos Williams after one season. Averaged 5.6 yards per carry as a rookie. Supposedly was out of shape this year. I wonder if the Bears would take a flyer. Very good young RB.

Vesey in his conference call said Hayes had a huge impact on his decision. I've said it before and I'll say it again. f*** Kevin Hayes.

Oh Steven this is 2010 all over again.. Let's hope the Hawks win the cup again.

Kevin Hayes was recruiting him.. the same Kevin Hayes who left the Hawks to go to the Rangers and the Hawks won the cup and lifted the banner the next season against him.

Look like the Vesey watch will be over in the next 48 hours. Time to find out if Steve's "sources" were right this time... https://mobile.twitter.com/TSNBobMcKenzie/s...609907546222592 Let's hope that Harvard education paid off and he realizes the Blackhawks give him the best chance to win a cup ring and cash out on his next payday.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 18, 2016 -> 10:51 PM) Their front 7 is much improved. No Trevathan either. Secondary is weakest spot on team but they couldn't fix everything. Yup. Pace hinted it was going to be a 2-3 year thing. If anyone thought they would fix every weakness after one year, then they're out to lunch.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 16, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) I don't have much respect for Kaplan, but this should have never been a question. Kaplan is a million times better than Bernstein. I'm no fan of Kaplan, but he does have sources.

https://mobile.twitter.com/adater/status/765399110430101504 Hawks made a midnight offer. It has begun...

Vermette to Ducks. 2 yrs, 1.75 mil. Vrbata to Yotes. 1 yr, 1 mil. (3rd stint there)

Mookie Betts is incredible. That is all.

http://sinbin.vegas/report-name-selected-one-three/ Vegas team apparently down to 3 names for the team. And all of them have Hawks in it.. I would think/hope Rocky gives Bettman a call and says hell to the no with that crap. Hell, one is like a combo of the Red Wings and Blackhawks. Just awful.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 10, 2016 -> 05:15 AM) Would have been better off just sending him back to the Yankees last year... Funny.. I think me and fathom were the only 2 who were secretly hoping Sox would just let him go to the Yanks when they put in the waiver claim. I'll still give them the benefit of the doubt and see if they get something for him.
