Hawk is a legend but he isn't a great announcer. I hated Red Kerr his last few years announcing but I surprisingly missed him after he left even though Stacey King is hilarious. When Hawk finally hangs them up, the White Sox games will definitely be a lot less fun to watch if nothing else.

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 30, 2012 -> 11:27 PM) I worked for a guy who bragged about using similar interview tactics. He was a piece of crap. If it's a top firm/place of business I don't mind them trying to catch you off guard and whatnot and it is an interview so every little thing counts, but yeah you'd hope they could at least be respectful.

QUOTE (scenario @ Aug 31, 2012 -> 12:39 AM) Somewhere in between maybe. More talent than AAA but doesn't have all the veterans who have the experience.

Here is hoping for another good 10 years

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 10:36 AM) I disagree with the premise that World Series ratings are low because the Yankees are on ESPN all the time. I think WS ratings are low because by the time it is on people have had their fill of baseball for the year. Postseason is too long, too many teams. Baseball has the least amount of teams in the playoffs, I don't understand how you say too many teams.... The problem is baseball isn't as fun to watch as the other sports and it's as simple as that.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 01:37 PM) Bears cut Rashied Davis. thank you. Rather of kept him over Sazenbacher who isn't the special teams player Davis is and drops the ball way too often.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) Why are u so obsessed with the fact I'm incensed the Royals are kicking our ass when they can't beat anybody else? Sox are 4-8 vs. KC. If that goes up to 4-14 we will not make the playoffs. Every team loses games they aren't supposed too, we won 7 of 8 vs Mariners... I'm pretty sure the Tigers have a losing record against them. Saying "We can't keep losing to a s***ty team" isn't telling anyone something they don't know.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 03:55 AM) As many? They have more. It's Myers, AJ, Rios vs. Fielder, Cabrera, Young, Valverde I don't find Matt Thornton very likable either

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 02:18 AM) Well damn, some people are bitter that their underachieving, overpaid team of fat guys and Verlander isn't living up to expectations. Enough to wish physical harm on Sale. That's some classless s*** right there. That'd be like me wishing Prince gained so much mass he'd collapse on himself like a blackhole and cease to exist. Last guy is right, Karma is a b****, as they've learned for wishing bodily harm on people. And no matter what happens... http://youtu.be/oZzgAjjuqZM?t=40s Yeah some of the comments on their board are funny... Detroit fans calling other teams classless just doesn't make sense. Oh and they have just as many unlikeable players as us

QUOTE (zenryan @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 10:32 PM) Good thing Seattle spent all that money on Flynn... I usually give teams props to not play the expensive guy if the cheaper option is outperforming them.... but you just gave this guy a lot of money and not even going to let him play 1 regular season game to show his worth?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 08:17 PM) Feels very 2005ish. 2005 it felt like every single game we were ahead and hardly ever had to worry about coming from behind.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:13 AM) Even so, you got six out of the last 20 years. That is 6 out of thousands. I'd still call that rare, sport. Those guys were just the top tier, plenty of guys improved later they went just weren't all that great like verlander or the previously mentioned.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 11:16 AM) Looks to me like Maholm has been better. Looks to me you need to read an entire sentence

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 01:37 AM) That's a possibility, but it is a gorgeous ballpark in pretty great location, and it seems that the fans have become pretty loyal over the previous 10 years. They might draw for a while, and I think they will. But with no real strong pitching coming up, and an offense that is not young by any stretch of the imagination, it might be a while before they compete again. Yeah with the location and how nice the ballpark is, if I lived in Minneapolis I'd probably go to more Twins games than I do Wsox ones currently.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 07:15 PM) In that sense, Quintana was hardly in our system as well. He was in the Yankees' system 95%, except they didn't value him as being worth a 40 man roster spot. So better to say our scouting staff has a knack for finding guys like Jenks, Santos, Iguchi, Quintana, Quentin, Thornton, Septimo, DeAza, Humber, etc. We didn't really DEVELOP them, though. Definitely deserve some credit for Santiago, too. I think Quintana was only in the Yanks system one season but was with Mets for multiple years. Difference is Quintana when acquired wasn't close to the major league level he just happened to have an incredible rise to the big league roster while De Aza was always a phone call away when we acquired him. Both good finds regardless, but I give us more credit for Quintana than a guy like De Aza or Jenks even.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 11:38 PM) Best Suits episode yet. Fantastic. Harvey stoned? Motherf***ing money. I really wish they didn't f*** over Rachel again though, kind of annoying. Also next season looks like his college credintials are going to be a focus again sadly.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:11 AM) Yep. It's got to be Price. His numbers are ridiculous. How did you leave Verlander off the list though? I know Win/Loss record is not solely on the pitcher but it definitely comes into play which will definitely be working against Felix and Verlander. Think at this point it is between Price/Weaver and if both of them falter Chris Sale/Verlander be next in line. Verlander does have a chance to beat out Sale because of his popularity but the first 2 mentioned are in command of it atm.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 01:26 AM) The power will probably come with age. That is just a copout answer... sometimes you either have it or dont.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 12:43 AM) From the Trib: So the doubles and triples are fine just only 1 HR is a bit alarming given he is 4th in hits. Has anyone actually seen Sanchez play at all?

I don't know what happened, used to destroy at Source and now that I've come back I tend to get my ass kicked... its very disheartening.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 22, 2012 -> 06:59 PM) http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-rt-...0,6015474.story This could be a pretty big ruling for online gambling. I'll be so ecstatic the day I can log into Pokerstars again.....Won't ever make a living off poker but I was up a few grand and I just enjoy playing and not a fan of actual casinos much.

Right now David price has to be in lead IMO.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 22, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) I'd actually be ok with this. So your screwing a franchise and 24 other people for the act of one person. They should just make it a full season ban, at least for major leaguers.

When could opinions not be wrong or right?

How come when these disagreements happen its always 1 or 2 against everyone else and those 1 or 2 never seem to give up their position no matter what people say to them.... I just would have thought it would have been Marty or caufield instead of badger.
