QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 13, 2012 -> 01:49 PM) But statistics also show that the presence of a gun consistently inflames situations and makes a violent outcome more likely in the event of a confrontation, regardless of who initiates it. If you remove the impediments to carrying and using a gun, then you wind up with more people carrying and more using. I always have people who are in love with guns tell me states that allow you to carry a gun have lower crime rates but never bothered to look up the statistic myself.

That statistic has to be flawed IMO, if anything the USA has shown consequences are not a great deterrent in stoping crime compared to other countries.

Rain ruined the match but Nadal wins another French Open. Be interesting to see how Djokovic responds at Wimbledon given I think it is his weakest surface despite winning there last year. I think Federer might actually end up beating out both of them.

I'm dissapointed in the series but it's funny seeing posts stating how do we lose a series to the Astros.......you are going to lose series to teams worse than you and win series vs teams better than you it is only 3 games.

Yeah Humber needs to be sent down to AAA or take Stewarts place once Danks returns. I know Danks/Floyd have been struggling too but they have the track records to back them up Humber was a flash in the pan.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 12:08 AM) Tomorrow's French Open final has a TON at stake. Can't freaking wait. I'm already happy that Sharapova won the Women's side of things, I really thought Federer would handle Djokivic especially since he had a couple close matches before him. If Nadal loses he needs to rethink things and just remake his game completely to counter Novaks.

That Adam Dunn has definitely only been a C player this season.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 03:05 PM) None of the teams really running through a gauntlet of the NL's best right there... Cincinnati is probably the best out of those teams and thankfully the Sox don't play them Cincy is better than the Dodgers?

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 11:55 AM) Love the Northwestern one. Don't really get Illinois, though. Are there really that many meth labs in the state? I had no idea. I know they cracked down on them but yes Illinois had a ton of meth labs. Not in Chicago area but rest of the state.

For all we know Bale won't be Batman by the end of this next movie, in which case it wouldn't make sense for him to be in the Justice League.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 01:59 PM) Any of you Chicagoans eat at Texas de Brazil? I understand that there is one in town and one in the 'burbs. I've been hitting one up in Memphis that is hands down my favorite restaurant, but I heard one of the Chicago area locations isn't as good. What do? I go to the one in woodfield mall all the time, love me some fried bananas.

How did the ref even say it's off Rondo he was behind the other 2 guys.....

If Quintana keeps pitching well does he take Humbers spot when Danks returns?

One thing the Wsox seemingly do the best in the majors is taking guys with good stuff and making them mlb relievers... this guy seems to follow that and hopefully he will be replacing jesse crain in a few years.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 03:10 AM) There will be an epic meltdown by Greg if Ozzie doesn't win. That was always the "redeeming" quality that our manager had when we weren't winning, he was at least interesting and not plain jane vanilla boring. He got us national press coverage (usually embarassing in nature), but the argument was that he made the White Sox relevant. As someone mentioned, Ozzie's all about himself and his audience. I don't think he would be captivated enough by a single White Sox fan sitting at Applebee's with him to make it a worthwhile experience. Robin just seems a bit more genuine, he has that dry/sarcastic sense of humor...maybe he's just a better human being. Baseball and famel didn't change him negatively like it did Ozzie. He's been the same ever since his rookie year and his 0/41 batting slide after compiling a 58 game hitting streak at OSU. If it was just for beers I'd most definitely go with Ventura... if I want to get hammered drunk the easy choice is Ozzie. So, given the thread title had to choose Ventura.

I skipped the last 4 pages or so, but it really is entertaining to to see someone who clearly is wrong on a subject and probably knows they were were wrong but is so stubborn they won't admit it.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 02:58 AM) Rangers getting spanked around the last couple of games. FWIW I never thought their starting rotation is GREAT (Darvish is good) and thought they were overachieving much. Are they last season's innings coming to play? Really the problem has been Holland. Colby Lewis has been good nothing spectacular but mid 3's era, Harrison has a bloated era from 2 bad starts but for most part solid, and Yu has been good probably going to get better. Holland has been sucking though and Feliz got hurt. Be interesting if they put Feliz back in the rotation or bullpen on his return.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) Wade has looked awful the last two games. Well, its a 2 player team right now and he is the easier of the 2 to take out of a game... not sure why Pacers couldn't manage that.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 03:43 PM) I'd like to see him on the 25 man playoff roster - can't have too many PR's for a short series. Also has left-side pop. Not getting too ahead of myself, am I? I'd imagine if they didnt want Fukudome on the playoff roster the guy filling it would be Danks.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 10:23 PM) Inferno elite mobs = :'( Plague Molten Shielded Reflects Damage mobs in my way...time to create a new game Act 1 is easy... after that the game gets dumb.

Why did Quintana only go 3.2?

I think Steve Stone is a great announcer but it is nice to hear Hawk matched with someone he has chemistry with, I was also sad when thy broke up him and DJ for that reason. I really enjoyed when I think they had a series of Hawk, , DJ, and Ventura in the booth. With Hawk at this stage in his career maybe the 3 man booth is needed.

Is Quintana a legit prospect or is he just a stop gap till Danks returns. He has done well vs Cleveland twice but don't remember seeing his name ever in the minor league board.
