Ugly swing

QUOTE (ron883 @ May 20, 2016 -> 07:20 AM) He said it got blown up. That has been proven to be false. Not sure what is unclear to you. You sound like one of the supporters that will believe anything he says. Um, the current public theory of U.S. officials is that it was taken down by a bomb, but okay.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 20, 2016 -> 12:52 AM) Trump is now being briefed on security since we are this far along in the process, right? It's fairly terrifying for him to still be making this sort of crazy, unsubstantiated claims about global security. NOTHING has been proven yet. Hillary said it was terrorism too. Do you really think people being briefed on national security don't know this yet? There's literally nothing "crazy" about what he said considering it lines up perfectly with what we do know.

When the old post office inevitably goes into development hell, the Sox need to be all over it.

I made a very large bet on this game. I don't make very large bets often. Thank you, Chris Sale.

Arrietta is tenth among pitchers for WAR. He's not close to the best right now. Kershaw is more than double him. He's definitely the best.

Tate's case dismissed. Good. Seemed like BS from what I've heard.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 19, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) Yeah but at least Sands is off the DL Haha perfect.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 19, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) Cubs fans hating Heyward is so predictable Depends on what kind of hate were talking, but it's hard to like a guy rocking a .607 OPS and 185 million on the hook. We're paying Austin Jackson 5 million for that same level of hitting production.

Haha wow that lineup is brutallllll

Phil Jackson resigning. I had a feeling Hornacek was a power play from Isiah Thomas and I believe we're about to find that out. Edit: wait definitely fake la times twitter. f***kk. My bad. Still believe the latter.

Sell everything you own and take that cash to bet it on the White Sox tonight to make a lot more money. That's what I'm doing.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 18, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Moore to come? Seems like that's come to a point where something is about to happen with today's rush of articles on him (even though those articles didn't say anything). And we should hear on Abrams any minute now (not that there should be any drama there). And then I would also expect Nunns situation to be cleared up in the next 24 hours.

Awesome. Oddly busy day for illini basketball news. And maybe more to come.

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 18, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Avila said almost exactly this after the game. “He was directly in front of me and I had to throw over him,” Avila said. “According to the rules there has to be some sort of contact. Problem is, if I throw normal there I smoke him in the head. Next time I’ll just throw it and hit him, but that’s not something I would wanna do. That’s unfortunate that’s how it is. Your reaction is to kind of get out of his way and make the play but next time if there’s a batter in front -- I’d feel bad. “(Correa) was in front of me but (the umpire) said he ducked. He’s 6’4 and I’m 5’10 so there’s still a difference there. He was in front of me. I couldn’t step through it and tried to throw over him. Like I said, next time if that happens again, I’ll just throw it like I normally would.” Is that what we want? Do your jobs, umps. He doesn't need to come in contact. That's not in the rules. Ump was just wrong.

It was pathetic they kept Leron Black. But I don't think there's any chance they keep Nunn with the extra stigma.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 4, 2016 -> 08:52 AM) Nate Silver the statistician needs to fire Nate Silver the pundit. The shine is off his luster now. He read this post and took my advice.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ May 18, 2016 -> 07:31 AM) Umpiring has been really bad league wide, but this year it feels personal against the Sox. I don't remember the last time the Sox won a challenge, seems like every questioned challenge against the Sox they have lost, and have had a couple incidents like last night really hurt the outcome of the game. The home plate upping is far and away the worst I've ever seen. I don't know what has happened there. Did they tell the ups to call a different style or have different emphasis? I cannot explain it. Every game seemingly has resulted in a terrible home plate ump. And to be fair it seems like that is league wide. Not just for the Sox.

QUOTE (harkness @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:12 PM) bad call... but runner wouldnt have been out so inning would have continued. Any batter or runner who has just been put out, or any runner who has just scored, hinders or impedes any fol- lowing play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate From MLB rulebook. I don't see why that doesn't apply. A strikeout is a putout.

Could have been Rollins vs a lefty

Of course

We always get called for interference, even for the slightest thing. Of course we can't get a call go url way though.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:31 PM) Why are we talking about Jerry Sands? Stone mentioned him on the bench

Reminder that Jerry Sands is a wastep of a roster spot.
