  1. QUOTE (oldsox @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 07:33 PM) I wonder if there is any chance they keep both Saladino and Sanchez, and let Rollins go. Why in the world would they do that? Rollins has looked solid this spring
  2. That's absolutely the opening day lineup, and you can see the final spot is between Sands, Sanchez and Ishikawa
  3. I don't get the fascination with Ishikawa at all. No way should he be your DH and batting 6th to start the season.
  4. QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 01:30 PM) How was last night's show? Had fantasy draft all night. Eva Marie's crowd reaction was something needed to be seen
  5. I would be shocked if Avi isn't the starter opening day. I dislike how much this organize seemingly overrates Shuck and now Ishikawa.
  6. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 11:12 PM) Javon Bess leaving MSU as well. College Bball is hilarious now. AAU and transfers have changed the game. Transfers has ruined college hoops
  7. I guess he's tipping his pitches again today Sox starting pitching is more troubling to me than the offense by far heading into the season.
  8. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 01:50 PM) Some big news story is about to break or something. Doesn't sound good. Here's some more context, and I'll use that loosely. "A major wrestling related story that has hidden beneath the surface is starting to poke its head out of the water,and is going to break soon" -Joe Lanza of Pro Wrestling Voices. "Building a shelter for when this story breaks." -JJ Williams of the Wrestling Observer More from Lanza: "Seems the Tweet I made from my personal account has caused quite the stir. I will address it here, and then never address it again. I am not a journalist and have never claimed to be. I do a podcast, write reviews, and a few times per year when the situation is right, our site or our podcast will break the occasional news story (the infamous Dixie email, Steen signing with WWE, Ibushi to EVOLVE/Kaiju, Candice/GFW no show drama, PWS stuff, the end of DGUSA, etc). We are not and have never claimed to be a news site. Tons of hard news & rumors finds our DM box that we choose to sit on, and there are people reading this right now who know full well that we (myself & Rich) sit on TONS of "scoops", especially when specifically asked not to speak about it. If we wanted to be a news site or hunt for cheap clicks, we could very easily do so. The story I Tweeted about has been cooking for months, and somehow stayed quiet. It is now making the rounds, and being hinted about publicly. I am not going to break it. I have no interest in breaking it for a variety of reasons. It would drive CLICKS for sure, but it isn't my place to report it and it isn't what we do here. My belief is that it will come out soon because the person has enemies (to be fair, who doesn't?) who will find a some pleasure in outing it. That won't be me. People are running wild with it on places like Wreddit. Your mileage on the word "major" may vary. I feel like it's a major story because it involves someone who works full time in the wrestling business and reputation(s?) will be ruined. Some may not consider it a "major" story. There are people who will read this who are aware of the situation. This is not me asking them to back me up or to out themselves. In fact, I prefer that they don't confirm or break it here, because I want no connection to this for a number of reasons. I may have underestimated the power of Twitter or my own reputation as a news source in peoples eyes when I made the Tweet. I made it from my personal account, and figured my friends would see it and didn't think it would cause much of a stir. That was stupid, but at this point it's whatever, because the toothpaste cant be put back in the tube. I won't ever speak about it again. If/when (more like when) it comes out, I'm not going to claim to have broken it, or confirm it as being what I was talking about or anything like that. I made the Tweet, I have to own that, but I want nothing to do with actually breaking the news or claiming I instigated it breaking. If I was interested in that, I'd simply write the story and publish it here. So that's that. Sorry for working everybody up. And I said this on Twitter, but I'll say it here too. If you followed me based on that tweet, you are welcomed to stick around, but I am never tweeting a follow up and I almost never tweet about wrestling. That account is extremely boring unless you like college basketball and Reds baseball. Might as well unfollow. I wasn't looking for cheap Twitter follows." Did they kick out Daniel Bryan's son from the locker room and that's really why he retired?
  9. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 01:12 PM) Vandy and St Louis want him really badly as well. I haven't heard anything this week, which makes me think something is up. My guess is Vandy goes after King Rice
  10. QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 01:15 AM) Unbelievable choke job. Bennett with a horrendous coaching job and Virginia did a terrible job handling the press and attacking the zone down the stretch. Yep, Bennett let Cuse for the tempo
  11. 17 of last 25 hitters have reached off of Latos. He's not facing minor league hitters in B games.
  12. QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 27, 2016 -> 09:20 PM) Why? If he's better than Danks/EJ/Latos/Turner at any point in April, he should start. He's just not a big league starter. Still not sure why they put so much confidence into Turner coming into camp.
  13. QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 27, 2016 -> 10:07 PM) Bases clearing triple for Ishikawa. Helps his cause. He will make the team, IMO
  14. QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 27, 2016 -> 08:54 PM) Carroll stays as the 4th and Kahnle makes the team too. 3 on the bench. Carroll starting games in April would be a huge fail by the org
  15. QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 27, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) Fulmer is going to be up before June. Starting to think Latos to the DL. Who's the 5th starter?
  16. Latos giving up a ton of base runners. Have to wonder if he's even on the roster come May
  17. Interesting comment by Ventura https://mobile.twitter.com/CST_soxvan/statu...187108697518080
  18. Latos getting roughed up again. Not a big fan of not making him earn his spot in the rotation. https://mobile.twitter.com/BerniePleskoff/s...186442230996992
  19. Went to that MITB show. Crowd was absolutely insane. Too bad the Punk stuff was horrible as soon as that PPV ended
  20. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 27, 2016 -> 02:55 AM) I guess it's a trip but who ever makes that call? Could have just called the travel on him
  21. Not the best foul call on Graham at the end
  22. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 25, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) She is probably preggo Supposedly not it either as she was doing some wrestling training
