QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 04:27 PM) In his defense, he actually has some sneaky speed. Not the stereotypical slow slugger I don't know about you...but I was cringing a little watching him leg out that triple against the Mariners. It was ugly...

Good Lord does that suck...c'mon...2 down in a week. Also...I get the "hustle"...but I'd also let my big lumbering sluggers know....hey...you're not Usain Bolt. Hope the kid can bounce back...but this is pretty depressing.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 05:19 PM) I guess that’s good news right? sounded that way to me....but I wouldn't count on anything just yet. So like The Wolf said.....

“Micker Adolfo reported with some soreness in his arm after some drills the other day,” Hahn said. “We had it examined and unfortunately it revealed a sprain in his ulnar collateral ligament and a strain in his flexor tendon. While that is never good news, the positive side of it is that the tear is on the proximal side, which our doctors have explained to me means rehabilitation has a higher likelihood of working than the normal circumstances where a guy has a UCL tear or tendon tear.” https://theathletic.com/251598/2018/02/23/m...bering-setback/

good god...somebody clean this friggin lens on the CF camera!!!

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 03:32 PM) Not working on Edge or Chrome, and those are the only browsers I have. Also not working on my smart tv browser so idk how anyone is watching lol. i'm running firefox and have adblocker on...so not sure what to tell ya man.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 03:29 PM) Adolfo pitching? Ballsy move considering the elbow

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 03:22 PM) I wonder why the feed is working for some and not for others? Does it have to do with adblock software maybe? I'm trying to run it on my smart tv and getting the same behavior as my PC. try a different browser if you haven't already...sometimes it's as simple as that.

good lord....who's working the camera on the Sox link?!?!? hahaaaaa....drunk bastards. they've missed pretty much every play this inning...

son of a b****...you gotta be kiddin' me?!? can this kid catch a break....

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 02:55 PM) Why isn't my stream working? WTH? yeah...this is a crap feed.

3-run dinger from Anderson!

Cordell is a big guy...didn't realize how big he was. Ripped it to left...

agree with DA...just don't see the point in this at all. Let's just see what this team has...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 06:04 PM) Maybe, but don’t you agree even with a new staff, the Bears are under a lot of pressure to win as much as possible in 2018? I get looking down the road, but IMO there is an urgency here. Kinda yes and no I think. How many teams that finish in last place three years in a row...and bring in a new coach are under pressure to win immediately? Pressure...there's always pressure to win...and of course you "win as much as possible". I think the Bears will be much better...but I'm not sure Nagy will be under pressure. But I'm thinking the Bears will be more loose and open it up on O....seems they'll be "rejuvinated". The D will be fine with a few tweaks and additions. I hope they don't fall into the "we have to be as good as the Rams were last year" trap....

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 04:28 PM) Bears had most $ committed to Guard in the league and were only getting average play. means that money has to count elsewhere, and not just buying crappy depth. Average play?...they got minimal play from Long...and for a $8M cap hit. I think their combined cap hit was around $15M...salary around $11. They'll still be paying quite a bit for the position next year as well no? Long's salary goes down but his cap hit will be 8.8...and I honestly doubt they get squat from him this season. If they sign Norwell...that will be quite a bit as well. They have to do something as the only other guys I think on the roster are Kush and Morgan...I think. Doesn't Nagy come from the coaching tree/philosophy in terms of the line as "inside/out"...meaning stronger G play is more important. I thought I read that somewhere.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 03:33 PM) Bears decline Sitton. seems strange given the fact that Kyle Long is never healthy anymore. Means one of a few things IMO. Bears go hard after Norwell. Bears draft Nelson...or Wynn or Hernandez with 2nd rounder. I saw in the nfl.com article they stated: "Cody Whitehair potentially available to take over Sitton's spot at left guard"....and my thought was "for the love of God...just leave Whitehair alone and at C. I don't even want to see Grasu on the roster next year.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 15, 2018 -> 09:10 AM) Trump tweets this morning to blame the victims and the community for not reporting the shooter. Turns out he had been reported to Trump's FBI back in September. yeah...what's sad is kids from the school were interviewed and they said they all predicted he'd do it...that he'd shoot up the school. It was almost a running joke with them. And honestly...school administrators knew too. What sucks in cases like this...the school never does any proactive things with kids like this for fear of being sued. You can't punish...label a kid as a potential risk...etc. My gal who's a teacher says they can't do squat to these kids. I'll even hear her say sometimes "wouldn't surprise me to see X kid she has" do something like this down the road. I keep reading the kid bought the gun legally...a 19 year old kid can go buy an AR? wtf? I'm as pro gun as they come....but that's absolutely ridiculous.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 15, 2018 -> 09:09 AM) That video...I'm at a loss for words... just gives you a pit in your stomach...my heart just aches for all those kids and parents.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 12, 2018 -> 02:41 PM) Also could be his own drug habit being used against him... in theory. very true...

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Feb 12, 2018 -> 02:34 PM) Wow, good luck in witness protection dude. There's no way he has the fortitude to do the time. He's going to sing. Sounds like he was part of a pretty big operation and you know they want they guys he bought from. I don't know if I'd say "fortitude". He'd be killed in a matter of days I'd bet if he was in that deep with a cartel. Sometimes these guys don't have a lot of choice...it's not like they hit up a cartel member and say, "Hey...got any openings...I'd like to fill out an application...". Sometimes they're forced to. Threats against family members...loved ones...etc... Who knows how/why he got sucked in...

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Feb 9, 2018 -> 02:52 PM) Will the taxpayers be saddled with the bill? I honestly don't get why areas that get heavy tourism dollars aren't more acceptable to dropping a "tourism tax" Dollar or two on a room...or rental car. Can't believe San Diego didn't do that to keep the Chargers. For some reason I think some Maricopa County judge shot down the "tourism tax" after it had been in affect for a while...and said they had to refund money from the car rental/room tax. Said it was "unconstitutional". Not sure how you can randomly describe that particular tax as unconstitutional and not others. I never did get an answer to that.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 31, 2018 -> 11:41 AM) I don't really understand the Madrigal love at all. He's a 2B. Pass. 1. Ethan Hankins 2. Nander de Sedas 3. Brice Turang 4. Shane McClanahan 5. Matt Liberatore People said that about Pedroia too. Madrigal can hit...but yeah...not really much need if he projects at 2B. But he's a definitely good. I've read a few places that Turang has been overrated. Be interested to see what kind of spring he has. I'll admit I hadn't even heard of Nander de Sedas before recently pulling up mocks....but he's as intriguing as anybody I've read up on. Would be awful hard to pass on him IMO. Liberatore's HS in only a few miles from me...so I hope I can get out there a few times and see him. Hopefully get to see Gorman too. If somehow Hankins falls to #4...he'd be awful hard to pass on. Good list...

lol...I read that and immediately wondered who on here asked that? and what his response was...

Pfffffft...what a whiner. Boras has always been part of the problem IMO...then tries to scold owners on how they should run their team after asking for ridiculous amounts of money for his clients the past umpteen years. Then grasps at straws with some 100 year old example hahaaaa...geezus. I'm sure we won't hear this same whine from him next year will we?....
