Awful first period. Lucky to be in a tie game, though it could have looked much different had the officials dinged McQuaid for roughing as he punched the s*** out of Stalberg

Terrible officiating and a terrible turnover leads to goal

WHAT THE f***? MCQUAID WAS THROWING f***ING PUNCHES

BOOYAH

My god that interference call

ADA leads off with a bomb.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 04:52 PM) I like the idea of Olt. I think he has been substantially overrated and I think the Rangers know that, so I think he might actually be attainable. A ton of his value comes from his solid defense at third, which would be great for us but is useless to the Rangers as long as Beltre is around. The bat doesn't play at first. Why are you convinced his bat doesn't play at first? He had a 1.000 OPS in AA last season. He certainly isn't likely to do that in the big leagues, but if you get him you're hoping he looks like the guy that was on a 50 HR pace last year.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 04:38 PM) What Sony posted should be the same for Xbox. Both companies are always subject to the licensing agreement of the developer. Thus EA can make someone pay $5 for Madden Online if they really want to and Xbox/Sony arent going to get involved. Or EA can make a game that wont work if its not online, and Sony/Xbox wont get involved. Why would they? Its your call whether to buy an EA game, and if people hate this so much, it would probably behoove EA not to put any silly restrictions on it. But yeah, at least Xbox was able to see the terrible train wreck and avoid it. Which is good for us all because now Sony will have to still compete with xbox and Ill get my Ps4 cheaper. The real question is how many people got the old info and never end up getting the revised info? It's always hard to change a story that gets spread around, ask every politician ever.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 04:38 PM) In case Peralta gets a 50 game suspension I'm surprised no one has suggested Matt Adams, 1B from the Cardinals That's been discussed, at least by me. That would be the type of player I'd advocate trying to get.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 04:03 PM) Tonight's game doesn't know what happened the past 2 games. Irrelevant. So can I see the Hawks losing one game tonight? Of course. Yep. First rule of statistics Or second. One of the rules!!

Dunn in June - 21.4% K rate. Season - 31.7%, lowest pace as a White Sox

I'd like to see PS4 answer back by re-re-clarifying their DRM policy, because if what is posted is true they become more restrictive. At least they would still let me stream movies, White Sox for free and it costs a hundred less up front.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 02:01 PM) So we head back to what was dominating the LA Kings and should have never changed. In the shootaround. Bickell - Toews - Kane Sharp - Handzus - Mayers Hossa Saad - Shaw - Stalberg Kruger - Bolland - Frolik Those top 3 lines are just ridiculous. This is perfect, pretty much how I would have lined them up. To me, Bickell isn't a real first-liner but pairs up with those two really well.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 01:08 PM) I said his ceiling was a "solid leadoff hitter" which is exactly what you described. I never called him a "franchise changing" anything. I'm not exactly sure what we're arguing here. Sounds like we're debating what "high" means

Wes Lunt sitting out a year may be too long to save Beckman's job.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 06:34 PM) Watched ZDT over the weekend, literally fell asleep for a few minutes at one point. Boring movie, there really wasn't a story there. The final kill sequence was well done, but they didn't execute well anywhere. I felt like it was decent, but given the story, decent was the worst you could do. It was indeed rather boring, usually a film that is so disjointed will at least seem to move quickly...but no.

If they can rejuvenate it, I don't care if it's hipsters, progressives, old white gamblers, a fortress for gun rights activists, whatever. Better than having it sit there and rot.

Congress receives report on the value of education in humanities While BO has been a fairly pro-education President, his stress on science education and general vocational education has been worrying. Bush did this as well, which is less surprising. Everything is important and the humanities are valuable to those who are going into the vocations that require specific training like engineering as well as the vocations that do not. Some good things about pedagogy in higher education as well, such as a need to put teaching on equal footing with research and for top researchers to teach courses that aren't just supplements to their research interests. When I was choosing colleges, I found complaints from students at many top schools about this; professors were either entirely absent in place of TAs or were detached lecturers rambling on about their current or past research.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 06:01 PM) What do you think his ceiling is? 4th OF? If so, he shouldn't even be considered a top 20 prospect. No, his ceiling is certainly a starting outfielder but not exactly a franchise changing one. At his best you'd expect a fairly high average, but probably not .300. He should take walks, though, so an adequate OBP. I don't think anyone sees him even hitting 10 HRs, but that would probably be a max HR output. He should spray some doubles and triples and ideally swipe 40-50 bags with good defense. That's a not a value-less player by any stretch, but a secondary contributor on a good team. Alejandro is not the worst comparison, but ADA has more power and is not such a good base stealer.

I'm done counting on Miami and counting out San Antonio. I don't know what will happen in Game 7. With that said, the end of that game was not good to watch. It was a bunch of hacking, turning over, chucking, and choking. One team won because someone has to win.

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 11m The Heat had 8 2nd-chance points in 44 minutes with Duncan on court. They had 9 2nd-chance points in 9 minutes with Duncan on the bench.

QUOTE (DOWNTOWN PANTHER @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 11:37 PM) With as bad as the White Sox are you would think that they would be bringing up some of these guys for a look. Charlie Leesman may not be #1 on their radar, but the dude keeps striking fools out. He had another 8 ks tonight. Get this dude up to Chicago!! Y not???? Youre losing to the Twins and Astros. What is there to lose???? Well, for one, our pitching staff has been pretty great. We already have more MLB starters than we know what to do with.

That was probably a foul too if it occurred at any other point in the game
