The manager is not the problem. In fact, I don't really think there are very big problems.

I've converted several people at my college to become White Sox (and baseball, even) fans based a great deal on Hawk Harrelson. They love watching games when he's broadcasting and they are always disappointed when the Sox are on a national broadcast. If my girlfriend misses a game, she always wants me to play her the home run highlights so she can hear the call. He's fun, get over it.

Can't we require that these people seek work?

So. I have a torn labrum and infraspinatus in my right shoulder (the one I throw with). I have a torn RC in my left shoulder (perhaps from training with a torn labrum in the other shoulder). I also have a herniated disc in my low back. The amount of productive things I can do in the weight room right now is sadly low. Arms and the sissiest of leg exercises, basically.

I remember when our season was over and stuff

He didn't lie, he just said that he isn't interested in trying to gain their votes. This suggests that he won't be helping them, especially since he went on to broadly characterize them as basically leeches.

I get irritated with the costs of preventative care like simple visits to the doctor, different tests like colonoscopy, etc. Why should my parents be paying out of pocket for things that will likely save the insurance money down the line?

I imagine that sunofgold uses the best kinds of drugs

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 18, 2012 -> 03:02 PM) So your justifying why you're voting for the lesser of two evils. Got it. Religious people do this same exact thing. lol, but I don't find them to be evil. If evil = less than perfect, then sure. I don't perceive this to be "all candidates will hurt the country upon taking office, I have to choose the one that will hurt it least." I think the candidate I choose will make the country better.

I often post on a baseball recruiting website and was speaking to a scout there. There was a discussion about social media and its effect on recruiting and he mentioned that the White Sox had fully infiltrated Courtney Hawkins' twitter, facebook, etc. and even went so far as to send people to check out the meanings of various postings. Very interesting depth of scouting, IMO

I grow a blonde mustache, which is easily the creepiest color. It almost sneaks up on you.

I don't think I'm voting for the lesser of two evils. I think they're both good men and fully intend to do a good job. I think one has a terrible philosophy. The other I admire, even if he doesn't or hasn't implemented it to my exact expectation.

Is this where I claim that every politician sucks so that everyone knows how realistic I am?

Why is it that everything either candidate does "won't change anyone's vote"? Something has to change them or there wouldn't be turnover in these elections!

I can't imagine how the referees could want so much money that this is worth it to the league.

My powerlifting and bodybuilding friends both swear by Inov-8s. They're in the MSRP range of the shoe you just mentioned, might be worth a look. I don't have a pair so I won't vouch for them, but you should check 'em out.

I like to think of Lovie as an optimist

Is it possible for me to use mlb.tv to view tomorrow's game after its finished w/o seeing the score?

The most users ever at this website was over 700 on July 16, 2007. I can't for the life of me figure out what happened on this day that is interesting.

I love that the tech thread has gotten spicy

Just win the games. The White Sox can worry about how much money they have. Any word on how much cash we got from Houston?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 15, 2012 -> 12:03 PM) Anyone have Sale's numbers when he's on at least 5 days rest? They have to be insane. His ERA was something like 3.3x with a very good record. A little better on normal rest, but sample sizes

Reed did a good job of walking people instead of letting them hit bombs
