QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 2, 2017 -> 08:37 PM) Cory Luebke returned tonight for Charlotte, striking out 2 in a scoreless inning. Looking forward to seeing him in Chicago, think he'll be a valuable piece. He's lefty correct?

In home daycare is way to go especially in active neighborhoods where you can get lots of recs. About $5/hr normally.

Tim we need to talk.

After years of KC outclassing us in defense and fundamentals this is kind of a treat.

Is this really Kansas City?!?

LOLOLOL

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2017 -> 08:47 PM) All that said, Avi is having a helluva game and season so far. Keep it up dude. Absolutely.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 2, 2017 -> 08:46 PM) Before he said that, Hawk said "maybe, just maybe". He wasn't guaranteeing it would be the greatest. lol sure. You need to put more caveats around a ridiculous quote like that.

Yeah guys he said when Avi retires in 15 years they'll say it was the greatest trade in white Sox history. It's absurd no matter the context.

Avi walk.

What context is he missing?

Avi is our Yaz

Hawk sounds better today

What an effort by Yolmer

Dems always think the resume of a candidate matters. Just see who gets people to respond.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 2, 2017 -> 04:43 PM) Yup. All of us(including myself) should have read the article before commenting. Whoops. I think the title and formatting kinda led us to answer.

I didn't read the rest of the posts but I assume everyone answered Yes.

Hmm...he didn't make it very easy to be on the "draft wasn't that bad" camp.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ May 2, 2017 -> 11:10 AM) Agreed. It's quite the echo chamber. Add to that people are writing stories about Pace getting swindled and you get a very Bears heavy draft cycle. It's a little ridiculous, though IMHO This is one of those "we know the bears are guilty of doing something stupid, so let's find every piece of evidence and push it in that framing" scenario. Listen - I think there is a higher probability than normal that this is a terrible draft, but in my mind that's 100% because we only had 5 picks. We just can't be in those scenarios. But a perfect example of this is the "John Lynch didn't even know what the bears were doing" ergo the bears were operating stupidly. But reality is the Bears could have been played much worse if they knew bears were after Trubisky. They could have parlayed the "Bears are gonna draft Trubisky, so if you want him you need to pay up" to all the QB leaning teams. Instead they may have "gotten played" but people are so over the top with this "THEY GAVE UP A MOUNTAIN OF PICKS". Had they given up a future first or 2nd, it's crucifiable. But 3rds are basically right. Even with no leverage, the 49ers would be stupid to give it away for less.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ May 1, 2017 -> 11:12 PM) Our notoriously frugal president probably just doesn't like that the dinner is a charity event. He can take the insults - bigly. But those poor kids can pay for their own schooling. The WHCA gives money to those great charities that are so great that they can't articulate what the charity does.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 2, 2017 -> 09:03 AM) Like bmags had said earlier, the one problem I had was that they invited him to the team draft party. If they knew they were making a big splash at QB, then it's a really s***ty look to force him to be there. Other than that, I agree with you. He took the most guaranteed money offered to him, the Bears front loaded the deal so they could cut him after one year. Anybody with a hint of knowledge in sports business could see that coming a mile away. Also there was one original article that had the "felt like he was cheated on" line, and now 1000 articles all saying "Glennon felt cheated on, bears are so stupid" that are just based off of the original article. Kind of amplifying something dumb.

Not going to the WHCD was my favorite thing Trump has done.

I think that Glennon = mad story is 100% just being blindsided when you are at an OFFICIAL EVENT. It's like when the 76ers brought Michael Carter-Williams to the draft and then drafted Payton. Set him up to get interviewed right after. It's just an easily avoidable, crappy thing to do.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 1, 2017 -> 04:24 PM) Is that what happened to Avi? No problems giving him the day off and really no problem with May getting the ABs. It's just a shame the Sox don't have another intriguing OF like Avi to give some ABs to in a rebuild. Guess they want Garcia down in AAA playing every day. Said he had a tightness in groin area. Nothing serious, but probably a wet surface and why risk it.

As long as May is on the team he will play, especially when one of our outfielders had a tight muscle yesterday.
