When was the last time the sox did not make a deal in the regular season?

Pacers, Nuggets, Phoenix, Memphis and Portland all have good management and built those teams largely with only 1 top 5 pick and then finding gold in 8-15.

There are small market teams that are managed well that do contend with deep teams. If you have good management, you can contend in the NBA. If you have bad management, all the draft picks in the world won't save you.

Also basketball is just different with one player being so important to future of the franchise.

Man, Cowley just did so great on the KLove beat.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 02:31 PM) At your age I'd say Wrigleyville or Lincoln Park would work well too party-wise, but they might be a bit pricier than the West/South Loop. Either location gives you easy CTA access to work. I agree with this for a different reason. One, you are 23 and your idea of a nice place is skewed enough to think the s***hole housing stock of lakeview is live able. But second, it's more dense, there are more grocery stores that are walkable. It's just a lot easier when you first live there. Then you'll move to the better neighborhoods.

What was unrealistic about the emotional experiences? I thought the criticism of realism and not much happens were more common.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 11:28 PM) It is pathetic that everyone has pretty much given Trout the MVP already. Why?

Oh you guys. Act like there are better things to talk about. I'm reading every damn article about how shea mclellin looks like a natural and derrick rose dunks. It's summer.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) I think we can get a similar return for Danks or maybe better if we take some salary No no no, the first rule of being a white sox fan is thinking that a comparable deal can be had only to be told the million reasons why the very similar player is never as valuable as the other player that was traded.

Wow tearing your UCL while rehabbing your back. That sucks.

Well, much better Q2 at 4% growth, and q1 revised down to -2.1

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 02:37 AM) I'm thinking about grabbing tickets to the USA exhibition at the united center. I'm going. $40 for 300 level, not bad. Should be fun.

Would love to see a cardinals fans head explode at the last 20 comments.

Man, if only Viciedo had not struck out on three pitches and not even make contact on two swings. He could have tied the game with a double play to short or second base.

Wow, I stopped following and missed that he really didn't sign. Best of luck to him.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 02:12 PM) You do realize if a Minnesota pitcher came in wearing a rubber band and had a couple of pounds of rosin on his forearm, he would have asked for it to be removed? Can someone explain the advantages to these things?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 09:55 AM) Saw pics of him in Vegas yesterday. He looks in shape to me. Sheridan predicts Rose won't make the US roster. I could obviously see that and understand but would suck just because I want him playing and getting his mojo back before the season. We'll see, he doesn't own that spot, but he's not the defensive sieve that some of his competition is.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2014 -> 11:49 PM) Random alert: Is Jabari Parker getting fat? He looks huge to me. I know. I think Milwaukee just adds 50 pounds to an athlete.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 27, 2014 -> 09:11 PM) Robin cost us another game today with his idiotic moves and its getting frustrating. As I noted in yesterday's game thread, I feel he's personally cost us at least 15 games this season. Instead of having the best record in baseball, we are struggling to reach .500. If he's not the worst, he has to be in the bottom 5 of all time. I really hope this organization realizes that in the final months of season and makes a change before opening day 2015.

There are some games where I agree robin messed up. This is one of those games where his correct decisions didn't work out so children convince themselves they were incorrect decisions by a stupid baby idiot

LOL running away with the division,

Had the 3 hitters ahead of beckham make that same hit it's a tie game.

Terrible. Terrible job by de aza and Viciedo.
