QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 03:33 PM) That's WGN local, not WGN America. The only overlap programming between the two are sporting events and the evening news. WGN evening news actually did show up in other states. But yeah I'm a WGN morning man, myself.

I'm pretty happy with .500 considering our 3-5 starters this year. (And 2-5 during Sales injury).

Agree with everyone, I feel like I've been reading weaknesses on players for 4 months and only in past week have I come around on each's strength. I feel ecstatic with Rodon, and happy with Aiken, Kolek and even Nola.

That curve had nice snap but a bit too high

Hi flowers.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 03:21 AM) 26.6% K% for Kris Bryant could stand to go significantly down. No need to rush him when he has an obvious thing to work on. In our system that's a good K rate.

Man do Dodgers have any players on a rookie contract on offense? They are like the All 2008 team.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 03:34 AM) I agree not one GM in a open draft would take Alexi over Tulo. Hawk sounds so stupid on this tangent. Eh that doesn't matter to me, apparently no GM would take Sale ever either.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 03:29 AM) What did he say, I have Vin Basically that McGwire is a gentleman and he only took that to get over a foot injury and it was legal and that was only reason why!! Stone: he was awfully skinny that first year

Oh my god hawk. Oh my god. Really??

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 03:15 AM) Hahahaha this guy is a f***in joke. I said the same damn thing out loud.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 12:15 AM) http://sports.yahoo.com/news/minor-develop...-152256212.html Yahoo on pitchers Unrelated to article I said 2 weeks ago Marlins like Jackson............7 of top 10 prospects of the Marlins system are pitchers. Marlins want a position player this year IMO. If Miami takes a pitcher, I would be shocked. They could always trade pitchers for hitting prospects.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 09:08 PM) It does affect Reinsdorf. This is his business. Like it or not, if his players all had long hair and long scraggly beards it will affect their reputation to a good amount of people. Their reputation is huge when it comes to gaining or losing corporate sponsors. Is this the 60s? Long hair and facial hair represent nothing at this point.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) This. My problem is with people acting like they are the world's biggest Hawks fans, but they know absolutely nothing about the game and don't care to try, as referenced above. They then make going to games annoying, as they are getting up in the middle of play, taking selfies, talking loudly out of their ass, and killing time between OMG CHELSEA DAGGER. That's when it's a bigger issue for the true fans. People use the Hawks to feel better about themselves. So be it. It's the same for any bandwagon. I'm so cool because I'm a Hawks fan and I can wear this Kane jersey. Look at me! And when the Hawks go down the tubes again at some point, which they inevitably will, they'll be nowhere to be found. I think one issue though is this is the majority of Chicago sports fans. You are describing BEars fans to me. They wouldn't be better had they followed their whole lives.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 06:56 PM) One of the most well written articles I've ever read, and it's a comedy piece about a video game: http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2014/6/3/57727...h-of-basketball I was in tears laughing at the end. So good. I remember the Breaking Madden from january had me stifling laughter in my office. Excited for this one.

I can't believe he is 225 lbs. That is some serious build at that age.

That edmonton board looks sweet. I wish we'd copy that style. edit: maybe flaming baseballs instead of flaming pucks to show a HOT new sports topic.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 04:21 AM) I believe there was a scouting report coming out of Cuba that he could hit, but mainly just "garbage" Ah so it's no new comments.

Out of curiosity what are the garbage hitter comments referring to?

This man is incredible. I can't believe what I'm seeing.

Watch Boston pitchers pitch and then tell me the game's pace is fine.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 08:19 PM) They don't care about the guy that goes to a game here and there, it affects the season ticket holders greatly though as well as tv viewership. They have to make it where the expectation is to get the game over in 2:45 or less I would definitely be open to more weekday games if I knew they could end at 9:45 and not 10:30.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 08:12 PM) Bmags, all the umps have to do is enforce the 12 second rule, and the rule where batters can't leave the box, but they won't do it. They should all be fired and start over with umps. They are the one organization that does whatever the f*** they want to do. It amazes me. But when the umps do enforce this rule people talk about them going on powertrips. There really is no good way to do it. Put a dang shot clock behind the guy, limit the amount of trips to the mound, get the game moving.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 08:47 PM) The game itself is fine, though I hate 3:30 baseball for nine inning games. I wish they would enforce some of the rules about the speed of the game a bit better. Other than that, I am OK with it. They have to cut down the time. Have to. I don't know what best way is to speed up pitchers, but it needs to be done.

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 05:53 PM) Seems like trading from our middle infield depth for a Competitive Balance pick makes the most sense, I wonder if L. Garcia or Saladino could net a Comp. Balance B pick from a team looking for a pro-ready utility guy. Saladino seems like a good fit with the Rays and Cards style of play, nothing flashy but solid all-around baseball skills. I doubt a player we are talking about cutting from our terrible AAA team will net a top 50 pick.
