QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 04:05 PM) I think the Rock will be on Raw tonight, unveiling whatever the hell hell be doing for Mania. But I'm reading in between the lines because again wrestling press is terrible. Can't wait to be one of like three people to boo that man at mania.

Not a pretty finish but still a pretty easy W for the shocks. Still have to make more shots going forward.

FGCU doesn't look completely overmatched. Hope they can keep it close for the 2nd half.

Wichita State, Oklahoma, Kentucky, MSU. MSU over Boomer.

Had them in my ATS pool, that counts, right?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 10:48 PM) Kids in the clubhouse and on the field? Last time I looked they were called batboys and batgirls. Youngsters. Eaton said the players supported the kid and Adam. I find it ironic as one of Adam's biggest 'haters' on the site I am thoroughly in his corner on this. It's not like players don't have their kids hanging around all the time. The hypocracy of doing this to a guy who was a complete flop is amazing. I mean, if LaRoche wasn't a complete flop and actually hit .280 with 30 homers last year and 100 RBIs, you don't think this would have gotten solved? I would be in favor of the Sox reconciling the matter NOW and inviting him back and saying the kid is welcome everywhere but the kid can only be in the actual clubhouse around the batboys. He must hang out with the other kids most of the time. http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...tuesday-meeting So you're making assumptions to call someone hypocritical? I don't think it works that way.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 04:54 PM) 2016 Chicago White Sox: Civil War. Doesn't sound like a great movie.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 04:31 PM) Adam Laroche really seems like he's likely an annoying guy....die-hard hunter, country, Duck Dynasty, holy roller, etc......a guy like this doesn't see things rationally, like a suggestion from your boss to not bring your kid to work everyday isn't seen as a reasonable request but rather an assault on FAMILY VALUES! As with most people who feel that life is one big, emotional country ballad about god, guns, and family, Adam feels that taking this brave stand is standing up for 'Murica. Just look at what his buddy posted about "good and evil". Good riddance. Except everyone loves him so there's that.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 03:00 PM) Totally get the Sox on this. Professional and reasonable request. Also totally get LaRoche on this. If this is the way he wants it done, and his office doesn't allow it, he can make a choice. Lots of noise on this, but in the end, I have no problem with either side. Agreed.

Happy WSU was able to right themselves the last 10 minutes of the game. Baker needs to hit shots going forward and they'll be dangerous. If he keeps struggling like he has been of late then the next game will probably be he and Van Vleet's last.

Shane needs to start writing his promos on his wrist, holy hell that was bad. And yes, that show sucked. Badly.

In Roman's defense nobody is getting any reaction at all as this crowd is just dead. But the show has sucked too so there's that.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 04:09 PM) I hope they get in because they are definitely better than every other bubble team I just don't think the committee will put them in unfortunately because their resume is so weak. I'm obviously 100 percent biased towards the Valley so I want them in too but I'm not going to lose it if they don't get in. I do think it's interesting to see how serious the committee is about using Kenpom and the Sagarin ratings considering they grade out super well in both of those.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Their resume with VanVleet is still crap. They are a really good team that has a s*** resume even with VanVleet missing some games. Off the top of my head they're basically 1-1 against sure fire at large teams with him, beat Utah and lost to SH. They lost to Tulsa with him playing most of the game and those other early season losses came with out him, Frankamp and Grady for one or two of them. Then they won the valley but also have the Ill State and two UNI losses with him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) Their losses without VanVleet will get excused It wasn't just Van Vleet for the early season losses but they lost some games in conference they shouldn't have either. Like I said earlier, Kenpom loves them, rpi doesn't and as was mentioned before no one is going to want to play them. They're a super interesting case.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) So Wichita St. is the team I'm most curious to see whether they get in the tourney. Their resume is garbage but that is a legitimately really good basketball team which would be a terrifying 11 or 12 seed. Got the Utah win and that's about it. Kenpom loves them too and supposedly the committee does look at that stuff now. I'm with you, I'm intrigued to see what happens with them.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 01:53 PM) I saw Renee Young here yesterday for SXSW, took a photo as she was filming so I'll have to upload at some stage. Lucky.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 12, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) Watched a bit of Roadblock. Crowd absolutely dead, especially during Sami match Hot at the beginning, they got strange as the show went on including CM Punk chants. I'm a big fan of Sami and Cody but that match was super slow in the crowd's defense. Ambrose and HHH was super fun with the obvious ending.

Cinci-UConn might be the craziest game of all time.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 07:06 PM) Gossage with Waddle and Silvy http://espn.go.com/espnradio/chicago/play?id=14946879 He sounds like a crazy person. This dude is a nut job.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 06:19 PM) The Ivy League finally joining the dark side, will have a conference tournament beginning next season. Only going to be 4 teams though.
