Didn't really see this one coming.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 11:48 AM) I don't think he is even very much like Manziel, from the off the field perspective, either. Ya, he's much worse.

He's 6'0, 215 right now and running a 4.4? Good god that's insane.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) We're old now Row. Embrace it. I was talking with a couple people yesterday who didn't know what cassette tapes were so I know I'm old ha.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 08:46 AM) And my generation has officially become those old people that complain how much harder they had it. My Facebook feed is filled with "Schools never closed when we were young, these kids are so spoiled!" Yup, same here. The "kids these days" crowd bother the hell out of me.

With out looking at his numbers was Jim Edmonds really that good? Always seemed like a good not great player to me but like I said, I haven't looked at any of his stats.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 6, 2015 -> 12:46 PM) I was there for the whole thing and remember none of it. Home Opener v cub game is a no brainer. 37K die hards v 5K die hards. I'll take the home opener every day and twice on Tuesday. I was only 18 at the time and by myself so I remember all of it. Saw a great fight on the concourse during the rain delay, all in all a very entertaining night out!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 6, 2015 -> 08:13 AM) Bob Nightengale gets it, this sums up my thoughts completely http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2...emens/21290463/ I completely agree with what he says in that article, don't agree with his ballot though.

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Jan 6, 2015 -> 08:12 AM) if you remember 2006, that 2 hour rain delay... and Jim Thome's epic tater into right-center FTW. Made sure to check the Sportscenter highlight for Jon Miller's homer call. I was one of like 8 people to stay for that entire game. Good times.

Steph is amazing no matter what you think of that segment. I just watched that segment and she had me laughing through out.

So I'm off of work early today and don't work until 1 tomorrow so I think I'm going to get about 10 episodes of Friday Night Lights in tonight. Complete binge watch.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 05:53 PM) Couldn't have happened to a better guy. You ready to kill the New Years Resolutioners yet?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 11:04 AM) I think a lot of that money possibly just went to Bonifacio, unfortunately. I agree but everytime we think the Sox are done spending they've added someone else so who knows.

Another solid move.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 08:00 AM) Did you survive? I'm alive. It was a fun 4 days but I got back to real life yesterday.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 3, 2015 -> 02:00 PM) Anyone who has room on their ballot for Sammy Sosa or Mark McGwire is an idiot. Why?

Day 3 of binge drinking, ya this is still fun.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 31, 2014 -> 06:47 AM) Because I'm so good at predictions: CAR over ARI BAL over PIT IND over CIN DAL over DET NE over BAL IND over DEN SEA over CAR DAL over GB NE over IND SEA over DAL NE over SEA I'll Play: Car over Ari Pit over Bal Cin over Indy Dal over Det NE over Cin Pit over Den Sea over Car GB over Dal NE over Den Sea over GB Sea over NE

7 more hours of work and then I wont be sober for 3 days straight. Yaaaa buddy.

Didn't watch a minute of Raw last night but real happy to hear that Bryan is back.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 03:16 PM) Its just crazy to me that for the last two years we have been reading J4L going "HAHAHA JIMMY BUTLER IS LAME HAHAAHA NO SUPERSTARS FOR YOU" and now Jimmy Butler is becoming a bonafide superstar right before our eyes. And I do math bad. 20M Better than anyone could have expected. SIU peoplez are smrt.

Just give Jimmy all the awards. ALL OF THEM!

Trestman gone too.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 11:33 AM) I got some suggestions for the OP if he's looking for some "funny personalities". Ever heard of Comedy Channel? They got some funny bits on there. My favorite comedian these days is Louis C.K., I think he ought to make you laugh once or twice. In general, baseball compared to basketball or football does not offer the same personalities or enigmas. If you've been watching baseball for 60 years, and you care more about personality, funny bits, from your manager during post game conferences than anything, then I think you've been doing something wrong for 60 years. Louis CK for manager?

QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Dec 26, 2014 -> 11:08 AM) I may be new here, but I ain't no whippersnapper and I ain't no troll. I started watching/listening to White Sox baseball when I was about 9 or 10yrs old and this Feb I will be 69yrs old. I seen every manager from the 50s to date and Ventura is one of the worse we have had. Yes, personality does count, and he has zero, you want the Sox to be front page of the funny papers? You gotta have a spokesman who commands attention. Remember Ditka? The best part of those years was watching him, he kept the team in the funnies. Most of you guys are still wet behind the ears compared to me, so please don't opine me that I don't know what I'm talking about. thanks, douglas You call in to sports radio a lot, don't you?
