QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 14, 2014 -> 04:22 PM) One of the many reasons I think the biggest priority for the next commissioner, outside of the labor agreement, is speeding up the pace of baseball. Drop replay, put in some serious regulations to increase the action / speed. IIRC, the length of a baseball game today vs. 40 years ago is significantly longer. I'm sure part of that is commercial breaks (although those existed back in the day too). However, since 1970, the average baseball game has increased by approximately 30 minutes (from roughly 2.5 hr's to almost 3hr's). There are also more pitching changes now, I'm going to presume, then 30 or 40 years ago, however, I'd go to more extreme's to limit the amount of pitches and the total amount of time you can take during pitching changes and also potentially alter rules for mound visits in an inning. Maybe truly cap it at 1 per inning vs. current rules which can allow multiple in an inning (presuming the 2nd time you visit each pitcher you are pulling them). I agree in theory but baseball is just slow no matter what you do to speed it up.

Wait...this really bothers people? I've been tired of Hawk for years but good god the oversensitivity of people now a days is absurd.

Update: he's really good.

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) Rodon, Montas, Adams, and Danish are exciting. We haven't had a collection of pitching talent like this in the system at once since 2000-01. Hopefully this group fairs better. And to think, not too long ago Erik Johnson was our prized pitching gem. Extremely exciting. Not only are they all putting up terrific numbers but all of them have ridiculously good arms. Good times.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 08:34 AM) You have to wonder if Jose got the cold shoulder after that one. Tension in the dugout? Could Abreu request a trade? WHO WILL JERRY REINSDORF CHOOSE? Obviously his man, Robin. Abreu will be waiver traded this month. You heard it here first. With his unwillingness to listen to the manager you think he'd pass through waivers semi easily so we should be able to trade him to any team.

Ya Sale is good.

Ya but what about the hit?

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 12, 2014 -> 03:18 PM) Kinda surprised they want him with his body type. I think the fact that he's got a husky body type like Bray(no pun intended) instead of a guy like Chris Hero who just kind of looks skinny fat is a huge difference.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 12, 2014 -> 02:03 PM) That homer he hit off Guardado was awesome. I remember freaking out in my living room at the time. Thomas came up the next inning, hit a long one foul and then hit a long one fair. Ha ya, I knew that'd be the first comment, I'll never forget that game either.

Lets talk about Konerko's 2003 season, just because...

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 05:23 AM) Meh. I'm glad there is a heated rivalry between the two teams. Don't see it much. Even Red Sox/Yankees has gone soft the past few years. Ya, I like this kind of stuff. Doesn't hurt anybody and you're not supposed to like the team you're in a pennant race with. Works for me.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 10:11 PM) Scott Hall looked and sounded good. No pills or booze That was a fun throw back there and he seemed clean which is great to see. I'm always worried anytime he's on screen.

I popped a bit when Brock's music hit. And then Cena makes me want to kick puppies.

Continuing tonight and getting worse.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 08:52 PM) Cesaro is in such a weird place. The fans like him too much for him to be a real heal, and he doesn't have the mic skills to be a real face(Sadly that matters). I really hope he gets pushed somewhere down the line. Somehow working him into a feud with Brock would be awesome....He'll probably just end up being as a better version of ADR. A guy who kinda randomly gets put in big matches despite not really being part of any real angles. The E put him in a dumb spot with Heyman. The fans were turning him face and then they bring in Paul and take away his gian swing and the fans were confused. He can connect more with the fans than ADR ever could, at some point he'll become a full on face and get another push.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) Hate to say it but I've gotten bored of Bray. Thanks, Cena I'm still into his promos but he really does seem irrelevant after the Cena feud.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 08:20 PM) Cesaro will be released by the end of the year. Nah. He'll be built up again at some point.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 08:11 PM) What? Bryan is cheating on Brie with Megan...

Bryan is a slut!

They made Dean Ambrose a spokesperson for the network now? That almost makes me want to cancel my subscription.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 05:08 PM) I'm 99.9999% sure know where this is gonna head. This just needs to be used more.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 03:44 PM) Then what is the point of living!?!? WHAT IS THE POINT OF LIVING!!!!! Boobs.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 03:29 PM) Yep; On paper it looks like one of the better team specific drafts of all time. Ya wow. I've never paid attention to a team specific draft(outside the Sox) but that's damn impressive.

I always have a hard time getting into these sentimental type things. I'm appreciative of everything PK did for the Sox but I don't need to see him play every day. That being said, it's not like we're going to the playoffs, so it's not a big deal.
