The fact that abovethelaw.com is not about the Steven Seagal movie makes me sad.

Apartment/Condo/House Thread
QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 12:42 PM) I'm moving to Southport (just west of Wrigleyville) this month, seems to be a solid area and rent really isn't much more for what you get. I currently live in Rogers Park and pay about $600 for my portion for a much smaller apartment, whereas I'll be paying $850 in Southport. And yea, avoid the frat havens every time, but plenty of good places still out there. The biggest thing for me is just being closer to all my college friends so I can more easily hang out with them because right now it takes about 45-60 minutes to get to them (I live about 15-20 mins from the red line currently). So playing basketball, watching games, etc will be much easier. That's a great area. As far as Wrigleyville, I'm not shocked that there's a debate on here about it. People love it or they don't. I personally love the area but to each their own.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 09:37 AM) Meh, totally true. No, it's not. Wrigley and Lincoln Park have more people, more girls, more bars, etc. Yes, you can get drunk anywhere but if you're actually looking for a party scene especially as a 23 year old, Wrigley is definitely one of the places to be.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 09:35 AM) Partying is an overrated waste of money because you can party anywhere else for far less and have just as much fun. I never got the entire "wrigleyville" party thing...it's just a bunch of idiots doing what other idiots do in other neighborhoods, for 30x the cost. Meh not really true.

Chris Sale
QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 02:54 PM) The biggest difference, IMO, between Kershaw and Sale/Hernandez is HR/FB%. Kershaw's is right around his career average, while Sale/Hernandez's are substantially lower than their respective averages. It's likely that both Sale and Hernandez will see some regression here at some point, which would widen the gap between them and Kershaw. Always the possibility that Sale is just improving at this age. That said, Kershaw to me is the best pitcher in baseball but Sale is right there with him.

Kershaw's a lefty so shouldn't he be on the Sox anyways?

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 05:27 PM) Any suggestions for neighborhoods to live in Chicago as a 23 year old? I don't have a car, so living near public transportation is a must. I have a pretty general idea of where I think I'd like to be, but I was wondering if anybody here had any suggestions. Depends what you're looking for really.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 27, 2014 -> 08:03 PM) Don't follow UFC, but a Rousey/Carano fight would be intriguing. I feel like Carano has been out of the game for a while and Rousey would finish her quick but that fight would make some money, that's for sure.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 04:49 PM) Swing yes but I could argue Heyman didn't help much. Always talked about Brock. There was no direction for him with Heyman, it was bad. They should turn him face and give him the swing back, he'll get over again quick enough.

Jose Abreu general discussion
QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 04:47 PM) Yea, sarcasm aside, for most athletes (non NFL edition) losing weight is only going to help. An extra weight you're carrying around as you approach 30 isn't good weight. Just ask CC Sabathia what it did to his knees. When I saw him in spring Jose looked a lot like Miguel Cabrera in that NFL guard sorta way. Yea they are incredibly strong but they are also carrying an extra 5-10% body fat and that translates to an extra 10-30lbs. I'd guess that Jose came into came around 18% body fat and he's probably now down to around 12%, you can notice it in his face especially. If he can get down to 8% it should prolong his career at 1st base by a couple years. Nobody is going to mistake Konerko for Usain Bolt but he has kept any extra weight off and that has undoubtedly helped him extend his career relatively injury free. Jose would do well to follow that. No way he's at 12 percent body fat.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 02:19 PM) Really wanna see a Beadle/Smith debate. It'd be incredible. I like Beadle cause she seems like a fun person and likes wrestling and all that stuff but I don't think she's the most intelligent person in the world. I don't think she'd be the best debater out there.
