QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 10:56 AM) My buddy and I joke how he still has a job. Should've re-teamed Hawkins and Ryder to tag. It's hilarious that JTG still has a job. When is the last time anyone has even seen that guy? QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 11:00 AM) Evan Bourne gone as well =(....Oh well, I'll catch him on the indy circuit someday. Dude has been hurt for almost 3 years now. Bourne just belongs on the indy scene. He's an entertaining wrestler but just has absolutely no personality.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 02:17 PM) How come you guys never point out my winners? You need to have winners for them to be pointed out.

Greg would be the worst gambler in the history of the world.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 08:53 AM) Danks is rolling, Verlander is hot garbage, and Kyyle is DIALED. Bet your house on the White Sox. If I don't own a house what should I bet?

Can Rollins go back to The Shield now?

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 03:42 PM) Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Add a NXT guy and they're instantly over. Not too familiar with Graves character but Zayn/Neville don't fit at all.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 02:23 PM) Great sign (grabbed from Draft Picks threaD) Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 2m Source said #WhiteSox have agreed in principle to sign 2nd-rd pick, RHP Spencer Adams, at slot. Suggested slot is $1.282 mill. edit: "Great sign" meaning this is a good sign that we need not worry about getting Rodon in the fold, obviously it is a nice "signing" as well. Surprised that got done so quickly. Awesome.

I'm not a big fan of adding anyone to them.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 07:08 AM) Was there any surprise that Miami won this game? I mean...no but it's not like they dominated the game.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 09:15 AM) Yeah, San Antonio should have made those 4 FTs, and you can just as easily say Chalmers got lucky that flagrant didn't cost them, but at the end of the day, if LeBron is average Lebron, putting up 26 and 8, Miami loses that game. If we really want to get crazy we can say that Chalmers flagrant won Miami the game as parker had to go out for a few minutes to recover from the elbow. Now I'm actually not saying that but just throwing another argument out there. This is going to be a fun series.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 09:54 PM) The Spurs are not going to win in Miami. This is just like the Indy series. These teams beat the Heat once and don't have the same WTW the second game, then before you know it, it's a crucial split. Manu played like s*** the last 2-3 minutes. Miami is going to bring it back to S.A. up 3-1. I wouldn't discount a Miami win in game Five, but Spurs will likely salvage game five, then Miami wraps it up at home. Once again, the genius Gregg Popovich shows he's just like any other coach. Scott Brooks would have gotten fried for losing this game down the stretch. Players win games. Bosh hit the huge shot; LeBron was great on both ends. Heat turned it up on defense in crunch time. Result a victory. Nothing really to say to this besides lol.

Van Gundy is a moron.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 11:33 AM) You probably might want to change best slider to Rodon This.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 09:01 AM) I've read it, I touched on it above. I still think it's a very low strikeout number, even with predominantly fastball usage. QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 09:37 AM) Seconded. At some point the "he's working on something" explanations have to translate to results. Hoping it happens because the groundball rate is pretty good. I'm with you guys. This isn't a one year problem either, he just can't seem to miss bats no matter what he's doing.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 09:00 AM) He is? I was confused by that as well.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 11:13 PM) I think faster than people think with his situation and demands. They are dangling mlb playing time. That really makes too much sense for them not to do.

Carroll seems to have found a niche as a long reliever.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 10:35 PM) If the Sox are actually going to contend, they are going to need another starter most likely. Rienzo with a few bad starts now. Rodon would probably be our 3rd or 4th starter at this point. I would actually give him that chance if he wasn't so close to his high in innings.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 10:34 PM) Not really if you thought we'd beat Weaver with Rienzo I'm not the one being angry.

This is a very angry game thread.

f*** Creighton.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) FYI, they typically include a clause in these contracts that the team would pay for their college education if they don't pan out. I honestly never heard that before. That's interesting.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 02:33 PM) #284 on BA, not ranked on scout.com, toolsy Toolsy outfielder you say? Poor guy is guaranteed not to make it in our system.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 10:57 AM) Give Illinois the title! http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/110...ok-sham-classes When I heard this story my reaction was "no s***." I'm sure this goes on everywhere.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 07:03 AM) I liken Buehrle to Russel Wilson. The book on pitching is that you have to throw 94+ in order to make it as a pitcher. The book on QBs is that you have to be 6' 2" or taller to make it. They are the exceptions to the rule, but I don't believe that they disprove the rule. I don't disagree that an elite fastball or height are vital components to success. It's not impossible to succeed if you don't have them, but you have to be nearly perfect in all other aspects of your game in order to make up for those shortcomings. There aren't going to suddenly be dozens more Buehrles and Wilsons coming along. It's just way too difficult to succeed with their skillsets and they are unique men. I just saw this and I like this comparison.
