Teams abandoning shift against Dunn
QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 19, 2013 -> 04:50 PM) Most guys like Dunn are encouraged to not try to hit through the shift by their coaching staffs This. It's really not that hard to understand, people just want to find a new way to bash Dunn.

Official Squared Circle Thread
QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 19, 2013 -> 08:53 PM) ....Or not. Am I only one that thinks those Ryback segments are pretty weak? However it would be cool if they used one of those segments to debut a small guy like Generico. Ryback just sucks, he does nothing well. I just got home so I've just seen Punk but from what I've read it looks like this corporate storyline could be pretty fun.

Sale 6th in baseball in WAR
QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 19, 2013 -> 05:59 PM) W/L record for a pitcher is pointless, it's amazing how many people still use it as a important metric. Chris Sale has been awful this year, I don't know how you can dispute that.

Official Squared Circle Thread
QUOTE (TRU @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 09:56 PM) It just makes more sense to have Bryan chasing the title while Cena gets his elbow fixed.. Although I very much enjoyed Cena losing clean.. Ya I like Bryan as much as anyone but this made a lot of sense. The most over guys by far(cena, punk, Bryan, Orton) were all faces, you needed a big heel turn and this made sense. Anywho I thought that was a great ppv. Punk-lesnar was fantastic, Bryan-cena was very good and Christian-del rio delivered as well.

Official Squared Circle Thread
QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 05:16 PM) Ordering tonight. 2nd biggest show of the year and you have no Orton match, although he could cash in. No Ryback, no Shield except pre show. No IC title match, and 2 diva matches. The top 2 matches and Sandow-Rhodes is enough for me to watch, pretty excited about the event. As for the Shield, I'm sure they'll end up facing Henry and Show.

ESPN article on White Sox OF Prospects
QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Aug 16, 2013 -> 12:31 PM) Had to laugh, 100 K's to 9 BB's. 9 walks in almost 460 plate appearances, that's some serious swinging. Holy crap, that's just impressive.

GMing for 2014 Rebuild
QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 17, 2013 -> 11:49 AM) I agree with the lefties idea but do you really think the Sox will go into the season with Rienzo and Johnson both in the rotation? I think they would if they get the right deal for Q or Hector. Trading Danks is going to be pretty hard to do and it probably makes more sense to hold into him. That being said, I'd say it's pretty likely we go into next season with the 4 lefties as I don't think we'll get enough value back for Q or Hector that makes them worth trading and I'm pretty sure Danks isn't going anywhere.

Anybody Found The Last Couple Days Easier to Watch?
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 15, 2013 -> 02:03 PM) It's tough for me now. I don't want them to win. I want the 3rd pick in June minimum. They can't f*** up this fantastic opportunity by falling down to the 5-8 range draft pick wise. Ideally, Garcia and Beckham will do well, Dunn will hit bombs, Starting pitchers pitch well, and then Axelrod blows the game. That's my ideal scenario right now. God that sounds horrible. QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2013 -> 02:15 PM) Ha, we are in 100% agreement. I would add Phegley and Viciedo to the group I hope succeeds in a game. I find myself rooting hard for the Marlins and Astros of late as well. Yup.

8/16 Sox vs Twins
QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 16, 2013 -> 08:13 PM) Man, Q and/or Santiago really need to become more efficient. Having those 2 in the rotation is gonna be really taxing on the pen. I'm all for trading one of em this offseason. They're both still really young, that is definitely something that can be improved upon. I think we'd all be on board for trading one if we're going to be getting a young, middle of the order hitter back but I'm not trading either for less than that.

Job Hunt Thread
QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 12:28 PM) Yup. There are some application's that are frustrating as hell. Anywho, I got a 2nd interview on Monday for a job that I've wanted for a couple of years now. Only thing is that it'd require me to move to Milwaukee but at the moment it's pretty much the perfect job for me. Hopefully I don't f*** it up! Well I got it Guest I'm going to be a cheese head

Sale plunking Arod
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 05:41 PM) No he criticized White Sox fans for cheering the fact that he got hit. And he would be correct. It makes the fan base look stupid. It was stupid but I guarantee you every fan base would have cheered. Fans in general are stupid.

Leesman to start Friday
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 05:03 PM) He's off the DL and has made 2 starts since then. First start only went 2.1 innings, 2nd start went 6 innings (1 run, 5 hits, 6 K's). Might well be that they didn't call him up yet because he hasn't had enough work since the DL trip. I assume in this lost season they just didn't want to jerk him around until he's ready to be up in Chicago for good.

Rios, $1M traded to Rangers
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 11:28 AM) Jim Bowden just made his list of "Five August trades I'd like to see" Rios to Pirates came in as one of them, although he states he can't imagine the Pirates winning the claim on Rios.... "Chicago White Sox trade OF Alex Rios to the Pittsburgh Pirates for OFs Willy Garcia and Harold Ramirez " Jim Bowden seems pretty obsessed about Rios going to the Pirates.

2013-2014 NFL Thread
QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 11:15 AM) Screw Alexander. That asshole cost me a f***ing chance at the championship in fantasy last year with his 0 point performance. *cue noone cares about your fantasy team squad* Karma is a b****.. All kidding aside, that is a bad break for the Chargers. That team definitely needs the help as it is. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 11:24 AM) Same deal here, actually. He was one of the reasons you got TO that championship game, though! No crying from you two, I lost by .9 in my Championship in my keeper league last year, POINT f***IN NINE!
