"I wish to apologize to ... all of the baseball fans especially those in Milwaukee, the great Brewers organization, and my teammates."-Braun Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 44s This will be the most expensive drug suspension in baseball history with Braun losing rest of his salary Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 1m It’s effectively a 65-game suspension. That’s the number of games the #Brewers have remaining. Braun did not specify the mistakes he made. He needs to apologize to the guy that held onto that initial test. What a jackass Braun is.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 04:14 PM) Erik Johnson is the FutureSox #1 prospect, and I think that's a pretty safe bet for any number of other publications. He's definitely played his way into that spot. Best combination of talent and results in the system for sure.

Olt, Edwards and a third player.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 03:06 PM) In a strange turn of events, I will be attending this game. Well... I'll enjoy the beer. At least you get Sale vs. Scherzer. Should be fun to watch.

Already congratulated ash but congrats buddy. This kid is going to have the best sports etiquette of all time.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 01:44 PM) I agree that it's a good spot for Sale. I think the biggest thing that's keeping him down on that list is the whole "being a pitcher." It's just hard to count on consistent success and health from pitchers. And people are more worried about his health than most for whatever reason.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 21, 2013 -> 03:11 PM) I don't really like Farmer but that broadcast is oftentimes hilarious...mostly because of how inept and awkward they are. I mean that in the best way I love the Farmer-DJ combo. Ridiculously entertaining.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 21, 2013 -> 05:19 PM) Rios and De Aza are almost identical offensively. Rios has 1 more appearance. They have the same amount of hits, doubles, triples and homers. Rios has 9 more steals and 25 less ks. DeAza has walked 3 more times. Pretty amazing. Ale leads the team in ops for non pitchers who have been here all year. I bet most people wouldn't guess that.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 21, 2013 -> 05:11 PM) WHAT CHANNEL?!?! REELZ. What ever the hell that is. Channel 238 on DirecTV.

Barcelo really did have an electric arm. Too bad.

Double Team starring Dennis Rodman and Jean Claude Van Damme is on TV right now. Just thought everyone deserved to know.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 21, 2013 -> 04:10 PM) What if we take all 4 from the tigers? Sin city where u at?? Lets hope that doesn't happen, we don't need the front office getting any crazy ideas.

That was cool.

Why do people pass out so early?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 11:43 AM) Started watching some NXT since I have Hulu Plus now. It's something different. They should bring up 3 of the Divas now. The divas division in nxt is like a million times better than the division in the E(outside of AJ of course). Paige and Emma are extremely over too.

Shingo was the best.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 12:08 AM) Did I ever tell you about the time that Alan Hanson got a home run on a ground ball to shortstop? So anyways, Alan Hanson is up at the plate, and the pitcher is just giving him mean looks and spitting everywhere, but Alan Hanson just winked at him and hit a ball to the shortstop. Then the shortstop fielded the ball and threw it to first, but Alan Hanson was already rounding first! So the first baseman throws it to second but it was too late! So the second baseman tries to get ahead of Alan Hanson and throws it to home, but Alan Hanson stops in the base line and starts river dancing. The catcher didn't know what to think, so he chased after him and wouldn't you know, Alan Hanson backflipped over the catcher and somersaulted his way to the plate. Wouldn't you know, the men's Olympic gymnist coach was there, and signed Alan Hanson up and he brought home the gold for the USA. I don't believe this.

Jesse and the rippers just played on Jimmy Fallon. Fantastic.

Can this game just end already?

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 09:31 PM) Yeah, what's your lineup next year if you do that? Rose/Dunleavy/?/Gibson/Aldridge? Meh. Before someone says it, they would have less than $10 million in cap space even without Deng and Boozer because they'd have about $49 million committed to 6 players. I don't see it as a "next step" move unless they can keep Noah. That would be making a move just to make a move. Awful trade.

QUOTE (aboz56 @ Jul 17, 2013 -> 02:34 PM) This is all pretty simple. It's Jason's fault. Woah. QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jul 17, 2013 -> 10:07 PM) 10 years ago I used to hang out on this site all the time. I was 15 and had not a care in the world. After school/sports practices, I'd come home and chill on SoxTalk for awhile. Hell, a select few of us would be up until 2-3am every night during the summers. Just can't do it anymore. I do read SLaM and the Sports forum on a daily basis, though. Just don't post often. Miss all of you guys. DBAH0 still around? Haven't seen much from him. Ohh the good ol' days(as I say this it's 1 am).

Wish there were some better looking girls but The Challenge is damn entertaining.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 16, 2013 -> 11:00 PM) you guys are such homers right now Not really, Sale was the best player in the game. The whole life time achievement award is stupid, I'd feel the same way even if it wasn't Chris. Granted, it's only the all star MVP so who cares but I hate when this type of crap happens.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 16, 2013 -> 01:16 PM) Boobs, HJs, and mindless ignorant racism? I may have to start watching this train wreck. This cast is just a train wreck. It's definitely entertaining though.

I've always loved the World Cup but that's really the only time I watched. I'm actually starting to follow all the prelims and watch as many games as I can now. Let me ask you guys: what battles should I be looking for on the US roster? And what do we think the starting 11 will be come next summer?
