QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 04:59 PM) Anybody live in the north neighborhoods of Chicago? Im looking to move in that area, I need relatively easy access to 94 (I work up in Lake Forest), and I'd like to be within a 30min walk of the EL (red or brown line is fine). I've been thinking of Ravenswood or West Rogers Park. I moved to Rogers Park a few months ago and couldn't be happier. Everything I need(redline, metra, beach, restaurants, grocery stores) are all located within a mile radius to us. You can also find places for dirt cheap around here. I live in a 4 bedroom, 3 bath, huge, beautiful apartment with 3 other guys and we pay a whopping $2100(all together) a month. I know there's a certain stigma associated with Rogers Park but it really is a great place to live.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 01:32 PM) Absolutely not. To this day, I have never seen the catch What the hell? Wise is a solid outfielder and a much better baserunner than Jordan. Move makes plenty of sense to me. EDIT: And very happy to see Veal back.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) When's the last time he's gotten a few swing and misses on his fastball? I don't blame him for the slider to Gomes, but the league will soon start to sit on that pitch with Thornton have zero confidence in his fastball. Not only is it a few inches slower but he's lost complete confidence in it, he throws a ton of sliders now a days compared to what he usually does. And f***.

Ugh, this game needs more everyday Jim the Anvil Neidhart.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) I wonder if Youk, like Peavy, gets mad when taken out of games. We prolly could use a pinch runner and stolen base. Ah, keep him in the game. We might need him in extra innings or in the ninth or something. It's the 7th inning, you're not taking him out.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 08:55 PM) Ironic and Literally. Two of some of most incorrectly used words I've ever heard. "Literally" seems to have exploded over the past couple years though, and almost never used correctly. Good god, it's a game thread, who gives a f***?

Is Youk the greatest human to ever live?

Outside of his first 2 outings(I wanna say) Jesse has been fantastic since coming back.

Snodgress is just tearing up the Carolina league so far.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 02:12 PM) Shutting him down doesn't guarantee health in 2013 or 2014 anyway. He could still injure his arm again. If you have a legit chance to win the WS, you go for it, because it's not promised again. I know how bright Washington's future looks, but s*** happens in baseball. They should be treating him like the Sox have Sale. Give him extra breaks during the year from time to time, so his arm is getting rest, but can still go the whole season. 100 percent agree.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 03:16 PM) Why not try De Aza at 9th and Beckham leading off for one game...lol Because that's an awful idea. QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 03:53 PM) But Youkilis is better equipped to make the necessary adjustments than Gordon. So why not bat Rios 9th? You can't have Beckham getting more abs than Youk, that's ridiculous.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 11:24 AM) "Bandwagon fans? He has a Joe Borchard jersey...you don't even know who that is!" "Good point" Was hoping you'd get what I was referring to. Ah the good ol days.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 12:59 PM) I sure would love to see Noah and Howard/Bynum clogging the lane so our superstar D Rose can drive into all that traffic. I'd rather have a Kevin Love next to Noah to stretch the floor. I'll sit back while your heads explode. You get rid of noah if you have Dwight, not too difficult.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 10:28 AM) Time to break out the authentic McCarthy jersey for the game. Bandwagon fan.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 07:25 AM) that picture makes me want to cheer the athletics. not cool Is she pitching against us?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 11:01 PM) Gasol WASNT EVEN INVOLVED???????? DONE Lets start our own league.

I'll definitely be rooting for the Lakers over the Heat but god damn the NBA is just so f***in stupid at the moment. Terrible.

The NBA is f***in stupid. f*** this s***.

Ya Boogie is awesome.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 08:17 PM) I wanna get my pic taken with Boogie and post it to Facebook. Not back home yet, Janelle officially gonezo?

Vick just got hurt.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 12:14 PM) Three straight games without a K, around 20% rate in his last 10 games, 27% in July/August. Was 29% last year on the season. His AVG is up about 10 points this year, OBP about the same, SLG up by 35 points. Also is 18/20 in SB attempts this year, after going 8/12 last year. Two straight seasons of 20+ HR's, will probably get two straight of 30+ doubles as well (at 28 now). And this is a guy with plus defensive skills in the OF. Next year he'd be 22 at AA. Playing at B-Ham is a big test. The jump to AA is often the hardest for hitters to make successfully, and it will be especially so for a guy like Trayce... his HR power will be tested in that cavernous park, and so will his defensive skills. Next year will tell us a lot about him, I think. This post is filled with good.

Usually the Red Sox, this year and going forward until you know who is gone it's the Marlins. I want nothing more than to see that sob have continued failure.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 12:26 PM) She sucks. Boogie was brilliant but made alot of sense. I loved how every group was trying to build and alliance. Lost in the shuffle is Jen who is floating along with no consequences. Also, Brittany needs to stop trying to run things, her and Danielle are two of the dumbest people in the house and Brit is one of the worst players ever. I don't like Janelle so I'm cool with her going away. I haven't watched as many seasons as you guys so I'm not familiar with Britney's mishaps before but I think she's cute as hell so I hope she stays around for a while.

Sanchez, Rienzo and Keenyn all keeping up their awesomeness. And definitely nice to see Hector starting off solid in Charlotte as well.
