QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:55 PM) Duncan with a ho-hum 20 and 10 on 90% shooting. He just makes everything. Its like the guy who quietly shoots a 75 at golf.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 11:29 PM) Too much cash. He should get 4 mill a year max for 2-3 years and I kick myself for even going that high. Otherwise let him walk. Nobody's going to pay this guy. What did AJP get this year? No way 9 mill for Dunn. Double that. Just sayin.

My official stance has changed. There is at least a chance he's back for 2-3 years.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 11:10 PM) add me to that list +1. Researching now.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:54 PM) Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 4m Nick Hostetler told me Adams was one of three good names CWS were looking at for No. 44. Adams was at the top of those three Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 4m White Sox feel as if they got a first round talent in Adams in the second round Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 4m Adams, of course, is far more removed from the big leagues in comparison to Rodon. Typical high school pitcher path to Majors I would say this is all accurate. They were shocked.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:52 PM) Awesome I know for a FACT their chief counsel is there. And I know they knew what he wanted. Concrete facts.

Great game but cramps were too much of the outcome which sucks.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:50 PM) From Bleacher report: MLB Player Comparison: Jeff Samardzija Adams doesn’t profile as a No. 1 or 2 starter like Jeff Samardzija, but he does draw comparisons to the Cubs right-hander for his overall athleticism, highly projectable frame and potential to boast at least average command of a plus fastball/slider combo. He can't possibly be as big of a douchebag.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:47 PM) I heard it was a 50% chance we sign both of them, so I didn't know how to take that. Little nugget: they've known Rodon's demands for awhile. They are in the office right now with lawyers.

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 05:17 PM) Over the last three weeks of combining a meticulous diet with exercise, I have managed to get down 10lbs from when I first weighed in - 178.8 to 168.8. I'm hoping I've gained some muscle weight too. I think I've also managed to get my body fat % down from around 19% to 17%. My initial goal is to get it down to 15%, and from there to keep trying to reduce it to about 12%-10%. My question is, if I start trying to bulk up at this point, will the fat loss still go ahead at the critical areas (I have a difficult-to-shift bit of fat around the belly and lower abdomen)? Take body measurements and forget about your weight.

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 05:33 PM) Greg, two things: 1. How did you find the caffeine withdrawals? I haven't had any coffee, tea, or soft drinks for over three weeks now, and for nearly the whole first week I had these absolutely cruel migraines from the caffeine withdrawal. It was more noticeable than anything when I went off alcohol. 2. There's some good points already been made here about not eating too little. You need to eat to lose fat, as counterintuitive as that sounds. Good regular, healthy meals (and watch out for the hidden sugars) are the way to go, combined with exercise. If you don't eat enough, the body goes into starvation mode and actually stores fat, making your suffering entirely counter productive and fecking with you metabolism. Honestly, shakeology helped me wean off of caffeine.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:02 PM) Thanks for keeping me in the loop 2 people knew. Check your pms

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:54 AM) Glad I continue to ignore the sources of some posters here. Btw, hell yeah! Gotta love that depth chart. Green is eating himself out of his career.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:43 PM) I'm not sure that would be such a stretch though?? Unless he knew Rodon wasn't going to Houston or Miami. He was #1 on their board. They are over the moon. I expect a deal to get done quickly.

Other than the few I PM'ed. This was a hard secret to keep. Jeez.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:43 AM) I take it he's no longer looking for the hardship waiver? He is still, so I wonder if Hoke will end up coaching him when its said and done.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 08:36 AM) @AdamSchefter Word around NFL is that when Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson get new deals next year, they will come in between $24-$25 million per year. People seem to be mad that Kap is getting so much money. I think it's great. I hope Seahawks give Wilson 30 million a year. That way they can no longer spend over 60% of their cap money on defense. People are only upset because he doesn't deserve that much money, it's an overpay that is helping set the market.

That game was awesome.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 01:40 PM) I'll take a walk in a close game, otherwise I'm swinging. There is a pitcher who always tries to walk me a couple of times a game, so I've started taking them since they arent anywhere remotely close. If there are runners on I'll try and run to the pitch if I can.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 11:21 AM) Getting rid of the Chief was f'n stupid. All the Chief stuff was a celebration of Indian heritage, and now for the sake of political correctness, no one is going to remember American Indians ever existed in Illinois. Eh, it was a celebration of sports.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 07:06 AM) Still bitter about Miami changing their name? They didnt need to change theirs either, they actually had the support of the Miami tribes to keep the name and the school changed it anyway.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 09:33 AM) That's WGN local, not WGN America. The only overlap programming between the two are sporting events and the evening news. Ah gotcha.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 12:38 PM) walkers in softball has always been a pet peeve of mine. It is one thing if the pitcher is bad, but actually looking for a walk in softball? Slap-worthy. Right, the only time I walk is if they are pitching around me.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 30, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) I'm confused as to why anyone watches WGN if it's not for their sports???? I watch WGN news every morning. Best crew on TV

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) Are you somehow bragging about not caring about the down years? Im not sure how you could come to that conclusion with what I said.
