QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:53 PM) I wonder if he'll have to fail at the MLB level in order to make the necessary adjustments to reach his potential? He's had great success during his career in terms of getting singles, but he has the potential to be much more than a slap hitter. I mean, its the third game of the season...

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:51 PM) No its not. I saw Garcia in the outfield last year and he looked shaky and I see that he is no better this year. Remember when there was a thought that he could be a CF.... So you have the opinion the worst fielder in the OF plays in left?

LOL, just remember to eat crow when the 22 year old in RF ends up being a good player for the Sox.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:23 PM) 159 games of the Adam Dunn Experiment left...matter of fact, that will make a good sig... hopefully he gets hot and it will be shorter.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) I am starting to like Garcia less and less. He's 22, I bet you end up liking him.

Nice defense, especially when we needed Q to go 7. f***.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 11:44 AM) Lol, i'm hard to please. I like the show, but I dunno, I thought after reading the responses people had it would be like a "must watch, can't wait to get home" type of show. My wife and I have taken 2 weeks to watch 4 episodes. Top 3 favorite shows, go

We've played 2 games.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 05:45 PM) Jeez, didn't know it was THAT sensitive of a subject for White Sox fans. This was just the worst I've ever seen it. 1pm on a wed and it was 32 degrees. What did you expect?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 01:34 PM) If you can afford a $3000 TV, then I believe LED TVs are better than projectors. But you can get a projector for $1000. So it's price vs quality. There is a 75 in SAmmy for almost half price that I am about to pull the trigger on.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 05:35 PM) not really. The Twins just flat out gave that game away. They're a bad baseball team. We wouldnt have come back.

Last year this team would have folded. Nice win.

Both are remembered very well by OSU fans, but not for their broadcasting.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 04:07 PM) Surely he could come back for events or ceremonial things -- but you mean..just..not as an employee ..ever again, right? I think some people in the front office would have to die for that to happen, but never say never right?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 01:23 PM) He will return someday. Not as the manayer, but team ambassador,Spanish broadcaster, broadcaster, special advisor.... something. He burned some bridges, but he burned bridges when he left as a player. From the interviews I have seen with him, it seems obvious to me he knows he screwed up. He seems humbled, it could be fake, there has been some fake humility before with both Ozzie and KW. I think this time for him, it is real. I would imagine there will be some sort of Frank Thomas Day this year when he goes into the HOF. That might be a perfect time to have Ozzie return to USCF> He burned about every single bridge he had to the White Sox. I dont envision him ever coming back.

Frankly once they introduced the mother I wanted to see less and less of her, especially in that horrible tight dress.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 12:45 PM) Well sure, I wasn't expecting an Emmy winning drama script either, but I wanted something that didn't make me feel like the prior 9 seasons was a waste of time. They devoted hours and hours to certain story lines and then did a 180 on them. The other 9 seasons were 99 percent Robin and 1 percent the "mother". So they did make sure it wasnt a waste of time.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 12:24 PM) Realistic or not, the show had themes and motivations that ended up meaning dick in the end. Like every show ever? I expected a finale in tune with a network comedy and it delivered IMO. It wasnt my favorite and I wasnt completely happy but I didnt expect the writing to all of a sudden get great.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) That timing issue makes the kids' total willingness to see Ted get with Robin a little weird and creepy. And they even mention that the story of how he met their mother didn't involve their mother that much, it was more about Robin. What kid is going to feel that way about their mother, even if it had been 6 years? TV children. This show was never realistic and I think people are processing the finale like its a drama.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 09:42 AM) Even if you didn't want to divert the ending, the way they got rid of the mother, you know what everyone had been waiting for, for almost a decade, was terrible. I know it was the title of the show, but the mother plot was a fraction of what was going on for years.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 06:49 AM) Put me on the hated it list. That ended totally destroyed everything Ted was all about, and turned him into an awful cliche. Wait. Wasn't Ted always a cliche? What else was he about?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 05:10 AM) How about not killing off the mother for Robin? The first meeting at the train station was great and they kept showing them so happy together, then BAM, she gone, here's Robin again. That after two seasons of Robin and Barney falling in love, then divorcing 15 minutes after the wedding ended. They had an ending in mind when the show started, and no matter how far the show diverted off course, they refused to budge on the original ending IMO. How could a show divert if you already have an ending? I don't get it.

Abreu was one gust of wind from his first HR.

That's a homer without the wind.
