QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:07 PM) It's disturbing that this continues and, no batting stance changes, no choking up a little to make contact, no one seemingly aware of game situations. You cant call what our coaches do, as coaching. There is no instruction thats visible to me. If they are ignoring it, they shouldn't play. The only players I've seen make changes like that are Alexei and Konerko. Not surprisingly they are two of our best hitters.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) we would have to bat for 57 innings to do that Dunn would have 20 K's and 2 walks.

We have a league avg offense. And its still pathetic. How you could have a team that supposedly "underachieves" and you havent made any changes is beyond me. Most clubs that perceive they arent getting enough out of their team will : 1. Bring up their top prospect who has proven he can hit MLB pitching and is raking in the minors 2. Change SOMEONE on the coaching staff.

Theres no doubt in my mind I could have made better contact there.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) From everything I've heard, Rizzo wanted Viciedo AND Jackson for Dunn. Yes, and KW still completed the trade and offered a different piece. Not his finest hour.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) Honest question: if you traded Jackson now, could you even get someone as good as Holmberg back? Still the most puzzling trade of the KW era. It wasnt puzzling. He was duped into thinking he could get Dunn for Jackson and then was surprised when he couldnt. And for those who cannot watch this game. Have you ever seen a baseball player take his first cuts in a slow pitch softball game? Thats exactly what we look like. Out on our front foot, rolling everything over. Garbage.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 12:07 PM) Yep. Put yourself in the boyfriend's shoes (minus the "not allowing her to talk to other guys" crazy s***). You wouldn't feel completely betrayed if your girlfriend were talking to some other guy in the same fashion as you two are, and then keeping it from you? A girl that can lie to her guy like that will lie again. She probably needs constant attention and has cheated before which is why her guy is jealous in the first place.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 10:17 AM) That's a luxury only certain companies give. It's definitely not mandatory to pay you. Wow, i did not know that. That does suck.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 10:08 AM) If I got paid the same amount for sitting in a jury box as I do for going to work, I'd do it. You still get paid your work salary + time off, + a tiny jury pay check. I believe its illegal for your work to fire you or punish you for being on a jury.

Subway car? Did they take it from manhattan?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 09:57 PM) Only 25, nearly had 60 points last year, defensive stud who is a terrific PK guy and can play on the PP, a captain and has 2 stanley cup rings already on his resume.. I'd say that contract was a steal, especially with what is being handed out on the FA market. Hell, don't be surprised when you see what Sharp gets next off-season. The market dictated it. Ladd is an ideal second line winger for any team that wants to compete.

The sound effects of pacman dying would be appropriate.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) Can someone tell me why I should care about this case? How many kids get killed on a daily basis here in Chicago? How many by their own mother? Usually those cases are pretty widely reported on because its outrageous.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 01:30 PM) That's what Ozzie wants -- says he needs another Santos. Is there anyone down on the farm who shows any promise? Addison Reed?

I've always wondered what a defense lawyer's state of mind is after they win which they always want to do, but then realize they got a murderer off.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 01:31 PM) Why would you lie to authorities if you had nothing to hide? Horrible day. Everything she did was f***ed up. Killed her kid, lied, partied, got off almost free and clear, wow.

Wow, terrible job by the jury. She clearly killed that kid. Wow.

It was mentioned in other outlets that he was just throwing a name out there because ATL needs hitting. They arent trading TCQ.

weirdest clouds ever passing over right now. Blue and wavy.

Windy as balls here in the west loop. Howling.

What is with this weather? I really want to take the ducati out but I hate riding in the rain. At least we have the Hawks making mad signings to keep us busy

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 01:01 PM) I remember when he was good. Woudlnt be bad for depth.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) Eh, Campoli and Frolik are my main concerns now. Kaberle back to Toronto I still think we ink Gagne

Steve, I still think theres one more good one coming for the Hawks

Oh hell yes. So far today picked up a guy that will make sure Scott never plays and Brunette who I have always liked. NIce
