QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 02:08 PM) I think we are lucky all that stadium stuff happened 30 years ago. I would be unbelievably bitter if we were swallowing that stuff today. Why would you be bitter? He kept the team in town on a team friendly deal. I would have been bitter if he moved the team. I remember listening to the sessions on the radio with many of the legislators singing Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye to the Sox.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 09:36 AM) People have heard the expression, the correct one. But, they also correctly identify how disrespectful it is, especially the way it was butchered. I've heard that applied many times in families to the children, who are not capable of making reasonable decisions! But if my boss were to say that of us, when there are so many better ways of indicating we can't always be making democratic decisions, I'd think "f*** you" too. I agree. But those weren't the comments from the players. The players were going to walk out because he called them inmates. They took it literally.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 09:07 AM) McNair might have painted himself into a deep enough corner with his prisoners statement that it takes something like signing Kap to save him from his own players. Am I just old or have people not heard that expression before? Granted he butchered it but the expression is "not letting the inmates run the asylum." It just means that you don't let the employees run the business. That's the employers job. He wasn't really calling them prisoners.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 09:14 AM) The quote from Hahn at the time of the surgery was 12 to 18 months. That's being really conservative unless it was something more than just a reconstruction. But, they did seem to be very conservative with most injuries last year.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Nov 2, 2017 -> 02:53 PM) Would you agree with what Hahn said in the article, specifically that there is no increased risk of reinjury? The specific injury to the bursa? That's probably right. However, my concern would be the structures in the subacromial space that the bursa is there to protect such as the bicep tendon, labrum and supraspinatus tendon, in no particular order. The degree of the debridement would be the key. I have no doubt he'll come back strong. It's no the long term that is the concern.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 2, 2017 -> 04:06 PM) Mildly surprised that Putnam is back after TJS. He underwent surgery at the end of June, so I would imagine he is going to miss a significant portion of the season. UCL reconstruction is usually around a 9 month rehab. So he should be ready for the beginning of the season.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 2, 2017 -> 12:19 PM) http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0928-story.html The interesting part about his long term health will be the structural integrity of the should without a portion of the bursa.

Good luck.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 11:06 PM) Happy for the Astros, they did it the right way. Good drafting, good scouting, and timely trades. Looking forward to the Sox doing the same Not taking the Quintana trade and using less pieces to get Verlander?

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 08:06 PM) You just don't know until he pitches next August. We have no idea what kind of stuff he'll have. That's why the "at best he is a LOOGY or 5th starter" comment you made is silly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 31, 2017 -> 11:18 AM) NFL Update‏ @MySportsUpdate 2h2 hours ago #Bears are one of several teams calling Miami with interest for WR Jarvis Landry. Weren't there rumors of TY Hilton being available.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 30, 2017 -> 07:59 PM) Fantastic move by the 49ers. Yeah and kind of a waste for Patriots. They used a 2nd round pick to get him so the 49ers spent the same pick but get the Belichik experience for him. Bears should have waited

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 02:52 PM) The math just isn't there in my mind. Parking may be discounted, but I just take the red line. Also stadium club has really fallen off the past few years in my opinion. Plus we all know if the Sox are playing well in 2019 they'll roll out a plan in like July or August saying if you buy 7 or 10 games that you get playoff access for at least the ALDS and ALCS. That's what I'll probably end up doing .... Yeah. If you don't take the parking discount and don't go to many games, the season tickets aren't worth it.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 09:56 PM) Because it makes season tickets a massive waste of money unless they make the playoffs. The season tickets are discounted as is the parking. You save more on the parking. As well as the access to the stadium club. If you go to more than 10 games it's much more cost effective.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Oct 25, 2017 -> 03:35 PM) too bad most September games, even lower level seats, are $6 on stubhub. Why is that too bad? It's good for people who want to go to games in September.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 03:03 PM) With all of the latino players that we have, Renteria isnt going anywhere.One big reason they got him ia not only just to help develope young players but it is easier to manage when you can speak the language fluently. Girardi or Dusty baker cannot. Another factor, Jerrys "loyalty" kicks that he always has. He Is NOT going to put Renteria out to dry like The Cubs did. Relax everyone Ricky is here to stay even if Joe Torre or Tony LaRussa wants to come back and manage Baker is fluent in spanish.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 02:42 PM) Dangle enough money and he will. See: Ventura, Robin It has nothing to with money. It's desire and appropriate personality. Ventura had those (although sometimes the desire was questioned). AJ does not.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 11:20 AM) Sox next manager is really just a countdown till Thome or AJP are ready. I don't think he'll manage.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 10:40 AM) I agree. I am not a big Renteria managing fan, but he has done everything asked of him and then some. They play hard. If a bunt attemptcosts you in a meaningful game, then you have a case. The White Sox did pursue Leyland when Bevington was managing. But that was Bevengton. On his worst day, Renteria is not Bevington. My right shoe would not be as bad as Bevington.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Oct 25, 2017 -> 07:12 PM) the sox control the ballpark's use for non baseball events. they have to give the state the ok to host concerts. some mlb teams in publicly financed stadiums set up entertainment divisions to book concerts and other events. the sox do not have such a department, but anything is possible. This seems strange. Who books the concerts then?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 24, 2017 -> 08:16 AM) If the Cubs go out alone, it should be announced pretty soon because they will need time to put their channel together. I don't think the Sox situation will change much. They do own part of the station and will apparently get a bigger piece. Paying yourself is a zero sum game. It does seem Rocky and JR are joined at the hip so I don't see the Sox/Bulls/Hawks partnership breaking up. If they split the revenue from the station, the Sox and Bulls are benefiting from the Hawks popularity and it would be silly to leave that deal.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Oct 24, 2017 -> 09:06 AM) I'll have to work the math out, but I feel like this is my conundrum each year. I want to be guaranteed playoff games if and when we get there, but at the same time I am just throwing money away buying season tix packages... Through business connections and secondary markets its quite easy to get to 10 games a year for probably less than $100 between free tickets and cheap secondary games.. I feel like if I add all those savings up I can pay for the $250 tickets when it comes time for playoffs in 2019 or 2020. It is extremely easy to sell the tickets through the sox-ticketmaster process. I have never had a problem selling the tickets, even the morning of a game, especially if you sell them for face value. The season ticket price is slightly discounted so if you sell them for face value you actuality make a little money. I put the back into the account so my cost the next year is even less.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 09:10 PM) Where did you get this information? They send it to you after they talk to you on the phone.

QUOTE (champagne030 @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 02:46 PM) Yes, but the weekend package never got opening day. Did they have the 13 game packages last year and was that a package where you received the same seat for all 13 games? With the weekend package you could get opening day tickets with the season ticket discount price, but it was not included in the package.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 22, 2017 -> 09:13 PM) Playcalling has changed 100 percent. Glennon threw 40, 45, 22, and 33 times in his starts. I don’t even think Trubisky has thrown over 20 times yet Much of Glennon's passing attempts were due to being down in the score quickly (he caused much of that). If Carolina had scored a few times early, the play calls would have been different as well. However, what hasn't changed is the reluctance to throw to Wrs and only short passes to the TE and backs. Glennon rarely did it and Trubiskey rarely does.
