QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 10:20 PM) Asmus with his best Ventura impression I'm still not used to Leyland not being over there.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 08:55 PM) OFer does have priority in that case. However, Lexi had that easily. Didn't Beckham have a play like that on an infield pop-up last year? I kind of remember a crazy inning and Hawk was apoplectic.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 10:59 PM) I love Fargo. The End. Yeah, it's great. That Lester fella Martin Freeman is such a great actor.

It's probably more sensationalized by cable "news", but I think it's the type of violence that is the most disturbing. People going into public places, in broad daylight (particularly schools) and shooting people. People may care in the grand scheme of things, but individually people don't seem to be bothered by gang-bangers killing other gang-bangers.

Speaking of Boras, and I know it's a pipe dream, but imagine a 2016 rotation of Sale Scherzer Rodon Quintana ?

I agree with Frank. Cabrera should take 3-4 days off.

Any team that refused to deal with Boras would put themselves at a significant disadvantage.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 8, 2014 -> 05:04 PM) Flowers is 0 for his last 9 with 8 strikeouts. That's good. His BABIP was minimally affected.

4 wounded in shooting. I see it on CNN at the sandwich shop, and can't hear the audio.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 01:22 PM) Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 8m astros 1b prospect jon singleton agrees to $10M 5-year contract with 3 club options. could be worth $35M. @JeffPassan 1st He must have run out of that Boyz N The Hood money.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 01:51 PM) Thus endeth any discussion about the Sox ever signing Brian Wilson. Or that guy on the Padres that looks like he's swallowing a squirrel

Welcome back. That didn't take long, no rust on him.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 10:30 PM) No Dodgers did their own TV package which is Sportsnet L.A. (SNLA) and DirecTV won't buy it I think. Yeah, they think the price is too high. What's strange is they have it on Extra Innings, but local fans are blacked out. I believe it's the same situation as CSN Philadelphia.

On the ESPN crawl it said Sterling is going to sue the NBA for a billion dollars in damages. That whole mess can't end soon enough. Now they say the deal is done and they can't be sued by Donald Sterling. (this is assured by the Sterling family trust, but I have no idea how this works)

The articles I see online mention the Cubs' contract being up after this season, unsurprisingly, there's no White Sox mention.

One thing I didn't see in the article is when this is going to start. I wonder if this means more OTA games, or more CSN games.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 28, 2014 -> 12:49 PM) The Cubs do have a contract with them, and now want to basically change the terms. I don't know any rooftop owners personally, but do know they have spent a lot of money on those places and Ricketts and the Cubs want to basically take their revenue stream almost totally away. Who is going to spend a lot of money if you can only see a small part of the field? If the Cubs didn't have a contract with them, I would have no problem, but the Cubs hold others up to their end of contracts, why shouldn't they have to do the same? And does anyone find it very weird that the Cubs seem to go out of their way trying to act as if Sammy Sosa never existed, yet they hire Manny Ramirez as a player/coach in the minors? I didn't realize they had that long of a deal ( (2023?). I think they are a tacky eyesore. I wonder what the net would be if they were sued. I.e., new revenue - settlement cost (or damages if not settled).

That was an interesting hit.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 27, 2014 -> 09:42 PM) Conor Gillaspie is the greatest hitter of all time Do you have any numbers that back that up?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 27, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) roids Manny Ramirez, moral high road closed

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 27, 2014 -> 02:39 PM) Those new scoreboards are a major f*** you to the rooftop owners. Who cares? Do people really feel sympathy for them, or is it just an anti-Cubs thing?

Anyone know how long of a rain delay?

Ryu perfect for the Dodgers through 7. Dodgers winning 1-0 over Reds.

Which Sox hitter is going to get drilled now?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 25, 2014 -> 04:02 PM) Yesterday's game was so huge you'd think Coop would have demanded to get Bella the hell out of that game. Although Downs would have blown it too I'm sure. if you actually believe that, you are in for a long summer.
