QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 03:37 PM) You've been proven right? Gtfo. He's been the best SS in the AL for years and he's still among the best. That's like saying you predicted PK would be a s***ty hitter and you think you've been right because he sucks this year. That was such a stupid post that its kind of blowing my mind. Lots of players are called brain dead. Most of them are short stops. You know why? They have a lot more to think about than any other player on the field. They have to make more snap judgements. Sometimes they make stupid plays. There's no doubt that he's kind of a dumb baseball player, but he's more than earned his salary throughout his career. That's a bit of an exaggeration there, c'mon.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 07:15 PM) We're checking out DirectTV - I'm going to ask a couple questions since I can't find answers on the 'net, so if you know the answers I'd love it if you'd fill me in 1. They're giving 3 months of the premium channels (HBO, etc) right now with the XTRA package -- how much to get those later? Do I have to upgrade to the double-priced plan to get those? HBO is 17.99/month and the others are all 12.99/month each. They only allow one Genie per customer, but I think they can handle 4 outputs. I don't know about the others, except that each box would need to be wired to the multiswitch. You might have to run new lines for those. It can get expensive because they charge more for custom installs.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 11:42 AM) Are you serious? I didn't know t-shirts with "Chicago Stronger" were out there, but that's in extremely poor taste, and just plain stupid. WTF is wrong with people? There was zero need to do that. I'm glad that the only time I've heard this series "linked" to the tragedy was during Media Day, when people asked questions to Hawks players that quite frankly were impossible to answer. This series has nothing to do with the tragedy, but making t-shirts and for some reason bringing up an old Tribune page? WTF? Let's not be classless like this guy: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-dad...-012808757.html While it surely isn't the smartest thing to do, I think people are reading too much into it. It's all about the sports teams. I don't believe they are making light of what happened in Boston. Boston brought the sports teams into it first, for charity understandably. I just think there is too much media-driven faux outrage. While I wouldn't buy one, I don't think the people who do are terrorist sympathizers.

I guess strong is the new n-word, i.e. only "they" can use it. http://mobile.boston.com/news/source/2013/...ts_now_for_sale

Are Beats in the same boat as Bose, as far as people either love them or hate them?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 09:26 PM) Pretty obvious no Sox hitters are on anything. I don't know, do they test for quaaludes?

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 09:36 PM) Pacers need Paul George to do something. He is killing them on both ends

What's wrong with Conor Gillaspie?

Has there been any news on the rained out game? Any common off days to speculate?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 29, 2013 -> 11:11 PM) Last four left are the last four champs. Wonder if that's ever happened in any sport Last 5 going into tonight.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 23, 2013 -> 10:46 PM) Christ. What a terrible way to finish this season Kane might as well have just worn a suit all season. http://m.espn.go.com/general/story?storyId...mp;city=chicago

I can't see the game. How did Paulie get a hit on a ball to the pitcher?

The Heat should do some Harlem Globetrotters stuff. At least give the fans in attendance something interesting.

The pick-to-click should be revamped to which inning does the collective tv audience *click.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 13, 2013 -> 08:05 PM) They should FOLD. No wait, they should HOLD until June. Or FOLD now. Either one. Perhaps they should walk away? Run maybe?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2013 -> 07:03 PM) Personally, I would have chosen tomorrow to be the day Konerko gets off and Dunn plays. Hernandez has been blasted by righties all year while he's dominated lefties. Robin went to the Pete Rose management school?

The White Sox have a long, storied history of sustained success. I don't know why anyone would want to mess with such a winning formula.

Dunn can't be sent to the minors. I don't know why people keep suggesting it.
