Leo "The Lip" Durocher would be turning in his grave...
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 6, 2013 -> 11:53 AM) You have to be joking. Or trolling. Gillaspie was acquired during ST in exchange for a lottery ticket A-ball pitcher, and has been one of the best hitters in the lineup. Seriously with this? a .320 hitter isnt good enough for greg. He needs to have at least 30 RBIs by now. Although that would require the hitters before him getting on base......

Someone please post this on a Cubs forum
QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ May 3, 2013 -> 03:12 PM) There's no way that the woman in red is that little kid's sister. Also, my monitor kind of smells like a beach at low tide now. the guy on the broadcast said she was and the kid seemed to acknowledge it

2013 Films Thread
QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ May 4, 2013 -> 07:31 AM) I am concerned they are going to screw up Godzilla on his 60th anniversary. The script has been in so many hands and it sounds like they are going to revision his origin to tie into climate change rather than atomic weapons. I am sure it will be better than the 1998 Sony turd, but I still don't have a great feeling about this one. I loved Gareth Edwards "Monsters", and from what I read his sizzle reel at comicon last year blew people away. I havent heard that the script has changed too many hands, but it seems like nowadays that is old hat. The funny thing is, the Japanese have done so many silly things with Godzilla's story and we consider that ok. We hear a US director is gonna change some things, and we freak out. One consistent thing I have read is that Edwards wants Godzilla to be terrible event that people react to, and really have no answer for. I like that.

Santiago for 5th starter
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2013 -> 01:46 PM) It's weird to think going back to one year ago today that 2 guys named Quintana and Santiago would be our "good stuff" lefties and John Danks would be a 4/5 type who's closer to "early career" Mark Buehrle than he is to good Johan Santana. We always used to compare Danks to guys like Sabathia, Lester, Romero...oh, for those days, for both Ricky Romero and John. Whaaaaa????? Who compared Danks to Sabathia and Lester? That's ridiculous

Brad Stephens: bring the brick and ivy to Rosemont
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2013 -> 12:50 PM) RIght now the Cubs are 20th in road attendance. I um, don't want to say where the White Sox are. when the cubs are competitive, the fans show, just like pretty much all Chicago teams. Say what you want about all Chicago fans and being meatheaded, if there is a winner on the field the fans are normally there. The Sox fans are a bit more stubborn than the rest, but we have seen what the cell looks like when the playoffs start. When the Cubs had their run with Piniella, they were probably right at the top in road attendance. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2013 -> 01:03 PM) Yankees fans are Yankees fans, not fans of Yankee Stadium II. They also have those 27 titles to back them up. And Cubs fans are cubs fans, that's exactly what I am saying. Like i said, they may lose some of the casual wrigley fans, but the team isn't going to fold up because they aren't playing in that s***hole anymore

Brad Stephens: bring the brick and ivy to Rosemont
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 3, 2013 -> 12:10 PM) I don't even think that would be anywhere near enough. There is no way he would replicate what he has in any suburb. Busloads from Iowa aren't going to Rosemont. If the Cubs moved, they would become just another team. Cubs fans are cubs fans. People didnt stop going to see the Yankees because they built a new stadium. If Ricketts built an awesome new stadium with tons of amenities, and Theo's plan came to fruition, the fans would come. They may lose a lot of casual wrigley fans, but lets not pretend like the cubs fans aren't one of the best traveling fanbases in baseball. They practically sell out Miller Park and chase field by themselves. Those fans aren't going to see the field, they are going to see the team.

2012-2013 NBA thread
QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ May 3, 2013 -> 12:11 PM) Some people don't read. In the NFC Championship game thread I was ranting against Cutler and have admitted it. Part of it was that I was pretty drunk abd pissed that even before Jay got hurt, he was putting up a garbage performance and looking shook. I took back what I said later that night and especially the day after. Cutler was legitemately hurt. I've apologized for my meatheadedness and won't do that again. You guys come off as meatheads because Rose is either a coward or a lazy POS. I don't believe that to be the case. He's being overly cautious because it's his career we're talking about. And to say this could be his legacy is downright silly. People will forget this when he gets back to his old form (fingers crossed). Not to long ago LeBron was thought as being mentally weak and unclutch, lol. Lebron kept on going until he overcame that hurdle. Not a good comparison.

Brad Stephens: bring the brick and ivy to Rosemont
Ricketts needs to get courted by one of the suburbs, have an artists rendering of a park, and a full plan to present as an alternative if he wants to be taken seriously. Otherwise, stfu, people are laughing at your empty threats

2013 MLB Catch-All thread
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 30, 2013 -> 06:23 PM) Yeah, I don't know if I believe that. Like one of the comments says, how do you not notice that a ball almost drilled you in the head until you see the picture to send it out? She should have known the second it smashed in to something a few feet away from her. My problem is it looks like the ball is barely moving, you can clearly see the stitches on the ball. If she is taking a selfie and a homerun is hit over the green monster next to her head, you would think the ball would look like a blur

Conor Gillaspie
QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 2, 2013 -> 11:58 AM) Wasn't Becks hitting pretty damn good before he went down? He was, hence the "and injured" part. I'm worried he may regress due to 4 weeks of no hitting. Keppinger has been underwhelming to say the least

Conor Gillaspie
I'm glad Conor is gettig the chance he is, and to be perfectly honest I think the competition should be between Gordon and Keppinger, for second base and super sub. Gillaspie has earned his spot thus far, and the other two have been underwhelming and injured

Reed hits AJ
QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ May 2, 2013 -> 11:31 AM) Anyone who can't appreciate what AJ did here doesn't know baseball. I know this sentence is ban-worthy under the rules or whatever, but it is true. AJ was an excellent catcher for us and if you ignore that then you simply do not understand baseball. At all. That's it. This forum hates it's greatest players though, same with WSI. The best hitter in franchise history was called "The Big Skirt" for years. Say enough? He was called the Big Skirt by Mariotti, not Soxtalk. And this forum doesn't hate the franchises greatest players, far from it. There are certain members that choose to be more critical than others, but your broad generalization of this forum is wrong. Nothing you said was ban-worthy, just drama.
