Story about Dunn and his child
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 10:50 PM) So if supporting their fans is so important to the White Sox, why don't they low their ticket prices or parking fees? It's a business. The White Sox are worth roughly $1.2-1.5 BILLION dollars. If they start giving away tickets for free or operating as a 501c3 nonprofit/charity, then booing becomes more questionable. That said, it's ridiculous to make so many excuses for players. That's the culture we live in today, where nobody is held accountable for their actions...it's scaring me, but maybe my dad was right and you do lose your "liberalism" as you grown older and understand the ways of the world. Comparing China to the US, having lived there for two years, you see the huge differences. If a student is fat or overweight, they're teased (pretty unmercifully) about it. Being overweight is not seen as a disability or something to be embraced or used as an excuse. And yet you see very very few obese people in Asia, except for the children of the very rich who are spoiled and spend all their time playing computer games and discovering all the latest apps on their cell phones. Menendez Brothers killed their parents....they were abused, so even though they planned to murder their parents with malice and forethought, excusable. In the end, every evil action in history can probably be excused. Numerous books have been written about Hitler's youth and childhood, looking for clues or reasons to explain the "pure evil" he later embodied. To go along with J4L's exaggerated point about Jaime Navarro, where does it end? Albert Belle had a tough childhood and was victimized by racism, so we should excuse his behavior towards fans? In the end, Adam Dunn would probably tell you himself that he let the pressure of the contract get to him, he came into the season unprepared physically, he came back too early from the appendectomy...he's not going to use his kid as an excuse for performance. Perhaps the boos that Rios and Dunn absorbed are what pushed them to be better players, in the end. Or can we still keep blaming Ozzie and the fans for the performances (or non-performances) of Joe Borchard, Josh Fields and Brian Anderson, for example? Brian Anderson was rushed to the majors, he was never allowed to experience failure, he was gifted enough to succeed without working hard until he got to the big leagues and then he was overwhelmed, Walker screwed him, Guillen hated him, he was too attractive to the ladies so he couldn't help but get sucked up into the Chicago nightlife scene, he wasn't properly instructed from a fundamentals standpoint by our minor league staff, blah blah blah. Can't we also excuse Ozzie for 90% of his Ozzieness because of growing up dirt poor in Venezuela? Is it really his fault where he came from? How can we hold him accountable, when he basically dropped out of school in his middle school years? We expect him to be like LaRussa, Scioscia, Maddon....who came from upper middle class backgrounds and has access to computers and great instructors growing up? The menendez brothers? Evil actions in history??? Hitler??? Followed by Brian Anderson???? WTF

2012-2013 NBA thread
again, that makes 1st rounders from the Nets and the Clippers, neither of whom will be close to the lottery in the next 4 seasons if this trade happens. I know orlando is trying to get something, but this is just a huge pile of s***. The owner needs to flog himself for buying into Dwights change of heart last season

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 04:37 PM) We'll see what Jay can do with this offense, talk to me about this again in a year or two when this offense gets a chance to get situated I firmly believe those stats are a result of megatron and have less to do with Stafford. He's not that talented And there's a lot of flaws in QBR Big Flaws in ESPN's Total QBR Exposed After Tim Tebow Rates Above Aaron Rodgers http://bleacherreport.com/articles/889199-...e-aaron-rodgers QBR: ESPN's Deeply Flawed Made-For-TV Stat http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Artic...or-TV_Stat.html So are you going to say Jays much better stats a year from now are only because of Marshall(assuming the better situated offense makes Jays stats better)? Of course Stafford has a great wide reciever to throw it to, that doesnt make him a lesser quarterback.- 2012-2013 NBA thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 12:57 PM) So a bunch of garbage and 3 or 4 first rounders. Which most likely will be garbage because the Nets will be good, so it isnt as if you are getting lottery- Catch-All Anything Thread

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 01:24 PM) Oh I agree, it's just why putting him on the mound with less than his best stuff was never going to work. 6 homers in 26 innings this year. Come on, the guy maxes out at 90, "less than his best stuff" is 86 instead of 87 mph. Maybe he just is getting burned because he isn't all that good.- GT: Toronto Blue Jays @ Chicago White Sox
QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 01:20 PM) Would you throw a strike if you faced a home run hitting club with the stuff he has today? Well throwing balls isn't really helping him either- White Sox may go after Starting Pitching
QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 09:54 AM) We absolutely do not have the resources from a talent perspective to land a top end starter. How many times have we said something like this only to see Kenny go and do just that?- GT: Toronto Blue Jays @ Chicago White Sox

Guardians of the Galaxy is supposed to dovetail with Thor. The next Thor movie is not supposed to take place on earth at all, im guessing that he is going to figure out how much Thanos has to do with everything.- GT: Toronto Blue Jays @ Chicago White Sox
GIFSoup- Post All-Star Break Rotation
QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:06 AM) Does anyone have a realistic expectation of when Danks will be back in the rotation? Sale Peavy Quintana Danks Floyd That looks like a nice rotation to me. It does, but I wonder if they would break up L-R-L-R-L Sale-Peavy-Danks-Floyd-Quintana Of course, when it rolls back over to Sale it would got L-L, but right now Quintana is on pace to go way past his previous innings mark. Maybe putting him as the 5th pitcher will give him a little rest and keep him fresher going to the end of the season. Just a thought, I certainly dont see anything wrong with your rotation order- 2012 Films Thread
QUOTE (Carter224 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 01:15 AM) After watching it I just thought about Spider-Man 3 and was like, jesus what a piece of s*** that movie was. And then thinking of the Green Goblin from the first one.. oh boy. I loved Spiderman 2, but the Lizard just shot past Doc Ock in my opinion. And I read somewhere that Spiderman fights more spider-like in this movie, and that was spot on. Especially in the school fight scene.- AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!
QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 06:12 PM) Dammit, these wins would be much more satisfying if the Indians/Tigers lost every now and then. But they just keep winning right along with us. That kind of stuff also deflates the chasers, though. Many times in the past decade I would be excited about a great, tough fought win only to look at the scoreboard to see the Twins come back on a team and render the Sox win moot.- AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!
