Seems like mandatory deadspin contrarianism, in that they believe in something only in that it allows them to take the opposite stance of an espn article. It is standard, but I think a loan system in the MLB would carry a lot more impact and raise a lot more problems than the loan system in the Soccer leagues. I would be furious if Sale blew out his arm and all the sox got were some prospects for their troubles.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) I'd be OK with all of this if the Sox got reprimanded or fined over this issue. And this exhibition game would be considered way more than that if the Sox made the WS. We'd get the first two games in the great city of Chicago not have to wait. please, greg. go to applebees or something

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 02:08 PM) that is not how it works When Gray pulled himself from the game, MLB sent Hector Santiago in his place. So MLB would have had to select another White Sox player since they would have had had no representative if Sale didn't go. How do you know this? DO you work in the MLB office? And what if the Sox didnt want Roberston pitching? Then your panties would really be in a bunch over it and we would have another thread where you would hate life because of an exhibition game

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 01:52 PM) Sonny Gray pulled himself from the game because he pitched Sunday. Why do that instead of just showing up and not pitching??? Remember when Pujols trashed LaRussa for not playing him in an All star game??? I have no problem that Sale didn't pitch. But why not let him stay home and send another White Sox pitcher to tha game?? Robertson would have pitched for example. I bet Sale really wanted to pitch once he got there. Um, ok. So the Sox just get to select anyone and send them to the game if a player isnt playing? Wasnt aware that was how it works

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 01:32 PM) Well he speaks from experience having played in the game twice. Did you ever get the chance??? Oh, i will just see myself right out of here for never having played major league baseball in my life before. You can run the place now before I leave http://nextimpulsesports.com/2015/07/14/ha...-all-star-game/

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 07:31 AM) You could be right, but not according to Harold Reynolds. He said every player thinks it is great to make the team but you really want to play. I wonder what Sale really though as he sat watching Yea, but Harold Reynolds is a moron.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 04:11 AM) A.J. Burnett Michael Wacha Jon Papelbon Carlos Martinez Shelby Miller Brad Box berger Darren O'Day Kelvin Herrera Sonny Gray Chris Sale Available All-Stars who all didn't pitch last night. The horror. Will they still get participation trophies? Wait a second, the FEARLESS Ned Yost didn't pitch Kelvin Herrera? How is this possible? Yost is afraid of nothing, this must be a misprint

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 14, 2015 -> 09:04 PM) I just don't get a.) why the White Sox would care if Sale pitches tonight. Very rarely do you hear about something this petty being requested when a guy is already on 2 days rest. b.) why Sale even made the trip. he should be embarrassed and furious he's being coddled like this as a member of a last place team. I don't get why you don't understand that a: teams don't give up on playing competitively at the all star break because fans on Kansas feel that they are out of the race at 4 games under and 80 to play, and b: Chris Sale is representing the White Sox as a selected All Star, which is an honor even though he has done it before. He isn't being coddled, his team would rather him be ready for his normal start on normal rest and normal side sessions, instead of uncertainty from pitching an EXHIBITION game.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jul 14, 2015 -> 03:50 PM) Dude are you ****ing kidding me. /greg'd

So who picks up the bill if a career altering injury happens?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 14, 2015 -> 03:09 PM) When has buying old veterans ever worked? Youkilis is the only one I can remember and we gave up next to nothing for him, as Valentine channeled Ozzie in his ferocity in wanting the player off his team. (The subsequent Williams moves for veterans that year didn't help at all.) Aramiz Ramirez is 37 and has an OPS of .692. Difference maker or silly hero worship? The thing about Aramis is that he really should cost next to nothing. He is retiring after this season, this would be a chance for him to possibly help a team get into a wildcard race. Anything the Sox give up for him should be monetary, not personnel. The Brewers would be replacing him next year no matter what

Per his agent, Johnny Oduya is moving on from the Blackhawks. Good luck Johnny

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 14, 2015 -> 02:00 PM) Trust me. Nobody is concerned about an advantage in a series against a lousy sox team. Hope sale gets the win tonite Trust me, you have no idea what you are talking about

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 14, 2015 -> 02:00 AM) This is crazy. Yost is not scared of the White Sox for goshsakes and not scared of Sale pitching for the White Sox. Sale happens to be a helluva pitcher and if I were the manager of the AL I'd f***ing want to pitch him as well. This is stupid. The Royals own the White sox no matter who is pitching. Why the hell would Yost care about the White Sox this weekend? Even if KC dropped all four, they'd be way ahead of the pathetic White Sox. I don't mind discussion but this one is just dumb. Yost is manager of the AL team and Sale is one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. Of course he SHOULD pitch Tuesday. As a Sox fan and viewing I WANT him to pitch in the all star game. after reading this, Tonite is spaghetti with meatballs night in the mcmahon household

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 14, 2015 -> 08:39 AM) The pitcher could not throw until the ball landed. But yeah some were better than others at it. Pujols was especially slow. Frazier was not doing that at all

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 10:38 PM) I thought they were showing replays during Frazier's at bats. They'd show a HR nearly landing and then he'd launch another. It was awesome. He was the only one that did it the right way. He had his brother rapid fire pitches, just keep swinging. Prince would have won if he didnt admire his bombs

Pujols hasn't won yet, but I think Bryant's dad cost him. He threw it all over the place

These guys need to stop watching the homers and just swing

Nice opening act, MLB. Lmao

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 01:09 PM) but do you believe what sports pro are saying..... isn't that also a rumor??? at what point do you say it is not, when 2 or 3 different sports mags rpt it??? gm and org goes to these sports mags all the time to leak info. just as they do for baseball. if you feel this way about this in hockey, do you have the same opinion with baseball or the nba or the nfl??? a gm job has the major responsibility to be prepare. even when their team is in the SC final. those trade ideas and talks will not stop b/c of the SC Finals. great enjoy and celebration, and then get to work. there is only less than 2 weeks from the final to the draft. you are completely missing my point. Im not saying rumors have zero truth, I am saying that (with every sport) you should take them with a grain of salt. You have completely trashed bowman both for having the audacity to have his father as an advisor and also for theoretically setting a price way too high for sharp and not moving him during or before the draft. Without being privy to any of the conversations that Bowman had with other GMs, its really hard for me to sit here and rip him for a trade that wasnt made when i have no idea what offers were passed back and forth.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 12:55 PM) As LDF stated, his return he was looking for for Sharp was a 1st round pick, a young roster player on his ELC, and a top prospect. Again, none of us know what was discussed with ANY teams, and all of what we hear is rumors. You cant come out and say Bowman got fleeced/failed/ etc after the draft when none of us know what was discussed. What if another GM floats a total lowball offer to Bowman who declines it, and that GM goes to TSN and anonymously reports that Bowman is asking for the moon in order to get Bowman to try and aim lower? Sharp had to be moved, it sucks. People didnt want Johns to be included, that sucks too. But to indict Bowman for having to deal with the financial difficulties that the NHL presents, a mere month after they took the stanley cup, is both shortsighted and misinformed. This isnt Brock for Broglio

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 12:38 PM) yeah, i too didn't like that a. johns was added, concerning what the hawks gave up, and 2. the saad trade and giving up both saad and the dman. ref to sharp, every gm knew the hawks had to trade sharp and no one was going to help. esp with bowman asking price. bowman did it to himself. well either way, most should know what i am going to say so i won't. i just hope that the the rest of the summer isn't as bad as it was these last 2 weeks. now to see if the russian line will do ok and if the rest of the team will gell. Tell me, without any rumor, exactly what Bowman asked for.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 10:18 AM) The new trailer for Batman/Superman: Dawn of Justice looks great, but all I could think was people are going to hate it. Why is there no jokes!! Be funny! I can't really don't know about Suicide Squad. Trailer was better than expected, but I still can't get over the Joker looking a singer from a 90's Nu-metal band. I also saw they are making an animated movie about of the comic Batman: The Killing Joke. One of the best comics ever made, artwork and story. They should make into a real life movie, but it's not funny so they probably know people will hate it. Why do you feel like people dont like these movies because there is not as much humor as Marvel? That is the last of any reasons I dont like Man of Steel, and also the last of any reasons I thought BvS trailer looked like a mess. BvS looks like a soup with every possible ingredient thrown in, hoping that something stands out. Usually when movies are made like that, they end up pretty bland (XMen 3: The Last Stand) and pretty bad.
