@whitesox: First pitch is estimated for 9:05.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 10:33 AM) Which is more likely, Terry Francona will be in the HoF for managing, or Robin Ventura? Wait, I know. If Robin had the same teams as LaRussa, Torre and Cox, he would surely be without peer in managerial renown compared to that formidable triumvirate. If you go by pythagorean (hello Phil Rogers), he is the best manager in the AL and Bob Melvin is far and away the worst (+5 vs -10). Gibbons in TOR would be second worst (-7). Mattingly is the worst at -4 in the NL, and Magician Joe Maddon is only at +1 with all those lucky or fluke wins. Buck Showalter, -3, not such a genius. Lloyd McClendon, +3, another candidate for an extension. Give everyone contract extensions with all that overachieving!!! If Ventura gets away to another team much closer to home, surely he will take the Angels to the World Series and beyond. ummmmm wat

Everyone likes large cookies though

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 11:15 AM) Jennings is back. Guerra sent down. that sound you just heard was Feeky cursing somewhere in Ireland

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 11:19 AM) Don't see that on their twitter Score update just reported it. I didnt look, just posted it

RealGM tweeting that Butler has accepted the 5/90M deal

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 10:31 AM) A dude I didn't know on Facebook legit thought that guys chose to be gay because they can't get girls. It was the dumbest argument I ever got involved in. sounds like a total dumbass

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 09:48 AM) Ummm...should we have a poll with nine other managers along with Robin and you can see how few besides yourself (Greg will pick Ozzie) would have the best record since 2012 if they had been managing the same exact White Sox rosters from that point until July 1st, 2015? Tell us who you think would have a worse record and why? Sandberg? Ozzie? Who else? Buddy Bell? Joey Cora? Jim Fregosi? Davey Johnson? Valentine? Washington? Remember, Francona also has White Sox ties, back to the Barons' team with Michael Jordan two decades ago. 2-4 games per season is the difference between making the playoffs and just missing out most years. Im sure that poll would be very accurate

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 09:26 AM) Dragic to Heat at 5/90. Have to imagine they'll keep Wade. That starting 5 is definitely scary for the east. Maybe even good enough to knock of the cavs if they are healthy. Also woj say Spurs are the favorite for Aldridge. Quite the replacement for Duncan. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH thats funny QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 09:53 AM) The Bulls also began casting a wide net to add a veteran guard. Rodney Stuckey, Gary Neal, Mo Williams, J.J. Barea and Jeremy Lin are just some on the Bulls' list, sources said. - kcjohnson i dont want Linsanity. He would get backup quarterback treatment to the extreme

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 09:08 AM) At least with the five recent ones, doesn't appear any were hate crimes/due to race: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/30/us/no-ev...rches.html?_r=0 LMAO. yea, all vandalism.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 08:25 AM) Really enjoyed watching him pitch with the dead-center camera angle in St. Louis. It allowed you to see the movement on his pitches so much differently. That's the gold standard for baseball viewing on TV. oh so now they have the worlds best fans and the gold standard for baseball viewing. F*** this bull****

It must really suck to trust your career to an agent, and have that agent play chicken with a front office and lose.

I like him very much

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 03:46 PM) I heard another Steve Stone say he had no desire to do this. He likes what he's doing now. It is much easier to stand to the side and point out what is wrong, than it is to get in and try and fix it. Im sure Steve has seen many people he considers to be incredibly smart baseball men fail at that job, and doesnt want to become one of them

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 01:12 PM) The optimism last offseason didn't work out so well for those who had it. s*** happens. 2 years ago the Angels were the offseason darlings after bringing in Pujols, Hamilton and CJ Wilson, expected to contend for a title. They fell flat on their faces and every player expected to put them over the top floundered. They flipped things around and corrected their course in one season. Of course your response will be something along the lines of "why should i trust this organization to do the same thing?" and I cant answer that for you. You gave up on the team and front office, there is no argument i can make that will make you change your mind.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 12:27 PM) And while I agree, if you're down enough on this franchise as I am such that you expect this team to continue losing for several years...comparing "rebuilding with the best pieces we could get for Chris Sale" and "letting Chris Sale be the dominant player on a losing team until he is traded in 2018 or gets hurt" at least motivates consideration of the "take the best offer you can" option. nobody is as down on this franchise as you at the moment

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 12:23 PM) I think that's really because it's impossible to get his value. Sale is worth more than any player in baseball not named Trout or Harper. You could almost say more than both of them as well because of his ridiculous deal. Either way, it is nitpicking, Sale's value is off the charts

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 11:58 AM) Sports writers are frustrated college boys/girls who couldn't make it in the sports arena so they write about it with little knowledge of the subject. Frustration is ruling the day so the writer jumps on the bandwagon LMAO omg

Broussard SAUCES say that Butler postponed meetings with LAL, BOS, PHI and DAL after the bulls offer

Our good friend Ronald Belisario, doing Ronald Belisario things http://deadspin.com/sometimes-its-hard-to-...tter-1714828376

I dont see why this is evidence, as if it is a hidden agenda. Pretty much all of the chicago media wants changes to the Sox, starting with Ventura

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 09:56 PM) 101.1 Chicago is relatively new and very good lol

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 29, 2015 -> 02:37 PM) I'm not worried about that, I'm just worried about him not being good at hockey anymore. I guess if you can get him on the cheap. He is only 30, it isnt like he is Roszival ancient and his best years are long gone

Was Richards involved in that situation where the LA Kings player(Stoll?) was busted with ecstacy and coke?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 29, 2015 -> 01:28 PM) No, but KC Johnson had an article addressing it using only Gar Forman as his source denying it. which leads me to believe it is true and there is a huge beef. I thi k KC Johnson seems like a good writer but he has proven to be incredibly out of touch with the real rumblings of the team. It is no secret that KC is the front office mouthpiece
