No, it's kind of someone's job to protect yourself from something like this, not predict it. The NFL is littered with bad guys, in every locker room, you cannot insulate yourself from all of them. They gave this guy a nice non guaranteed chance and he blew it immediately. It's egg on the face for sure, but there isn't any long term ramifications here.

Shark, not Shart Nice to see Soto come through with the double

What the f***ing f***

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 22, 2015 -> 04:07 PM) If you were to compare gamethreads from 2011-2015 with 2005-2008, you're telling me the sheer numbers and quality are higher right now? I don't mean one or two day blips when there's a major trade or injury. If the numbers are improving, how can that be running in the face of tv ratings and attendance, unless the growth is directly related to the implosion of WSI and absorbing new members and guests from over there? Is Sox fandom shrinking/contracting or simply relocating/migrating/hibernating? You are the one throwing a 40% drop off in soxtalk membership compared to 05-08. Why don't you go ahead and prove it. This site is thriving despite a huge drop in messageboard usage everywhere. Not only thriving, expanding, growing, and evolving.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 22, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) On the other hand, seven years is a long time to wait for things to turn around with no or little reward as a fan. Casual fans, they fall to the wayside. Just look at SoxTalk and WSI from 2005-2008 and compare with today. There's been the same 40% or higher dropoff as evidenced by the attendance downtrend. Not rocket science. If you're born a White Sox fan...and hardwired for it, there's never a thought of changing allegiances, any more than you change your biological family. Yea this is wrong

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 21, 2015 -> 03:16 PM) Nelson Cruz, hitting a .351 that obviously won't stand up for 4 more months...probably the best signing of the off-season, not that it's helping Mariners lead their division because of Cano's pedestrian stats and troubles in the starting rotation (Iwakuma/Walker). Nah, he is due to pee in a cup sometime soon

i stand corrected

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 21, 2015 -> 12:21 PM) The other thing to remember is that any team taking Thibs is doing the Bulls a favor by preventing the Bulls from paying 2 coaches at once. The only way they pay 2 coaches at once is if Thibs doesnt coach next season, so the bulls are in pretty good shape unless Thibs goes into a cave

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 21, 2015 -> 11:42 AM) I'm sorry...that was on the ump. Harper shouldn't have been tossed. The ump and Williams couldn't finish their argument and then the ump got short with Harper, who had already gotten back in the box and then stepped out because of the continued back and forth between the ump and williams. that was 50/50 doucheness, everyone gets blame

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 21, 2015 -> 10:18 AM) No leverage hurts. Everyone knows he's gone. I wonder if Thibs will mess with them and take a year off while the Bulls are paying him. I think that goes against every strand of Thibs DNA

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 20, 2015 -> 10:29 PM) Doesn't matter, Harper still shouldn't of gotten thrown out in the 3rd inning because he didn't get in the box quick enough. Thats not the only reason he was thrown out. It was just the last thing he did

QUOTE (farmteam @ May 20, 2015 -> 08:41 PM) What I didn't quite understand was that it seemed like cops knew this was gonna happen. A lot of cops were already there before the actual violence started. So on one hand, why the hell didn't Twin Peaks do anything (I saw one of the sergeants on site absolutely blasted both the franchise and corporate for not working with police), and on the other, weren't the innocent patrons a little concerned when they saw that many cops? The whole situation is really weird. I know I would have left if 170 bikers showed up and started jawing at each other

I hate ambulance chasers
