there is a lot of butthurt Cubs fans this morning complaining that WGN dared to switch to tornado coverage last night during the game

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 08:55 PM) He had a promising cup of coffee with the D-Backs a couple of years ago. And then our system got a hold of him.... Reed had a promising first couple years with the White Sox. And then the Dbacks got a hold of him.....

wait, Pete Rose lied?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 11:29 AM) I can't see I see teams actively trying to lose? If they trade Samardzija does that make active losers? much more than Samardzija

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 09:45 AM) Buxton never really had those killer numbers in the minors like Springer or Bryant. It may take him a while wasnt that due to injury?

I think the name definitely looks like a peripheral, but gamers aren't dumb they can figure out that it is a next gen system for Nintendo. The problem is always launch titles for them. They launched with Nintendoland and a bunch of ports. They needed to have Mario World 3d or MarioKart ready for launch, and they didn't have anything more than Pikmin on the way. Nintendo continues to march to their own tune though, and 3ds continues to sell games and make money for them so they don't seem to mind console mistakes

Gallo probably hopes he doesn't have to face Sale again this season

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) i really wonder if the owners really sees this team. if they do, aren't they pissed about it?? or are they that blind and think that they are doing a great job and the fans do not support them and that is why the team is doing how it is??? you really think that anyone in this organization thinks this? They are businessmen, they want to win because winning brings in more money. I dont think anyone is happy, from both a competitive and financial point of view

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 12:04 PM) You would have easily said the same thing about Tony LaRussa in 1986. Yet he still gets mentioned. Hawk still gets crap for firing him. Bobby Cox, Joe Torre, when they managed bad teams they had a bad record. If firing the manager or the hitting coach or the video guy or whatever made the White Sox win more games, fine. If it is just to appease meathead fans who won't go to games anyways, and the losing will continue so they will just move on to their next target, it makes no sense. again, blaming the "meathead" fans. If it isnt trolling with your "where are the fire steverson posts", or trolling with anything John Danks, are now trolling with "hey hawk fired Tony larussa same thing Amirite", you continue to blame the fans.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 11:05 AM) It's their nightmare let them dream it. Blame is the name of the game please

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 11:41 AM) But as Robin said, they practice it hundreds of times. There is no doubt that was Eaton's ball. Alexei shouldn't give the impression he is camping under it because, like most teams it will make the OF pull up. They shouldn't, but they do. It's still Eaton's fault all the way. People can blame Robin all they want. I just think that whichever other guy they want to have the job, if they were given the exact same circumstances, it's not like there would have been an extra 15-20 wins a year. IMO, firing Robin, and I don't think they will, isn't going to solve the problems. It will make some people happy, but they still won't go to games, and they will find someone else to blame when the same crap keeps happening. If Robin was fired today, and they continued to play like they have played, I am certain the fire Steverson threads would be popping up next. DA, you dont want to blame anyone except Soxtalk. Its never the players, managers, or coaches fault, just the people who are pissed off that this team looks and plays like s***

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 08:13 AM) with ref to stan and the salary cap i will explain later he was, at the time employed, to the best of my recollection, to another team. it was the like good ole boy connections. tallon did nothing to have been gotten rid off. however this past season, stan show his smarts in addressing that need in trading for additional talent. now this off season with the state of fa's on the team, now he will be able to put indelible mark on the history of this team, at least for me. The main reason the team had to be retooled after 2010 was because of Tallons mismanagement of the cap.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 02:20 AM) Hey you ain't seen nothing yet. Seventh pick today. This team may lose between 100-105 games. That should be good for the first pick or second. Should i bet the house on it?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 04:42 AM) Doesn't matter what his political views are. He is a raging racist. He said so himself yet the media and their Governor want to deny that is the motive. Fox keeps driving home that this is a religion motivated attack

well, after reading the first 20 pages i saw that Marty34, SOXOBAMA, and WHITESOXRANDY loved the move, and SoxBadger was for it as well. I dont see a lot of people agreeing with it, but I didnt go past 20 pages

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 05:46 PM) i will respect what you are saying, i just didn't think that was that much that needed to be retooled. however i will give bowman his dues. this yr he did a great job. signing richard making trades at the end, who cares if they were needed or not, it showed that he went out and got the team the players. ala mike keenan going out and getting gilmore and a dman. Come on now, look at the roster turnover from 2010 - 2013 - 2015. There was a tremendous amount of retooling

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 01:06 PM) How is it going to be worse? Is losing 95 games a year really that much worse than losing 90? You have to think the Marlins dont really feel they got much bang for their buck out of Miggy. I feel like that is worse

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 01:08 PM) There was a rumor he/Noesi were going to take Rodon's next start (against the Rangers) and let him take a breather. Unconfirmed, but logical. lol

United Passions is now the biggest flop in american history, grossing $918 and costing $27M to make. I just saw a trailer for Turbo Kid, and all i can think is it looks like Scott Pilgrim meets Mad Max http://screenrant.com/turbo-kid-trailer-michael-ironside/

Luhnow is denying that he used the same passwords in Ground Control. If that turns out to be true, then the Cardinals tried really damn hard to get in

Again, this is the type of thing that Bernstein would just go holier than thou against if someone else did it.

I hear Rick Hahn said trade chatter picked up

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) The numbers you mention Cowley reporting are in the ranges of the ones I heard and I was generally ok with the Bulls making those offers, but man if Butler can take a short term deal with an opt-out that winds up being a huge mistake. It could be a huge mistake either way. He could break his leg in a game and never sniff a max deal ever again. Both parties are looking forward to the cap getting increased, hopefully both parties can work something out and Jimmy can remain a bull for a long time (with no broken leg)

because yay there is a game tonite
