Nick Swisher just had surgeries on both knees. I bet Cleveland loves that contract now

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 03:03 PM) Yes. Play more golf. Wait, this is supposed to help him get off the ledge? you, shack, are sadistic

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 01:03 PM) Would you still sit him during the 2nd half of a b2b if he was averaging 30 minutes per game? That was the specific thing stated and it is something Thibs has never done. When did this happen? The season before he injured his ACL when they went to the Conference finals? Because his time with Thibs consists of one full season, an injury filled season where his time was spotty at best, and that quick couple games last season. Go ahead and keep pounding Thibs for it though.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 11:50 AM) I worry about the hesitation I'm seeing this year, the total lack of moves even just to clear guys out. Last year we at least cleared some guys out to create roles for people or signings. That hasn't happened since training camp started and it should have. I dont think it is hesitation as much as lack of interest. Peavy was far more interesting and affordable than Danks could ever be right now. Rios also trumps Beckham and Dunn. I think injuries to Lindstrom/Jones and belly flops from Beckham and Belisario really hurt any dealings that Hahn could get going, and probably resulted in the Sox having to pay too much to make it worth it. I wanted these guys moved too, but we see these guys every day. We know what they are really worth

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 10:17 AM) I think that a variety of trades for guys we haven't even guessed about yet, as happened last offseason, is much more likely than the White Sox spending $50 million and giving up several draft picks and much of their signing bonus pool. I believe that they have the framework of a deal worked out, based on Hahns comments after the deadline. Hopefully it means shipping Danks out and bringing a RHP in

in a recent interview Sting brought up Bray Wyatt as someone he would like to work with.

I dont even think the White Sox current ownership structure would interest Cuban. Reinsdorf is majority owner, but it isnt like he owns 49 percent. I would think Cuban would want a big stake in ownership

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 08:42 AM) I hope Abattacola has something to tweet about Ditka or is he ascared? That show hasnt shied from criticizing Ditka. At all

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) True. The Sox don't stand a chance against good teams with a good manager. No chance at all. There aren't many great managers, though. But Baltimore has one. I believe the Sox record vs +.500 teams is decent and their record vs bad teams is terrible

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) What happened to The Magic Glasses? Voldemort

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 06:12 PM) Not everyone Harrelson hasn't seen eye to eye with has "lost" to Hawk. LaRussa's revenge was the rest of his career after he left Chicago. It's not the same as a media member such as Cowley, Mariotti or Abattacola, but the point remains. And isn't Cowley still covering the Bulls for the Sun-Times? Did he get fired? Mostly, his relationship with the White Sox was filtered through Ozzie Guillen, and once Ozzie was gone, his "inside source" was cut. That's less about Harrelson and more about the way he put himself in a corner as a beat writer by losing his objectivity about the team. Hawk fired Larussa and has continued with the white sox, hence "outlasted" him The end

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 05:12 PM) LaRussa is getting his Bobblehead Night soon at US Cellular, so not 100%. Yea that doesn't make any sense

If I were hawk, I would seriously nominate B&B and Abbattacola. If they decline, they are huge b****es. And I think they are too proud to accept

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) I disagree. I don't get into this mix much but all I can say is you are severely underscoring Mannely's smarts and ability to speak and handle the role. Will there be growing pains, certainly, but guy has loads of potential and brings a lot of real insights and articulate conversation to the mix. Growing pains are reserved for timeslots other than midday and afternoon drive. This is an important timeslot and you need to put your best foot forward, way too much uncertainty for me

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 02:11 PM) I think that the new Co-Host will be Patrick Mannelly. Not sure if that makes sense when it's not football season but just a hunch. i like Patrick Mannelly and I like his contributions in his small time at the score, but i think that would be a tremendous mistake in an important timeslot. You simply cannot replace Mac with a guy who has been doing the job for less than 3 months. Actually, he really has never done the job. He has been an analyst on a few shows and sat in with Spiegel a few times, but he has absolutely no experience in that job. that would be Hamp & Holmes disaster part 2

rubber or not, that s*** looks like it HURTS http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/14/f..._n_5678973.html

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 11:06 AM) This is true. Given that you know the cameras are on you 24-7, he needs to find a more subtler way to return trash talk. He needs to show that it doesnt get to him before he starts trash talking. Flipping them the bird shortly after Orakpo did the money grab showed he has thin skin, and you can bet that other teams are gonna do the same thing to him until he shows that it doesnt matter to him.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 09:52 AM) My biggest worry is who will be 2nd scorer to take pressure off Beane or if he's off? O'Brien and Smithpeters will have to take a step forward, and either Lavender or Fletcher(whoever isnt redshirting). I really dont know what to expect from Bola this year. He was two different players last year, the end of the season he was a beast, and in the beginning he looked like 5 fouls in 1 minute.

it will be weird to have more than one guy on the team over 6'4"

Avi has been the goods since he came back. I love watching him play

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 12:05 AM) Manziel flipped off the Redskins sideline. As if he and the Browns need more media attention. Orakpo did the money grab at Manziel after he dropped him for a sack too.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 18, 2014 -> 09:45 PM) Jesus, that was a hangar. The double whatever, but you can't make that pitch with 2 strikes to Markakis. I had a feeling Lindstrom was gonna let this thing go

Matty Ice. Amirite Feeky?

I love when Belisarios first pitch goes all the way to the backstop because it is uncatchable

QUOTE (TRU @ Aug 18, 2014 -> 06:22 PM) Was that WM battle royal suppose to mean anything? I kind of looked at it like a non important time filler While the match meant nothing, he very obviously gained momentum during that match and the crowd popped huge when he put Show over. And it carried over to the next day on RAW. For a guy whose character was looking to break through, that was a perfect springboard.
