Flowers is constantly 0-2

Noesi is good until he is not. Then he is really bad

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 04:00 PM) You and many others in this thread are being too logical. That can get you in trouble. Ask any marriage counselor. Boras has a history of not being logical, just greedy. His history with White Sox also shows a hint of vindictiveness. Not sure where it started. My logic, which is often flawed, says that Rodon would be better taking the money now and getting to work instead of drinking beer, eating potato chips, and whatever else 21 year olds do these days. Boras is 100 percent logical for his clients and himself.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 05:11 PM) Are you telling me Bargnani was not the key to their playoff run? They didn't make the playoffs? Deadspin has a wonderful collection of Bargnani excellence http://deadspin.com/tag/andrea-bargnani

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 05:01 PM) Bingo. + a first round pick, for a guy who you'd literally get nothing for. In a team that is cap-f***ed like the Knicks, that is a nice deal. Cap f***ed and devoid of first rounders due to dealing them all for garbage

oh yea this guy

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 08:27 AM) It does seem light especially considering Bowden's reputation when he was a GM. He was known for demanding ridiculous prices for his players. He can be silly and nonchalant about it since he has no dog in the fight

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 12:41 PM) I don't think he was overlooked, he was one of the most popular bears players. I'm not that sad, i'd love if we could find a longsnapper that is a legitimate backup. Last year we had 2 players whose sole worth was special teams (Hester/Mannelly) I am saying the position itself is largely thankless and overlooked. Mannelly is definitely appreciated by Chicago

Patrick Mannelly announced his retirement today at 39 years old. He had a job that was largely thankless and overlooked, but he did it very well for a very long time.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 11:12 AM) Except for Anna Kendrick singing Titanium in the shower... The funny thing is that's exactly what Marty or Ayn Rand would also say. Since 2005, maybe there is this idea coming from ownership that the fans "owe" the White Sox their loyalty/allegiance and discretionary dollars, as if they were Shakespeare in the Park or a ballet company operating as a non-profit/501-c-3. Well, as all research proves, you lose the goodwill from a World Series title after about 5 seasons, and that's exactly what happened...despite that 26-5 run in 2010, not making the playoffs that year and then the disastrous 2011 season with Rios/Dunn/Ozzie becoming a joke and the running feud with KW turned off a lot of fans who were willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. there is so much caulfieldian language in this post i simply cannot stop reading it Movie Reference 2005 reference at least 3 current and ex players all mentioned inference that another poster would say something and cherry on top Ayn Rand reference

SIGN ALL OF DA CUBANS

So what we learned today is In-game performance is indeed affected by whomever starts the gamethread

How bout not that pitch anymore

We won 13-7, but our game got called in the bottom of the 6th when the lightning alarm went off.

Goodbye Izzy Idonije. It's been real

@kfishbain: Per @BradBiggs, the Bears have informed TE Fendi Onobun he will be released. He had two drops today and another yesterday. Goodbye Fendi Brickhands

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) So, the end of pre-draft workouts if you can get hurt doing one? Wonder how much money that cost him. Considering his pre-existing injury issues, I wouldnt imagine too much. Some team is either going to take a Portland sized chance on him, or they are going to all let him fall

eh, McMahon probably doesnt remember the martin hit or the superbowl rings anyways

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) Also Hahn may hvae very well dumped Reed for nothing just like Kenny dumped Santos for nothing. Kenny had Teahen, Hahn had Keppinger, salarywise pretty much the same. Kenny didn't trade a couple vets when it was time, Hahn let Floyd and Crain get hurt, got basically nothing out of Thornton, etc. Hahn isn't some savior or anything. He's been aggressive but the biggest moves he's made were 2 extensions to players who already got her on KW's watch and a free agent signing out of Cuba. The Peavy deal we will have to wait on. I agree they should have moved Floyd, but he didnt let Crain get hurt. The guy came out of spring training twice with shoulder issues related to a shoulder surgery he had a while ago. Thornton was at the end of the rope, he was having trouble getting lefties out anymore. It wasnt like both of those players were at their peak and the package wasnt desirable. Floyd, they sat on him for 2 seasons too long

@SouthSideSox: Seriously, Daniel Bard's line: 18 batters faced over two-thirds of an inning, 9 BB, 7 HBP, 175.50 ERA.

All of Jose Abreu's 20 home runs in a handy little video

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 05:36 PM) Nothing apparently. First day on the job and the game thread title lasted the whole game with a typo and was also improperly formatted. Good job, good effort new mods. Sometimes you have to let those errors hang, Otherwise you guys will never learn.

I like it when Chris talks all fancy
