QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 06:39 PM) Matt Lindstrom was hated by this board. When he got injured there were several posts indicating it was actually a blessing. I will say it again, if losing Jones and Lindstrom makes your bullpen the worst in baseball, it wasn't anywhere near average to begin with. Total mischaracterization. Nobody wanted the guy closing, he is a setup guy.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 06:27 PM) I don't see why we couldn't leave Jake in. He's easily been our best reliever this year, why not leave him in against Seattle's best hitter? I was disappointed Petricka was removed as well

I just want to say, if Beckham makes that play on Saunders it is still a tie game

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 05:33 PM) Right when I turn on the game I see Belisario throw it to the screen and let up a run.. How did we give up the lead in the 9th? It was bad. So, just go with that

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 05:32 PM) Nice pitch out. That is a Bob Eucker special

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 05:10 PM) Too bad Abreu can't field like that. I do like Abreu though. Yea, he is no good http://mlb.mlb.com/r/video?content_id=34311955 When did this happen? Oh yea, today

I am wondering when Simmons will send out another tweet indicating that Reinsdorf is a cheap penny pincher and would never allow the amnesty or cut of a player because he has never done it before

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 01:56 PM) Josh Gordon arrested....Dude needs the Dez Bryant treatment. He is past that now. He is not gonna be in the league this year

Papa johns is s*** I still like dominos and Pizza Hut pan pizzas, I love the fried crust. But their alternate pizzas are just terrible. In my area I will eat Rosatis, Taylor St Pizza, and Dominicks Pizza

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 08:59 AM) Per usual, Broussard just made it all up. How that bigoted clown still has a job is beyond me. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baske...0,7047449.story I just don't see what purpose it served to put out that bad info. It isn't as if Melo was gonna read that tweet and say "s*** I'm going to NYK/LA/Houston now" Broussard has been blasted for it, and it was pretty much immediate.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 01:59 PM) Just unreal. Just Broussard

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 09:47 AM) If the Bulls sign him they can't trade him for 30 days. So that's some more cap space they don't have for Melo. Mirotic hasn't been signed. Nothing happens until Melo decides

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 09:31 AM) Well doesn't that end the Melo chase? Melo ends the Melo chase.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 08:46 PM) Actually a lot of reports were saying that Knicks CAN but Phil might not want to offer him max. Just playing devils (Brousssard) advocate. Phil already said he would offer the Max if that's what it takes, only that he prefers Melo to take less so he can build http://mweb.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-baske...ax?v=1&vc=1

Sources: Broussard is reporting what Phil said last week as if it is brand new info. Everyone knew Melo was going to get the Max in New York.

I will be disappointed of course, but it isn't like I felt he was coming to Chicago 100 percent. If it doesn't happen, the Bulls need to move on quickly and decisively. And by that I do not mean Mirotic, the end.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 03:23 PM) I don't make decisions that affect the country. I am not in that group. In fact, I've yet to ever invade a country, to the best of my sober knowledge. That comparison just got a C-section. You can vote, so you can make decision that affects the country. sort of

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 02:07 PM) Knicks fans are also saying if they take Boozer we gotta take Smith....Which I'm all for. Smith has a little bit of Nate Robinson in him and Thibs kinda made that work. If they take on Smith that leaves 1 less hole to fill with the the 2 exceptions they have. I think Thibs would kill Smith as soon as he went rogue. Which will be the first official practice

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 02:00 PM) I just don't think "1 extra day off every 3-4 weeks" is in any way ridiculous or excessive, and especially for a guy who has never played 150 games seems like a really smart precaution. Especially with the sheer number of 1b we're carrying on this roster. I just dont think it is that simple. Does today count as a day off to you? Or is it only when he doesnt play a game, that it is counted as a day off?

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Absolutely. The only exception is when a guy goes into a game with a set pitch count from the get-go, like Sale's first start after the DL. Otherwise, he keeps going. I think Edwin Jackson threw over 150 pitches when he threw a no hitter. he also walked an obscene number of guys, i think 8

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 01:27 PM) I just can't figure out why its impossible to have a middle ground. We play him every day so much so that he struggles for a week and then hits the disabled list, basically costing him 2/3 of the month of May. He then resumes playing every day in June. I'll admit I was wrong coming into this season, I thought Robin would wind up playing Konerko too often to get the veteran playing time. Instead we play Abreu until he breaks down and winds up on the DL because off days are for the weak. I know you are under the assumption that playing many games = DL, but it isnt always the case. The guy seems to be past his ankle issue right now, i dont see him limping, he is hustling down the line, making diving plays at first. If you start to see the guys production dip and he starts showing signs of his ankles bothering him, of course he needs a breather, but he is getting better as the month has gone along.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 01:08 PM) Just to point out...as of yesterday, the White Sox have played 28 games since Jose Abreu came off the disabled list. Since coming off the disabled list, Jose Abreu has played 28 complete games. That "day off" someone said he would get? Yup. and his numbers show he is obviously suffering for it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 11:53 AM) Personally, I don't differentiate. That is full blown cheating as far as I'm concerned (violation of trust). Regarding vacation, probably would be best for one of the parties not to be there, otherwise, hard for the kids to even enjoy themselves. It is definitely a violation of trust, im just saying that my level of function would be much better without the act. either way, i hope everything works out for you athome. Terrible thing to find out

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 11:51 AM) Cool. I see there is a hole in the bottom. As such I don't think I'd use it for beer, I think I'd stick my willy through the hole on the bottom and use the coozie as a hat for my balls. But if girls saw it, they would say "He gone!" and be disinterested. Food for thought
