QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) So you never, ever suggest that you think a GM or manager is doing something wrong in any of your posts and you believe you should just trust them? Lets not confuse occasionally criticizing decisions with having an obvious agenda. In no way do I think Robin is perfect, but you would find a way to criticize a decision robin made if the Sox won the World Series 15-0 on a sale no hitter and 4 Abreu home runs

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2014 -> 02:28 PM) If you're going to fall back on the "you don't know what's happening in the clubhouse" thing then the only reasonable way to evaluate a manager is based on what's on the field, and last year's team was worse than eating cheerios soaked in urine. As opposed to falling back on backseat driving, to which I would say enjoy your breakfast

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2014 -> 02:12 PM) So you're saying he's had 6 more offdays than Jose Abreu so far? I mean come on, I'll give Robin credit for not benching him way too often like I thought he would once Konerko was signed, but why does everything have to be the extreme? We have 2 other guys being paid who can play 1b/DH on this roster and the guy carrying the team who has never played 100 games in a season doesn't even get a day off when he actually gets hurt. Why is it so hard to have just a little bit of balance and put him on pace for 150 games instead of 162? What I'm saying is honestly you have no idea what you are talking about and you have no idea what happens within that clubhouse, yet you sit here and act like you do. These men are professionals, all of them. Don't pretend to give Robin credit, all you do is act like he peed in your Cheerios last season and you can't get over it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2014 -> 01:21 PM) I know, I mean, the White Sox have played 43 games and Jose Abreu has only started 42 of them! He had a day where he only was a pinch hitter! He's had like 3 extra at-bats off! That's not extreme in the least. Can you believe that the tigers have played 37 games and Miguel Cabrera has played in ALL 37 OF THEM??!! The horror!! Fire ausmus he is new and doesn't know what he is doing and he disregards everything everyone tells him including the trainer, and let's Cabrera do whatever he wants. And Cabrera has had so many leg and ankle problems. People need to stand up and take notice of these travesties

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 17, 2014 -> 01:28 PM) Wait...he's taking kicks now?? Taking kicks, not kicking. As in returning

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 17, 2014 -> 12:58 PM) I honestly believe his excuse. (And that's rare for me) So I read he got busted for the same thing that Manny got busted for, Clomid, which is a female fertility drug, and also what steroid users take when they are cycling down. I don't really buy it because there is no reason he should be taking a female fertility drug. And the NFL isn't buying his excuse either http://www.indystar.com/story/colts-inside...stance/9210225/

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 17, 2014 -> 10:16 AM) Nobody saw "Million Dollar Arm" yet? I can wait 3 months for it to be the HBO Saturday night movie

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2014 -> 09:24 AM) At least the White Sox major league roster has a clear record this year of being solidly healthy and ready to go every day, because if this team had spent the first couple months of the year badly banged up and missing multiple pieces people might start wondering if Ventura's refusal to rest people could be connected to that. Ah, because you know everything that goes on in the clubhouse, right? You have all of the information available to the entire team so you can draw perfect conclusions, right? And apparently every other team is perfectly healthy and robin has obviously made mistakes that no other manager has ever made

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ May 17, 2014 -> 09:13 AM) Sometimes people just get on Ventura merely for the hell of it. My God, we're talking about a day off! Yes,he said he would give him a day off (or maybe 2), and yes, he hasn't given him that day off as of yet. And...So what? He was also supposed to be off the game he hit the 3 run homer against Oakland. His ankle isn't going to spontaneously combust from playing these games. After all, he was off on THURSDAY!!!! Can we not criticize Ventura for one freaking game (a game we won, mind you)? Welcome to soxtalk! Breeding ground for future mlb coaches, gms, trainers, and managers!

Sometimes when Dunn hits one like he did, I genuinely worry about people in the bleachers

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ May 16, 2014 -> 12:55 PM) Ebersol is probably the homerun hire in that group. He would be able to stand up to owners and actually lead while helping craft the game so that is more consumable to TV audiences. So he wont get it. Ebersol lost a s*** ton of money for NBC on the Olympics, I don't know that he is even a singles hire, much less a homerun

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 16, 2014 -> 09:18 PM) Sierra with a couple good AB's He hasn't been perfect, but he has shown a lot since he started with the Sox

QUOTE (Brian @ May 16, 2014 -> 07:20 PM) Finally watched MONSTERS since Godzilla is all the hype. It's solid. Nothing great. Guessing it's how Godzilla is structured. Not too much monsters, lots of characters. Eh, once the monsters start up, it gets past the characters

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 16, 2014 -> 03:32 PM) Mully and Hanley I don't catch him often but the two times I have he brings some very valid points as to how this rebuild has gained zero traction. He has no blind cubbie faith which is odd for any cubs beat writer. He is the one pounding the fact that Ricketts has no money and the rebuild is hurting because of it.

Fun movie, very respectful of the originals. Aaron Taylor-Johnson was flat, but nbd to me

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ May 16, 2014 -> 09:22 AM) Godzilla getting some pretty good reviews. I wanna see this one at IMAX 3D. Going to see it in a half hour

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 16, 2014 -> 12:13 PM) I imagine the Spider-Man rights would be worth at least a billion. Pocket change for Disney

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2014 -> 08:47 AM) So it's officially the exact same conference finals as last year except plus Russell Westbrook? Wow, such an interesting, engrossing, unpredictable league. Let's be honest here, if you were expecting unpredictable, you were following the wrong league. The NBA always has the same cast of characters in the playoffs, and occasionally an understudy makes an appearance

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 16, 2014 -> 08:38 AM) Am I the only one left that thinks Gordon will be shipped off at the deadline? I think he will if the right deal comes along. I don't think he will be moved for a rios type package

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 16, 2014 -> 08:28 AM) I'm going to start calling you De Aza My slide was de aza-esque for sure. Hesitated running to third and when I went to slide my cleat stuck and I popped up. If I never hesitated I would have had the base easy

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 15, 2014 -> 11:14 PM) Wow, I wish I can play in your league. All of my doubles and triples would turn into home runs. New ball So we are back down to 375. It seriously changes every year We lost again last night, 18-15. I went 3/4 with 2 doubles and a single. As well as a terribly embarrassing base running error that cost us a run

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 15, 2014 -> 08:13 PM) You almost never catch them talking about the Blackhawks. If ABC/ESPN had business interests in hockey, the Blackhawks would be talked about for sure. They don't have any contract to put hockey on the air in any capacity, so they bury it.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 15, 2014 -> 05:07 PM) Yes, but media coverage does tend to focus on Los Angeles a lot. Yep
