Samardzija said he's not looking for "top dollar'' in
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 01:45 PM) Then answer this. If he plays out the season, really likes playing for the White Sox but they offer him $20 million less than another team he has never played for, so any of this "getting to know each other" would start all over again, do you really think he would sign with the White Sox? The fact is, he says he has to "get to know" the White Sox, but when he is a free agent, unless he signs with a team he has already played with, he already knows more about the White Sox, than he does that team. It is about the money. The White Sox may be able to be short, but only slightly. You don't risk what he is risking carrying this out to free agency if money isn't one of the highest priorities. He can sign right now for more money than he or a couple of generations of his family will ever need. All these "reading between the lines" posts are fantasy. He said he doesn't want to discuss a contract during the season. He wants to be a free agent. That isn't a guy who seems destined to stay. Why would you sign a massive contract with a team before feeling them out? Obviously that's an advantage you have, he can't do that this offseason with teams . But he can make sure he doesn't get stuck in a disaster or a place he doesn't like for 6 years right now. Might as well take that time.

2015 Cubs Catch-All thread
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 24, 2015 -> 07:57 PM) Betting money would be on Bryant, but you never know.....they're going to have to pitch to Jose this year, provided LaRoche and Avisail and Alexei/Conor (to a lesser extent) are forcing opposing to teams to pay for pitching around him, or at least trying to limit him to singles and doubles rather than homers. I would imagine if this was a an actual bet Abreu would be the favorite. So I don't think your first line is right.

QUOTE (juddling @ Mar 15, 2015 -> 10:55 AM) Attempted robbery at Chicago themed wrestling restaurant I always thought Victoria was pretty good looking. Didn't know she and her husband had a business in Chicago. Anyone hear of this place?? Been there. Some wrestling memorabilia on the walls, a bunch of TVs had the network on. Food was good. Decent place.

2014-2015 NBA thread
QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 10, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) You need a future hall of famer to get out of the first round? He made the ECF 1 time. Not the Finals, the ECF. Youre comparing to teams that won the NBA Finals, hes never even made it to the game. He's had a healthy team once in the playoffs. And got out of the first round that year with the Nets with an AAU team basically. If they fire thibs I may have to consider taking a leave of absence from being a fan. Would be very difficult to root for them after Gar/Pax pulled that s***.

ISU did everything they could there. UNI is a really good team. They managed to weather the storm and come back strong. Sick of ISU being the bridesmaid but never the bride.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 2, 2015 -> 01:04 PM) Why did Thibs have him in the game? The Bulls have so many players who are chronically injured. It's time for Gar/Pax to shake that up a bit. Even if they were totally healthy for Game 1 of the playoffs, no way that lasts more than a game or two. It is amazing how many games their players miss. Stubhub prices are only going to go lower. This isn't on thibs. It's just a freak injury.

Sports Betting
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 10:43 AM) I learned my lesson back in college. I had done well with college basketball, so then I let it all ride on Opening Day. I went with Buehrle vs. KC and Randy Johnson was pitching for Arizona. The Sox and DBacks ended up scoring a combined zero runs and my balance disappeared. Never again, lol. Never bet more than 5-10% of your bank roll on one bet!

Single game tickets?
QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 10:15 AM) I did this. I could only get section 533 for OD. Hopefully my dad takes me so I can sit in the good seats. 533 are not bad seats.

Opening Day Tickets
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 02:25 PM) Having trouble selling opening day tickets, huh? They haven't released single game tickets yet the only way to have opening day tickets as of right now is through this or some sort of season ticket plan. This is just a way to sell tickets to the other games.
