Just 3 more days until my Pacific Northwest home finding trip!

A lot of us in here were laughing at Edwin Jackson and Doug Fister. They've both been pretty solid in the post season.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 08:33 AM) Come on, enough with this. He obviously isn't a big fan of winning baseball. He just likes to laugh at funny people.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 05:25 PM) Delegate. Then why even bother making him manager.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 03:50 PM) Just got a pre-recorded message from Ventura STH conference call tomorrow, will take questions. After hearing him speak recently, it was likely a live call from Robin.

Holy s***. That looks amazing.

Just figured "yes" would be around 1% since it was on Fox's website.

Fox News:

"White Sox baseball: At least we're not the Cubs"

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) That is the danger of hiring a former player. It's why the Royals wouldn't let Brett or White ever manage. Ventura will be hated at some point just as Ozzie is despised. That is a given. Hopefully he'll win a WS though as that will give him some love no matter what. But it will end badly. It almost always does. You're really overplaying the hatred angle. Even the biggest Ozzie haters around will be indifferent to him within a matter of months if not weeks. All is forgotten with time.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 11:08 AM) Devin is never going to truly know the WR position. He is basically a track star disguised as a football player. They could have probably received a King's ransom by trading him to Oakland. That opportunity is no longer there with Al's passing.

You guys are on to them! You've figured out the huge conspiracy!

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 11:10 AM) Yes, these will be the most boring post-game press conferences ever. greg775 is furious

Figured the "we are not liberal" covered it but whatever.

And for people, to this day, to claim that he discovered anything is a farce.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 09:24 AM) Tim Tebow is your new starting QB for the Denver Broncos. I look forward to the Raiders beating his brains in.

Eerily similar situation that the Blackhawks dealt with.

Championships are in our future.

Always room on the silver and black bandwagon!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 03:46 PM) Eh, each one is going to be different. The things that piss some off, are exactly what others want to see. The most important thing is to know the personality of your field. Things are acceptable and even preferable in my industry would get you fired in many others. That's an excellent point. I'm looking at this from a corporate accounting/finance lens.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 03:37 PM) It almost seems like discrimination to me. This candidate won't provide enough information about their personal life, so I am disqualifying them. Management that I work with would prefer that people keep their facebook private in order to protect the company. EDIT: And when I'm hiring someone I prefer that their social media sites are private.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 03:30 PM) If Paulie is in the field, then how does he call for a pitcher to warmup? Or to replace a pitcher? I also think there would be a ton of jealousy/fighting that goes on over Paulie being in that position. Yeah it seems like an awful idea.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 03:28 PM) Recruiters that have spoken to business organizations here at U of I have mentioned that there could be some concerns over people "hiding" their personal life, but most of the younger generation recruiters know this is commonplace now and dont worry about it. But to say that no recruiter would think twice about it would be silly, just because there are some stupid recruiters out there. That's just absurd IMO.
