Undeniably quiet.

Some would say eerily quiet.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 02:01 PM) LOL I know we all hate Walker but sometimes a fresh start and a new opportunity is the only thing needed. I mean no one was complaining about Walk in 2005. I'm sure there were a few people complaining when Cleveland was rapidly catching up to us in the standings.

Quiet day at Soxtalk.

I'm not sure that he'd bring back the biggest return since he's older and is locked into a pricey contract.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 10:52 AM) The Chicago White Sox received permission from Philadelphia to talk to Double-A Reading manager Mark Parent about their vacant bench coach position, a Phillies source confirmed Monday morning. Parent, 50, managed Reading to a 74-68 record in 2011. He and new Sox manager Robin Ventura were represented by John Boggs during their playing days. "That's the connection," the source said. "Mark will be good." He gets a chance to be the bench coach because they had the same agent when they played! What a farce.

Only one way to find out.

Me thinks it's time to join the Marines board. *sad Peanuts music starts playing*

Koala is sad

I thought we were friends but your true colors are showing.

Great. I guess you don't want me on this site anymore.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 09:19 AM) Don't be a fool, watch it on Sunday nights instead of waiting. Eventually I'll catch up but I just started watching the series a few weeks ago on Netflix. I'm on episode 4 of season 3 right now.

Can't check out the TV thread anymore since it's nothing but Breaking Bad spoilers. I'm still playing catch up.

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 10:27 PM) Reading was never my specialty. "Public" was the key word there. I wonder though, if an employer is skeptical of the candidate that chooses to make their Facebook unavailable to them or if it just puts more stock on the interview and judging your character there. To a certain extent it is an invasion of privacy and may be a misrepresentation of who you actually are. But I get why they Google and stalk you. LOL. Not a chance.

I'd like to see Milwaukee beat Detroit in the WS.

So a receiver has to have possession of the ball when he hits the ground out of bounds for it to be a catch but the ball still only has to break the plane (and can be dropped immediately) to be a touchdown. Huh?

Happy birthday fellas!

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 8, 2011 -> 02:16 PM) FWIW The cross country coach for one of our other middle schools is from Chicago and a White Sox fan. Imagine that, two guys a few miles from the Mexico border, chatting Sox baseball. Last season we were both wearing Sox caps at a race. Anyway, we always talk a little baseball while our teams are running. He likes the hiring. Thinks Robin will manage more conservatively and add some professionalism and a working harder ethos to the organization. When did you move to Lawrence, Kansas?

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Oct 8, 2011 -> 09:55 AM) I wonder if that franchise can have a resurgence similar to the blackhawks now. You've read my mind. RIP Al

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 8, 2011 -> 02:56 AM) Seriously? With a manager that has no experience at all, we'd hire a bench coach that has no major league coaching history? That's about right. Ugh. This is Chicago, right? Not some small market like KC?

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) But if it is set to private it shouldn't be that big of a deal since my google search doesn't allow people to see my friends list or content. I don't use curse words every few seconds like some used car sales guys I know. About the only thing that they might not like is that I'm outspoken and am not a "yes" man. I have gotten better online...I used to sit there and just start debates on the internet to piss people off. But since then I have posted discussion based content so employers know that I can think on my feet and ask questions to produce different results (instead of just going along with groupthink and getting the same garbage over and over again as teams I know are prone to do!). I don't think you understood my point. Yes, if you have privacy settings enabled where only friends can see your posts then you will be ok.

I keep thinking this is a thread on the morning after pill when I browse the forum topics.

Did they steal that thing from Ozzie's family room?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) It was seriously fantastic. I have to agree.
