J4L has been a breath of fresh air around here for the most part since Rose went down. I enjoy his posts.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 13, 2013 -> 08:40 AM) How about why am I tipping you for handing me a paper towel out of the machine? I tip them. They're standing in a s***ty bathroom all night long. It's ridiculous they're there (I only see them at bars in the city, though). Normally I'll give like $5 and say "remember my face, I'm covered all night".

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 13, 2013 -> 12:22 AM) Once again... Noah > Aldridge /boring Bulls fans I don't think anyone here said that. I think what was stated is that you want to add Aldridge (or Horford) TO Noah to have an effective difference. That said, obviously you'd make that deal if you could.

F*ck that kid and f*** society. He should be locked up.

I believe I have shat my pantaloons.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 03:25 PM) Kurt Warner. Vermeil was in tears, actually crying about Trent Green getting hurt the last preseason game. Warner had completed 4 passes in 11 attempts in the NFL at that point. MVP. Super Bowl. Vermeil cried about everything.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 11:24 AM) 23-24 I think. The back story is I thought we'd already broken up and then she showed up to my house to take me to her bday party and I had to dump her again. Epic.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 10:50 AM) No we don't. She lives with her parents. We have plans to move in together next year. lol omg, then just break it off with her. you have absolutely nothing invested.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 12:09 PM) None of those are related to guys intentionally going to to cause bodily harm. If an ump believes a guy is throwing at another intentionally, that person is warned or thrown out and then fined. If it's done unintentionally, there is no consequence. It's all about intent. You may accidentally step on someone's ankle and crush it running to first (see Tim Hudson) or you may accidentally run head first into another player (see Beltran/Cameron from about 7 years ago), or whatever other accidents you can think of. You aren't going to accidentally try and destroy a catcher by colliding with him. Catchers take enough abuse. There's no need to subject them to getting blindsided by a 220 pound dude comprised entirely of muscle barreling in at full speed. Yeah. A completely non-contact sport has one random play where "anything goes". It makes no sense. These men are not trained to hit or take hits like in the NFL (well, at least how the NFL used to before contact was stupidly banned from practice). This is a play that will not be missed in baseball.

QUOTE (StL @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 06:15 AM) Pete Rose is none to thrilled about the ruling: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/mlb-intends-b...19721--mlb.html That is an epic old man rant.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 10:59 AM) Remember when he stopped the KANERRRRRRR drunken act and took off the past 2 years? Wow, such a coincidence. No way. He was just a college kid partying.

The top of that 2008 draft really wound up being hot garbage.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 10:10 AM) Ackley, Smoak, and Montero for Beckham, Viceido and Flowers. Busts for busts. Done deal New better than old!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 09:20 PM) Why does anyone watch the Bulls sucking when the Blackhawks are so good and kicking ass tonight ? This coming from the guy who struggled to spell Toews and Emery yesterday!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 08:47 PM) Kirk is 2 for his last 27. Give him as many minutes as he can handle, please.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 08:27 AM) Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 1m White Sox lose Brady Shoemaker to Miami

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 03:30 PM) I have always liked AJ, this just makes me like him more.

Bartolo Colon somehow keeps getting paid.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 10:55 AM) He's probably the highest value piece that we should actually want to trade. Please discuss. I am always on board with trading relief pitchers if you can get good value back.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 10:48 AM) Is 15 homers fringe power anymore? It would rank him in the top-100 across the MLB, and tied with guys like Billy Butler and Buster Posey. People are really struggling to grasp the fact that the steroid era, for the most part, is long in the rear-view mirror.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 08:59 PM) You'll get this. I freely admit that pass would have jumped off my stick on the backhand. I may catch that Keith pass 1/10 times. It's one of those things that unless you've tried to do that, you can't appreciate how hard that is. Similar to a nice saucer pass landing where it needs to, catching one in your skate to your feet while skating etc. Those are the best things to watch, and the hardest things to do, but I think the casual fan takes it for granted. They just see a pass was completed and it was a goal. I live for those little things. Yeah. The Blackhawks have so much talent right now that we see it all the time. When I pull that s*** off, it's amazing (because it's hard). I swear the late 90's early 00's Blackhawks might have had two plays that looked that nice over the course of 5 years.

Spanky is going to be legit. That is all.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:03 PM) That's a video game play.

I can't. I just. WOW. MLB 14 The Show is going to be absolutely stunning. I can't wait.
