QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 09:25 PM) They called today and said I'd be scheduled once they figured proper scheduling for next week. I'm in hell right now, and all I can do is vent on Soxtalk. I received this call on Friday to schedule the next interview with a VP as well as the person I'd be working for whom I've already interviewed with for Tuesday (today) at 3pm. Down, let's do this. Time to go take a job. I get a call 20 minutes later saying 3pm doesn't work, can I do 3:30pm? Ok, fine by me. I get a call an hour later saying that Tuesday no longer works, because the people interviewing me got called into a big meeting and I should hear something "no earlier than Tuesday morning" (ie this morning). "No earlier than Tuesday morning" sure is open-ended. Also, Tuesday morning has passed. What the hell do I take from all of this? Someone talk me down from the ledge.

Stop being such a p****, Badger! Get those digits, bury that ass!

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 05:05 PM) What I wonder is whether the NFL has so many deplorable characters a simple product of numbers (lots of guys on NFL rosters) or if the game just happens to attract bad guys. It's a product of numbers.

Viciedo can't play defense, he can't run the bases, he can't throw with accuracy, and he sure as hell can't hit - there's not much there to talk about at the moment. The guy's completely lost.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 03:56 PM) He'd be a great for a "bust for bust" change of scenery type trade True, but he makes a bit more than what a normal bust makes.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 04:28 PM) So.....am I the only one that thinks the Hernandez reaction has been a bit premature? The jersey buy-backs, the digging into his past in Florida, and now EA Sports is getting rid of him in their games. I mean, I get he's like 99.9% guilty if what we hear is true and admissible, but can't we just wait until the trial? Why didn't people react this way when Ray Lewis was killing people throwing away a new suit for a perfectly legit reason after getting into a bar fight resulting in a man's death? I do think there's a fair amount of not presuming him innocent, but you really can't here. This is just short of having video of Hernandez eating the man's heart.

just yes

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 03:33 PM) Viciedo definitely in the dog house. However, with this season in the tank, you need to see what he can do. I have no problem sending a message to him, so hopefully he gets out of the dog house soon. He's a really bad baseball player.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 02:23 PM) One of the lessons there is that if you are selling off players...don't just settle for 1 guy, get yourself a couple A-baller throw-ins as well just to give your team a few more rolls of the dice. This.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 02:24 PM) I always get s*** from my family for not being a Cardinals fan since I have lived near St. Louis all my life but have always been a White Sox fan My old man is a die hard Cards fan. I was raised to be a Cardinals fan. I defected in the early 90s because I was very young and I couldn't watch Cardinals games and I certainly couldn't be a Cubs fan. And Frank Thomas and Robin Ventura. But it does allow me to always follow the Cards and root for them in a secondary manner, but f*** if I actually care. But damn, they are well-run, and hopefully the White Sox can find some way to emulate their entire system.

Big Brother fans - this is slightly NSFW - Amanda makes a "bra" out of band-aids and parades around the house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xcnXNQeHuc She has huge fake knockers, and I can't look away.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 01:04 PM) The Cubs already won the crosstown cup... this game is for both teams to showcase their players. Let the Fire sale begin. Time to move in a new direction... #REMEMBER

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 06:21 PM) I think the Cardinals make the most sense with Furcal out for the season and the Kozma/Descalso platoon is shaky at best. I feel like Alexei, despite his defensive miscues, has increased his value with his work on the base paths. I've been really impressed with the jumps he's been able to make this year in particular and I'm sure other GMs and scouts have noticed as well. I would try to target Matt Adams as the main piece to get in return to be Konerko's heir apparent. the cardinals have like 80 bajillion awesome prospects they can't find room for - let's find a way to snag matt adams. ramirez/peavy/reed for wacha/adams boom

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 12:46 PM) I don't know what you're talking about. I literally JUST came here to post that.

Anthony Rizzo sucks.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 04:43 AM) That's what I'm saying. He must be mentally weak or something because the men's field really is top heavy right now. Djokovic is totally likable as well. Would have been a good poster boy. I mean losing straight sets yesterday? Come on. Murray isn't THAT good. The strangest part was how he just got his ass straight whipped yesterday. Andy Murray is simply not THAT good. Hell, his second serve is basically a lob waiting to be slaughtered, and Djok did nothing with it.

QUOTE (TRU @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 08:35 PM) inb4 Steve freaks out Everyone's entitled to their opinion - I simply adored "Silver Linings Playbook", though.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 5, 2013 -> 10:40 PM) Millsap to Atlanta 2/19M That's highway robbery.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jul 4, 2013 -> 10:10 AM) A portland message board suggests Deng/Noah for LMA/Wes Matthews....I might be the only one but I would do that all day and twice on the 4th of July. They lose a little bit on D but neither Wes nor LMA are slouches defensively. What they gain on offense though has the potential to put them over the top. Matthews is a much better 3 point shooter than Deng (40% vs 32%, Wes had the higher volume as well) and we all know LMA is a better offensive player than Jo. Not sure how Boozer and LMA would pair up though. Hypothetically they can amnesty Boozer, get below the cap, sign another big to go along with Taj, LMA, and Naz. Just rambling about something that will never happen. So you want Aldridge to play center? Thibs would kill someone. Wes Matthews is awesome, so is LMA, but man, our bigs would suck.

Some things cannot be unseen.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 07:20 PM) Did they schedule the interview with you yet? They called today and said I'd be scheduled once they figured proper scheduling for next week.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 10:03 AM) Extremely well, unfortunately there will be a two-week wait as the other two jamokes they are interviewing are scheduled out that far. I'm pessimistic when it comes to this type of stuff, and I'd be shocked if I don't get an offer. That said. Who the f knows when it comes to interviewing. Apparently there's a next round of interviews to meet with a VP as well as the hiring manager again. I have a weird feeling that this is to get approval to hire me. We shall see.
