If Hudson goes yard, we're destined for greatness in October.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2012 -> 04:28 PM) Did you see the pitch Butler was called out on in his previous AB? Maybe he missed one earlier. Didn't miss that one you keep bringing up. The curve never had the plate.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2012 -> 04:23 PM) Still want to know where that 3-2 pitch to Butler was? Go back and look at it. It wasn't a strike. Get over it.

Well we're one pitcher closer to Reed...

Bad baserunning on both ends. De Aza doesn't slide and almost costs them an out, Olmedo doesn't run. What the f*** are they doing.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Sep 9, 2012 -> 02:02 PM) The recruiting comment was more of a statement on Zooks ability to get top talent despite results. West Michigan was a hack team and the team we just got destroyed by probably ends the year unranked. Great, we have someone who can recruit but can't coach. If you want Zook, you need to stop watching football. You're uneducated on Western Michigan (and first game for this entire team and staff, and it was a W). Last night set up to get beat, period. That offense is good. They could be ranked at some point. Whatever, fans like you are why coaches have zero chance.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Sep 9, 2012 -> 04:06 AM) It's way too early but from watching the first 2 games I almost think we might have downgraded with this coaching staff... At least Zook could recruit. Unbelievable. Well first of all the Western Michigan game was excellent on the coaching side compared to Zook. Recruit? He's been here for half a class. BTW, go check some of the commits he has in the 2013 and 2014 class.

Wtf is up with Wisconsin? Somehow only down 3 outgained like 250-50 at half.

On the last one pre-snap I just thought "sorry kid, no way in hell God let's this kick go through the uprights." Shank left.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 11:29 AM) I wonder if he'll DH AJ today and play Flowers at catcher? Seems likely Lopez plays at 3rd again today, as both Youk/Dunn aren't expected back until tomorrow at the earliest. I'd like to see this lineup: - De Aza - Ramirez - Rios - Konerko - AJ - Viciedo - Flowers - Lopez - Beckham How dare you move guys out of their normal positional slot in the lineup. Logic be damned.

QUOTE (Carter224 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) Uh, Miami had the #3 run defense last season and returns all of their key lineman.. they only gave up 95 yards per game, but sure they'll probably give up 200+ now.. If you're trailing comfortably you can get run all over during the 2nd half against one of the best rushing teams in the league.

Strasburg was just officially shut down for the season. More "mental" than "physical" as they said his head wasn't in last night's start.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 4, 2012 -> 08:51 AM) FSU lost Brandon Jenkins for the season. That sucks And that's why you enter the draft when you have the chance.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 04:41 PM) watching games wasnt fun anymore. I was constantly watching the bottom line, thinking about other games. I wanted to enjoy the season without worrying about other stuff. I will be back next season, I just needed a little timeout I'm the opposite. If it's not the Bears, I won't really give two s***s about the game. OH WAIT I HAVE FANTASY GUYS IN THIS GAME? HOLY s*** MOST IMPORTANT GAME EVER. I'm a way bigger college guy, so I'm like you when it comes to that. NFL without fantasy, I wouldn't care as much about. As we're slowly finding out, millions upon millions are the same way. Fantasy football is one of the best things to ever happen to the NFL for $$$$$$$.

I think Tate is the safer play.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 02:30 PM) Thats why he wanted this thread, he didnt want everyone reading about his ass being tenderized. It has to be embarrassing to be the wife of a guy who's fantasy team sucks. I feel bad for her.

Steve3498532490 your fantasy team sucks.

Go watch the IceHogs. You'll go insane at how ridiculous the fans and presentation are there.

Interesting - discussion on moving FF to stadiums, not exclusively domes. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball...ve-domes-arenas

Also needed to preface it with "baseball" game

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 6, 2012 -> 05:06 PM) For me it will have to be one of the games from 2005 WS. Obviously game 4 is up there, but I think I rather go to game 2. I should have prefaced this with "if you select a White Sox game, include what other non-White Sox game you'd attend." That way we're looking at a larger scope of baseball history, or it just turns into "what's your favorite White Sox game?"

Cool topic for discussion prompted by this article: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8318858/...o-back-time-see What baseball game would you go see?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) If this is true, who here thinks the Sox can keep their focus and finish the season strong? Something that does hurt if he's out is having to make Flowers face 3 or 4 very tough righties against the Tigers next week. If this is true I don't think there's any chance they make the playoffs. Focus is gone, big part of the team gone...everything unravels from here. It could have unraveled anyway, but this would put an end to it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 05:55 PM) Oh god, people are rooting for mizzou. Something awful is going to happen. 5 downs awful. Nope, not rooting for Mizzou in the least.
