QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 18, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) I wonder why it isn't reviewable. I would think it would be pretty easy to determine on a replay. No judgement calls are reviewable.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 18, 2016 -> 01:54 PM) Would you rather have the Bulls coach, roster, and financial situation or Brent Brown, tons of $$ to spend, and Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Dario Saric, Jahlil Okafor, and Nerlens Noel? The Bulls are a year away from being out from every major contract except Jimmy Butler. Their financial situation isn't bad at all when you consider what the cap is about to do.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 18, 2016 -> 02:25 PM) This may have already been answered but it was not a reviewable call. Ventura made his case and the ump didn't change his mind. The ump blew it for sure. Albers then made a two strike pitch mistake and that was it. Our bullpen has been bad the last few games and only Sale has saved us. But, Robertson looked good. Albers has blown like three in a row now. We were in all those games though and I believe things will straighten out. He wouldn't have been asking for a review, but for the umpires to actually talk about it among themselves. That way if the base umpires saw something that they thought was interference he could tell the home ump, and then he call interference, and call the base runner out as well.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 18, 2016 -> 01:49 PM) Please don't refer to the White Sox as we or us. You are a Royals fan. Come on with this.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 18, 2016 -> 12:22 PM) Carlos Rodon was top-10 last year actually, but I agree with you *midseason I never saw Rodon rated this high, but interesting.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 18, 2016 -> 12:08 PM) Alright resident lawyers, your comments would be appreciated. My dad was in Ohio this past week and and my mom is a nurse five minutes away from the house. My little sister is a college student who is home for the summer. The house is in an unincorporated South Suburb of Chicago. IE, there is no cops, we'd get sheriffs. Anyways, we have two beagles and a fenced in backyard. They tend to go out all day long for 15-30 minute periods. My little sister let the dogs out, completely forgot about them, and then went to a friends house at 5 PM. Getting to the point, at 10 PM, five hours after the dugs were let out, my mom got a call from a sheriff and her heart dropped as the sheriff told her they were in the process of going through her house at the moment due to a "well being check." My mom had thought something terrible had happened to her daughter. Then they informed her the dogs were left outside and one of the neighbors called because they kept barking. When my mom came home, there were six squad cars and three in our driveway. They had been there for about a half hour already. The police had been in the house but hadn't let the dogs back in the house. She had patients at work and was short staffed so she let the dogs in and immediately returned to work. My mom came from her shift about an hour later and there was garbage all over the hallway upstairs. We close every bedroom always because the dogs, again beagles, will go into the garbage or follow their nose to food in anyway they can. My bedroom had a box of old Keurig cups that my dogs ripped through. Caffeine can kill dogs. My garbage, had a pack of sugar free Aldi's gum that was perhaps that worst excuse for gum I've ever experienced. Sugar free gum can also be lethal to dogs. Fortunately, neither ate these things and got sick. Sure, you could say I shouldn't leave this stuff where the dogs could get it, but I never, ever leave my door open. The police came in opened every door in the house, left them open, did not let the dogs back in and then retreated to their squad cars in the driveway and waited for my mother to show up. It had looked like my house was a murder scene. Is there precedent for this type of egregious behavior? Is there anything my family should be considering as a result? My lawyer said "The sheriffs around here are outstandingly bad and that behavior is unacceptable, but knowing your family, I don't think you guys should pursue anything given the facts you gave me." I am sure most would agree with him but my mom is pretty upset so I figured I'd look for a second opinion. Typically unless you can prove either negligence or maleficence, you have no case. Seeing as how hard those are to prove, you realistically have no chance to do anything about it.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 18, 2016 -> 11:30 AM) Of course it was. And if the Sox tomorrow traded any 3 prospects not named Fulmer or Anderson for an above-average hitter, this board would sing the praises. But people who make trades for a living, would never have traded the org's 3 top prospects for Nick Swisher. Nor would they have traded a top 10 prospect in all of baseball to rent Garcia for 2 months. And they certainly wouldn't have then dumped Swisher after 1 year for a utility infielder and 2 organizational minor leaguers. Except for Kenny Williams... Wait, what? The last time that the Sox had a real top 10 in all of baseball prospect was Jon Rauch.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ May 18, 2016 -> 09:44 AM) Have you tried slim fit shirts? If you know your neck and arm length size accurately, slim fit are basically custom shirts anyway, unless you have an abnormal body shape. They're tighter in the shoulders, chest and sides compared to traditional fit shirts which are more baggy. I was always hesitant to buy anything slim, but I lost a little bit of weight and now they're perfect. I had two sets of custom shirts made and they fit just the same but were way more expensive. It might go well with his skinny jeans.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 18, 2016 -> 09:18 AM) Hawk would just go silent and provide no feedback. We're lucky to have Jason. Like hell he would. He would have had an epic meltdown.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 18, 2016 -> 08:04 AM) After all the talk about how much money to put into a car, I want to add two things... 1. Everyone has something, or some things, they spend "extra" on. Clothing, travel, cars, whatever. I try not to judge it. For me personally, cars have never been something I felt the need to spend big on. My wife and I have very successful careers, and our cars have been Honda, Subaru, Ford and Saturn. Just my preference, because... 2. Cars are NOT investments. No matter how you feel about how much you want to spend or whats important, you should get yourself out of that mindset. Cars are COST CENTERS. That doesn't mean you can't blow some extra money on them if it makes you happy - but they are all depreciating assets with an increasing cost curve. Cost centers. This. Totally this.

QUOTE (harkness @ May 18, 2016 -> 07:52 AM) Okay there was a lot of back and forth about the rule in the game thread. However the umpires not responsible for Albers completely losing it 3 games in a row. Any time you ask for your pitchers to get your four outs in an inning, you are just begging for trouble. The Sox had it happen 3 times yesterday, including the blown call. The had runs scored against them twice because of it.

I think Steve Stone said it best last night. "If that isn't interference, I don't know what is."

QUOTE (Tony @ May 17, 2016 -> 08:50 PM) The more I watch Rodon, the more you can see how young he is, how you can actually see him learning on the job. I'm not trying to sugar coat anything, the Sox REALLY need him if this season is going to be special, but we are watching someone from a progression standpoint that probably should be in AAA, but the talent has won out. Mixed results should be expected right now. Great perspective here. We could be looking at the "best prospect in baseball" if he were destroying AA or AAA, which would be around where he should be right now.

Jackson misread that ball, but Eaton was right on it.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 17, 2016 -> 07:39 PM) Yeah! DFA Saladino! Everything is awful! It was like two days ago no one could figure out why Rollins was starting

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 17, 2016 -> 06:18 PM) Nobody would be saying "omg Leury needs at bats" Except maybe B>W They would. Then he would get some and everyone would want him cut.
