QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 08:01 AM) The likelihood of the sox leaving Comcast AND not making more than the current deal pays, is close to zero. We all forget that csn Chicago is on in virtually all local households. Any potential new station would need win over cable operators who do not want to pay exaggerated fees. Plus, Jerry owns the rights to buy ricketts shares in the network The Sox aren't leaving Comcast. JR is about to indirectly own 60% of it. What I am afraid of is that we missed the bubble for big TV deals. Even the Yankees are having trouble getting their games on TV now, because the network's prices are too high for the cable systems.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 07:53 AM) I can't wait until the first You can put it on the board........yes this season. Hawk is still awesome. Me too. I miss Hawk. The more I listen to Benetti, the more he sounds like everyone else.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 09:06 PM) I remember when Jon Singleton signed that very "team-friendly " deal with the Astros and got criticized for passing up so much money. Well he is back in the minors and might have been the smart one. For every Longoria or Sale, there are stories like that where signing that early deal works out much better for the player. That's why you sign it. Sergio Santos also comes to mind quickly.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 07:52 PM) This beats the piss out of having to DVR the game, putting my phone on airplane mode and then watching the Sox get wrecked like last year. And Mike, we're going to collectively get off your lawn now. Damned kids. GET A JOB AND PULL UP THOSE PANTS!

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 05:09 PM) Eddie Collins is getting reincarnated to play for the Sox? Apparently I think it is 1916 instead of 2016 and Jimmy Rollins, lol.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 04:58 PM) Yes, as Ishikawa isn't on the 40 man roster right now. I can't remember if the 40 man is at 38 or 39 right now, but one of those spots is for sure going to be Rollins. I wouldn't mind giving Davidson a chance at the everyday DH spot as well. Could also spot in the field for Frazier or Abreu (move Frazier to 1B) Also, Sanchez has 2 dingers today. 37, but we all know Collins will be #38.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 04:03 PM) Hah, and when you work until a normal time, a day game means you probably won't see at least the first half (though better when on the WC). Except I can follow games from work.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) While it sucks (just means I will be tired next week), it is much much better than a day game, IMO! Work week day games are the absolute worst, especially on opening day. When you have to go to work at a normal time, a 9pm game is really late, and it means you probably won't see the end of it.

I just realized that the first pitch for opening day is going to be a 9 freaking 10 pm. Whatever happened to a day game for the first day of baseball? That absolutely sucks.

As quickly as they got rid of him, I can't see the Sox being interested in bringing him back, even if it is at minimum wage.

QUOTE (LDF @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 01:00 PM) for me, i would rather trade rose than bulter, but the thing is that contract. so in my opinion, i am ready to accept a full rebuild after next yr. that is when rose, taj contract are over. might as well see what assets are wanted by other teams who may want to trade something of real value. whether that is a good young player, or a series of draft picks. it is painful to think about this, but what can we as fans expect in the future of the bulls. Nobody else will want Rose for his contract price.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 11:03 AM) Even in the reports I have read on it the media is using the way Washington awards its delegates to make it seem like Bernie only cut her lead by 35 delegates when in reality it will be closer to a 65 or so gain once the rest of the delegates are awarded. One article I read made the ridiculous assertion that Bernie continues to do well in "predominantly white, caucus states" despite the fact that Washington, Hawaii and Alaska are three of the most ethnically diverse states in the USA. The media bias is really out of hand. Hawaii? Yes, there are huge Asian populations there, but way below average in anything else. Washington is more white on average than the US is. Alaska does have a big Indian population, but is far below average in Hispanic and black, and close to average in white population.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 27, 2016 -> 11:00 PM) Lots of buzz that GT will hire Bryce Drew Vandy and St Louis want him really badly as well. I haven't heard anything this week, which makes me think something is up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 27, 2016 -> 04:21 PM) He's just not a big league starter. Still not sure why they put so much confidence into Turner coming into camp. They had so much confidence in him, they signed Mat Latos.

One thing is obvious. A significant number of players have quit on this season. You have one of two choices. You can blame management, or you can blame the players.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 27, 2016 -> 10:02 AM) You got blasted because you kept repeating the same stupid bulls*** and bumping your thread so you could repeat it again. Nobody cares You know, like posting it again now, for example

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 27, 2016 -> 10:27 AM) And we appreciate that. https://twitter.com/pgammo/status/714098886101479424 Both teams really overthought passing on Carlos Rodon.

While Turner has absolutely bombed in ST, one guy who has quietly been having a great spring is Aumont.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 26, 2016 -> 07:33 PM) What are the current odds of Davidson or Sands making the team over Sanchez? Haven't been following spring training much the past couple of weeks, other than noticing that Erik Johnson "hope" all off-season turned out to be another mirage. Sands yes, Davidson no chance.

Buddy Hield is just awesome to watch.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 26, 2016 -> 06:02 PM) Bulls literally have 0 excuse of losing tonight. Vucevic, Oladipo, and ilyasova are not playing tonight. Also, Orlando on the 2nd half of a back to back And they gave up 68 first half points. This team has just absolutely quit.

Wow, Wisconsin, what a way to give away a game.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 25, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) That was in regards to big box office = good movie. It's a poor defense for any movie. Thor 2 did well at the box office and was easily the worst Marvel film. Twilight sez hello.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 25, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) Crawford still not skating and not traveling on the upcoming Western road trip. Time to start worrying yet? The PK is really scary right now.
