QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) You mean like what you're doing? Tell me, who was your favorite pre-2007-2008 Chicago Blackhawk and what was your favorite moment involving him? Eddie Belfour was my guy. I was so destroyed when he got traded, and so did JR. Outside of the Hawks, I was a total Pavel Bure guy.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 03:21 PM) Don't anything wrong, here. Mr. Emoji here is very much a bandwagoner. Krush and I, among others, used to get annoyed. But hell, the bandwagoners have been around for 6 years and have become quite smart. This is a great time to be a Blackhawks fan, and the more the merrier. Within Soxtalk it is pretty easy. All of the people who were talking about the Hawks when guys like Eric Daze and company were still around are the true fans. Honestly though, it doesn't matter. I love seeing the UC filled every night, and seeing road games where Hawks goals are cheered louder than the home teams goals.

Comiskey Park Hitmen ‏@CPHSox 7m7 minutes ago 3/7 #WhiteSox scheduled pitchers: Erik Johnson, Scott Carroll, Nate Jones, Tommy Kahnle, Zach Phillips, Peter Tago and Michael Ynoa.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 16m16 minutes ago Adam Eaton still likes playing CF. But he wants to win more. Likes addition of Austin Jackson. #WhiteSox http://bit.ly/1TF1Xjx

John Danks is the #4 starting in April unless his arm falls off. That might change as the season goes on, but the Sox will keep that depth around.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 14m14 minutes ago Adam LaRoche is surprised how much better he feels after two days. Initially thought it would be few weeks. Got light workout in today.

Jordan Bastian ‏@MLBastian 5s6 seconds ago Indians offered similar salary range as WSox for Jackson, but he preferred Chicago. CLE would've needed to go much higher to convince him.

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 15s15 seconds ago Good quotes in here from Rick Hahn. Says "Nothing has been promised to anybody." All playing time will be earned. Dan Hayes @CSNHayes Austin Jackson will primarily play in CF for the #WhiteSox. http://bit.ly/1YkGNG8

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 11:14 AM) I think that was Eaton's high water mark I agree. I see as more of an 8 to 10 homer guy regularly.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 10:41 AM) He's a late inning OF replacement for either Melky or Avi. He might get some platoon starts against some tough right handed pitchers if there's any concern over Jackson's splits. But there's no way he'd get more PAs than Jackson this year. It will be a lot better to be able to run Eaton, Shuck and Jackson as the OF in close and late situations.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 09:30 AM) The Cubs press release of the Maddon hiring shows Kap (who I happen to like) is a little full of it today: Rick deserved to come back for another season as Cubs manager, and we said as much when we announced that he would be returning in 2015. We met with Rick two weeks ago for a long end-of-season evaluation and discussed plans for next season. We praised Rick to the media and to our season ticket holders. These actions were made in good faith. Last Thursday, we learned that Joe Maddon—who may be as well suited as anyone in the industry to manage the challenges that lie ahead of us—had become a free agent. We confirmed the news with Major League Baseball, and it became public knowledge the next day. We saw it as a unique opportunity and faced a clear dilemma: be loyal to Rick or be loyal to the organization. In this business of trying to win a world championship for the first time in 107 years, the organization has priority over any one individual. We decided to pursue Joe. While there was no clear playbook for how to handle this type of situation, we knew we had to be transparent with Rick before engaging with Joe. Jed flew to San Diego last Friday and told Rick in person of our intention to talk to Joe about the managerial job. Subsequently, Jed and I provided updates to Rick via telephone and today informed him that we will indeed make a change. We offered Rick a choice of other positions with the Cubs, but he is of course free to leave the organization and pursue opportunities elsewhere. Armed with the experience of a successful season and all the qualities that made him our choice a year ago, Rick will no doubt make an excellent major league manager when given his next chance. The story was that it was Cubs management who told Maddon that the out clause in his contract existed.
