QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 09:54 AM) I know it is because all accounts here point to Kane as the victim, I'm still waiting on the evidence you had that suggested that there was "something there". "here" being the key word. But again, he put himself into position to embarrass his employer on national television AGAIN. Pretending this is the only incident is disingenuous at best. I don't buy into the frat boy mentality of boys being boys when it passes the line and repeatedly becomes national news. Even if you are totally right and this was a pure set up from the very beginning, it doesn't excuse the other incidents, and the fact that this has been a pattern of behavior for Patrick Kane to put himself into stupid situations.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 07:13 AM) So how did he embarrass his employer on national TV this time? What did he do? Now that is funny.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 07:03 AM) that is kool, you made a statement. i will respect it. but some have lousy luck, he did everything the right way, diver, going home, having fun and yet something happen and he was not at fault. he may have been the intended victim and he got escape with good luck. not falling for those ragging hormones that would have most assuredly into a huge vat of trouble. You missed the REPEATEDLY part.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 07:50 PM) Well, he certainly shouldn't be putting himself in situations where things like this can happen. Just because he's "young and full of hormones" doesn't mean he can't be responsible. For $84 million, it's not too much to ask of him. In Kane's case, it apparently is.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 07:45 PM) So what was the lesson to learn here? Don't go out and do nothing wrong whatsoever? How about Don't Repeatedly Embarass your Employer on National Television?

What it all goes back to is that Patrick Kane is an idiot who hasn't learned his lessons, despite multiple embarrassing stories... at best. I still wouldn't be surprised to see Kane dealt next off season.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 03:17 PM) Free legal lesson for the day: Indiana Code Title 32 Article 21 Chapter 13 Sections 4-5 Except as provided in section 5 of this chapter, a homeowners association may not adopt or enforce a rule that prohibits a member of the homeowners association from displaying a sign on the member's property during the period: (1) beginning thirty (30) days before; and (2) ending five (5) days after; the date of the election to which the sign relates. A homeowners association may adopt and enforce rules relating to a sign described in section 3 of this chapter if the rules do any of the following: Indiana Code 2015 (1) Restrict the size of a sign if the rule permits a homeowner to display a sign that is at least as large as signs commonly displayed during election campaigns. (2) Restrict the number of signs that may be displayed if the rule permits a homeowner to display a reasonable number of signs. (3) Restrict the locations where a sign may be displayed. However, a restriction under this subdivision may not prohibit the display of a sign: (A) in a window on the homeowner's property; or (B) on the ground that is part of the homeowner's property. I just got to call my HOA and tell them where they can stick their violation letter. They sent you a violation letter after the election? Smooth.

I expect a big bounce back in Washington next year with Maddux around. Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 3h3 hours ago Dusty mentions they've hired Davey lopes for coaching staff. Mike maddux is nats new pitching coach. Nice start.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 01:46 PM) Gotta save those eyes to watch his homeboy bang the same chick, er, I mean, watch his grandkids graduate! I am just impressed the guy is playing through it. I can't even give him a hard time right now.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 01:47 PM) Do you think they'll give Beckham a Qualifying Offer? Nicely played. I think he will get a lolifying offer.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 01:35 PM) Due to the DH and not facing a pitcher for 5-7 innings, Kershaws ERa would go up. It would be interesting to see him in the AL. Not sure what his interleague ERA is. Interleague 2.32 era 0.951 WHIP. Career 2.43 ERA 1.033 WHIP

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 10:07 AM) Then he should have no problem getting paid. I don't believe he will have nearly the problem that some think ( 1 year $5 million? Only if he take a HUGE discount to stay here)

Guys who are in decline don't usually add 216 OPS to their first half OPS in the second half. His second half OPS was .757, and above his career numbers. The guy had a really bad first half, but recovered and had a very good second half.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 07:42 AM) I can't see how a 34 yo SS with declining skills and a 1WAR value is worth 12-15M per year. Asdrubal Cabrera will likely be in that range but not Alexei. Not one year. That number is over 2 years.

QUOTE (Ballz-n-Strikes @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 01:36 AM) Why would the White Sox care about Rule 5 in 2016? So the team sucks and should be blown up, but they shouldn't be looking for young cheap talent in the Rule 5?

St Louis is just going through the motions. They aren't playing any D and their passing is sloppy so far.
