Chris Jaffe ‏@jaffechris 12m12 minutes ago 70 years ago today, Billy Sianis & his billy goat were ejected from Wrigley Field - begins the Curse of the Billy Goat.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 6, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) He totally hits it on purpose. He could have just grabbed it and went to a knee. Which makes me think he didn't know that rule. Brian Floyd @BrianMFloyd KJ Wright said he batted the ball out. Didn't want to take a chance diving on it. He didn't know the rule

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 6, 2015 -> 09:22 AM) Brian Anderson had some amazing defensive metrics IIRC. Eaton had really good D stats in 14 IIRC.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 11:43 PM) how about not bunting and getting better hitters I thought the team was one of the lowest bunting teams in baseball?

QUOTE (jamesdiego @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 10:28 PM) I love Wimpy on the broadcasts. He brings so much life to the games. He would make the home games listenable and fun. I'll just mute the away games. He is a color guy.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 11:47 PM) This is a no brainer. Sign Mark Buehrle. One year and an option at 5.5 mill a year. And after his agent stopped laughing, what would you say then?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 10:13 PM) This proves that Jamie Moyer was the last of the guys able to pitch forever, as well as LaTroy Hawkins. I mean Mark has never been on DL, has that smooth motion and is done at 36? Poor pitchers. Their arms just can't take the stress. 36 is not old compared to some of the dudes of the past. Because the game of baseball hasn't changed at all since Cy Young.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Oct 6, 2015 -> 09:03 AM) Sure they can. But AFAIK, in the 30+ years they've owned the team they have never done that. So I doubt they'd start now. According to Jerry, they try to run as close to break-even as possible. The team lost money in 2014.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) Lots of sarcasm from Damon but I wouldn't say it's one of the funniest ever It would have to be pretty good to knock off say Dogma as Damon's funniest ever.

15th in payroll 20th in record 26th in attendance 30th in TV ratings

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 10:09 PM) I worship him, too, but I don't understand this one. I mean, he's got to be rich beyond belief. Stay in a hotel for half the home games. So you stay 45 nights in a hotel at 200 bucks a night (check Air B and B and you could probably get a really nice condo for 200 a night). That's 9,000 bucks. At Hawk's age, 9000 bucks is obviously like 50 bucks to the normal Joe. Not even an annoyance. You might even be able to write it off on your taxes. The other home games, suck it up and drive home and back as you've done the last many years. It's only April through October. I don't understand how the team would OK him only doing road games. Just seems ridiculous. That said, I'd go for Stone as lead announcer on all home games with somebody like Paciorek or Frank Thomas or AJP or Buehrle joining the team as home games color man. On the road, it's Hawk as play by play guy with Stone; and Farmer/DJ as radio crew. You think he pays for his hotel room?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 04:53 PM) All offseason we're going to hear anyone 30+ or anyone from the NL "would suck on the Sox." The season has been done for one day and I have already heard it multiple times. All because it happened a couple of times. Plenty of players make the switch.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 07:02 PM) Yeah, because children have never killed other children until the year 2015. Enough of the alarmist "moral decline" stuff. http://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/cri...es/james-bulger Look up Leopold and Loeb.

Raffi Torres suspended 41 games for this one.

I can't see a Mexican team being able to pull in enough dollars to compete.

670 The Score ‏@670TheScore 32m32 minutes ago Teuvo Teravainen to join Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa on #Blackhawks' top line to open season: http://cbsloc.al/1VzA9OA

FutureSox.com ‏@FutureSox 4h4 hours ago 3B Trey Michalczewski at 11th, OF Adam Engel at 14th best prospects in Carolina League per @BaseballAmerica : http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/2015-ca

I'd still love to see Mark come back here for a victory lap.

QUOTE (Soxfan90 @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 12:20 PM) That's odd. Yankees could use CC for the playoffs. That could be a huge blow for the ALDS+ if they beat the Astros on Tuesday. Why couldn't he wait until after? There are more important things than baseball. Good luck to CC, and his family.

Barry Davis ‏@SNBarryDavis 20h20 hours ago Buehrle finds it funny how many people have already reported that he's retiring. That decision won't be made until off season. #bluejays

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 34m34 minutes ago Ken Harrelson confirmed cutback to #whitesox road-only schedule (plus a few home games) but declined to elaborate. http://bit.ly/1jKqLqo 2 retweets 0 favorites

So Brooks, when should I expect my call about the broadcasting job?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 01:06 PM) What's his deal? I heard him at the end of his show saturday (literally last two minutes) sounded like he was signing off for good. Thanking his parents for all the support, saying the show had a good run the last 10 years etc etc. He's definitely leaving something, but since I caught so little wasn't sure if it was 670 to the new station, the sox, or both. The White Sox are leaving him.
