QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 11:57 AM) MY kid has an iphone... eating data like there is no tomorrow. He swears he only uses when connected to wi-FI. I go into this phone and find a setting that has all of his apps selected to use data plan instead of wi-fi. Is this really possible and is this the default setting. I am an android person and it seemed really shady to me and the i[phone seems to like to default to the data plan rather than wi-fi. Its been national news. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/apple-ios-9-wi...vour-your-data/

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 11:08 AM) I've never been Trayce's biggest fan but we're to the point where he has to be in consideration for a starting outfield spot next year, right? He pretty much as to, for no other reason than his defense. If Avi isn't going to hit, he is worthless out there. Thompson can at least catch the ball at a plus rate.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 10:48 AM) i read it somewhere ....when i was looking up other forbe articles on this yearly profit and income. i also remember where they mention that they deal with the actual money that is listed. they also said that they do not count for the accuracy of that, b/c of the lawyer and accounts of the org know what they are doing. so in essence you want to find a little tidbit on the net of this proof .... get real . quit be a troll on everything like you know it all. lol. OK. I have read the Sox Forbes page for years, and I don't remember seeing anything like the warning you are talking about. If there is something out there I don't know about, I'd like to see it. You can stop the personal attacks anytime now.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) b/c they have stated as such in their yearly post, with added disclaimer. they do this so they will not be blame for fabricating info to an article. I don't see this. Care to share?

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 10:12 AM) It's not implausible, but I'd wait till I hear it from someone other than her It seems strange, but then again it should be pretty easy to verify.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 10:30 AM) they have a set of parameters they deal with. the profit lost and other resources that affects the profit and lost. they do not delve into the others hidden resources or secondary companies b/c it is not dealing with the actual sox org.. that is why all these big companies spends millions on excellent corporate lawyers and corporate accountants. to find that elusive and legal way of dealing with the money. I'd be curious to see how you know this.

If you didn't see it, you really should. I am trying to remember a better defensive play this year, and I cannot. The gif doesn't do it justice as he covered some major ground just to get into position for the full extension dive. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/649227806489055232 http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/video/v50913...Id=clubMEGAMENU

Adam Eaton is second on the team in homers. Who picked that one at the beginning of April?

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 03:58 AM) my disclaimer ~ i am with you on all this. but i would like to add something . now, the source have stated that the owners haven't lost money, in yrs. now for some clarification. is that from the main company. the sox org or is that from all the secondary companies that they have set up. like the chi sports grill company. which is associated directly with the sox org and is in sox park. they also provide all the vending lease and licenses and supplies for the vendors. i think it is both..... that corp and commercial income is huge and is not considered in the final tally at the end of the day. I am pretty sure that Forbes is smart enough to figure that stuff out. They study companies WAY more complex than the Chicago White Sox on a daily basis.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 10:02 PM) Please feel free to educate me then on what I was supposed to take from it. Seriously...I've just been here two months and have read enough of your comments to get a sense of your philosophy. It's the fans fault, they should pack the place and hope the Sox can figure out a way to spend that money and win. History shows this organization though had trouble spending any kind of money in a productive way more often then not. 2005 being the exception when they actually had less money for Kenny to play around with. Until the front office gets a badly needed shake up, it's just more of the same mediocrity at best regardless of if they draw 300,000 or 3 million for a season, Mark You apparently read what I had to say about it, and still took from it the typical "its all the fans fault", so it is pretty much a waste of time to try to convince you differently. Thought I do like the fact you are telling me in one post that resources don't matter, but the team should be spending more in another. So obviously you realize the ability to spend has an effect.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 09:09 AM) Forget it, he's rolling.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 07:58 PM) I'd do the same thing with his fame and money. I agree with everything else. You do it without fame and money.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 08:14 PM) My point is there is plenty of evidence showing the Sox could actually spend a lot more money if they wanted to both at the major league level and the minor league system. I've heard from two individuals over the years with connections to the Sox Board of Directors. They have told me on separate occasions the Sox haven't lost money in years. But feel free to keep blaming the fans who pays the freight instead of the millionairs with all the financial advantages. That's your choice and I laugh out loud at anyone who takes that approach. Mark Of course that is what you took from all of that.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Holy s*** Trayce That might have been the best defensive play by a southsider this year.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 07:31 PM) And who is to say what those resource limits are? Until an independent economist gets to take a look at Sox finances we'll never know what they could or could not do. Circumstantial evidence over a number of years (to go along with the revenue being generated by MLB) points to the possibility of the Sox being able to spend more and do both if they chose to. It was like when Veeck owned the team the second time, conventional thinking was he had no money. That was far from the truth, you look at the names on the Sox Board of Directors under Veeck and you found some of the richest people in America like the guy who owned Pizer Chemicals. It was a matter if pride with Veeck that he refused to go back and ask them for more money and promised them a profit every season. The reality was the Sox could have spent like the Yankees if they wanted to...they chose not to do so. I get the sense that at times that same philosophy was in place with the Sox and may still be. Just don't know for sure. But I go back to my original point. Given the tax payer funded stadium, given the lease advantages from the state, given the improvements made to the ballpark (and not by JR's money) the White Sox have the first, second, third obligation to field a good competitive club on a consistent basis BEFORE having the right (or the gall) to call out their fan base in any way shape or form. And that goes for their supporters wherever they may be. The ownership group has done some very good things...they've also done some really stupid things which have put them in the position they are in. The fans didn't sign Adam LaRoche, the fans didn't trade for Nick Swisher, the fans didn't sign Adam Dunn just to name a few examples or give a big contract to a stiff like Jeff Keppinger. That was ownership / front office. Period. Just my opinion. Mark I actually laughed out loud at that statement. I am not quite sure what an economist would do with financial statements, but it would be entertaining to watch. Also the idea of demanding that a sports franchise should have to be subject to an audit just for the sake of the fans is laugh out loud funny. I won't even get into the false dichotomy of being worth a lot of money meaning that you automatically have the ability to spend it on something else.

I will say that Derrick Rose is in mid-season form. He already got an injury and saying something stupid out of the way pretty early this year.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 05:55 PM) I can't lie, I laughed out loud. At least you are a funny professional troll. Waiting for new evidence on Derrick Rose's performance in back to backs and how it is more correlated to all the late night post-game activities. That's why I make the big bucks. Still waiting to hit free agency so I can get the bank-breaker of a deal.

Rumor is Rose took a sex toy to the face. Still waiting for confirmation.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 05:42 PM) typical recovery is 4-6 weeks, which for him is 6-8 months.
