QUOTE (thedoctor @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 10:45 AM) i'd take issue with buehrle being included here. the guy has been remarkably consistent for an extended period of time, thrown a no-no and perfect game and has a ring. i don't think he's a hall of famer, but if he decided to pitch another five or six years (which i think he could, but won't) i think he'd have numbers that would put him in the hof conversation. he's never been the most dominant pitcher, but there are few who can match the extended consistency he's had. Yeah, Mark;s chances for the HOF are directly tied to how long he wants to pitch. He's never had a stand out season, but here he is at 212 wins. If he can make a run at 300, does he make it?

Sale is the best peak I have ever seen with the White Sox. Before I would call him best ever for the franchise, I want to see him hold that peak for a number of years. Guys like Ted Lyons and Ed Walsh dominated their eras. Walsh actually still holds an all-time lead on Sale in ERA+ at 146 to 142. Walsh also leads in FIP, which Sale doesn't even break the top 10 on. Ed Walsh is also a Hall of Famer. Sale can get there, and is well on his way, but for my two cents, best ever consideration takes a larger body of work.

This breakdown of the Ashley Madison data dump is freaking awesome. Basically that site was more of a sausage fest then a mlb fan baseball message board. Spoiler, out of the 5.5 million registered accounts to women, roughly 12,000 of them show any level of actual activity, compared to something like 20 million on the guys side. http://gizmodo.com/almost-none-of-the-wome...base-1725558944

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) Civil suit, not a criminal one. That is what I am saying. There is nothing about a criminal investigation, police involvement etc happening first, instead straight to a lawsuit.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 09:12 PM) Hoyt would have been an icon in Chicago history if not for Dybber. Hoyt was 24-10 that 1983 year with a 3.66 ERA. If Dybber doesn't mess up the series is 2-2 and Sox EASILY win the Sunday game to take that series behind Hoyt. Then they continue steaming to a WS title. They won 99 games that year. I'm surprised that what ultimately happened that season is not discussed as one of the biggest chokes ever by a team. Sale is amazing, though. If he stays healthy he'll be best Sox starter ever. He really ought to ask experts about his delivery. Longevity is all that may escape Mr. Sale. he is superb. Well that and cocaine.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 11:05 AM) A real simple question with Joe Biden is "what role would he actually fill in this campaign?" Is he going to ideologically tap into a group that isn't well served by the current major candidates? No. We've actually got a good spectrum from "Confederate Flags aren't that bad" to "guy who calls himself a socialist" and a good set in-between already represented. Is he a better campaigner than any of the major candidates? No. Extremely gaffe prone, without the backing of outright racists like Trump has who overlook that stuff. Could he come out with a policy proposal set that is significantly better than the current candidates? Maybe, but he's several years behind the curve in developing such policy proposals. Is he going to outdo Hillary in fundraising or something else like that? Maybe could suck up some money, but certainly not going to outdo her when again she's got a 12 month+ head start. What's the point of a Biden run? It's basically to pacify people who for some reason can't personally stand Hillary Clinton, like you. I'm ok with him meeting with some people about things, it's always nice to have a "backup plan" in case the "here's the floor plan to the structure in Benghazi and the key is under a fake rock to the left" email Republicans have been dreaming existed for 4 years actually did exist, but other than that, he'd hurt himself by getting in unnecessarily and there's no reason to think he'd be an improvement except for people like you who are actively considering voting for Donald Trump. Not exactly a strong endorsement. Sounds a lot like his political career to me.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 11:04 PM) So a kid I went to school with messaged me and goes on to think this whole thing was fake. Because, in the body cam video of the shooter, the woman is seen running after getting shot. He says that they were blanks. What an idiot. The internet has really enabled a lot of people with no deductive reasoning skills what-so-ever to get to a whole lot of information they would be way better off without, and makes them think they are WAY smarter then the actually are.

QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 10:51 PM) they did it to sell papers. And will also get the clicks from people going to their website...

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 04:58 PM) I love that argument. If the US military ever decided to go crazy and control people, it'd be game over in about 10 seconds. I got the same laugh as when people thought our local police department getting an MRAP meant that it was going to be used to declare martial law and take over the town... Because we don't have a Coast Guard installation and an Army reserve base in town that we have had for decades with real military vehicles or anything.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 06:55 AM) Actually it has(in a sense). If you can believe it, a Friends scene had never aired because it was to go on shortly after 9/11 and it was about Chandler going on a plane and being suspected of having a bomb. Only recently has it been made available to watch http://www.mtv.com/news/2244620/friends-ai...-deleted-scene/ The Simpsons pulled the Homer vs NYC episode after 9/11.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 09:06 AM) That's interesting. I wonder what my DVR recorded then. Did they show last week's episode again? They replayed last week from what I understand.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 08:38 PM) At the best case, Kane and his friends took two willing girls home and one saw a pay day and falsely accused him of something he didn't do. Which means he again put himself into a bad situation. Like him or not, Patrick Kane is a f***ing idiot.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 05:53 PM) Right, it could mean it never happened or that it was date rape. Of course he is innocent until proven guilty in this country which is exactly how I would expect the hawks to respond. Extra short rope, nothing else. At the very absolute best case, what it means is that Patrick Kane put himself in harms way. Again. Worst case...

Sanchez's range and arm scream middle infielder. I don't see him having the arm for 3rd. Up the middle he gets to use his range more. 2B is a great spot for him.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 05:00 PM) "But he came over here and he really didn’t have success." Denny McClain is an idiot. According to White Sox fans conventional wisdom he was worthless because his whole time there he never won a World Series.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 05:42 PM) Why would you move him if there were no charges for anything? All we have is media rumors and an investigation based on information mostly "leaked." In a rape case, not enough evidence to prosecute doesn't mean much at all. The fact remains that after all this time and money, the guy still can't stay out of trouble. It isn't hard to imagine a franchise having enough of Kane's stupidity, or even just having a fear that eventually he will miss time because of his stupidity.

QUOTE (RegionSox @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 04:38 PM) The Mr Robot season finale is being pushed back a week NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) If there was no video of this event, is this even a story outside of the local broadcast area, or maybe Virginia? I mean, as someone else pointed out, 3 people were shot in Chicago just today. More will be shot tomorrow. We have no video, we just read about it, and no one really thinks twice about it. Video is becoming more and more influential in how we take in these events. From Ray Rice to Steve Sarkisian (5 years ago that's not even a news story) and now this. Involving the media itself, it would have been a big deal.

This is one of the cooler things I have heard about lately. Basically it can take facial recognition software and apply it to lost dogs. What you do is you take pictures of your dog. If it ever runs away, you can send out a notification. If you see a lost dog, you can take a picture of it, and the facial recognition software will match it to any lost dogs in their data base. http://www.findingrover.com/
