Reporter and cameraman shot/killed during live broadcast
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.

The Pet Thread
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/

Could White Sox trade some pitching to fill other areas in offseason
QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 10:38 AM) No matter what, they need to be less lefty heavy. Four LHP starters is too much. That said, the LHP to move should be Danks. Q's contract is too team friendly. I also think rodon should be back in the minors next year. Of course Danks is the guy you want to move. Now which bad contract are you willing to take on to do it?

2015 MLB Catch-All Thread
QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 09:32 AM) http://deadspin.com/yankees-yell-at-carlos...dium=socialflow I don't see anything wrong with what Gomez did. Even though the game was out of hand, mad at himself for missing a pitch, when he has been struggling since going to the Astros. Yet, the Yankees going after him to act professional which I disagree with. Also, the slide by Gomez looked fine to be as well, just over slid it. Thoughts? Yeah, and people think Hawk is a homer...

Chris Tannehill/Score trying to make Harrelson look bad...?
QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 07:59 AM) Lol at anyone who thinks hawk would retire quietly without the parading around and ceremonies. He deserves them anyways. Agreed.

I am guessing if anyone leaves this booth, it will be Stone, and not Hawk.

Most hated player in White Sox history
QUOTE (My_Sox_Summer @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 10:33 AM) I never liked Swish. Plus he embraces the Br-Ohio. https://usatftw.files.wordpress.com/2014/05...=448&crop=1 Belle really sticks out to me. My cousin and I were at spring training, he went to take a picture of Mr. Belle. Mr. Belle (in not such a nice way) asked if my cousin was into men and questioned why he was taking pictures of him rather than the pretty girls there. He then called him a derogatory name for a gay male and walked up to bat. He was swell! Oh to have a camera phone back then. Guys like that are exactly why stats aren't why you hate a player.

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 06:48 PM) I've heard rumour (not from a great source, but he does work in tv for the red Sox) that the Sox offered Orsillo the job for next year yesturday. So if what the royals chaps said is true, we may hear something soon. The White Sox offered the Red Sox announcer a job for 2016?

Well, it's that time of year again....2015 edition
QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 11:58 AM) Even if we don't sign a top guy, what if we end up trading Quintana and decide to replace him with one of the 2nd tier SP on the market this offseason? Top 10 pick is still really valuable there. I don't see us signing a guy with a big enough deal that he would have gotten a QO. Of all people Balta has repeatedly made the case about how we have no money to spend this off season, especially if Samardjiza is brought back.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 11:53 AM) If we're talking about the difference between spots 11 and 13 you're right. If you're talking about the difference between slot 11 and slot 10, you're 100% wrong. That's the difference between being able to sign a top level free agent and not. Or the difference between a high first round pick and a 2nd round pick. That's the difference between having a Chris Sale/Carson Fulmer and giving him up. I see no scenario that has us signing that type of free agent.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 11:10 AM) I just still can't find myself to want losses this year. In the long run this team will get more from finding out what they have in a few guys and having them succeed versus moving up a few slots in the draft.

Most hated player in White Sox history
QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 10:47 AM) Nah, I can hate Kirk Hinrich and Gordon Beckham for what they represent. They represent people who despite being amongst the top 1% in the world at what they do, aren't as good as the rest of their peers. Totally worth hating.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 10:27 AM) Sure if you're 13 years old. Hatred is reserved for guys like Brett Myers in my mind. Bingo. Being frustrated that a guy sucks is one thing. Hatred belongs to a special group of guys who really deserve, such as the wife beaters and general scumbags.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 07:44 AM) There are many instances of people beating the S&P500 Index for a span of years -- but it's never sustained. Given enough time, the S&P500 ALWAYS wins, which is why I simply invest my 401k into that, and a foreign index. This. Totally this. Find the SP500 fund, use that as your main investment long term. Pick some other funds if you like for the rest. If you have extra money to invest, do what you want with that money. I am about to take on some lottery tickets in long term crude oil options. Make sure it is money that you can afford to lose. Historically NO ONE beats the SP, especially once trading fees are included.

2015 TV Thread
QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 05:45 AM) Tracy Morgan will host one of the first SNL's of the season. Was never really a fan of his comedy but that's awesome. I thought he was done with the limelight after his accident. Agreed. I never really found him very funny, but I am happy to see he is back. From the sounds of the accident it seems like even that is a miracle.
