QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 09:27 PM) It depends on the buyer. Some people get really flaky Totally this. Was the negotiation process pretty smooth? Anything weird on their end? That might tell you right there. We had a large room mirror broken before our closing, we just asked them to fix it, and they did. No big problem.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 08:47 AM) And again. Dunn, for example, should not make anybody's list, because as disappointed as one might have been with his performance, he never complained. He never made excuses or pointed the finger at anybody else or took it out on teammates (like that d***head David Wells did). Totally.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 06:14 PM) Being a bust as a player though is different from being hated. This needs to be said again.

Scot Gregor ‏@scotgregor 5m5 minutes ago #WhiteSox VP Kenny Williams says he is flattered about rumored outside interest but he's also comfortable in Chicago Kenny Williams a few minutes after talking to reporters: "All right, what did I say this time that's going to get me in trouble?"

Down 588 on the day, after being off as much as 1000 points early, and has high as down only just under 100 points. The last hour of trading had a trading range of 400ish Dow points.

This article kind of sucked, as it went with AJ. I'd be curious who everyone else would pick. For me Jaime Navarro tops the list. http://www.rantsports.com/mlb/2015/07/25/t...medium=referral

This is the first reporter I have seen that mentioned Ventura NOT being safe.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 27m27 minutes ago Reggie Wayne and New England Patriots have reached agreement on a one-year deal, league source told ESPN.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) I have to imagine Harper, Sale and Machado would be the Top 3. Throwing Matt Harvey into the mix as well, who goes #1 would be interesting. And out of that bunch, who had Chris Sale as the only to NOT suffer a major injury. Wow.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 11:03 AM) Was reading something interesting on how china's huge investment into real estate to the point of overextension means they don't have an easy area to target to reinflate economy. They have huge levels of municipal level debt, as I understand it.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 11:41 AM) In case anyone wants to see the 2010 Draft thread, most here were crazy about Sale.] http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=77853 What would be interesting is to redraft the 2010 draft.

Good stuff Will!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) The way I'd say it is their undervalued currency is a major long-term negative on the U.S. Job market, so they have a huge long-term impact, but short-term shocks in China aren't likely to flow the other way. Close enough. And right now their central bank is spending a ton of dollar reserves trying to keep that float from eroding, taking away some of their other economic stimulus options.

Paul Sullivan ‏@PWSullivan 3m3 minutes ago Chicago, IL Soler injury hurts. Could be out a month. LaStella up so Coghlan can go to right field.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 10:35 AM) The U.S. corporate market still seems strong, Europe is at least currently stable until the next Greek crisis arrives in a year or so (or in a few months depending on what the IMF does), China's fluctuations will hit the U.S. manufacturing sector even more but that's already been devastated so the exposure to the U.S. of that is limited. The U.S. market should weather this as a temporary blip/correction unless someone does something stupid...i.e. the Fed could raise rates in the near future as they've been threatening to do and turn this into a major rout...or we could run into a 2002-style explosion of all sorts of financial fraud schemes that were surviving as long as markets kept moving upwards & couldn't survive the down blip. Our economy affects China on a macro level WAY more than China hits ours. With the barriers to entry, things don't really flow that way.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 10:27 AM) That their finger smell? Seriously, I don't know the answer..but am I right? I actually presume this is a decent enough to buy. But better yet, just stick with consistent allocations (DCA) and you should do fine (as long as you are looking long term). I don't invest for the short-term or with short-term funds so I can't comment on that. Anything I have in the market, the plan would be, that I have no short-term needs for such funds. Unless you believe China is about to collapse, it is a buying opportunity.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 10:06 AM) Not sure how much sense that makes. You know what they say about people who try to pick bottoms. My favorite trading saying

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) Anderson has, by multiple reliable accounts, improved his defense substantially this year. I feel fairly confident now that he'll stick at short. If nothing else, the error totals have come WAY down. Again, this is a kid who didn't play baseball until his Junior year of HS. He is very young in baseball terms, as well as real life.

The one thing that is really happy today is the VIX. The dow has had something like 1000 points worth of move from top to bottom. We have recovered about 700 points from the lows.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 09:13 AM) Yeah, these last 2 weeks have sucked for my accounts. A true China recession is long overdue. The only real question is how much their government will let happen, and depending on how bad it gets, how much they can do to stop it.

With the emergence of Saladino and Sanchez, plus Johnson knocking on the door, Leury's time on the 40 is probably ticking away. I also expect the White Sox to add a real 3B over this winter, which would all but seal his fate.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 23, 2015 -> 01:32 PM) You're not alone, but I was fine with the ending. I loved the movie so anything they did would of probably been ok with me. The movie was great up until that point.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 22, 2015 -> 02:11 PM) Of course on a day Davidson faced a future good major league pitcher, he goes 0-4 with 3 ks. Not sure what it means, but Viciedo is hitting .316 with Charlotte. Single and walk today. It means nothing. AAA numbers, especially for a guy that spent so many years at the major league level, are worthless.
