QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 04:18 PM) How many of the star power owners would move the team in a second to seal a larger profit margin. All of them. Which tells me that there aren't any real palatable markets out there, or teams like Oakland and Tampa would be looking to move there.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 07:29 PM) RICK HAHN'S CELLPHONE Incoming call from Theo Epstein Theo: "Hey Rick, so, we want to talk Chris Sale. How's Almora and Vogelbach sound?" Hahn: "Theo, Almora and Russell could maybe get you Jose Quintana if I'm in a good mood." Theo: "Alright, what if I give you Vogelbach and Baez for Quintana? Kind of the same thing!" Hangs up You have one unopened voicemail "Hey Rick, must have lost you. This Windy City weather can be nuts, right? Ok. So what if I give you Almora, Russell, Vogelbach and Baez for Sale and Quintana?" You have two unopened voicemails "Hey Rick. Me again. What if I give you Edwards, Baez and Russell for Sale?" You have three unopened voicemails "Rick, man, the service where you're at must be terrible. Ok. Russell, Baez, Edwards and Schwarber for Sale? Great deal for you, hell you're winning this deal!" You have four unopened voicemails "Rick, it's me, Kenny. Don't trade with Theo. He keeps calling me pretending to be an insurance company before suddenly wanting to give me a huge SALE at a discounted price of Russell, Baez, Edwards and Schwarber." Rick Hahn listens to all voicemails Calling "Northside Asshat" "Ok Theo, you want to talk Sale, let's talk Sale. Bryant, Russell, Almora, Edwards and Schwarber. I'll even give you John Danks, it's supposed to be easy for pitchers to go AL to NL, right?" "Rick, that's just too much risk. What if Sale gets hurt and I'm stuck with his massive contract?" Hangs up You have one unopened voicemail "Screw you Rick. Jed was ready to give me Rizzo for Archer when he was with the Padres, why can't you be a normal GM and play along?" :

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 10:32 PM) And Q has Toews, Kane, Hossa and Keith. Coaches who win lots of championships tend to have really good players. It would be a pretty easy argument to say that Q had more talent than Phil.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 08:17 AM) Again, this is the type of thing that Bernstein would just go holier than thou against if someone else did it. QFT. The guy is a flat out sexist. He would love to have himself to talk about on a radio show.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) Hawks don't get out of the first round without Darling. He was magnificent against Nashville. Hawks need to do everything in their power to get rid of Bickell. And I'd rather see Versteeg dealt next over Sharp. Versteeg doesn't have nearly the cap hit either.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 06:09 PM) I am sure Sharpie is gone. I have no doubt about that. With Teuvo here, and them probably wanting to make a space for the Russian kid they just signed, the writing is on the wall.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 04:46 PM) i wouldn't be surprise if Bickell gets buried in the minors or traded. that is a savings of 4 mil right there. second, you need a goalie who can win the big games, Crawford has shown that and carried this team in the playoff this yr. some of the D-man from the 3rd line will get moved somehow. even if their contract is not picked up. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that you can't do that anymore under the new CBA.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 2h2 hours ago White Sox have been shut out on four hits or less in consecutive games for the first time since 4/9-10/97 vs. Toronto. During that span, they have gone 6-for-58 (.103) with three walks and no extra-base hits and are 0-for-7 with RISP.

Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane 57m57 minutes ago White Sox pitcher vs. Rangers on Sat., which would be Carlos Rodon's turn, is listed as TBA. Ventura had said extra rest might be coming.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 03:35 PM) I wouldn't mind the Blackhawks bringing back Andrew Desjardins next. Not sure if they will have the cap space. I thought he worked well for them on the 4th line. It probably all depends on how much Saad gets. And who gets traded. The wild card has to be Corey Crawford getting dealt. With the defense the Hawks have, would they be willing to turn the keys to the car over to Raanta and Darling?

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 02:53 PM) why not the writz family??? Do they have a spare billion dollars laying around?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 02:35 PM) encourage Donald Trump to buy the team or maybe Mark Cuban wll be interested Neither would be approved by MLB ownership.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 01:37 PM) You're way too high on this Bulls team. They'll never win anything. If they couldn't make it past Cleveland this year, they never will.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 01:33 PM) The trick would be that the team taking him would have to be willing to accept him on a 2-3 year contract with an opt out that allows him to become unrestricted. Would the Lakers be willing to do that? It would work for him just like the article stated. He gets a short term contract, and the ability to sign a full extension later.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 01:04 PM) Mlb would never let the sox move out of chicago. It's not something to worry about. And I am not sure where they would move that is more profitable anyway.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 12:15 PM) In today's game I almost think it's a requirement that your manager be an ex catcher. Relying on Cooper and Flowers to call the balls and strikes and RV to know when to start the running game and when not doesn't seem to be working very well. The whole thing with how Parent handled Eaton rubbed me the wrong way as well and is indicative of a fractured clubhouse imo. Yea Eaton needs to grow up, play better, and not say dumb s*** like "stir the drink" but how about standing behind the guy you just committed 25 million dollars to instead of having the acting f***ing manager bench him for a career AAAA player? The whole org is a mess right now and the stench goes much deeper than just RV, unfortunately. THEY NEED TO SHOW SIGNS OF LIFE [player shows sign of life] HE NEEDS TO CUT THAT s*** OUT!

With the way Thibs abused Butler, trading him might not be the most awful idea. We all know the Bulls aren't winning anything as currently constructed anyway. A sign and trade deal involving the #2 pick could be a starter.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) I've watched the first two and it's so....corny. And not very accurate historically. I mean "things" that happened, happened, (the Alamo, Goliad, etc.) but the random people thrown in really throws it off. The New Orleans woman, Ray Liotta's character, etc. Also Paxton's southern accent is terrible. Yeah, the last episode was pretty soap opera-esque.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 06:40 PM) QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 06:23 PM) I would love to hear you document some specifics, both in cues and in specific happenings. player makes a bad play he runs back to the dugout with his head down... Ventura has his head down as he runs by. Players strikes out 3 times or more in a row has no emotional reaction of any kind. Team throws the ball around allowing unearned runs to score... no one says anything to each other ... just a bunch of blank stares from players and coaches. I'm not going to document S*** though since that's a lot of work. But some of you are making laugh. It's like no one in the world's fault... its just the ebb and flow of the universe. None of those are actual specifics.

The whole if you hate LeBron something is wrong with you thing is played out. It is OK to hate rival players. Hell I would probably still run Reggie MIller over if I saw him in the crosswalk in front of me car.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 06:03 PM) Lax attitude doesn't have to be about "yelling".... There are about 100 other verbal and non verbal signals involved. I would love to hear you document some specifics, both in cues and in specific happenings.
