QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 11:49 AM) 1st rule is that Gage gets no time off because he is the face of a multi-dollar operation here at Soxtalk. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 11:56 AM) Approved. I'm going to be taking the 6th off (3rd is a company holiday). Rejected because of The Gage Rule.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) Friday July 3 is a company holiday for me but I'm thinking of taking the 2nd off too. Rejected.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 11:45 AM) From now on everyone here should post their vacation schedule and we as a group can decide whether to allow them their time off or not. 1st rule is that Gage gets no time off because he is the face of a multi-dollar operation here at Soxtalk.

For anyone who listens to games, apparently they are picking up on the Swirsky thing of reading people's tweeted questions. Darrin Jackson ‏@DJWhiteSox 8m8 minutes ago Every game we will try to respond to some of your tweets in the middle of the game.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 08:07 AM) Todays Chicago Crain Business said the White Sox expect to draw 1.9 million this 2015 season. That's a increase of 250,000 0ver 2014. If the team keeps winning I would like to think they will draw over 2 million. And in case anyone was seriously wondering, this is exactly why the rebuild was pushed up a year or two.

QUOTE (SnB @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 08:21 AM) What kind of ridiculous jobs have you had where you can't take 3 days off? I think he should publicly post his vacation schedule so that we can all analyze it.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 11:32 PM) With the slide tackle in game 3 and now this, LeBron should start looking into a career as a soccer player during the off-season. He is the ultimate flop artist.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 10:34 PM) You're right but lets give credit where it's due. He reminds me of Jorge Mateo of the Yankees (In my opinion their top prospect not named Aaron Judge), but I think Mota has some more growing to do. Mota is a full younger then any player we just picked in the entire 2015 draft. Of course he has a lot of growing to do.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 09:06 PM) Yeah, but they waited until travel conditions were better. Robin should have told his daughter to wait until they were on the west coast. The hatred be spewed is disgusting. [like] [favorite]

And just for arguments sake, I'll offer a one up. The great Joe Maddon missed two games to go to his girlfriends graduation. http://m.rays.mlb.com/news/article/1456373/ Guillen missed a day going from Tampa to Miami for Ozney's graduation http://www.grobbernet.com/2010/05/ Bobby Cox missed for his daughters graduation http://onlineathens.com/stories/060500/spo...ml#.VXo8hEaLVgs Buck Showalter. http://m.orioles.mlb.com/news/article/7545...ers-graduations Terry Francona http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/reds...ona_will_m.html

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 08:04 PM) Wow. There are no words for a response to this post. Yep, those are the kind of posts that embarrass a fan base. Seriously, can we at least pretend that we are in the 21st century, and things like being a father are important? Who cares what his job is. Can Bill Gates not take a few days off because he is the face of Microsoft? Seriously if it bothers a person bad enough where they have to personally attack a person, your priorities are seriously out of whack. With all of the truly bad people in sports who really should be called out, this is the opposite of that. This is a father showing his daughter that she is the most important thing in the world to him, not some game. Bravo. If more men were like this with their daughers and sons, this world would be a much better place.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 07:04 PM) The Blue Jays want pitching, I would trade them Shark for Hoffman and cash straight up. And after they hang up the phone on you...

Let's be real. Most working class fathers wouldn't have their vacation time questioned by a message board. In fact no one would care at all if 99.9999% of people took 3 days off for this. People can question Ventura for his moves or the state of this team, that doesn't bother me, but for being as his daughters graduation? Ugh. It smells of meatballs.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 06:16 PM) Probably not but it's the experience in clubhouse, roadtrips etc. that they are looking at. Sure, but he can do that as an intern, clubhouse manager, front office aide, etc.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 05:54 PM) I think it has more to do with the experience. He is probably going to play for a little while so he sees what it's like and what the other ballplayers are like. Then he will transition out of the playing side and into a front office or scouting. I'd be shocked if he ever saw a professional pitch as a player, ever. The odds are about as close to zero as they are for me winning the powerball.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 04:50 PM) I think Crawford, outside of the last game, hasn't been great but is far from the major reason we're in such a close series. Our skaters have not played that well. The Roszival injury is hurting a lot and every d-man outside of the Keith/Hjalmarsson tandem has been terrible at times, while Cumiskey/Van Riemsdyk/Timonen have all been terrible the majority of their time on the ice. We had gotten little production out of our top line until last night. The bright side is that the series is tied and we're rooting for the Blackhawks. They are the team, of all those I root for, that I get least stressed about. I've felt fairly pessimistic at times throughout the postseason, but with the Hawks there's always that thought in your mind that they could turn it on at any moment. Even better, I feel extremely confident that they won't fold. They're capable of being outplayed, but not of giving up or getting rattled by the moment. Totally agree. The CRAWFORD movement in Hawks fans is the same group that annually campaigns for the back up QB on the Bears, the non-playing rookie guy on the Bulls, and the hot playing nobody guy in the minors for our baseball teams. It is the simple response to a not so simple situation.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 05:32 PM) What is the point of the Reinsdorf draft? Like he's not signing and surely everyone knows it's a nepotism pick, so what gain is there? Is it the hope that some college sees "draft pick by the White Sox" on his CV and doesn't recognise the name? It might be a 0.001% chance that your 40th round pick does anything for you in the majors, maybe unlikely you even want to sign anyone at that point because of numbers, but I'm not seeing the advantage even for the Reinsdorf kid in the pick. There is no point. It means nothing. Well actually it probably means that the draft is still too long if these types of picks are happening.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 04:56 PM) lol He isn't even on New Trier's roster. I was on New Trier's roster at one time (very) long ago, and I was far, far, far away from a chance at pro ball. I hear he has a fan in the organization...

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 12:47 PM) As picks come in, they will go here, as well as of course on the Draft Tracker on Future Sox. Players still alive in postseason baseball will be highlighted in green Players that have signed or have said they will sign will be in bold. Players who are confirmed as NOT signing will be in red. 40 (1192): Joseph Reinsdorf, 2B, 5-11, 148, L-R, New Trier HS (Ill.) How do you know he isn't signing?
