Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 1h1 hour ago Jesse Crain felt great again throwing live BP. He'll throw one more session on Sunday and then they'll re-evaluate Crain's next step is probably a B game or Minor League game but he seemed as confident as he's been all camp today

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 10m10 minutes ago From @JesseCrain RT @scottmerkin: Crain on live BP: "I felt really close to a place where I haven’t been in a long time. So I’m happy."

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 12, 2015 -> 12:56 PM) Chicago is so over hyped. Illinois rarely gets Chicago talent, especially since 2000. It's been about Peoria and other random players through the state. And yes, missing the tournament, especially with the expanded field, is just unacceptable. Groce got a pass because he was taking over a roster with little talent after his first few years (although I argue it wasn't as bad as others make it out to be), but at this point it's all on him and his coaching. And both have been pretty suspect thus far. Rice was his best "get." Keeping Nunn and Hill interested was big. Otherwise? A bunch of s*** players. Morgan? Colbert? Tate? Crap, Crap, Crap. Illinois might not get the top Chicago talent, but the Chicago talent is not over-hyped. Hell after Okafor is picked #1, we are looking at 3 #1 overall picks in about 10 years coming out of Chicago.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 12, 2015 -> 11:35 AM) So I mentioned in another thread I am shopping for a home for my parents, because they would like to move out to Las Vegas (where my wife and I live). We have a son on the way. My wife's parents live here in Las Vegas as well. Am I nuts for considering having a multi-generational home built? Apparently these are beginning to become a little more commonplace in the United States, but are fairly common elsewhere in the world. Rising childcare, healthcare, energy and other costs of living are continuously increasing, and it is cheaper to maintain one large household than several small ones. I dunno, it seems to make quite a bit of sense assuming you can design a home in such a way that allows for the separate generations to have adequate space and privacy. That really depends on how much your wife gets along with your in-laws. It can be a pretty intense thing, and if it goes wrong, a b**** to sort out.

With the speed at which you can turn around an NFL franchise, a 3 win season wouldn't be a bad thing for the Bears. Clear out another year of Jay Cutler, and set up the franchise to get an impact player at the top of the draft who would be cheaper and under control for a long time. It would be better than the hell of 5-6 wins, that is for sure.

7 to 10 years in most cases. They stop hurting your scores the most within a few years. The important things is to get good items on there and push the bad items down the list.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 05:09 PM) I'm looking for a new job next month. Actually looking to move as well. Feel like I need new surroundings. Best of luck to you man. That is A LOT of change all at once.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 12, 2015 -> 08:51 AM) ARM's arent as bad as people make them out to be. It's not a bad option and then you can re-fi in the future. They are great in a low interest environment. You don't want one if rates are going up.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 09:19 PM) I found a place I really like but of course I'm running into obstacles. The building has an investor that owns 17% of the units, making it harder to get loan. Now, my loan specialist says she has a lender who allows that to be up to 20%, but they only offer ARM loans. So now I would have to look at those loans (which I don't think are that smart with rates so low right now) and I'm also worried any future buyer would run into the same issue where loans would be hard to get because of that. Now I have to weigh the risk of it being harder to sell with that, combined with an ARM loan, with it really being the only option that I really like at this point. I would be careful about an ARM. You are at the mercy of the market when those reset. Also if one guy owns that much of the building, he also is going to control the condo board within the building. I am on a Planning board in my hometown and have been part of a situation where a guy controlled the homeowners association and he pretty much ran it into bankruptcy with no one able to stop him. That would be a red flag for me. Between the ARM and having one guy own that much of the building, I would consider walking away.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 12, 2015 -> 09:28 AM) Is there some really pressing issue going on that should prevent us during spring training to focus on our lottery ticket players getting a puff piece? I enjoyed article. I can say without a doubt this guy is going to win at least 12 cy youngs and probably run a successful line of work out videos. So true.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 12, 2015 -> 09:20 AM) I don't recall Felipe Paulino looking particularly good in ST last year. Gordon Beckham this spring...

QUOTE (LDF @ Mar 12, 2015 -> 09:11 AM) and i understand the frustration, but we the fans do not know the whole story there. The whole story is that Doug will get minutes when he is ready to be a guy who can contribute. A short spurt doesn't mean anything honestly.

The arm isn't the question for Ynoa, it is keeping his arm attached to his body that is the problem.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 12:36 PM) Woo hoo, got a call about an hour later with our reasonable counter offer. we accepted. Awesome dude. Great ready to sign your life away.

This is almost as good as coming across the conference call phone number back in the day.

Yeah unfortunately, there isn't a lot that can be done without making some waves. I'd be looking to leave that place ASAP.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 12:59 PM) Yea lesson learned there, my agent recommended someone more local, way easier to work with thus far. Hopefully the rates/costs are fair. Most local loans get sold off quickly to the big banks anyway. Better to work with the local people who can give you real answers.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 15m15 minutes ago #Yankees starter Chris Capuano leaves game after 7 pitches with apparent lower body injury, sustained while covering first base.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 10, 2015 -> 11:06 PM) The university has gone and expelled them, which seems like pretty clear first amendment violations. Do you have many more 1st amendment protections in college than you do at the HS level?

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 10:41 AM) I still think it's pretty clear Bulls are much better with him. he's one of the few players on offense strong enough to get to the spots he wants. He's just not making good decisions. Unreal the amount of turnovers from our guards this year. Kirk/Brooks/rose, just bad. Bulls really could have used a steady ballhandler presence like Andre Miller was last year for Wiz. No they don't have anyone better than Rose.
