QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Feb 18, 2015 -> 11:31 AM) IIRC, there were a few people on here that are fans of Stephen King's book 11/22/63. It was announced last year that it will be a 9-hour mini-series on HULU. James Franco was just announced as the lead character. Not a horrible choice but certainly not who I pictured in my mind either. I'm looking forward to this as it's one of my favorite SK books and I'm really hoping it doesn't turn into what Under the Dome became. http://www.people.com/article/james-franco...63-stephen-king Interesting. I wonder how it will turnout. That was the best King book I have read since the Stand.

Last I remember hearing, everyone thought he was already locked up... maybe by Toronto? Has that changed?

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Feb 18, 2015 -> 11:34 AM) I’ve always assumed the Malibu and the Impala were about the same size. If you want smaller, go for the Cruze. I test drove a Cruze but thought it was too small. Impala is a step up, both in size and engine. When I bought it, I wanted space. Now that it is the second car, I want something smaller I can get better mileage on.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 18, 2015 -> 12:22 PM) I think Samardzija is more valuable than Upton too, plus the Sox got Michael Ynoa. Generally, I think we underrate Josh Phegley and the thought around the industry may be that his ultimate ceiling is that of an averagish catcher in the majors, while Semien's upside is that of an above average player. Phegley has a really long swing. If someone could shorten it, he could be a major league catcher... well as a hitter. Defensively? Ugh.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 06:18 PM) No way. He's either as good or better than MVP Rose. He's putting up the same or better numbers across the board in about 5 minutes less per game. Westbrook is currently 2nd in the league in PER. Rose was 9th in '11. Westbrook also has Kevin Durant. Who was the second best player on that Bulls team during Rose's MVP year?

I know you aren't talking to me like that.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 04:54 PM) I'm guessing this means Vlad Jr. worked out for teams today, including the Sox. https://twitter.com/BBDominicano/status/567818946449010688 Google translate offers this. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. today Tryout of #WhiteSox with #Licey hat.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 18, 2015 -> 09:50 AM) Which choices? It's hard to come to a place, say "he makes bad choices," not give examples, and be taken seriously. Because, really, when given the choice between chickens*** and pigs*** to put into a late game situation, those decisions are going to end up looking baffling more often than not. This is the best ever summary I have seen for the 2014 White Sox bullpen.

I have an 11 year old Impala, and the Malibu is on my list as I want to go to a smaller car when I get my next one.

God hates Detroit.

Damn it

But Zimbabwe's money is worthless.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 18, 2015 -> 06:39 AM) I'm surprised the Melky Cabrera deal has gotten no love. IMO, it's one of the few non-Cuban deals that is likely to provide surplus value over the life of the contract. Plus by all accounts he's a great clubhouse guy. I personally think it was a better signing than the LaRoche deal, which seems to be getting a lot of praise. Cabrera's past hangs over him, and rightfully so. If he didn't have that history, he would have gotten a deal similar to Panda this year, maybe more.

QUOTE (daggins @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 07:40 PM) Not only that but the pitch Trout hit out was at his ankles. Maybe 3 guys in baseball can hit that pitch. It was just a case where a great hitter won. And one of them plays 1B for us.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) One thing he did poorly was deciding when to pull starters. One example would be the game against the Angels where Sale had thrown a lot of pitches and was dominant, then had a bad inning. But Robin decides to send him back out and he ends up giving up a grand slam to Trout that nightmare inning. With the pen he had last year, I can hardly fault him for wanting to use Chris Sale in that situation.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 03:13 PM) And no chance to pitch against us. BOOM

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 03:11 PM) I love the Farmer and DJ pairing. It has nothing to do with baseball but they're so damn weird and awkward that they make me laugh when I listen to them. But like others have said, I guess that'd probably change if I listened to them a lot. I have MLB audio so I can listen to day games at work, and so I can listen if I am not home. There is definitely a diminishing marginal return.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 03:03 PM) Will there be a trophy presentation? Right after the attendance trophy, but before the best prospects trophy.

I am lost, what is Intentional Talk?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 02:43 PM) Essentials, or something such as this. Calling it light, or lite sends the message it's stripped down garbage. Instead, send the message that it's simply what they need, without the fancy bells and whistles (without actually saying that). People never like being told, well...we understand you cannot afford this Rolex, but this Casio is JUST as good (when they KNOW it's not). Full disclosure, our software is really damned expensive. We do have price sensitive firms who can't afford it, but it the best stuff on the street. This idea has come out of losing those firms as sales. They pitched it as Lite, but I really hated that name. I do like Essentials as well as express.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 02:33 PM) We looked at the new one because it was a redesign and it was quieter etc, but at the end of the day the most important part (drivetrain) just doesnt add up. If I had it to do all over again, I would either buy something with a 3rd row, or another car.
