QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) Good for him, hope it's for real. Agreed.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 09:33 AM) I think if you make a pass call there, a fade to chris matthews makes more sense. There's a reason fades are popular goal line calls, they aren't crazy successful but very rarely do they get a turnover. But a slant over the middle when it's so crowded just is that dangerous. That is just it. A slant doesn't work when the line is jammed with defenders. It works when the defenders are off of the line in coverage.

This was by far the worst group of super bowl commercials I can remember. Even besides the dead kid, so many of the commercials were just sad and depressing. Most of the ones that were supposed to be funny, weren't. The two that stand out the next day are the snickers commerical with Steve Bushcemi and the Liam Nieson one. Everything else was blah.

We had about a foot, but then it started blowing last night so it is hard to tell. SOmething between 15 to 18 inches seems about right.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 08:32 AM) Right. By that logic, we should try to pull Frank Thomas and Jim Thome out of retirement, because they were both REAL good for us. We should get our manager to write himself in at 3B.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 09:51 AM) I agree with Roost but it's water under the bridge. Anyway, Samardzija will be, at best, the third to best starter on the FA market next year; and maybe the 5th to best. What does that do to his leverage? Shields would be the 3rd best free agent pitcher this year, and he is looking something in the area code of nine figures. I think Jeff's leverage will be just fine.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Feb 1, 2015 -> 09:32 AM) Hey there, I was hoping that someone could help me out with this. I previously had an account on Soxtalk (Sayitaintso), but I completely lost my password and I believe that my account was linked to an email that I have not had access to in years (I tried the reset password option multiple times to no avail). I was wondering if there is a way to either link my previous account info to this new account (so that I don't lose the posts/other info that I had on there, I prefer this account name now because everytime I see Harold Baines on the bench it makes me laugh, but that's besides the point), or if there was anyway to recover my old password so I can regain access to it. Thanks! Steve There is no way to merge the two accounts. What I can do is this... I can reset your password on the old account and message it to this account. Log in with the old account and let me know you are in. Then I will change the screen name on the old account to this one.

I think we are in the 6 to 8 inch range so far, and still falling heavy.

Stupid snow.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 31, 2015 -> 04:29 PM) This isn't the problem. The problem is there's people who believe medical science is actually some conspiracy theory that will hurt their kids, when in reality, it does not and it's supposed to stop the spread of highly contagious diseases. It's one of the easiest diseases to prevent, yet there's crazy people who would rather have their kids live through it. Which is a really common belief in many African and Islamic states and cultures.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 31, 2015 -> 11:38 AM) The little I've hear of Kap on radio, he tries to hard to be funny or sound young and hip. Doesn't seem natural to me. That's because he has no substance. It is all show. Even a guy like Mariotti knew what he was talking about in order to push buttons. I don't think Kaplan even does that much.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 31, 2015 -> 12:18 PM) NCAA basketball and NBA officials are the worst referees out of any sport. It's unreal. take in some high school basketball...

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 31, 2015 -> 10:12 AM) Um no. His defense the past 2 weeks has actually been very good. But the rest of his game is awful to watch. It's like watching a blind artist trying to paint a picture or in basketball terms, watching Javale McGee trying to play point guard. He is the opposite of being cerebral. There are only 2 things he is zoned in on, getting to the basket and throwing up wild acrobatic shots (refs arent doing with favor with the whistle) or keep chucking up ill-formed three point shots without regards to human life. His mid range game is gone, which is sad since he's still a good mid range shooter. The part that annoys me the most is whenever he gets in the painted area, he's always looking to score instead of dishing it off for easy baskets or dribble around the paint to break down the defense. When he does look to dish it off he, without failure, always throws these erratic jump passes that more often that not leads to turnovers. I think his basketball acumen this season has gotta to be the worst I've seen from a point guard ever since I started watching basketball. I don't understand why they don't run the Rose and Gasol pick and pop play more often. That to me is the most effective play for this team. That was the first thing I thought of when we signed him. What a pick and roll combo.

Oh you are all so out of order.

David Kaplan has no opinion of his own. He is just another who takes the opinion that will generate the most calls. He is an idiot.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 30, 2015 -> 05:44 PM) Stan, I think this is where these minor league rankings become a bit overrated. Guys who are very good prospects like Tyler Danish tend to fall by the wayside because of preconceived biases. At the same time, these scouts have also been around a long time and can see weaknesses in motions and deliveries and have reasons for their beliefs. When a guy is 20 years old and we are viewing him as a guy who certainly should be a good reliever at the MLB level, you have a good prospect. If he ultimately ends up as a reliever, that's OK. In the mean time, he will continue starting. If he can ultimately be a #3 starter at the MLB level, you have yourself a damn fine pitcher. There are many cases in baseball where something odds as a pitcher is what makes you good. Take a Jake Peavy for example.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 30, 2015 -> 01:10 PM) I try not to make whether the players are motivated against bad teams a top criteria for evaluating a coach. There's only so much the guy can do and he might sacrifice whatever other positive influence he can have by going too hard after the small stuff Having been around a lot of basketball teams over a lot of years, this usually tells me if a team is coach motivated or not. If they only get it up for big games, it is a big red flag for me. It usually means they are tuning out the coach.
