And if they barely were in the red for 2013 after that dismal performance, you can bet 2014 was a profitable year. I didn't spend much time looking for the figures, but I'm sure they're out there. And like the article points out, that $2.7M loss in 2013 doesn't factor in money that was made from JR owning 40% of CSN Chicago. Please stop with the "the team doesn't have any more money" crap. Pro teams have as much money as the owner is willing to spend. See: Miami Marlins. For years their owner has been a cheapskate, only to get a bug up his ass a handful of years and spend like a wild man. Being in the 3rd largest market in the country, just the TV revenues alone are huge. Add in merchandising, attendance, and you've got a profitable situation. If JR really wants to get another WS and put even more asses in the seats at the Cell (oh yeah, more money for JR, when he sold naming rights to US Cellular), he'll go out and add a stud like Scherzer. Who knows how he'll be pitching in 2 years, let alone 6. But you have to take risks if you want to be perennial contenders in today's sports world. Finance 101 alert: Net worth is not equal to "money". JR's weath is largely made up of illiquid assets, not cash. If you have a million dollar house, it doesn't mean you have a million dollars to spend. The same applies here.

With the Bonifacio signing, how long into the presser until Bruce Levine asks him a Cubs related question?

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 2m2 minutes ago Detroit Pistons are 5-0 since releasing Josh Smith (their longest win streak since winning 5 in a row in December 2009)

We have noticed a whole lot of new posters coming into Soxtalk lately, and the Staff here wanted to take a few seconds to say hello and welcome to everyone who has jumped into the fray over the last few months. Soxtalk is a pretty established community founded over 10 years ago. In general it is a pretty relaxed page, the big rule is a ban on personal attacks. Other than that, just about any topic is fair game, within reason. Out of Soxtalk came it's sister site FutureSox, which is the best look on the planet for all things White Sox minor leagues. Both sites have facebook and twitter pages. Soxtalk is @SoxNet on twitter and found at here on facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/27284358753/ FutureSox is @FutureSox on twitter and https://www.facebook.com/pages/FutureSoxcom/620988761259970 on facebook. Now back to the new posters... Out of curiosity, how did you find Soxtalk, and what made you decide to register and/or start posting finally?

Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane 21m21 minutes ago White Sox hold hitters minicamp this week. Tim Anderson, Keon Barnum, Matt Davidson, Adam Eaton, Courtney Hawkins, Micah Johnson are there.

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 6m6 minutes ago The Phillies announced they have signed Aaron Harang to a one-year, $5 million deal.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 05:45 AM) Not really sure how that Richards goal made it in, but I'll take it. Didn't quite squeeze it under the arm pit.

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 4m4 minutes ago Jimmy Butler is back. He'll play tonight.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 11:03 AM) Ugh, i just checked and it is a 8 episode series, not a self contained mini series. I also am not too confident that they can keep it up. Limited to 8 episodes they should be able to do OK. I got a kick out of John Stamos being a bit part on it.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 10:39 AM) It was bad officiating, but I don't think it was any conspiracy to throw the game or anything like that. All sports suffer from poor officiating. NFL probably more than the others, but it is also the fastest moving with the most players on the field at one time. The NFL is turning into a clown car show. I think NHL officials have it way harder than any other sport. While the NFL has more players, they also have the biggest crew of officials, each with a very specific set of jobs.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 10:42 AM) Isnt it just a miniseries? Is it? I didn't know.

Anyone else check out Galavant? I had some laughs, I am not sure how they will keep up the schtick though.

The NFL is slowly morphing into the WWF.

It is possible he is better this year. Don't forget he has a really nice close to the season after making some mechanical adjustments in Sept. That said, I wouldn't bet on it.

Jim Bowden ‏@JimBowden_ESPN 2h2 hours ago If @Ken_Rosenthal report is true that Shields has 5yrs $110m on the table from someone..then he should take it before they change their mind

esse Sanchez ‏@JesseSanchezMLB 1h1 hour ago Teenager Vlad Guerrero Jr. won't be able to sign until July 2 but sources say Angels, Mets & Blue Jays have already shown serious interest.

Great stuff, as usual.

With the off-season Hahn has had, I feel like the State farm commercial where i should yell out some other wish really quickly to see if it happens CANIGETAHOTTUB?

So I am rooting for a meteorite strike in the NFC game.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 09:12 AM) Oh come on, I'm a White Sox fan, why would I expect them to actually live up to expectations? Oh I am talking about the blame part, not the failure part.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 08:22 AM) Well if the Sox suck next year, nobody here better blame Rick Hahn, because he is doing everything Soxtalk has demanded. I think Bonifacio gets overrated because of a couple hot streaks (mostly fantasy baseball fans), but he's still better than a lot of the bench pieces the Sox have recently had. Oh ye of little faith.

Down a goal 4 times? No problem.

Packers next, ugh.

Now we are on to something.
