The most surprising numbers? 52% of the site is 30 or older.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 28, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) Is this 2014 updated? Feb 28, 2015 is a Saturday.

Has a date been set for when single game tickets go on sale yet?

I didn't think anything could ever make me want to watch Ryan Secrest for New Years Eve, but then Fox went and gave Pitbull a NYE show.

The NBA has an absolute right to set any employment requirements that they want to set.

QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Dec 28, 2014 -> 04:30 AM) My introduction to this fine forum was not very pleasant . But now that we know each other, I'm looking forward to a very good 2015 season. With the additions made so far, I hope we're not done, there's no reason the Sox can't manage the front page all year. thanks, douglas Hint for fitting in. Don't call everyone too young to understand what you are talking about. A good chunk of this page is populated by professionals who in addition to having a firm grasp on baseball, also have families of their own, and understand the dynamics of dealing with people and bosses. In otherwords, just because people don't agree with you, doesn't make them stupid. That isn't exactly a pleasant way to introduce yourself to an established group. The vast majority of us have been here for years, and many know each other in real life. Either way, no one is going to take kindly to being talked down to by a guy walking into our house for the first time.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 28, 2014 -> 06:02 AM) Saying that I am wrong is a stupid thing to say, I just diagree with you. If you're confident in your system and your player development process then you shoul feel confident in your team's ability to develop those picks into solid players. The more draft picks you have, the greater influx of talent that enters the system, the more players you develop into major league caliber players and more you don't have to go out and sign players to big contacts and the flexibility you have as an organization. Look at the Cardinals. The odds are incredibly high that Melky Cabrera and David Robertson are far greater talents than anyone the White Sox would draft, and we don't have to wait for the better part of a decade to see if I am right.

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 28, 2014 -> 09:21 AM) Interesting. I'm going to think about this a bit but my first reaction is the pitcher has time to physically warm up, are you suggesting that is not sufficient time to also mentally warm up? I'm all about putting people in positions to be successful. Perhaps this is one of those traits that great bull pen guys have that mediocre ones do not, the ability to mentally be ready in four or five minutes. Another top of the head thought, in baseball the situation changes with each batter, with each pitch. If you are in the pen warming up because it is the eight inning and that is your role, in a matter of three pitches the situation could change from no one on base to bases loaded in a blink of an eye. I believe I agree that the best possible scenario is a guy having maximum time to prepare for the situation, I just don't think that really can happen much in the real world. If I took you and shoved you into a classroom of Kindergarteners, how much notice would you need to be fully effective? Afterall, it is just teaching kids, right?

Crawford still looking pretty shaky, though it isn't like his D is helping him out at all. Colorado could easily have four goals right now

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 07:36 PM) Got into a serious car accident last night.. like lucky to be alive type. The guy who hit me pulled a Hit and run. Luckily the police caught him about 4 blocks away. My friend had to get about 60 stitches on his head. Glad to hear you are OK!

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 07:41 PM) On the other hand, I moved a couple hundred miles north to south Texas (figure that one out). Now I get to experience the occasional freezing temps and perhaps some snow. Something that was a once in a couple decades occurrence on the border.

When was the last team a screamer of a manager won a World Series? 2005?

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 08:12 PM) Safe to say Mirotic hasn't experienced anything like Davis in Europe Neither have many in America.

QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 02:08 PM) MM and RM both had crew cuts, smoked cigs, didn't have tattoos and they both hit a lot of home runs. You don't have to look like a freak or a clown to perform and respect the game. Yeah, gimme the 50s back anytime. Today's managers are puppets, there's a few with a backbone. thanks, douglas All this is missing is GET OFF MY LAWN!

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 11:41 AM) Re: Thunder It sucks that Perkins is making so much because with him out there it is 5 on 4. Saw McGary is dominating D League, which I guess should be taken with a grain of salt. His whole problem isn't talent, it is staying healthy.,

Nice topic, seeing as it was 50 degrees today

Let's talk about something different.

Hahhahahahahah

QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 04:54 AM) [quote name='Dick Allen' date='Dec 26, 2014 -> The era of the yeller and screamers and guys the White Sox that would scream and yell, yelled, yelling will make them better, ways to hold players "accountable" you guys prolly don't spank your kids either. Most of these modern players are big spoiled crybabies and so rich they could care less. If I was manager, no facial hair, no jewelry, butch crew hair cut and if they don't like it they don't play. thanks, douglas The 50's called, and they want their stereotypes back.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 26, 2014 -> 12:56 PM) How is it Piazza doesn't get caught into the steroid backlash? His back was loaded with zits. I don't get how Sosa does, and Piazza doesn't. Both have as much evidence of steroid use as the other.
