Our best chances for a near downtown park on just south of McCormick place with all of the land the City got for the Olympics. I don't think there is enough anywhere else that wouldn't be a huge pain (ie expense) to use.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 11:38 AM) I was thinking like from Van Buren and south to Polk. Would require some major infrastructure redoing (as would any move). But right off expressway, rock island, and all loop ctas. Probably not feasible just throwing stuff out there to get as close to downtown as possible. Sears Tower overlooking center field would be badass. If they could figure out a way to take out the old post office, but leave that footprint, that might work.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 11:19 AM) Paul Konerko would have jogged to first base. It would have looked like jogging, but really he was running full speed.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 10:59 AM) yeah Galaxy is what im leaning towards unless apple blows me away. I have had it for a couple of months now, if you want to know anything about it, just ask.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 11:14 AM) Off of Wells and Harrison? Just south of the Congress Expr? I don't think there would nearly enough land there.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 11:08 AM) Is there any land left in the South Loop area that could be used for a new stadium? They have a whole s***load of land they got for the Olympics.

If true, much different than steroid use. Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 26m Chris Davis said he had exemption in past to use Adderall but not this year where he failed two drug tests for amphetamines

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 10:54 AM) So a 2 part question and would love to get folks thoughts on this. Will US Cellular undergo a name change? If so, when? I know that you can no longer acquire US Cellular products in Chicagoland, which makes the naming rights silly. Believe it or not, US Cellular is the 9th oldest stadium in all of baseball. Hard to believe its been 23 years all ready. How long do you think this stadium lasts before they knock it down/rebuild. Yes you have Wrigley and Fenway from the early 1910's, but after that the next oldest is Dodgers Stadium from 1962. Does US Cellular last another 30 years... 10 years?? The naming deal runs through 2023.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 10:54 AM) HAHA nice, only other thing I dont like about apple is lack of microsd. Also still on the GalaxyS5.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 10:10 AM) I have to think jumping and falling to your death (and hopefully passing out before doing so) is better than burning alive. But what a terrible choice to make. Watching shows about 9/11 I have caught myself contemplating that exact decision and always come back to the same thing. I have no idea how I would react, and hope to never have to do it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 10:45 AM) To be honest, I just prefer getting one of the main phones because that way I know there will cases, apps, etc that will work for it. Sometimes its just easier to buy mainstream and honestly, I dont really care that much. Right now Im mainly thinking samsung because I have a lot of googlemusic (none through itunes) and Im so lazy I dont want to even look up whether google music works on apple. Thats how lazy Ive become towards technology. The GalaxyS5 really is a good phone. I have it and like it.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 10:43 AM) Yeah, we don't have near enough of a precedent to have an informed opinion. Just gotta trust the org scouts on this one. Absolutely. I've never seen the kid and have no idea how accurate that stuff is. Just reading that blurp from earlier made me think of Dayan.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 10:11 AM) Seems like something you should wait on official word for MLB PR just tweeted it as well.

MLB Stat of the Day ‏@MLBStatoftheDay 34m Marcus Semien is the first @WhiteSox No. 9 hitter to homer in a 1-0 win since pitcher Early Wynn on May 1, 1959.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 09:55 AM) Except the fact that Tomas is 5 years older than Viciedo was and he's also 6'4 240 pounds. 70 power Not an "advanced" hit tool Strong arm Questions about his glove High risk, high reward

Dan Connolly ‏@danconnollysun 4m Waiting on official word but hearing Chris Davis has tested pos for amphetamines. 25 game suspension

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 09:48 AM) I would expect that the White Sox would be in on Yasmani Tomas. If they did land him, they would need to find LHH from somewhere else though. LH catcher, LH DH, and hopefully Micah Johnson at 2B eventually balances out the lineup. I hope that they are in on Kenta Maeda and I wouldn't rule out a guy like Brandon McCarthy or Justin Masterson. Reading the description of Tomas it sounded like Dayan Viciedo.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 12:17 AM) https://twitter.com/JoeFrisaro/status/510292539190943744 Just terrible. I guess it's a good thing that it wasn't in the eye, and the season is almost over. Hopefully he makes a full recovery and is ready to go in February. Get well soon Stanton. The other thing this does is potentially screw up the Marlins off-season. This is probably they year they have to trade Stanton, and now no one knows how he will come back from this. Could it affect his mind at the plate? For $200+ million, and a small country worth of baseball players, as small as the chance is, teams will want to know before taking a chance like that.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 08:38 AM) On a hypothetical basis, the PEDs prevent injuries to pitchers, especially TJ. The UCL gets stretched or sprained when the flexor muscles no longer give enough support. The PEDs will allow this group of muscles a longer period of support thus decreasing the opportunity for injury. Pitchers used the PEDs not so much for increased power but for increased endurance and shorter recovery time. Maybe this is aprt of the reason for the increase in TJ surgeries? I doubt it is a significant factor as I still think it's more the over throwing. However it's something to consider. That is a really interested thing I had never thought of before. Thanks!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 11:44 PM) Well there were two major players the Sox were in on until the end this offseason. Do either look like a bust? Did you ever get a solid work on what the Sox offered Tanaka?
