He's going to tough it out.

Alexei is in a LOT of pain.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Bellasario DFA'd here in the next couple of weeks once the Sox start needing 40 man roster spots.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 3m Coop said he got a lot of letters and calls from fans who had dealt with vertigo and appreciated the concern

Scot Gregor ‏@scotgregor 4m Ventura says Avi Garcia could be back with #WhiteSox at some point on this homestand

FutureSox.com ‏@FutureSox 48m Roster moves: SS Tim Anderson starts rehab assignment with AZL White Sox. RHP Nick Blount promoted to @WSDashBaseball from AZL.

Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc 17m #Blackhawks officially announce they could not come to a contract agreement with Kevin Hayes. Forward will be unrestricted free agent. Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc 16m As compensation for not signing Kevin Hayes, #Blackhawks will receive a second-round pick (54th overall) in the 2015 NHL Draft.

Freep Tigers ‏@freeptigers 4m Based on Ausmus press conf today, sounds like Verlander will return next Sat in Minn or have to go on DL.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 02:19 PM) They unquestionably do. Finding documented cases of unprovoked police brutality is incredibly easy. Sometimes, or at least they shoot for really terrible and completely unjustifiable reasons. Again, pretty easy to find plenty of documented cases. this is a dumb conclusion that nobody has suggested, but I guess that's the best you can offer. This entire thread is going in circles of outrage over an untrue stereotype. It is like listening to right wing talk radio talk about Obama.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 02:14 PM) That's terrible if true. But I have a difficult time believing cops would just randomly start beating someone. I'd be willing to bet he resisted, hence the need for more than one officer. I wish some of you guys interned or job shadowed at a criminal courthouse. You're all wide-eyed optimists, and the degree to which people lie is astounding and would shock you. I'm not at all saying that's what happened in this case or the Brown case, but you all seem to discount the possibility. But that is what cops do according to this thread. They just shoot people for no reason, so you should probably hate them all.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 01:09 PM) the way to stop police brutality is for communities who are routinely brutalized by the police to pretend that nothing's wrong Which is exactly what we are being asked to do for part of the story. Ironic isn't it?

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 12:49 PM) Yes, people were outraged, not because in the middle of the day people saw a police officer shoot a kid dead with his hands raised, it was because of people "preaching police hate" for no reason! What are the chances that the reason the kid was running/fighting the police was because of a lifetime of conditioning about how evil police are? There is a pretty good chance that if the kid hadn't been brainwashed, he would still be alive.

It is coming up on September 1st quickly. Anyone want to venture to guess who will be on the roster from the minors on Sept 1. Keep in the back of your mind that anyone who isn't on the 40 man roster, would need someone released or DFA's to make room for them, and that is with one such moving coming soon for Avi Garcia.

Leave him down. It isn't worth wasting a year of service to have him pitch on this team. If you want him to get more innings, send him to AFL or the winter leagues.

Someone slowed down and zoomed in on the race footage, and claims that Ward actually grabbed the wing of Stewart' car. Again, I can't tell what the heck is going on from the grainy video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAe9-JVCmek...eature=youtu.be

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 11:44 AM) Still hope Chris Williams is that guy. Dude is Jimmy Johns fast.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) Well, unfortunately, police brutality in communities has real world consequences, and those consequences were not reaped from those asking to end it. It's from those who perform it, and from those who do not punish it. Most politicians are not corrupt, but it doesn't mean that a minority of them engaging in corruption is not an issue. It is, and it erodes public trust. That isn't the media/or watchdogs fault. It is the fault of the politicians if they do not try to self regulate. So does preaching hate for the police. You are pretty well seeing the results of it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 11:22 AM) Sorry, but your efforts to try and equate "black people" with the "race" of police officers will not be entertained. Much like a bad customer service rep can do more negative harm to a company than 100 good cs reps, such is life for police. "Well, you can't paint all of comcast customer service in a bad light!" It doesn't work like that. It works exactly like that, and it creates situations exactly like this. Hate and fear is a two way street, and has real world consequences. You can't stoke hate and fear on one sides, and not expect it to have results and externalities.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 10:51 AM) Do you think they are raised to hate the police because of no reason, or for example, they grew up in the neighborhoods where policed tortured suspects to gain false confessions. There is a strong sentiment in this forum that police officers can be terrible at their jobs and terrorize people because they put their life at risk. I disagree. So the idea is that it is OK for the stereotype of an entire group to take place because of the actions of a few in this situation?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 10:51 AM) This has been verified by science. And mythology... at the same time.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 14, 2014 -> 10:28 PM) Buddy Bell thinks Jared Mitchell is the next Rickey Henderson, Keenyn Walker is Kenny Lofton and Erik Johnson is Mike Mussina. Most teams try to talk about how bad their prospects are on a regular basis...

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 09:36 AM) Hahn must be holding out for something other than pure garbage, because Dunn is a guy that should be extremely tradable if we eat enough money. The DH issue really holds back his value though. Maybe Hahn thinks a team could get desperate by the August 31st waiver deadline and give up a lottery ticket for Dunn. I'm ok waiting on that, but I still can't comprehend why Beckham remains on the team. If someone had offered any value at all for Adam Dunn, he'd be gone already.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 14, 2014 -> 04:44 PM) It's because they don't serve any purpose for us, since our window is a year or more into the future. They could certainly serve a purpose for a team this year. Yet there has been zero interest in this group of players.

So how long until we get the first post about sending Garcia to AAA, and how they would rather have Jake Peavy back?
