Pantless selfies, probably not a good idea.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 04:39 PM) Technically, it can hurt. Poorly written, misspellings, etc. I usually tell people they should go short and sweet with it and that has always been my approach. More winded you get, more likely you end up hurting yourself vs. helping yourself. The key is really just to remind thank them for your time, indicate your interest, and try to highlight some confidence regarding why you would be a good fit and that you look forward to hearing back from them, etc (try to make it customized so you highlight something unique you heard from the interviewer, etc, too). Spend time checking grammar, etc. Basically do the opposite of what I do when I post this site (which is just type and hit post without ever going back to rereading). I am okay looking like a fool on her, but not in a professional setting, take your time and make sure you are absolutely comfortable with what your are sending. Yeah, I guess I should have said, assuming you don't sound or look like an idiot doing it.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) Silly question, but could a thank you gesture of any sort make or break an individual getting a position? At the end of the day, it can't hurt, and could really only help.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 1h Tyler Flowers has struck out 5x in last 28 plate appearances, ever since he went from contacts to glasses. #WhiteSox http://bit.ly/1pgCLuX Before last 28 plate appearances, Tyler Flowers had struck out 100 times in 264 PAs. He attributes it to pitch selection.

Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane 6m Zach Putnam said he'd felt some discomfort in his shoulder earlier, was hoping break would clear it up. But was uncomfortable pitching Wed.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 03:33 PM) ... he'd be injured? And/or awful.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 01:31 PM) So is this right: Close benefits because he looks like he really stands up for players against big brother. Aiken loses because now he may never make money. The later pick lost his money and pro contract too? The Astros just look terrible. I feel bad for the kids if they just wanted to play ball for the market price. Close loses because he lost his cut on both Aiken and Nix.

Soon, we are going to find out that 2014 is just one long April fools joke, starting with Avi Garcia's dive in RF.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 01:07 PM) I'll be in Detroit for that series next week! I'm sorry.

Today is the 99th anniversary of the SS Eastland tragedy.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 12:27 PM) I don't know why that matters. I'm disagreeing with the general proposition that quality is ALWAYS better than quantity. 15 crap players for Lebron isn't a good deal, but 3 all-stars for Lebron might be. If you are getting the best player in the NBA, you make that trade every single day. Such is the NBA that you can always fill in around stars. You can't always get stars.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 11:21 AM) Could be great #hugwatch material. Also keep the #charlottewatch on.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 11:59 AM) Nope. Denver won the Melo trade over New York. And especially nope when you're talking about prospects who haven't played a single NBA game yet. So you wouldn't have taken LeBron James in a trade for a star player right after he was drafted?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 11:45 AM) St. Roostifer, you have to understand that if SS2K comes to Dick Allen's side in an argument you are just wrong, plain and simple. Sad, but true. Wait, can I change my opinion instead?

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 11:05 AM) Were also talking about cutting a guy ( Dunn) who isn't producing, hasn't been producing, most fans are not happy with and will likely/ thankfully not be with the Sox next season. The Sox have more to gain by giving Wilkins a look than 2 more months of Dunn. Even of Wilkins shows he's not the real deal at least the Sox will know going into the off season. Who knows, maybe some team like the Pirates come calling looking for a guy like Wilkins and the Sox can grab some kind of young raw pitching talent. I agree its more than likely Wilkins doesn't amount to much in a major league uniform but the Sox stand nothing to lose by cutting their losses with Dunn ( if he isn't traded) and see what Wilkins can do. I am not counting on Wilkins, just willing to give him a shot is all. I am going to stop you in the first sentence. A general manager should never, and I mean never, worry about if the fans are happy with a player or move. 99.9% of fans have no idea what it takes to run a major league franchise. Even the worst GM is light years better than "the fans".
