QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 2, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) Maybe inconclusive so they called him out? Probably. When it takes that long, inconclusive is usually the reason.

This long usually means bad news

Nice move Jose

The Sox are goimg to need a few more. They are hitting the ball hard.

Shuck showing why he lead off.

I love ya Hawk , but it really isn't the umpires' fault.

The Sox have been wearing the black tops a lot.doesn't seem to bring them luck.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 1, 2015 -> 02:23 PM) That would actually be good to know. I guess no media outlet wants to go there. Also, what are the odds of them getting a fair trial? And I am not saying that to side with them. If they are guilty, they deserve prison.

Are the 6 cops charged all white?

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 1, 2015 -> 01:37 PM) Man. 2008 was such a special year. Crazy that he has walked away from it all at 32. He can barely walk, and even if that ever improves, he will just get hurt again. What is weird is I don't think he missed much time, if any, as a result of HBP, something he did more than most.

Guys who are nothing but headaches in college, usually don't get any better in that regard when they have a couple of million to play with.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 1, 2015 -> 01:16 PM) Then you will feel superior so you can judge them, too? In Singapore, they have a normal intl airport and a "budget" one without all the restaurants and frills for those travelling on the equivalent of SW Airlines (Air Asia and similar carriers). Maybe if they call out those fans for being cheap charlies, they will either upgrade or not bother showing up at all for the lowest price possible to hoard all your giveaway items. Yeah, a sense of superiority. I won't take the bait.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 1, 2015 -> 11:54 AM) I cant seem to find this anywhere. The only thing close Ive found is: 6. The lack of trades last night was surprising, given all the talk. Problem was there were more who wanted to move down than up. So that seems to suggest some wanted to move up. The market may not have been amazing, but still I cant imagine that the Chargers wouldnt have been interested in trading up and getting whatever RB they wanted. Now who knows what the value was, but itd be impossible to imagine they wouldnt have offered 1,4,5 for it (which is what they gave San Fran). Pompei was on CSN about an hour before the draft and someone suggested to him the Bears trade down. He said the Bears could be up for it, but no one was looking to trade up to pick 7.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 1, 2015 -> 11:00 AM) Of course. Which is why I consistently said the Bears should trade down and accumulate picks. Dan Pompei said they were getting no offers.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 1, 2015 -> 10:47 AM) The Cavs are going to be fairly thin at the 2 spot and 4 spot for the first two games. They're going to have to play either LeBron or Marion at the 4 when Thompson's not playing. Jimmy and DRose have to be on. Taj has to be better. One problem other than Irving and LeBron, Mosgov is a really bad match up for Pau. I'm hoping the layoff actually hurts the Cavs.

The Sox seem to score 2 runs a game that won't work. The other thing that won't work is the current production of their starting pitching. Sale 5.32 Samardzija 4.78 Q 6.55 Danks 5.64 Noesi 5.23 With the way they catch the ball, it is probably fortunate they are 8-11. If they play this bad and are 8-11, wins should come in bunches when they start to hit and pitch like normal.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 1, 2015 -> 10:41 AM) It's just a matter of logistics. Our policy is "one item per person that comes through the gate," which lets us deny people with extra tickets (much to their dismay), but it's really impossible to stop people from going through different gates or coming up behind workers at other gates and claiming that we were out at whatever gate the person came in before. I imagine the issue is tenfold at Major League games -- you just can't memorize all the faces and, to be honest, if the person is willing to make a fuss about it, it's better for business simply to hand them another item and diffuse the scene. I understand that, but usually they make no effort to hide the giveaways they already have received. Just drop down a bunch of $5 tickets and say fill me up.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 1, 2015 -> 09:40 AM) To be fair to Steve I believe the implication was "top 10" first round draft picks on WRs. There are a lot of teams that didn't win the Super Bowl that drafted lineman in the top 10 as well. The fact that you are choosing in the top 10 usually means the Super Bowl, and winning it, which is another of his criteria, is probably many years away.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 1, 2015 -> 09:24 AM) Serious question for today, does Martellus Bennett get traded today? If so, I think the Bears can net a 3rd for this year and a 5th for next year. I saw something where the guys said maybe a 4th, probably a 5th. Fox said he wouldn't get traded. Who knows. I do think he will cause some trouble eventually.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ May 1, 2015 -> 07:36 AM) So uh... Why? I don't get it either. The promos always say first 20,000 fans or whatever, not first 20,000 tickets scanned. It always irks me to see on a bobblehead day some grown man with a garbage bag filled with 20 of them while kids coming through the gate get none. As long as they are talking loopholes, that's one I wouldn't mind being closed.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 1, 2015 -> 08:27 AM) I wonder how far Gregory drops. His mental profile must really be scary, because he is a first round talent He was on Polian's do not draft list. He mentioned he had off the field issues, and then quietly said that's not all.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 09:50 PM) You're cute Roster meant nothing when evaluating Robin in 2013 and 2014. It was the team's record was all that mattered. Why should this be different?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 09:46 PM) Please find one baseball writer in the whole world who didn't pick Texas last, por favor. If its 2017 and they're still struggling, he can join Ventura on the hot seat. The same thing could have been said about previous Sox teams, but that didn't matter. Sorry 7-14 is bum material. Should have hired Gardy they would be 15-6.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 09:41 PM) Or just try flipping Choo and Nelson Cruz. Andrus has been awful. Beltre...not sure whats up with him, but they are getting production out of Fielder. Im sure DA cant list a single member of their starting rotation who is healthy without looking it up. Profar is out as well. Darvish, of course, the biggest loss...their Chris Sale. Daniels should be fired first. You have never used the DL when discussing the White Sox record. 7-14, $132 million payroll, nad. sale has been on the DlL the last 2 years. Abreu was obpn. Paulie was on in 2012 when Youkilis could hardly walk. Those were no excuses. It was all about wins and payroll.

Even if Sale was on tonight, the Sox have 2 runs. The offense needs to get goimg.
