I was googling JR and Sterling to see if JR had commented and came across an article written by the one and only Jay Marriotti who now has his own site. He mentioned that Sterling and JR once socialized at a Super Bowl. So I looked at his site even further, reading his welcome letter. He has not let anything go. He's a total victim who know supposedly is living large in LA. Wronged by so many, but time has shown him to be visionary. It actually was comical.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 01:20 PM) And now, the legal fun begins According to Lester Munson, Sterling doesn't have a leg to stand on. If he wants to take the NBA to court, it's almost guaranteed his suit would be immediately dismissed.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 01:12 PM) I understand that, but I mean, he never made these comments publicly. The guy could be the biggest asshole ever, and appears to be up there, but I just have a hard time accepting the validity of this sort of punishment for something that was said in the privacy of his own home with only him and his significant other in the room. He should absolutely be strong armed out of the league, there is no question about that, but it's quite unfair to have private words used against you because someone secretly recorded and then released the conversation He's not going to jail or anything like that. And if they make him sell the team, he still gets $1 billion or so.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 01:08 PM) Yea, the guy is a real POS but the legality in all this is very hazy. IMO, he was totally set up, but he's been like this all along and has gotten away with it. Now the bill comes due, as it always does. He's not in a court of law.

QUOTE (johndyce @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:35 AM) Tool? That guy was living as large as living large can get! Big hawks jersey, wife next to him (and not pissed about the yelling), slamming beers, sitting front row behind home plate. We could only hope to live that large some day. Yes. And from now on, I am calling Flowers, Tumbleweeds.

Another flare would work here.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 08:27 PM) Maybe it took time for him to get the feel for it with the cold weather. Good point. It is miserable out there.

Hawk and Stone were wondering why he wasn't throwing any curveballs. Then he does and mowed them down.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 08:10 PM) Eaton's a good baserunner but not a good base stealer. At least this time, the throw to get him was about as perfect as you can get.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:52 PM) You've officially gone off of the rails. Another great post. You have some real good ones.

It is worth a shot.

Flowers with another broken bat hit. He is on a roll with these.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:46 PM) De Aza coming around perhaps? I think he stands too close to the plate. He has been better the last few games.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:45 PM) The words "De Aza" and "big hit" don't go together. You were saying....

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:32 PM) If they can get five innings from Hanson next time around, why not? Unless he says he's not ready--which I would doubt. I don't know if that is a good bet.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) Rienzo is no good. No different than Axelrod. He is better than Axe. But long term he is a reliever.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:26 PM) I thought he still worked with Walker down in Georgia, no? No. But Walker was a groomsman in Beckhams wedding.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:27 PM) I'm a fan of him bringing back something that helps bring us another pennant. Just don't think he'll hit over .240 in the process of doing that. We shall see. You are thrilled each time he makes an out. You aren't fooling anyone.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:24 PM) Let me guess, Beckham JUST missed the concourse on that flyout? Lined out to right center. Must suck being a Sox fan rooting against Sox players.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:24 PM) I see that Beckham has given up on the squat stance he used last season... He was Steversons pet project this past offseason.

Beckham is smoking the ball. Just a matter of time.

Steverson looks like Earl Woods to me.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:19 PM) So Rienzo didn't field it cleanly...then got a second error for the XB, allowing the runner to 2nd? Shades of Clayton Richard there. Might as well bring him back, too. When he was in his 40s and playing with the Yankees, Tommy John once had 3 errors during one play.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:15 PM) I know. I was being facetious. There's so many posters here who adhere to the no bunt policy. These conditions are ideal for bunting. Joe Maddon bunts early like Ozzie. Yanks relief pitchers cruising after 10 pitch innings to insert his closer like dumb Robin, and tinkers with his line up daily like the tinkerer, Jerry Manuel. Yet some think so much of him the want his bench coach to manage the White Sox.
