So shields is starting the home opener...Danks two years ago was horrific.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 05:36 PM) But Saladino and Anderson "advance the runner?" Yes, Anderson is a career 7-9 hitter and Saladino is terrible.

It's all bulls*** and tanking means dick as long as guys want the easy path a title and form the super team. If teams are not giving away high picks then basketball hell will change over time.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 10:50 AM) Code: starkisback You get 40 % off a one-year subscription. You'll probably get your money worth after one week. Ya I have heard great stuff and will probably jump into this.

He's a late first round talent. If he puts it out there that he is a hard sign he would easily make it to the second round. I'm sure the White Sox would then sign him for slot money there.

He Micker and Robert seem to be injured often.

While we were away the Loop went out of business. That was a tad depressing as the Loop was awesome back in the day.

Felt as if baseball did not exist the past month. Thanks for all your efforts

I can't figure out education in Illinois. Pensions in and around Chicago are insane. I am not certain about the rest of the state You have administrators sitting at home at 60 bringing in $200K annually. The unions I despise are the white collar/office worker unions. I understand that iron workers/construction etc need unions to survive but I ma not certain why the 65 year old woman sleeping at he DMV needs a union and is guaranteed a pension. I had a relative that worked a bulls*** desk job for the county for 8 years and retired at 65 with 60% of his pension.

I just bought tickets and never entered a code. Seats all suck though

Every non-playoff team should have an equal shot at any draft pick in the lottery. Not really complex.

The worst of the government bodies is the county. I don't like Rahm but there seems to be a good amount of improvement in Chicago thus I can stomach the taxes. Madigan, Ed Burke and the Dalys are the root of all the issues that there are with Chicago/Cook/Illinois as the machine (unions) run everything.

Gotta think now he will never be healthy.

Mens curling v Canada to start the day was a very cool wake up call.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 08:34 AM) Normally, I would agree, but they are on coach #3 after Lovie, who got fired after 10-6, and they haven't been over .500 since. And only .500 once. 4 straight seasons of double digit losses. If Trubisky doesn't step up and look like a franchise QB next year, and the Bears go 6-10 or 5-11, or 7-9, or even 8-8, I believe there is going to be a lot of push back. The NFL doesn't usually have 4 or 5 year rebuilds. Too much turnover with age, money and injury. They need to be 8-8 or the organization will have proven again that it is not improving. I believe that the Bears are leaving their GM to have too much responsibility and they are not prepared for this role in the current NFL. The team president should be a football guy not Ted Phillips. Ryan Pace is in charge of every football decision.

Bulls need to sit all three for the rest of the year.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 13, 2018 -> 09:14 AM) Yeah our only one that we have to fallback on currently is Sale. Not sure that makes it our "bread and butter" at the moment. Quintana seemed to be developed rather nicely

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Feb 9, 2018 -> 06:38 AM) The NFL forgets quickly if you have talent. I hate the guy and never want him near the Bears but in a couple years if he's not with the Pats someone will give him a job. I mean even Aaron Kromer has a job after punching a kid and he has way less talent than McDaniels. He'll always have a job but head coach may be tough. Denver and Tennessee were not great and now the colts gig....lot of smoke there

The time difference is actually so off it works.....kind of. Watched mixed doubles curling last night.....live at 11pm....USA s*** the bed.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 10:05 AM) I think you're seriously underestimating McDaniels here. Tribune had a nice story of the Nagy, Pace, Ballard and McDaniels timelines and hiring. Gave praise to Phillips and McCaskey being involved in process wheich led to the quick higher. I know it's hindsigt but it seemed Pace felt McDaniels was not certain of leaving the Patriots.

QUOTE (SmashROT @ Feb 7, 2018 -> 06:11 PM) WGN seems like it's made a big push towards sports lately anyways. I'm sure we'll get plenty of Sox talk during non-game hours in the summer. WGN TV is almost 100% news content. They no longer carry the WB programming. I wonder if they are moving toward a more predominant news/sports network.

I know this was in the the 2017 thread but I like that Brad Childress has an office in Halas Hall.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 5, 2018 -> 09:24 AM) JT has a good backlog, which made it seem okay, but the way they cut up those songs was terrible, so much pumped through each song you couldn't make out what the hell was happening. That's what I thought. The people I was with thought it was good but I just assumed I was out of touch. Seemed like the songs were chaotically thrown together. The game was great. Brady Is the GOAT. After Seattle and Atlanta melting away against he Patriots , I liked that the Eagles won. Has there been any explanation as to why Butler was benched?
