Automobile Thread
I use google maps especially for rush hour traffic as it is pretty precise on ETA. The side street directions make it interesting at times. Choosing local or express lanes on the Ryan is awesome. Waze is better for the police notifications and things like that. Both are incredible apps.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 02:11 PM) I think Lincoln Way East is the best team in the South Suburbs. They are the best team in the state. When LWW closes in the next couple of years LWC will be just as good.

Can Rodon become a quality mlb starter?
QUOTE (Tony @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 02:32 PM) @CSNHayes 54s Correction: Carlos Rodon had a second opinion done Monday. Nothing new was discovered. He remains out w/ inflammation. #WhiteSox This just feels like they know something is wrong, but can't figure it out. Probably but the optimist also tells me they are being overly cautious for no other reason then they can.

9/12 Sox at Royals
Seems like the corpseball and tipping of the cap has been much less frequent this year as well especially for the unknown pitcher that has no business being in the MLB.

Looks pretty balanced throughout only one long road trip Milwaukee at home sucks but at Pittsburgh and St Louis

Just for fun...what if
I thought this from time to time. If everyone had career years I think they go 85-77 make a wild card, lose to the Yankees or Indians/Houston/Boston but never really threaten to be better than this over time.

Financial News
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 08:40 AM) The good news is I can buy your social security number in just over a year and still be you. Because it's good that a company can screw over the entire country in exchange for a year of credit protection. They should be required to do it for life for everyone, but they won't be. The thing is why would I trust their credit protection?

Lady that works for me drove to her dentist in loop for one hour parking was $38. I hate paying for parking.

Adam Engel

Adam Engel
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 6, 2017 -> 10:12 AM) Tim Anderson has put up a .723 OPS in the 2nd half of the season and is coming off a really strong 6 weeks. He also had a cup of coffee last year where he put up a near 3 WAR in In this day and age of OBP Anderson will always have that glaring weakness along with his Jose Valentin defense. I don't think you kick him to the curb but there are certainly issues to address. Garcia can't seem to stay healthy either so that doesn't help.

Adam Engel
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 6, 2017 -> 09:42 AM) I can't stand it when people say this... yet here you are. Oddly Adam Engel is Brian Anderson reincarnate so cut the guy some slack.

Gonzalez to Rangers
QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 1, 2017 -> 12:40 PM) I have my opinions; you have yours. It's time to develop some of these high round draft picks who look like busts. Sox have done it with pitchers. Why not spend a few bucks and get the best hitting version of Coop and sign him up? Hahn's career is on the line if this all doesn't work out so you'd think he'd improve our minor league instructors. greg I love ya buddy but Gio is up already up and in the rotation there is no opinion in that. Look for Crete to beat Brother Rice tonight btw.

Astros acquire Verlander
QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Sep 1, 2017 -> 08:49 AM) And a Texas team bails the Tigers out of another albatross contract. This sucks. They're supposed to have to suffer for the win-now moves, but they keep finding someone to overpay for the back ends of these contracts. What's next, a legit prospect for Jordan Zimmermann? With that prospect return my guess is that Tigers are paying a nice chunk of money.

2017 Offseason White Sox News, Notes, and Tweets thread
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 30, 2017 -> 08:11 PM) Dan HayesVerified account @CSNHayes 13m13 minutes ago Nice running grab in the corner by Avisail Garcia. Fangraphs has him at 3 Defensive Runs Saved this season and at minus-1 in UZR. Garcia was minus-19 DRS between 2014-15 and is plus-5 since the start of 2016. The turn around of him is simply amazing. I never disliked the player but absolutely despised how he played.
