2016 Cubs catch-all thread
QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 08:13 AM) The number of rebuilding clubs is crazy, but the Central is still potentially a dog fight. The Cubs, however, still look like the division is theirs. There is something about Pittsburgh I like more than the cubs.

Sands gets the 25th spot
The White Sox need a defensive outfielder and base running threat. They do not not Sands or Shuck for that matter as neither are much better then Melky in any aspect and Melky is the guy they need to replace.

4/11 Game thread: @ Minnesota, 3:10pm, CSN/WLS
QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 04:39 PM) Yeah until you link to the boxscores of all these numerous leads Quintana has blown, I'm not buying it. I think he throws too many pitches and does not go deep enough into games as much as he should. It is valid argument it is not like he said he stinks just that the woo is me thing is a bit of his own doing.

2016 Cubs catch-all thread
QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 10:39 PM) Yup. They have a tougher road to get there. They have some teams to feast on but it's no cake walk. The top of the NL is tougher than the AL but the AL is much deeper than the NL.

Oakland bullpen doing quite the number on White Sox hitters this series.

Well when they don't hit all weekend they can at least blame the weather.

4/7 White Sox at Oakland game thread
Garcia sucks and should not be on a major league roster Giving Jackson the day off is fine but do it when Shuck can play RF and Melky in LF at least give yourself a chance I really wonder sometimes if the White Sox think Garcia is a good outfielder like when they acquired him and their scouts felt he could play center field. Whoever that was better be out of a job.

4/7 White Sox at Oakland game thread
Would love for one of Abreu, Cabrera or Garcia to not suck today. Compared to the other two Abreu has at least gotten on base but he has had some horrendous at bats as well and needs to be better.

4/5 Sox @ Oakland
QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 12:33 AM) Is it me or does he look heavier? I thought he looked more fit actually. Quintana needs to go deeper into games.

4/5 Sox @ Oakland
How about an easy inning for once........not too much to ask is it.

I love Hawk Harrelson
Hawk was good until he lost the ability to be impartial in any way shape or form and then began just saying things that were flat wrong and stupid. Last year in game one he felt he White Sox had the best defensive outfield in baseball and was telling the viewer how incredible their base running was going to be because of Vince Coleman. Anyone that has watched baseball had to have known that an outfield with Avasail Garcia in it was going to be bad. He adds nothing to the broadcast any longer.

2016 Cubs catch-all thread
QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 25, 2016 -> 03:44 PM) I can promise you if the Cubs disappoint next season, I can already hear someone like Silvy on the radio saying "Alright Joe, enough with all the antics in spring, it's about winning now, cut the crap and lets get to baseball, not baby bears." If they start out slow this year you will hear it.

2016 Republican Thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 25, 2016 -> 11:42 AM) I should point out, I'm not a fan of either of them, but I always had an opinion that while I disagreed with Ted, I at least could commend him for sticking to his core principles, etc. This would be a big game changer in that arena. What's next, Bernie is having an affair with Melania Trump? I'd vote for Bernie if that was the case.

2015-2016 NBA Thread
QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Mar 25, 2016 -> 02:46 AM) Hoiberg has an excuse because this (basically the same) roster quit on Thibs last season. Not saying that's a legit excuse, but I do believe that's why he's escaped some of the heat he probably deserves. Gar Forman has to be fired this offseason. This roster is absolute s***. How did the roster quit last year? If Pau does not get hurt there is a good chance they beat he Cavs. Hoiberg and Gar should both be shown the door and not certain how Paxson stays.

Adam LaRoche retires
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 10:14 AM) When the news first broke, I had all the respect for LaRoche for being able to walk away like that. That respect has been diminishing daily when you see stuff like this. They should be embarrassed. I had no real opinion of Laroche until this issue I think he is actually a dick and feel less of fan of eaton and Sale for defending him.

3/23 vs Padres
QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 03:44 PM) Nice play by Avi going into the gap for a backhander. Danks looks ok, the little I've seen. and now a round trippper to boot......

**2016 TV Watercooler Thread**
QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 09:51 AM) Part of her ring leading it was due to her (temporary?) anger at HHM. I wonder if she ends up leaving HHM, and that helps push Jimmy to leave Davis and Main and ultimately become Saul. As someone mentioned, the previews show Jimmy wearing a loud suit...signs that Saul emerges soon? The floppy inflatable flying guy was shown as well

Sox like where Davidson is headed
Didn't he have a great spring two years ago as well.

**2016 TV Watercooler Thread**
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 03:59 PM) I suppose she could, but the con thing with Giselle and Viktor seems like more of a game to her. She doesn't ever cross the line for it to be a real con. Remember they make it clear that she isn't cashing the check, but instead is saving it as a souvenir to put on her nightstand mirror. Yes but she went from not being a part of it, to taking part in it, to ring leading it.......

Jason Benetti, new Sox home PxP
QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 11:40 PM) Couldn't have said it better. Yes, my curiosity also as well when it comes to the excitement part. In a tight game that has some drama in key situations, am looking forward to see what he has to bring. Hoping he unloads. Plus being a newbie, he doesn't seem to shy away from mixing up the one liners with Stone. Sometimes the new guy on the block will be pretty reserved with a veteran. I'm sure that some of his reservations will decrease the more that him and Stone get to work together and get used to one another's little nuances. (lastly he's NOT Chuck Swirsky. Man did I ever fear that that friggin' wet noodle of an announcer was going to get the job). His cohesion with stone is smooth already. They play off one another nicely, similar to Jackson and Farmer but it is more natural and organic in nature. I get the feeling he will not be as excitable nor be a pitch man the game will be the game. Seems comfortable being second fiddle to the professional but also willing to bring about a good dry sense of humor.
