First Peavy now Sale....with the weather in Chicago the way it has been, the four horsemen of the apocalypse have to be getting saddled up.

Sox/Reds game thread ST 3-19
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 19, 2012 -> 02:00 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan Mitchell played in 11 games and was 6-for-20 with a homer and a double, seven Ks and no walks. Confidence booster. Thompson was 3-for-9. That strikeout rate is way to high.

2012-2013 NFL Thread
Marshall has issues and seems to get himself in situations that are not in his best interest. Marshall's wife seems to make Antonio Davis wife seem like Lady Di Marshall is a true number one receiver something there are very few of in the NFL. It is in Cutler and Lovie's best interest to make this work and both of them may be able to.

Sun-Times: Trades Will Happen Soon if Sox Fail
QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Mar 15, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) The trades should happen before the season starts, this team isn't going anywhere . We need to rebuild this organization from top to bottom. With the salary committed to Peavy, Rios and Dunn they are stuck here so the White Sox need to hope they get hot, get fans and win. You dump Konerko and you lose all fans and hope. The worst thing that happened to Sox recently is theo as the cub magic is bought lock, stock and barrel that theo is taking the cubs to the 2014 series. In the Chicago media he wins every trade and every move regardless as it is rebuild. It is the same as bears fans that think #1 receivers grow on trees and Brandon Marsahll is too big of a trouble maker for Bear fans to accept. I see Johnny Knox get broken in half and I wonder why anyone would do that.

Listeners on the SCORE this morning just tearing Marshall apart. I really think most folks that listen to talk radio are absolute morons.

Angels vs. White Sox @ Camelback
The book of Ephesians was written about those folks from the province of Epitaph although I could be wrong. As for its locale I can only assume somewhere near the Holy Land.

Talks beginning to move A's to San Jose
or go with California A's.....that would get really confusing when compared to the LAAA

Peavy starting today
Sox have never fared well against Tyson Ross. Maybe the White Sox shouldn't be the last team to report to spring training.

Sox spring training Catch All thread
QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 05:21 AM) It's hard to tell in gamethreads if people are being sarcastic or taking the results of 2-3 games for hitters and a couple innings from pitchers serious... I just hope it isn't a sign of things to come in regular season gamethreads. The last two years the team was terrible in the spring and then started the season out very slow.... This year they are having a terrible spring thus far...

Wow the probable starting lineup playing together. That seemed to never happened until the last week of spring in previous camps.

Selig calls world wide draft "inevitable"
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 23, 2012 -> 09:44 AM) Ben Badler @BenBadler There's a chance 2012 could be the last year without an international draft. More likely, I think we see it in 2014. Theo just kicked his dog.

Cool sketch of Comiskey from the 40's
QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 23, 2012 -> 07:36 AM) I went to the old Comiskey for about 8 years before it closed, including the final game. I still have the programs and tshirts and stuff. I can distinctly remember being in the bullpen bar (or whatever it was called) and taking pictures of Greg Hibbard as he played catch that day. As much as the old Comiskey was awesome (much like the Old Chicago Stadium was awesome), the new Park, especially how they have renovated it, is by far the best venue we've ever had to watch White Sox baseball in. I am a fan of nostalgia as much as the next guy, but IMO, our current ballpark is really underrated. The opportunities in the fundamentals for kids alone are incredible.

2011-2012 NHL Thread
QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 22, 2012 -> 04:55 PM) Sadly if he gets a career threatening problem from it, the Hawks future for years to come is in dire straits. I didn't say it was good idea, just that, that could have been going through his head. He played fine so I assume this is more precautionary.

A Lot for White Sox to Overcome
If everything goes right (2010 Bears right) for the Sox and everything goes wrong (2011 Indianapolis Colts wrong) the Sox have the ability to win the division. I am not certain any other team in the division can say this. The White Sox are a 78 win team that could just as easily win 90 games as they are to lose 90 games. I personally think there is some Tiger regression now we need some White Sox improvement.

Cool sketch of Comiskey from the 40's
QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 22, 2012 -> 12:07 PM) I wish I could have seen a game there. As biased as a person could be, I will say it was better than Wrigley. The underneath was similar in that you came up to the field and it just exploded in front of you. All you saw was green. The place looking huge as well. The bigger difference in the two is the size of the place. Wrigley's concourses and are cramped and while Comiskey was larger and allowed for room to walk. Also Comiskey smelled of beer and food. The concourse of Comiskey allowed you to walk around the entire underneath of the stadium. It just seemed large compared to Wrigely. I visited both often when I was young and Wrigley seemed small with the buildings behind it and tucked in the neighborhood. You saw the lights of Comiskey as you drove in whether on the Ryan or the Stevenson. It was the Baseball Palace of the World.

2011-12 White Sox off season catch all thread
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 22, 2012 -> 07:57 AM) Managing the bullpen? Maybe. Knowing when to pull Jake Peavy and Philip Humber as starters? Awful, awful, awful. Maybe the worst decision making I've ever seen by a Sox manager. The worst part was he was in love with the L/R match-up for pitchers but than would never pinch hit to use it to his advantage.
