QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 04:21 PM) Good Nik interview. One quote stood out. http://hoopshype.com/2015/08/20/nikola-mir...is-yet-to-come/ The Bulls have no credibility when it comes to talking about animosity behind the scenes. I don't believe any of the guys because I dont know what they may be told to say and by whom.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 01:40 PM) I guess I'm watching the wrong channel or it just never stood out. Compton was good like everyone else says. Skimmed over some events but that was ok. I wasn't all,that familiar with NWA. I was like 7 when they started but found it interesting how they broke up. I am glad they skimmed over some of the events because that movie was already at my maximum length. I think it was like 2 and a half hours which is 9,000 seconds. I loved the movie but too long for me.

Harrison Ford in anything other than a romantic comedy? Not for meeeeee.

LMAO And I hate when people post on stuff without reading the articles too. Son of a b**** that shipps guy is...

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) Shipps...you clearly didn't read the article. He owns multiple minor league baseball teams, so I presume he's relatively active in those, although I don't know that for a fact. He also is owner of something called RBI (Ripken Baseball I....). Nope didnt need to...ss2k provided every fact that I needed to make a useless post.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 03:48 PM) Realistically, the only way we trade a Quintana is if we resign Samardjiza. Can we resign Samardjiza to a friendly contract and then trade him? Yeah I would like that best.

Is there any other way realistically that we can acquire some offense? LOL Damn I really would like to have our pitching staff which is our ONLY strength to stay intact.

Has he been in baseball at all since he retired. Where the hell did his interest in managing come from all of sudden. Maybe he has been around I just dont recall.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 01:34 PM) Not really Chicago, but on Twitter today Adam Schefter was tweeting thinking he had been fired, turns out it was a mistake at HR at ESPN. HR is always f***ing some s*** up. LOL

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 12:59 PM) At best a set up guy or closer? I think that's his floor. At his best, he can be a #2 starter. He doesnt have the control for his 95+mph stuff and if he throws it 95 and lower it gets hit hard because its straight. You can get away of that kind of stuff in the bullpen but the second time around a line-up you are going to struggle. I just dont see him as a productive starter in the big leagues. Only my opinion though.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 12:49 PM) Montas and Danish absolutely should be trade bait if other teams significantly value them. Montas is at best a set-up man or closer of the future. I personally don't see overwhelming value in that so if someone is offering up some serious offensive talent for him you bite at that for sure.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 12:18 PM) Mike North will be hosting a 3 hour Bears postgame show on 97.1. He also will be talking NFL with Danny Mac on Fridays. Oh boy. LMAO That is a dream combo for the meatball fans though.

Mind you, I realize that could quite possibly turn around and bite you in the ass because Carlos may wind up being another Sale out there.

I know this would be a risky proposition but we may not have a choice if we really want to add dynamic youthful offense to the lineup but I would entertain trading Rodon. And I love the kid but I could see how you can bring back a couple of young offensive talents that are currently on a major league roster. Not a prospect that has proven nothing at the major league level. You can bring back exactly what you need with Rodon.

I dont listen to too much of ESPN radio but the past few days I have listened to it and my god Ben Finfer is one confident dude for the Cubs. LOL This guy talks about them like they are a dynasty already. I really dont want to get into the Cubs/Sox hate that goes on but I would laugh at anyone that would have so much confidence in a team that hasnt won a world series in over 100 years like he has. They are a good team but cmon now.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 20, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) Which is why Hoiberg should have stayed at Iowa State. Rose is the kind of guy who gets coaches fired quick. I dont recall there being a slew of different coaches who were fired "quick" while coaching Rose.

Its crazy because I think the Sox organizational focus on loyalty to who they put in place is such an attractive thing to lure talent from outside but its the same damn thing that keeps that talent away because they don't make changes very often LOL. Even when it may make sense.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 20, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) 670 The Score ‏@670TheScore 12m12 minutes ago "I think Robin Ventura stays put no matter what happens." @BNightengale to @SpiegelAndGoff on #WhiteSox future Well in fairness why would he have ANYTHING to do with what was pretty much a disastrous season outside of a week and half of good baseball? I am sure there is zero possibility that there is NO WAY to find a better manager than Robin. He is the absolute best they could do, I am sure. It shouldnt even be entertained even if they finish with the worst record in the American League. Seriously, why wouldnt you want to at least entertain the very thought of upgrading at every position if you could including the managers position after a season like this?

Kramer has been an analyst for some time now too, right? I could have sworn I have seen him do some games from the booth and do some post game stuff.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 01:07 AM) It was like 2003 all over again rooting for Cabrera I was thinking today of how its going to be kind of exciting and fun to cheer against the Cubs down the stretch and possibly in the playoffs. I know I dont have the disdain for them as I once did but enough to cheer for their opposing team and enjoy the games.

I was surprised to hear that he was married with children. I always thought of him as a creepy and lonely single guy.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 08:07 AM) The Score's new Bears post-game show will be Hub Arkush, James "Big Cat" Williams and Olin Kreutz. I was hoping it would've involved Matt Bowen. The man may not be the most colorful but damn he is smart and articulate.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 01:18 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 22m22 minutes ago Sources: Utley situation with #Phillies coming to head. Trade possible today. Okay so I was a day off.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) I believe, don't have it in front of me, that the highest number of victims happens in juvenile prisons, and guards are a big perpetrator. So the haha funny joke is as depressing as Balta makes out. It's a terrible issue that gets no standing because people feel like they deserve it, which is disgusting. Something so incredible to me, is this is something so on the margins of society, where if I heard anyone discuss anything hinting on this i'd at the very least tell people what I heard, but likely call the cops. That these people could have been doing this for years is not that surprising, it's that they can find partners in crime. I assume this is internet anonymity helping this? Certainly Jared and his president didn't just find out together. Those guards are pedophiles and should go to prison and have their fate awaiting them as well. I dont think many would believe that juveniles deserve to be raped while they are jail.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 11:48 AM) Do you believe the 8th amendment is a mistake and that rape is an appropriate thing for the United States to be doing as punishment even unofficially? The fact that people defend this drives me nuts. Put him in jail for as long as his well paid legal team will allow. Rape is not a punishment. It is barbaric and it is something the country shouldn't be doing to anyone. It's not a joke and we're worse people because we treat it as such. You keep on saying its all a joke. I am not joking about it. I hope that pedophiles get raped when they go to prison. I have a family member who was raped and molested by another individual repeatedly. All that he put her through throughout her life and to what she is still dealing with now and I am supposed to worry about society and our perspective on rape in jails? The jokes are at the very bottom of my list of worries and to what I am going to stand for.
