shipps

Driving past the Cell this morning and seen all the lights on. This made me happy.

QUOTE (bjm676 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 03:49 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 2h2 hours ago Robin Ventura said 14yo Drake La Roche is "probably more mature than most of the guys in there." Why is the manager still making loaded comments? Do they not want this to die down at all?

The media made it seem as if the narrative of this story was that the Sox banned players children from the club house period. Not all media outlets made this mistake but a lot of them did when that wasnt the case at all. I am not one to blame the media for stuff but this one wouldnt have been made out to such a s*** storm world wide if the facts were reported instead of "Player retires after his son is banned from team".

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 03:14 PM) Eaton on the Score tomorrow. Hope they cleared this and he makes good choices He really better not comment on it at all. This needs to go away.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 09:30 AM) I'm always amazed at the completely legal stuff riders in California pull, flying between cars doing 80+ down the lane stripes. That always catches me off guard when I go to California. It will happen so fast meanwhile I s*** my pants because I thought a motorcycle road up through the back window of the car.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) @adamschefter Ravens' CB Tray Walker is in critical condition after being involved in a serious motorbike accident in Southeast Florida. Apparently the bike had no lights and he was wearing dark clothing...at night...and he happens to be african american.

Sale could have been one of the guys to tell Kenny it was a problem for all I know. Mind you, I thought Kenny should have been gone a long time ago.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 12:23 PM) Adam LaRoche likes to play slap ass with his son all Spring Training long The LaRoche's don't care about school or proper social development of their child Adam LaRoche played slap ass with his son all Spring Training 2015 Adam Laroche sucked fat balls all of 2015 Adam LaRoche showed up to Spring Training 2016, playing slap ass with his son the entire time People were like "this guy sucks, f*** him" Kenny asked Adam LaRoche to please only bring his kid around from time-to-time, because, like, doesn't he have s*** to do? Adam LaRoche took his ball, went home, left $13 million on the table The internet enjoyed this. LOL Steve you actually made me laugh at loud for reals with this.

Could it be possible that a few of the guys on the team could have expressed their concern to KW of the kid being there but never openly with other players because...I dont know...maybe they didnt want to be considered the guy b****ing about something "small" with one of the nice guys on the team?

congrats bmags! I swear I got goosebumps when I read that and I dont even know you dude!

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 02:39 PM) I highly doubt it, especially with him leaking what caused it. It was a decision made in the heat of the moment. Now that it is out I think it makes for all the more reason why he would want to come back and make nice somehow. Who wants to retire because of a petty argument about their kid being allowed in the clubhouse everyday? I dont know, its all so stupid.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) It sounds as if LaRoche has signed his retirement papers but the White Sox have not sent them in. It gives him a chance to reconsider https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/710187638469304322 I think there is a good chance he retracts them to be honest. And it is going to be the weirdest thing when it happens. LOL

The Sox were trying to tread lightly with this for a while but just couldnt take it anymore when it didnt change. I think I am going to see if my job will let it slide that I bring my 4 year old to work everyday. I am a great man, great husband and father too.

This was a little uglier than I thought.

If there are no substantial "personal issues" to come out for being the reason that he retired this is just going to be the weirdest retirement ever. As if this off- season couldnt get any more strange. LOL

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 01:52 PM) My guess would be if it were injury related, they would have just said that. Personal issues could be almost anything, none of which are good, and I feel dirty speculating about what they could be. The fact that his teammates tried to talk him out of it at least makes me think it's not tooooo serious.

So who is the DH as of today? Avi right?

So the Bruce talk was possibly legit then?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) there is not one deal that Pace has made this offseason that i have thought "Damn, that is an overpay" And I think Miller was likely thinking he would have got more out there considering the market for TE but with that injury history and the fact he is 30 he just wasnt able to cash in big. Pace is making moves that people will say went under the radar after it plays out. Nothing flashy besides Trevathan and even he didnt get an eye popping amount.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Just made an offer on a house. **fingers crossed** Good luck and hopefully congrats dude.

I have to say I am enjoying this whole FA period and leading up to the draft as far as the Bears are concerned. They may be pretty mediocre next season but I knew coming into it after they started this rebuild that it would be times like this that I should look forward to. The speculation, the FA additions, the trades (hopefully), and the drafts. There are a lot of moving parts right now and it is really interesting as a fan sitting back a watching it unfold. You get an idea of what coach Fox and Pace are thinking as the overall picture starts to get clearer and clearer.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 12:18 PM) Taking the family down to San Diego Zoo and Seaworld for 2 nights / 3 days in a couple weeks. Catching spring training for 2 games in advance of a conference in Arizona. You know I am jealous. Probably my three favorite places to visit.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 02:17 PM) I wasn't looking at twitter but I got a BleacherReport notification about the trade happening and freaked out. How are these corporations getting this s*** wrong? Just look for the check mark. ESPN put it on their air again too. Just so stupid. They are so eager to get the information out there in real time as its happening they jump the gun all the time. Everyone does it.
