Investing Thread
QUOTE (gatnom @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 05:09 PM) So, do any of you financially savvy people have some investing advice for a guy who is just starting his first real job out of college? Paying back my student loans is my primary priority at the moment, but I'd like to start putting some money aside for retirement etc. sooner rather than later. Any thoughts? Save up a $1000 and put it in savings then avoid thec redit card trap. "Borrow" from yourself and always, always, avoid paying interest.

Chris Sale to start Thu May 22 vs Yankees
I wonder why they don't limit him to 18-20 starts and 100 pitches or less each game until the team is ready to compete? Maybe 100 innings.

White Sox currently tied for MLB lead in runs scored
QUOTE (Vance Law @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 08:42 PM) In a case where someone doesn't qualify for the minimum PAs, but is close, they do a calculation assuming the player got no more hits and reached the minimum PA total. If this were the end of the season and Flowers was 3 PAs short, they would assume he went 0 for 3 and then calculate the average. If he still had the highest average, he'd win the batting title. I have to ask, how did you know this?

Chris Sale to start Thu May 22 vs Yankees
Asked to comment on Chris Sale missing a start, Nolan Ryan had this for Sox Manager Robin Ventura "I told you to limit his pitch count!" BTW, this guy threw a lot of pitches, used a little Advil, and had a very long careeer . . .

The Chicago Crime Drop Fraud
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) I think it makes YoY comparisons tougher. I doubt that they are misreporting crimes at a steady rate. Usually a criminal gets more brazen in their activities, which is why they get caught. I would be willing to bet that cheating your crime stats isn't much different. It starts out with maybe a homeless guy that probably is a homicide, but no one cares, so we will just call it an "accidental death", because why waste the resources, right? Then after no one notices, maybe a little bit bigger re-categorization happens. Until eventually it becomes a routine thing. You changed my mind. I agree with your assessment.

NY Times/Sox Cuban connection
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 09:39 AM) His early days he had as much power the opposite way as anyone I have ever seen. He didn't get pull happy until later in his career. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 09:42 AM) He absolutely did. That's what made him special His opposite field home runs were as fun to watch as roof top shots.

Silva Mind Control
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 16, 2014 -> 12:42 PM) If they did it as a team, they should get their money back. The 70's sucked for White Sox baseball. Besides Dent being MVP, there wasn't m,uch to cheer about. I'm surprised Silva would brag about that.

Jeff Passan on Abreu and territorial rights/RSN's
Dallas is an 8 hour drive away and I'm blacked out. Really? Houston takes about 6 hours. I am blacked out there as well. 150 miles to watch a game in most city parks would be a 8 hour committment. that seems about the longest that makes sense to me.

The Chicago Crime Drop Fraud
If you believe that this has been going on forever than a fair comparison of crime rates is possible. In other words, as long as you are under reporting at a similar rate, you can determine if rates are increasing or decreasing.

Do we know if Frank writes his own tweets? He just doesn't seem like a Twitter guy to me.

Are they certain the foul ball wasn't damaged hitting a wall or something? The article is a little unclear.
