QUOTE (Lillian @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:45 PM) 9 consecutive hits, including 3 doubles and 2 homers!! What the hell is he on? Trade him! Trade him now!

Artemi Panarin officially signs a 2-year entry deal with the Hawks! If he doesn't make the team, he is returned in a sealed box back to Siberia. http://www.secondcityhockey.com/2015/4/28/...-artemi-panarin

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 07:02 AM) He was kind of annoying but I get his purpose. Agree about the lady. It's Peter Gregory but a girl. Sort of lazy writing. Should've written her differently. I really believed they would have given Peter Gregory's job to a son/daughter/brother/sister of his to continue the rivalry with Gavin Belson. As far as I know, they never said who this lady is, did they?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 05:26 PM) http://www.csnchicago.com/cubs/mlb-power-r...bs-slide-top-10 Some local jack--s already has the Cubs at 8th in their MLB power rankings. Of course the White Sox are 19th. http://www.csnchicago.com/cubs/cubs-gettin...solutely-needed Russell with some big clutch hits so far but he's still striking out 50% of the time (ala Baez)...how's his defense at 2B so far? Trouble adjusting? DP chemistry with Castro? Not that power rankings matter, but Cliff Floyd of ESPN had the Cubs 4th on his power rankings. I also just saw a tweet from some writer who said the Cubs are "unstoppable". Aren't they in 2nd place still? I mean, they are playing well, but "unstoppable"??

Silicon Valley. Great s***. I love the new douchebag character. More of him, less of that awful replacement for Peter Gregory. "This guy f***s"

Ken Rosenthal tweeted today that Baltimore is being disadvantaged by having to play a Double Header later in the year....... I tweeted at him asking how the hell that is a disadvantage to the Orioles, but not also the White Sox. He agreed with me. THAT'S RIGHT, b****.

I think it would be pretty fun, and I'd be cool with it, but I don't think you can buy in to this being real with him. He's not going to put up a career year. Let's see where he is, and where the Sox are this summer, then revisit it.

QUOTE (staxx @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 08:09 PM) Engel is playing well too. His skillset is very exciting.

Well, I came here to post about Panarin, but I see you guys beat me to it. Here's the article anyway.... http://sportsmockery.com/2015/04/rumor-rus...the-blackhawks/

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 06:53 PM) Engel Beltre's the only one looking to give Shuck/Avi a challenge...but he's definitely more of a 4th/5th outfielder type, PR, defensive replacement. Thompson just has too many offensive flaws to be considered anything more than a poor man's Brian Anderson at this point. I thought he looked HORRIBLE in ST. Obviously a small sample size, but I didn't like his swing/approach at all.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 06:01 PM) You must be confused with Lilian's LH hitter obsession/passionate advocacy on that one. Give me Gerardo Parra or give me death.

Well, now Q can safely go back to his boy Crawford. You had a nice run, Darling.

Lucroy is one of the best catchers in baseball, and cheap for 2 1/2 seasons. I would expect them to want a HAUL for him. I'd love to have him, but I'm afraid at what it would cost. Anderson/Montas/Hawkins? Not sure.

Carson Fulmer yesterday vs. #14 Mizzou.... 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 11 K, 5 FO, 4 GO.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) Well, Montas is on the 40 man...Albers going down and Sale and Shark being suspended... I'm good with starting Montas' clock if it means he goes to the bullpen and Rodon goes to the rotation.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 08:54 AM) I met the dude when he and Lemieux were on Lemieux's retirement tour in his rookie season while I was interning with the Blackhawks. That was a lifetime ago. Bill Wirtz was alive, I was an intern, and Tuomo Ruutu was our best player. A decade is a long time!! Ruutu and Daze were my favorite players as a kid. And Alexei Zhamnov.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 02:34 AM) Anyone doing a franchise in The Show, got a question. I had Rodon in the rotation starting around June, and simmed the rest of the season. When it came to renewing all the contacts for the off-season, you can only make Rodon a basic free agent offer, although his status says "Contract Renewable". If I don't do anything with him in December, he just becomes a free agent. Why isn't he under contract with the Sox, and why doesn't he just get his major league salary another year, since he is a player under team control? He signed with the Rangers, so I just restarted the off-season from my last save. The Show always has been funky with that stuff. I've had prospects get sent to free agency on me as well. It's like team control doesn't exist or something.

One of these games I go to this year will be above 45 degrees, I just know it! We spent the first 4 innings on top of the bullpen bar, the next 4 innings inside of it. I was pretty trashed at the start of the game though, so I pretty much only saw/was cognizant of the game we saw on TV inside the bullpen bar.

Final line for Danish.... 6 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 7 K.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) Penguins lose their 7th straight playoff overtime game and are sent home. In Crosby's 3rd and 4th seasons, they lost the Cup final then won it all. In 6 seasons since then they have only made the conference finals once and were swept. Then again, Ovechkin has never even made the ECF. Crosby has been in the league for 10 years? Jesus that sounds so weird.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 04:45 PM) Haha yeah, same. I think I was banned for a whole year at one point. Woof. I was just a kid then.. Woah. That must have been one helluva insult you had for Dylan Axelrod.

I'll be the bullpen bar tonight, catching Avi and LaRoche's HRs.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) You are truly a warrior poet. What can I say, I've been rehabilitated through the Soxtalk judicial process. I'm a changed man.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) Heh what was the other one? I'll PM you for fear of the almighty banhammer.

Darling to start.
