QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 11:22 PM) Why the hell would Florida trade a young, good defenseman for a slow, fat one? Barkov is a center, and I was kidding. Not kidding about trading Seabrook, of course, but kidding about Barkov being the return.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 04:51 PM) Don't think Mauer is making it this year , not just because he's struggled but 1b/dh is stacked I'm confused about how Mauer fits in to the equation here.

Stan better be on the phone by now, calling every team that will answer about Brent Seabrook. Should I go out on a limb and say a Hawks/Florida trade is forthcoming? Seabrook for Barkov. DO IT.

Also, it would be really cool if the AL All-star game starter came down to Sale or Buehrle. Although I could see Phil Hughes sneaking in there since he's the home pitcher.

Sale now owns the 4th best K/BB in the AL. Behind only Tanaka (slightly), Phil Hughes (LOL WHAT), and David Price (10 K/BB!!!!) EDIT: And Sale's WHIP is somewhere around 0.60, which is definitely leading the majors.

Chris Sale, you are amazing.

Eric Stults, the pride of Plymouth huh? I drive through there on my way to our lake house. I should stop by and say what's up to Eric.

Does anyone have the statistics on how often Hawk picks Beckham for his pick to click? It's got to be over 33% of the time. I can't imagine he goes an entire series without expecting Beckham to have a huge game. His love fest with Gordon is sickening.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 02:21 PM) Bryant has hit over 100% above league average at every stop. wRC+s of 214, 209, 212 and 219. I think I'd have him over any prospect in baseball, even Buxton. 7 HR in his last 10 games. He is no Joey Gallo, but that's pretty good.

I am not a Cubs hater, but I felt I should point out that Shark has given up 8 ER in 3 IP so far today. Kyle Loshe is 2 for 2 off him.

That was an absolute monster shot by Headley. And then a basehit. I think it's because I switched rooms guys. Sale knows I left the kitchen, and he clearly does his best work when I'm in there. Put this one on me.

Double Play offense......fun.

I'm confused as to why anyone watches WGN if it's not for their sports????

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 30, 2014 -> 11:13 AM) Since Watch Dogs sounds like a bust (maybe I'll get it at $20-25), I decided to buy the Last of Us expansion DLC, Left Behind. Anyone else play it? Only a couple hours in, but it's very reminiscent of the original game, which is a good thing. I got sucked back into that world pretty quickly. Watchdogs isn't even close to being a bust. It may not be the instant Game of the Year, but it's absolutely worth picking up at full price.

I was all on board with this all of last year and the offseason, until this year when we proved to actually have no pitching depth at all. Now, you hold on to him at all costs.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 29, 2014 -> 03:53 PM) To me that screams negotiating tactics. That would be the greatest thing that could happen for us.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 29, 2014 -> 09:51 AM) Isn't GTA the same way? As far as brake and reverse, I think so, yes. But GTA has much better driving physics. But still, the driving being "different" than GTA is no reason for me to think this game sucks, or to stop playing. I mean, I realize driving wasn't a main component of Far Cry 3, but those driving mechanics were just horrible, and it's still one of the best games of last gen.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 28, 2014 -> 03:40 PM) I just bought my ticket! I just scrambled to WhiteSox.com to buy tickets, and was about to text my buddies to come with....then I noticed it was in LA.

Nice job Carlos. Up that trade value, please.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 28, 2014 -> 10:32 AM) It's very different than GTA. I've done missions where I've barely had to shoot people. You get a choice of stealth or going in guns-blazing, which I like. And while the hacking is simple, what did you want it to be? You can't possibly hack things during a car chase with something more complicated and have it still be playable. Things that are annoying with the game: 1) You can't shoot out of your window in a car, this leads to some horrible car chases. I usually have to end up running the guy I'm trying to kill over. 2) The collision physics are total garbage, but it does make the driving much more forgiving. 3) Getting interrupted with online hacking while you're about to go to a campaign mission is fairly annoying. Yeah, I don't see why people would want complex button hacking when driving around through the city. Hitting square for everything is fine. And you can turn off the online hacking thing so no one will ever jump in to your game.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 27, 2014 -> 11:02 PM) Sale can't get the win regardless. It's the official scorer's discretion. Doesn't the notion that it is the official scorer's discretion mean that Sale COULD get the win. I mean, isn't that what that means, that the official scorer gets the decision on who earns the victory in a rain-shortened game?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 27, 2014 -> 10:55 PM) anyone with a functioning eye could see after the first two batters how this one was gonna go. He's getting lit up. My functioning eyes just saw Scott Carroll get out of the inning unscathed..... As I was saying...

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 27, 2014 -> 10:51 PM) man this sucks. be lucky to be tied after this half inning. Easy there fella. They don't even have anyone in scoring position yet.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 27, 2014 -> 09:47 PM) I understand the comment. It's completely sophmoric and wasn't funny in the least. But not surprising. Hockey is srs stuf. Feel free to remove the stick and light up at any time, it probably wouldn't kill ya.
