QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 27, 2013 -> 05:25 PM) Twins just signed Nolasco. Likely completely irrelevant to our season on many levels. MLBTR says they are close to a "major FA signing", but they have no said it's Nolasco. They don't believe it is Salty.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 27, 2013 -> 01:03 AM) Let's all pick a stock and see which one performs the best between now and Christmas. And now, back to our regularly scheduled program of Economics for Dummies. My dad owns a pot stock that has tripled since this summer.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 09:13 PM) You split that between 4 buddies and you're looking at 150 per weekend plus spending money but you can do that on the cheap. That's true.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 10:38 PM) He already served his unpaid suspension according to the rules, if the owners still think he can hit, why shouldn't he get paid? I wish there was a rule where players caught with PEDs can only have a contractual AAV no higher than their highest career AAV, and for a max of 3 years at a time, to prevent a team from offering say.... $5M a year, but for 25 years, for a guy that may have otherwised signed a 5 year deal for $25M per year.

So nearly $400 for the weekend? Yikes. Looks like I won't be attending SoxFest for a while.

White Sox will have him be a pitcher.

And about Boardwalk, Harrow didn't miss his shot, the daughter just happened to step in to frame the second he pulled the trigger. He was lined up perfectly on Narcisse and that's where the bullet went, it was just bad luck, his hesitation in taking the shot earlier, and his lack of focus to check the scene out right before he pulled the trigger. I hate that he's gone, but like someone said, his storyline was over with. Really, he was tied to Jimmy's storyline anyway, so he had been hanging on for a couple seasons simply because he was a fan favorite.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 07:11 AM) I'm sure there is more to it than that. I've heard about it for a year now and sounds and looks good. Well I'm sure there is too, I'm just wondering what it is without having to dig through the website or read some previews on the show. I'm interested in it regardless because of Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, but I am wondering how I would explain this show to my parents who are always looking for new shows to watch, without making it seem like The Killing rebooted.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 04:52 PM) Heres why GTA sucks for me, I am now at a point where I have no missions popping up and all I am doing is driving around. WTF. Do you mean online or story mode? Because story mode, you should have a million other side missions or jobs to do to pass the time.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 11:34 PM) http://screenrant.com/true-detective-trail...-boil-hbo-2014/ This looks like it will be a good one Other than the 2 staring actors, what's interesting about this show? Maybe I'm missing the storyline, but it just seems like a show about 2 detectives who solve murders, possibly a serial killer?

What a sweet dish from Jeremy Morin tonight. Also, Taser completely fooled Dubnyk on that shorty. I want to see Raanta start a game here soon.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 01:00 AM) Someone used "Dunn" and "value" in the same sentence. Dunn has little value. Boom.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 09:25 PM) I had a different experience because outside of Pac and Biggie Ive seen pretty much every rap group a live and Macklemore was a 14 year old teeny show. And I dont care if you take me seriously: http://therapinsider.com/2013/06/19/defeat...e-people-dance/ You may not like Lil Wayne and you may be the biggest Macklemore fan boy on the block, but there is a reason why Mackelmore looks up to Lil Wayne. (see 10:50 on where he starts talking about how he wants to meet Wayne and he thinks Wayne is the biggest influence on his career, the other being Kanye.) Yeah thats called checkmate. Unless you dont take Macklemore seriously? Lulz Nice article about some racist DJ, I'm really going to listen to what that racist degenerate has to say. And I already told you I've been listening to Mack for years, which means I know he talks about how he likes lil wayne multiple times in his songs. But luckily he raps nothing like lil wayne and therefore I can actually enjoy his music. Lil Wayne is one of the worst mainstream rappers, right up there with Soulja boy, 2 Chainz, Chief Keef, and well, almost everyone in his terribad "Young Money" crew.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 07:35 PM) Are you hiring? Yes.

QUOTE (Baron @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 06:44 PM) Yep....I'd take him I'd take him for like 2-3 years for $15-20M. But with the contract McCann got, it wouldn't shock me to see Navarro get $10M a year from someone.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 06:59 PM) You said: I correctly pointed out that both of them have been at the rap game for a similar amount of time. So it doesnt make sense to say that Macklemore is still learning and Wayne isnt, when they are both practically the same age. I said learning as a STAGE PERFORMER, as in, he is learning how to perform at big concerts where he has to entertain a large group with pyrotechnics and have stage direction for cameras and be a good performer for that type of venue. For the better part of a decade he has been doing smaller shows, and certainly not on a big solo tour. You alluded to seeing him live and thinking he was not as good as LOLWayne. I had the exact opposite experience and I used his newness to these types of performances as maybe as an example of why you had a different experience than mine. Now if you are saying you simply think Lil Wayne is a better rapper, or has better music than Macklemore, than I am afraid we can end this discussion right here because I wouldn't be able to take you seriously after that.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 03:54 PM) lol Macklemore is 1 year younger than Wayne. You just dont realize that for 10 years everyone knew Macklemore sucked, but I guess hes gone pop and is doing well with kids. That was 2000, was a tough time to be a weak Eminem. First off, I've been listening to Macklemore for years now, I know he didn't just start rapping. But what does any of that have to do with what I said? You should also tell me I'm wrong because he's from Seattle, because that too has nothing to do with the conversation.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 01:10 PM) The Bulls and Sox money are separate and distinct quantities with distinct and different ownership groups. Not what he was saying, but what he was saying is almost certainly wrong anyway.

New Childish song "Sweatpants" leaked last night. It is pretty great. I'm started to get really pumped about this CD now.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 11:16 AM) Garbage. Ive seen all of them live and Macklemore was no where in Kendrick's or Wayne's class. That album isnt even close to I Am Not A Human Being 2, Yeezus or Good Kid Bad City. I've seen Macklemore and Lil Wayne live, and it wasn't even close, Macklemore killed it. Probably has something to do with the fact that lil wayne is a terrible rapper and his music sucks, but even Macklemore just learning how to be a stage performer was better than Lil Wayne 3-4 years ago when he was supposed to be in his prime.

And god damn, another great episode of Masters of Sex. This show is so well written.

God damnit Boardwalk Empire. I'll give everyone a couple days to catch up, but without getting too specific, it's obvious at least 1 or 2 or 3 or 5 people die at the end of each season, and the person who died last in the episode really pisses me off. Not that it didn't make sense, but it just makes me care a little less about next season. I still didn't like this season overall, I think it was easily the worst of the 4 seasons, but tonight's episode was really strong and they set up for some interesting things next season with a late twist.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 12:11 AM) Good lord. Expensive rents are the exact opposite of the type of move we need to make. What about "window to extend him" and "rental" fits in the same idea to you?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Nov 24, 2013 -> 10:33 PM) He was added to the 40 man. Damn.

Dan Haren to Dodgers for 1 yr/$10M. Meh.
