QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 09:35 PM) I think it's more that Ron seems to get a boner whenever Abreu struggles, as if he'd prefer to be "right" rather than have Abreu do well. Ron does take it to another level, but I have noticed in other cases where people get so defensive about Abreu as if he is some all time Sox legend. I think he just quickly became a major fan favorite I guess.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 11:12 AM) I forgot if you don't worship Abreu around here, you're a troll This is one thing that I still haven't figured out. People get so defensive over him like his name was Konerko or Buehrle. I don't get that. But he is a very solid hitter. He was figured out in that he's not the monster he was in 2014, but he is still nice to have in the lineup despite his slow starts.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 19, 2017 -> 06:33 AM) Well, I didn't see that elimination result coming. Laurel was too distracted by her new found romance.

Toews said he wasn't happy with his health this season and will change his training techniques this offseason.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 08:48 AM) Bowman throwing the D under the bus today as well as talking about moving core players. Hopefully that's Seabs. Between the contract and his no movement clause, that's not gonna be easy. Same with most of the older core players. My concern is that they will have to trade a young guy like Hartman in order to move a Seabrook. Kind of like the Bickell and Teuvo deal

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 12:52 AM) Smith is another guy wasting his time. He can't hit either. He just earned a major league salary for 10 days. I'd say the effort is well worth his time.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 21, 2017 -> 07:26 PM) For the 1000th time. 1. There was NO trend that Q was heading in a negative direction. 2. None of us have any idea what was being offered. If Hahn accepted a bad package he would have been KILLED here. 3. It's his 4th start of the year. 4. He is still signed to a ridiculous contract and has a fairly long track record of success. No GM is basing his value on one stretch. All that said, he needs to get his act together, now. And he wasn't part of the Drake/Sale/Eaton contingent

Per Scott Merlin Twitter, Shields put on the DL with a strained right lat. Pelfrey scratched from Charlotte start, no corresponding move announced yet.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2017 -> 04:46 PM) Unlike the doctor, I would imagine he is getting cash for his seat. Ha, exactly. In the end, he is still gonna be in a better position than any one else involved.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Apr 21, 2017 -> 02:38 PM) What a great time to be a non-Cubs Chicago sports fan. And many of us are also Illini fans

Madison Bumgarner injures his left shoulder in dirt biking accident, goes on DL. http://www.sfchronicle.com/giants/article/...twitter-premium

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 21, 2017 -> 01:15 PM) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh6P_sHpCpY Yup, not very impressive either. Matter of fact, the b**** is gross. Yeah, she is interesting. It's all just weird, so I wasn't sure if it was like photo shopped or staged or something, and not actually real.

So was this Wrigley girl flashing her chest a real thing?

Phillip Humber faced 27 Mariners, and retired them all... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEDwKD8glC0

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2017 -> 09:29 AM) The victim supposedly watched bondage pornography 16-18 hours per day and was receiving unemployment benefits. He deserves what he got. That's justification for busting somebody in the head with a U-lock?

So the Borussia Dortmund bomber wasn't any kind of political terrorist, he was a local Russian attempting a get rich scheme. He had bet on the future value of the stock, and could make millions if the stock dropped significantly, so he tried to maim/kill some of the players on the bus to hurt the stock price. Crazy. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/a...re-dealing-plot

QUOTE (SoxFan2003 @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 03:42 PM) Tiger with 4th back surgery. That should just about put to rest any talk of a serious comeback. http://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/192027...-alleviate-pain Say what you will about late 2000's Tiger as a human being, he was certainly fun to watch. I was always amazed at how much better he was mentally than everyone else once he got the lead. He'll never win another PGA Tour event, let alone a major. I think the 30 for 30 on him could be entertaining.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 08:56 PM) His contract didn't keep them from scoring. It may have kept them from paying another forward. Come on, I've been against that extension since day one, never gonna let it die. Playoff hockey happens, they probably overacheived in the regular season, then met a really good team finally hitting it's stride. Makes you appreciate the earlier runs, who were also more talented. But has a 1 seed ever been swept before?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 08:29 PM) I fear that this is officially the end. Too bad. With the randomness of playoff hockey, they can always make a run as a 6 seed or something. But yeah. Damn that Seabrook contract forever.

20 minutes left. Such an unexpectedly fun regular season crashing and burning. Unless...

Hawks finally start playing better, of course Nashville scores. That's still only two goals in about 230 minutes.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 06:57 PM) Where? I mean it wouldn't shock me if he is but to accuse him is dumb. http://deadspin.com/cubs-pitching-coach-co...ic-t-1794508875 Do any of the Asian leagues do PED testing?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 02:07 PM) Not a bad schedule. 2 indoor games out of the last 3 is nice. If the Bears suck, the Dec 24 game against the Browns will probably set the record for no shows, and be a stubhub user's delight. Pretty good schedule for a season ticket holder, although it would be much better if the Steelers and Browns were flip flopped. Like you said, That Browns game will make the Redskins one last year look like Woodstock. if you enjoy road games, NOLA in October is wonderful and it's a fun stadium. Tough early schedule for the Bears football wise, But never fear Mike Glennon is here!

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 06:54 PM) Schmaltz puts one through the crease, nobody in front. Toews slows down and makes a 3 on 1 a 2 on 1 Panarin misses the net from 7 feet out Rinse, repeat But Corey is on point. Reminds me of the first few months of the year before his appendix struck.

Bears 2017 Schedule per @BradBiggs Sept 10 Falcons Sept 17 at Bucs Sept 24 Steelers Thu. Sept 28 at Packers Mon. Oct. 9 Vikings Oct. 15 at Ravens Oct. 22 Panthers Oct. 29 at Saints Nov. 5 bye Nov. 12 Packers Nov. 19 Lions Nov. 26 at Eagles Dec. 3 49ers Dec. 10 at Bengals Sat. Dec. 16 at Lions Dec. 24 Browns Dec. 31 at Vikings I predict 5-11
