Go CS Fullerton!

Who scheduled a day off during group play on a Sunday?

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 05:59 PM) The Sox can not do the Cubs did, the fanbase won't allow it. What fan base? The current front office trying to compete every single year has led to bottom 5 attendance. Would anyone even notice if they did what the Cubs did?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 02:21 PM) This team is so disappointing. No one to Blame but the players when they become sellers in a month Maybe the players just aren't good enough in the first place?

Damn Cleveland Indians always causing trouble for the Sox, even in different uniforms

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 12:12 PM) It's funny, given all the criticism, that Tortorella casually dropped Crawford's name as the presumptive Conn Smythe winner on ESPN today. Would make up for him getting jobbed in 2013, at least. It was Keith's to lose after the WCF, but Corey may have passed him up. For all the talk about the Hawks only playing 4 D-men, seeing some of the scrubs Tampa kept on the ice the final 5 minutes was something else. You need a goal, your stars need to be playing every shift at that point, the season is over in a few days.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 11:02 PM) Maybe let's stop planning the parade yet. A few days ago people couldn't enjoy a win enough, now they are enjoying it too much?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 10:54 PM) Anytime the A's want your players you need to reassess your opinion of such players. Obviously Semien and Phegs were good if Oakland wanted 'em. You do realize that Oakland has the worst record in the American League, right? Worse than the Sox even.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 08:07 PM) I just want someone to be responsible for this decision making. I don't know who it should be because I wasn't behind closed doors to see who was pushing for which decisions. If Hahn was strongly in favor of the "all in" type moves, big spending and trading for a guy on a 1 year deal then Hahn is the target. If someone with more power pushed him into that then get that person out of Hahns way. If the decision making setup is going to stay in place then the people who ran the day to day operations on the coaching staff need removed. You can't spend $50 million in 1 year, fail, and have no one be responsible for that failure. For no one to be held responsible then they need to stop failing. Agreed. Year after year, "All In" failed, so they finally decided to rebuild, but suddenly the "All In" crowd took control again, but no one is even pointing fingers, just shrugging shoulders

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 10:18 PM) It's already increased. Can't get in the door for less than 1000 Yup, $1,071 for SRO, $1,750 for a seat. Who says the economy is bad?

Just looked at Stubhub, $950 cheapest standing room, $1,500 cheapest seat, crazy. I had both of our tickets for game 4, so I'm out for game 6, but should be a crazy atmosphere.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 09:16 PM) Hawks 2-1 Vermette Great area pass by Versteeg when he was losing control

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) Kane a no show so far again tonight. Same with Stamkos

Hawks were better in the first, one goal. Lightning better in the second, one goal. I feel like the entire series has been this way.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 09:18 PM) Shark vs Archer tomorrow. Why bother... I'm sure the Rays are saying the same thing about Sale vs. Karns on Sunday. Too bad Sale and Archer couldn't have matched up

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) Friday July 3 is a company holiday for me but I'm thinking of taking the 2nd off too. Go ahead but don't expect to see your stapler again when you come back.

The bottom line will also be helped by 3 August weekend games vs. an improving Cubs team, as opposed to two weeknight May games against a similarily bad Cubs team.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 03:57 PM) To the hockey experts: How is the matchup going? Do u think the Hawks have what it takes to win a best 2 of 3 not having home ice? Give me your impressions of the 2 of 3 series. Is it all on Crawford? I say the odds are heavily in favor of TB. It's playoff hockey man, nobody knows the answer. You try to analyze a game, then it goes three overtimes until the puck deflects off a shin pad. There is no doubt that the Hawks CAN win 2 more games, hopefully they do.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 10:22 PM) You all need to enjoy a Stanley cup win more. Ha, right? There are two or three hockey games left this season, that's it, enjoy it while you can before the Dismantling V3.0 occurs. It's gonna be even harder to keep getting this far in the playoffs.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 12:01 AM) Torii Hunter got ejected and was throwing equipment, etc., freaking out during the latter stages of the Twins loss to the Royals. Doesn't Hunter realize the Twins are NOT contenders. The sole reason they got jump started and over .500 was their utter dominance of Chicago. That four-game sweep and then two of three in the Cell carried them the next month or so. Ridiculous. The Twins are NOT a good baseball team. Only "contending" teams are allowed to show emotion and care about the game??

It's funny how managers are given much more leeway with this type of stuff than players are. It seems like players are lucky to get two days off for the birth of a child.

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 08:35 PM) I wonder what type of impact playing with Alexei and Abreu would have on Guerrero, it might help focus him and keep his head in the game. I wouldn't want to give up too much for him since the Dodgers have basically excommunicated him, maybe Chris Beck and James Dykstra? That's all on Don Mattingly not playing his best players

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 02:50 PM) US 1-1 Germany at halftime. I thought the US was in a group with Nigeria, Sweden, and Australia?

Oduya "likely" in tonight, Versteeg in for Bickell, Kimmo in for Cumiskey (saw that coming after the GWG Monday night) I'll be there tonight with my 3-0 postseason record, so no worries!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:04 AM) Chris Sale being a god right now is the reason we can't blow it up. Wasting his prime would be a crime against baseball. The front office has been committing crimes against baseball for years now while refusing to blow it up, yet can't put a playoff team together. Unfortunately, they gave Jerry a WS game ball so they have a lifetime pass.
