16 retired in a row for Danks

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 02:19 PM) He's had less than a month above A-ball? Gotcha. I don't follow the minor leagues, so I didn't know he was that low in the system still.

Eno Sarris ‏@enosarris List of two-time 10 WAR players: Bonds, Mays, Ruth, Hornsby, Mantle, Williams, Gehrig… Trout.

Why isn't this Micah Johnson guy in the clubhouse and in the lineup?

That techno video most likely just cost Hawk a few votes.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 11:00 AM) There's men who were open members of the Ku Klux Klan in the Hall of Fame, but betting on baseball NO WAY! Attempted murder? In the Hall of Fame! Drug smuggling? Hall of Fame! Drunk on the playing field? Hall of Fame! High on the playing field? Hall of Fame! http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/09/sports/b...ed=all&_r=0 The Baseball Hall of Fame is a pile of stinking s***. The sanctity of the 1st ballot kills me. Ten or twelve assholes didn't vote for Ripken or Gwynn, why? Because no one is good enough for 100%? Same with Nolan Ryan, missing six votes or so. That's ridiculous horses*** by a bunch of old man trying to act like they matter.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 10:18 AM) No matter what you think of the guy today, you really can't deny the body of work, IMO. It is like voting against Hank Aaron for the HOF because .229 with 10 homers in 1976. Agreed 100%. Nobody denied it, yet the name-calling began anyway.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 10:35 AM) Hawk deserves it. I'll never understand the hate, especially from White Sox fans. He ticks me off sometimes with his umpire ripping and when he still takes some shots at Jerry Manuel, but I love him. It will be a sad day when he's gone if he's replaced by one of these so-called "professional" broadcasters Hawk's haters seem to love. Whether people want to admit it or not, the way they watch and evaluate a game these days is heavily influenced by Hawk's views the past 25 years. If the next guy coming in is a Len Kasper type, the baseball IQ of a typical Sox fan will drop tremendously. You must not listen to the same Len Kasper I do, because I find his broadcasts very insightful. It's refreshing to hear an announcer not be afraid to include modern stats with old school baseball basics.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 08:46 AM) It doesn't help them run faster; it prevents them from bleeding in the lungs. Oh ok. No wonder I suck at the track..

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 08:19 AM) pick two-hakim nicks, reggie wayne, james jones I've been playing nicks and wayne, but I'm leaning towards benching wayne this week vs. SF I'd definitely start Wayne. Garbage time yards count too, see Griffin III, Robert.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 15, 2013 -> 06:21 PM) LASIK is a type of laser guided surgery that corrects refractive error within the cornea - thus correcting nearsightedness or farsightedness. Lasix is the brand name for the diuretic furosemide, named such because it lasts six hours (lasix = lasts six), a medication commonly used for congestive heart failure or hypertension Hmm. So what does Lasix do in those six hours to help horses ran faster?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 07:47 PM) There it is. And so it begins.

"When a team has been jerking you around for two years, it can be expected that your arm will get worn down before the season ends."

Cue the idiotic Hawk supporting

Start time of most Hawks home games has been moved up to 7:00. Woohoo.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 01:06 PM) Can you cook? Hells yeah, b****!

Most of his points about the Sox were dead-on accurate I must say.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 12:16 PM) i know you 2 either said no or haven't touched on Gomez but Headley is only 5 months older than Gomez...I'd get him and try to give him a 2 or 3 year extension before the season. I wouldn't do it for Q but Santiago scares me a bit, I'm not sure he'll ever become an a efficient enough pitcher to garner not giving him up for a gold glove middle of the order bat....Like I said, I of course would like to get him for less but wouldn't hesitate to give up Hector. Just my opinion on 3B. Why would Headley sign a 2 or 3 year extension? At age 30, it's his best time to strike it rich as a free agent. He is gonna hope to play well and sign a 5-7 year deal from the Yankees in the following offseason.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 10:31 PM) Steelers looking at being 0-2 vs Bears. Dare I say must win for Steelers? Not really. Even if they win, they are not making the playoffs. Just not a very good football team.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 10:53 PM) I sure hope A. Garcia is willing to tinker and learn how to hit. If he's another guy who swings at everything, like you said, it doesn't bode well for his career. Guys should copy Paulie in his prime. He seemed so calm at the plate. He'd take some pitches, be a professional hitter. Even Dunn at least will draw some walks. Viciedo and A. Garcia need to take some pitches. Lexi's the same way, isn't he? He never learned to be patient, thus he's going to go down in Sox lore as an average hitter. This would be another reason to bring Big Hurt back in some instructional capacity. Unless you can surgically implant Frank's eyes & brain into Viciedo's head, he is not gonna help much in getting Viciedo to be a more patient hitter.

Andrew Cashner with the one - hit shutout

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 08:05 PM) Well they would obviously save Yu for that game. So the Garza move was a headscratcher although Olt is having a bad year That's true although I believe they have already lost multiple 1-0 games with Yu on the mound

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 07:58 PM) Garza was seen as the number 1 pitcher on the market, which was annoying considering Peavy pitched better. Jake's 4.03 era was due to the 7 run/ 2 inning game @ Seattle. The Cubs knew that many teams would want him so they set the bar high. I agree though, Darvish and Holland is a good enough 1-2 punch. And Garza was healthy. That 1-2 punch won't do the Rangers any good if they lose the play in game, because Oakland has run away with the division.

Caulfield: In 2010, it was on September 8, I don't think the day has any significance.

Jaguars @ Seahawks (-19.5) Haven't seen a spread like that since the 16-0 Patriots
