QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 07:28 PM) With all due respect, you enjoy watching him bat? He's the reason I turned the game off today. I can't take his ineptitude. Everybody talks about how he was willing to hit to leftfield for a week or so. He even got an article written about him. I watch an at bat today. It's a tie game first and second I believe and the first pitch is slop on the outside part of the plate. All he's got to do is poke it to left and we get a run. He swung through it. He's in my top five least favorite Sox of all time right now I'm afraid to say. The man defines our last place team. He has 31 homers or whatever and we still are steaming toward 95-100 losses. Does anybody else on here think Dunn is "fun to watch?" I won't start a poll on it, but fun to watch does not describe my feeling toward Mr. Whiff. He's one of the most prolific home run hitters of this era and can hit a 450 foot home run at any moment. That's fun to watch, what else is there to see with this awful team?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 05:26 PM) Nice. Adam Dunn down to .219. Keep it going Adam and you can get back to the .199-.205 range which we so know and love from you. This team is addicted to losing. Wow it sucks.Wouldn't it be awesome if Dunn just retired? That'd be a helluva Christmas present for Sox fans. That would suck. Dunn is one of the few players who is fun to watch. At least he hits home runs.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 01:58 PM) That was a byproduct. I don't know if Youk would have sat out the game or not, but he was limping to the finish line at that point last season. Sox may have been better off playing that night, so someone else would be in the lineup instead of Youk.

It's pretty interesting how SI.com is openly recruiting for Oklahoma State. If you come and play football in Stillwater, all these chicks will sleep with you, you don't have to do homework, and you can smoke all the weed you want. Where do I sign?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) I know he comes from a Jewish family, but I thought Jerry was an atheist. He is an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church, whatever that is.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 07:57 AM) Jeselnik is my favorite I enjoyed his stand-up special, but his show is a giant flaming turd, holy hell. The only funny parts were when he had guests on the show.

There's just so much shadiness going on in NCAA B-ball/football on both sides of the coin, that I don't even bat an eye at any new allegations of improper benefits anymore. It's all just part of the game IMO. Some do it, some don't, some coaches know about it, some have no idea, some schools get caught, most don't. The joy and excitement of the Illini actually winning a national championship would sure as hell outweigh a college kid maybe taking some money. Of course I'd always prefer they never get in any trouble, but I sure as hell wouldn't lose any sleep over an NCAA asterisk. If D-Rose could have hit some late free throws, Memphis fans would be singing a way different tune about Calipari.

Either give teams a bye before their Thursday game or just eliminate them all together. So many of these games are brutal.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 07:51 PM) My dad - "If he gets Alexander, there will be an NCAA investigation" lol Just win a title before the sanctions come in, I won't care.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 06:51 PM) Chapelle certainly isnt nearly as relevant as he was in the past but his "Killin em Softly" special is imo the best stand up comedy ever. I agree he shouldnt be on the current list, just wanted to chime in on how great I thought that special was. That one is great, Chris Rock's Bring the Pain is still #1 to me

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 02:05 PM) "Whose" starting these threads? A teacher? Now that's funny

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 12:07 PM) Not a fan of Stephen A at all but Skip is in his own category of awful, that guy is an egotistical moron who can't even speak. I wonder if Skip even believes in anything he says. I think he's paid to be an act with crazy, idiotic ideas that gets people talking about him, his show, & his network. ESPN marketing at its finest.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 12:08 AM) Oh my god, this may be the greatest parody video I have ever seen. Hahaha, wow.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 10:32 PM) Jose Fernandez is amazing. I love how he defended himself tonight & stared that ball down after he killed it. Don't agree with McCann getting in Joses face after Gattis stared down a homer & Chris Johnson randomly running his mouth at Jose & saying he has a "Weak Ass Fastball" yet Johnson couldn't get a hit off him haha. Then Jose is rounding 3rd base after his homer & Johnson spits in his direction so Jose spits back. Hahaha if Fernandez gets robbed of ROTY because of Puig it will be a shame. This guy has had a CY Young type season on a Marlins team. f*** the Braves. Just a 21-year old kid enjoying the game of baseball on a s***ty team. Don't get so butthurt because you can't hit his pitching.

This survivors account is just incredible. http://www.esquire.com/_mobile/features/wh...102-JAN_WTC_rev

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 10:03 PM) Anyone else going to the Chicago Homecoming game Saturday? Looks to be a decent crowd, maybe 80% full. Don't expect to win, probably a really high scoring, entertaining game. But we may give up 40+. With a loss, we'd be 3-1 in non-conference since Miami is brutal, get them in 2 weeks. Maybe if the Groupon gets even cheaper.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 04:08 PM) FYI FYI, South Florida is listed as a "key win". They lost to McNeese State by 32 points.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 10:36 PM) Big fan of Boardwalk too. Just wish they cut down the story lines. Seems like there's 2 or 3 too many. I agree, so many characters in so many different places. But then they all just get killed.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) Agreed. I'll probably give it another chance. But, would rather save the time by gauging a consensus opinion here. Watch the first three seasons, it's pretty hilarious. Then save yourself the time and don't watch further.

In response to the new allegations, an awesome article by Dan Wetzel about the NCAA and their "rules" http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaaf--latest...-210822795.html

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 02:39 PM) FWIW Kyle, I agree with you, and, no matter how many steroids he smoked, I will always remember watching Bonds from 01-04 and thinking "I am never going to see anybody play this well again, even if he is on steroids" Agreed. And when I look back at the 01-04 numbers, especially 2004, they are just unbelievable. .609 OBP, lol.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 12:16 PM) So far this season they've been very good OOC. Of course, because they haven't played anybody good. (Other than Michigan/ND)NW beat Cal, who struggled to beat Portland State. Syracuse isn't very good. Even the Illinois win gets canceled out by Purdue losing by 35 to the same team. Other than that, its MAC and D 2 across the board.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 10:32 AM) I looked it up. 1st half - 18 HR 66 RBI .278/.354/.517 87 games played 2nd half - 31 HR 86 RBI .387/.451/.816 76 games played

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 07:45 AM) I love Mike & Mike. I've been listening to/watching them for 13 years. Ugh. They are the perfect example of why ESPN sucks so much.
