QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 09:50 PM) Ugh. No way to feel good about this or even the series at this point. It's still early, win game 4 and you are back in control of the series. But like I said earlier, hopefully Hossa is OK because missing him changes everything.

Hockey is back on, stop watching bad baseball fellas.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 08:25 PM) Try FIRESALE

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 08:51 PM) Is it me or does Eddie seem to hate it when Pierre asks him questions? That response to the question about second chances and bad ice was classic. Eddie O was silent for about 5 seconds before he answered.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 09:00 PM) We really and truly don't look like we have a chance. I'm not as worried about losing this game as I am about the severity of the Hossa injury. I figured they would split in Boston anyway and they can still take game 4, but that will be a lot tougher to do if #81 can't come back. I like Ben Smith but he is no Hoss.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 01:33 PM) Well if they truly are interested in Rios (I misread the article, it says they SHOULD be interested in him) what would they give up if not prospects? I haven't seen the article, but I just don't understand why the Mets should trade a prospect for Rios. They aren't that close to contending, their stud pitchers are super young, so it's not like their window is closing.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 12:14 PM) The Mets are said to have interest in Rios....What would you guys think of a deal built around Wilmer Flores? 21 y.o. 3B prospect who's currently hitting over .300 in AAA with a .837 OPS....Kid still has room to grow and the fact that he's already made it to AAA is encouraging.....I would ask for some lower level talent as well. If the Mets actually traded a prospect for Alex Rios, than their front office is even dumber than they appear. (which is hard to do)

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 12:06 PM) Wes Lunt commits to Illinois. Between Lunt and Bailey Illinois actually is going to have a ton of talent at QB. Just need to work on basically every other position now. Maybe we win a game in conference next year?

Least surprising news of the day: ESPN Chicago ‏@ESPNChiHawks Stalberg with Kruger and Frolik on the fourth line. Bollig out

Gonna be hard to stay over .500 with that rotation.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 16, 2013 -> 10:33 PM) A simple WRONG would've been just fine...... Sure, but what's the fun in that? I also wanted to emphasize how ridiculous of an idea that was.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jun 16, 2013 -> 10:00 AM) I could understand this email if it was asking me to vote for Rios ......but seriously "#VoteFlow" and "#VoteDunn"???? You've got to be kidding me! http://view.ed4.net/v/2LDHK5/CXQSAF/IFU899...01779-566970383 You are complaining about #VoteFlow and #VoteDunn? How about #VoteKepp? That .492 OPS should make him a ASG starter. He has 7 less walks than Tank, I didn't know that was even possible.

QUOTE (staxx @ Jun 16, 2013 -> 05:16 PM) 9.5 GB and we haven't even started playing Detroit. Yikes So we just have to go 14-4 vs. Detroit. Piece of cake.

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ Jun 16, 2013 -> 07:19 AM) OK, call me bonehead, meathead or whatever you want but here goes: The Cubs farm is getting quite good and with the addition of Bryant at some point they may be top 5-10. If you had a choice of the below top 4 which would you start a package wish list with? Noting that Bryant cannot be traded until a year after he signs? 1. Javier Baez 1. Albert Almora 3. Jorge Soler 4. Chris Bryant What other pieces would you demand back? Would you try and make it a 3 team deal? We would send Sale (As untouchable as it gets) for the right package, why not? I know the Flubs are going to off load some of their one year contracts (Feldman, Baker) and others to get more prospects to either flip or keep growing. I know we just locked up Sale to one of MLB's friendliest contracts but we need good hitting in our system. OK flame away. Mr. Madison, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 16, 2013 -> 01:04 PM) No. And I want him replaced with whoever it was that planned the 2012 team's spring training. Maybe Ozzie just f***ed up the clubhouse so bad that being rid of him made everyone play well in 2012. Now they need an actual manager again, and Robin is not getting the job done.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 16, 2013 -> 06:26 PM) Long live CONCACAF Bunker Ball! This Confederations Cup appears to be a waste of time for Spain. I cant imagine any team giving them the slightest of scares. I cant wait for the Tahiti vs Spain match haha. If Spain doesn't put up double digits, it will be an upset.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 10:44 PM) First White Sox pitcher since at least 1916 to ever strike out 14 batters (or more) and suffer the defeat, per southsidesox.com I wonder how many Sox pitchers have struck out 14 in history. Sale is the man.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 10:50 PM) We've turned into the Mariners and Sale is Felix Hernandez. Without all of the rain...

I assumed this post was referring to Eric Young Jr., who just got DFA.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 03:45 PM) Chicago fans are bandwagoners that don't know anything about hockey, unlike Bostonians, says AP piece Jesus Christ, can we make our off-day fluff a little less insulting? Of course a MIAMI newspaper posted that article. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Dodgers/DBacks suspensions: Ian Kennedy - 10 games Eric Hinkse - 5 games J.P. Howell - 2 games Skip Schumaker - 2 games Don mattingly - 1 game Kirk Gibson - 1 game Mark McGwire - 2 games Ronald Belisario - 1 game + numerous fines that mean nothing to rich players

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 12:10 PM) It sucks that tonight's game is on an exclusive channel. I'd prefer NBC not to be given another contract for the Stanley. An awesome sport that could use some more fans should not be on a premier package. The game is tonight??? f***!!! I have tickets but thought the game was tomorrow. I guess I am watching on TV, hope I can find NBCSN on my cable package, I better head home and start looking now.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 11:17 AM) Anyone remember the infamous Bears/Saints NFC title game sign? Something like we will finish what Katrina started I went to a Bears game in NOLA a few years back. The Saints fans could not have been nicer. But when talking about Bears fans, many of them had quite the negative opinion, because when they made the trip up for the NFC title game, there was nothing but jokes and insults about Katrina.

At practice today: Saad-Toews-Hossa Kane-Handzus-Sharp Bickell-Bolland-Shaw Frolik-Kruger-Bollig
