Welcome to the Dirty 30.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 03:42 PM) You're missing the point entirely. With our "studs" we still suck. When trying to hit big on prospects, it pays to have more opportunities. Keeping Konerko and Rios around here is in no way going to lead to a World Series Championship. Unless - you think it will? It's April 22 and the division looks as s***ty as ever, so the playoffs are attainable. No reason to sell all the pieces today for opportunities at prospects that might not hit. If they are out of it in July, then that's a different story.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 03:14 PM) The difference? We consistently have a high payroll. You need a foundation, then you pay around that foundation. Maybe if either franchise kept their talent when it got to the point of being paid they wouldn't be on such long droughts. Who are all these difference-making draft picks that the Royals & Pirates lost that kept them from making the playoffs?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 03:05 PM) Conor Gillaspie - 6 hitter. Adam Dunn - cleanup hitter

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 03:01 PM) KC is much improved this year whether Sox fans believe it or not is up to them. Well it's hard to be much worse than 72-90

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 03:04 PM) There's just absolutely no reason for Rios or Robin to have him running there. But honestly, who cares, every loss is a step closer to a difference-making draft pick. Sweet. Then we can become like the Pirates & Royals and all of their difference-making draft picks over the past 25 years!

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 08:29 AM) I know we've talked about this in the 'Buster before, but there's something very odd about wishing someone to be prison raped. Is it also odd to wish someone to be executed?

Rolando McClain arrested. Again.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 12:18 AM) There's definitely a lot of questions that have not been answered and probably never will. Supposedly the govt has more incriminating pictures/videos of the brothers at the marathon, but aren't releasing those to the public for whatever reason.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 08:43 PM) I would also like to add this nugget to the conversation: I think the continued losing on the north side has turned the Sox fan mentality into the Yankees fan mentality. WS or bust every year. "If I don't think this team has a good chance to win the WS, I'm not going." This leaves only the die-hards going to the game each year. It is also a damn shame that in 111 years of baseball the White Sox have never made the postseason 2 seasons in a row. The fanbase has always been like that. The only times there were near-sellouts every day were when the new stadium was built and after the World Series.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 04:57 PM) I get the distinct impression that people tired of the 78-85 win teams last year. They'd rather see a 70-win team that has promise than whatever is out there now. You don't have a very good feel on the Sox fanbase. A fair weather fanbase is not gonna support a 70-win team. They don't care about promise or the future, they care about Wins.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 07:12 PM) Ticket sales wise at least the Sox benefit from when the Cubs are drawing 40,000 per because if you want to see a MLB game you have to buy a Sox ticket. Or you buy a Cubs ticket on StubHub?

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 07:07 PM) Trumbo walk off. Angels sweep the Tigers. Maybe 80-89 wins will win the division again

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 10:07 AM) Worse than terrorists? it depends on what you consider "worse", but there are some serial killers or child rapists that are pretty awful people as well.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 02:53 AM) What's the Hawks magic # for the President's cup? Like 5 or 6? 4 points. Judging from the standings, if the Hawks get 4 points, the Penguins lose 4 possible points, or a combination of the two. Both teams have 4 games left.

Home run. The rope has been extended

Anybody ever been to the Hockey Hall of Fame? Heading to Toronto for a bach party next weekend, probably gonna check it out. There is a Habs/Leafs game Saturday night I would love to go to but tickets are major expensive.

Jerry Gergich's family is so f***ing hot...

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 10:19 PM) I feel bad for the lawyers in this instance. You know they just want to be like "no." I'm sure it just comes with the territory of being a defense lawyer or public defender. I bet they have defended worse people than this bomber.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 04:22 PM) Absolutely no reason to call up Tekotte, as he's a pointless addition to the roster with Danks already up. Danks was a pointless addition to the roster in the first place when Tank was still healthy.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 08:48 PM) Pitcher #1 : 0-3, 6.32 ERA, 15.2 IP, 22 H, 11 ER, 3 HR allowed, 7 BB, 18 K's, 1.85 WHIP Pitcher #2 : 0-1, 4.70 ERA, 15.1 IP, 17 H, 8 ER, 2 HR allowed, 7 BB, 9 K's, 1.57 WHIP Who deserves the bump for one start? Pitcher #3: 0-1, 6.26 ERA, 23.0 IP, 29 H, 16 ER, 5 HR allowed, 7 BB, 21 K, 1.57 WHIP According to your logic, Dylan Axelrod is more deserving of a start than David Price.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 03:17 PM) Few things: I'm very surprised that the man that lived in that house walked all the way to the boat, lifted the cover, and took a look to see if he was in there. There was blood, possibly clothing(?), a door open to the shed(?), and a string cut off the tarp...that would have been enough for me to go back inside and call police and be 99% sure it was related to him, even if he wasn't there. Instead he got out a ladder and looked? Wow. That's Boston Strong for ya.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 08:59 AM) How so? They already can't stop talking about how fawkin awesome Boston is, and this week is increasing it ten-fold. (They did seem to handle everything extremely well, which they will proudly tell everyone).
