QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 06:44 PM) If he pitches 75 innings this year and 100 innings next year then I'm not trading jack for him. Would you trade for him injured because the Sox forced him to pitch too much?

RF!!!!

Nadal v Muller tied at 9 in the 5th set

I was at Wrigley today, that was pretty funny to watch. Hadn't been in two years, crazy to see how much construction has been done, it already looks unrecognizable if you're not looking at the stadium. I assume the Ricketts are involved in all of it, so much $$$. Fenway West. And the men's bathroom was actually clean, I took my daughter in there and I felt OK about it. That was the biggest change.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 08:35 PM) Should have just skipped Q this weekend. Awful pitch selection No pitcher has ever helped their trade value at Coors Field

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 12:55 PM) I'd rather have a two year old on my lap than get beaten senseless and drug off of the plane. I'm not so sure about that, it depends on the kids. Lap child flying is no fun.

I was sitting in left/center field for game 1. It was so f***ing hot sitting in the sun. And everybody kept scoring runs.

Position player pitching alert! Jon Jay with the scoreless inning throwing 57 mph. They are trying hard to suck, but I'd still be shocked if the Cubs didn't win that division.

Imagine if there had been some turbulence and they were seriously hurt because he was on her lap. I've flown with a 18-month old in my lap and that was hard enough, I can't imagine a 27-month old boy. Looking forward to my family flight with United over Thanksgiving, ha.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 01:54 PM) So 100 people shot over the long 4th of July weekend in Chicago; 15 are dead. Rather than go on a rant about this (I think you all know I am capable of such a rant right now with five or more paragraphs freaking out about this), I would like to ask YOUR reaction. I am sad, first of all, and appalled, second of all and will spare you my angry rant. But cmon. This is ridiculous stuff. Cops say much of it was gang related. I don't like it; the country and world, really, think of Chicago as a horrible warzone. If you want my rant I'll come up with one, but please, what can be done about this??? Is Chicago truly done as a great city because of this bulls***? Are the gangs escalating to the point they will be running all parts of the city before long? Prayers for the deceased and their families. Shaking my head at the horror of 4th of July weekend in the great city of Chicago. Judging by your posts, I know you are older, I'll guess you were a teenager in the 70's. Do you know how many people were murdered yearly on average between 1970-1979? 827 people. In 2016, there were 762 murders. Were you this freaked out about the great city of Chicago being a warzone when you were a teenager?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 02:35 PM) ESPN Stats & Info‏Verified account @ESPNStatsInfo 8m8 minutes ago McDavid's cap hit will go from $925K in 2017-18 to $12.5M in 2018-19. That's an increase of 1,251% SportsCenterVerified account @SportsCenter Breaking: Oilers sign Connor McDavid to 8-year, $100 million contract extension. http://es.pn/2sqWPEF That's a lot of Loonies. Good to see small market Edmonton locking up a superstar, instead of trading him to LA.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 07:50 PM) I was just reading NY Magazine at the library asking folks to predict when Trump would be impeached and out of office. I was surprised only one of 10 respondees thought he'd be impeached/replaced. I liked the lead in. NY Magazine suggested that "everybody" knows he's already obstructed justice and it's just a matter of getting something to stick. I laughed at that, but I'd also agree with it. He's pretty obstructionary IMO. One guy predicted he'd have two terms then Pence would win BTW. Wild stuff. Who gets fired first, Trump or Bill Self?

Ryan Raburn saves the day

Amazing, it's like clockwork.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 2, 2017 -> 04:21 PM) Kruger traded to Vegas. For "future considerations ". Pure salary dump. Carey Price signs with Montreal for 8 years, $10.5 AAV, tying him with Toews and Kane for highest yearly salary in the league (until McDavid signs his deal). 100% chance that giving a goalie that deal works out poorly

The Hossa cap relief doesn't kick in until the season starts so not much else the Hawks can do on the free agency front

$1 million cap hit, meh.

We won yesterday to make it two in a row. If we win today, it's called a winning streak, it has happened before!

I wish the 2009-2012 teams had this much heart. The last two years the talent has been lacking but they have tried to make it interesting. And Melky is fun

Wooooo!!! I turned the game on at the right time

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 10:37 PM) No offense, but Adderall can be abused by pretty much anyone looking for a little bit of edge in the focus department. I'm 33 and college kids were using that s*** religiously to get by back in the day. I don't think being a baseball player really has anything to do with it. I'm not saying only baseball players can get hooked. I was saying that he's a guy who may have never been exposed, but once he was it's harder to stop because you need to perform on the baseball field. Either way, I couldn't even finish the article, too creepy and preachy.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 05:14 PM) In other words, Sharp is a real piece of s*** as a human being The whole Sharp-Keith wife thing sounds as legit as the Sandberg -Palmiero saga back in the day. Either way, I'm against bringing in all the old ex-Hawks, but if you can get him for only six figures, it might not be the worst idea. Anything more, no thanks.

I can totally respect that LaRoche may have gotten a prescription drug addiction partly from baseball. Everything else about him is super weird, but I think the drug thing with pro athletes is super valid, if you lose any edge, there goes your massive payday.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 12:59 PM) I'm not sure anything that happens in a baseball game would be enough to get them off their phones, tbh. At Blackhawks games I see people deep into their phones all through live action. If hockey can't keep them off their phones, there is nothing baseball can do. It just comes with the territory in today's world.

Let's Get it ON!!!!
