QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) Saw the second video. It's pretty clear it was a straight up execution. The cops should be jailed. But we know how it will end. The second video makes it obvious. The two cops should get life, but they'll get acquitted.

Never run on Eaton.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 07:32 PM) Rob Young ‏@RobertHYoung 14m14 minutes ago From a reliable source on the Spencer Adams injury, it is his ankle and there is some hope that it is just a sprain #WhiteSox Well, this is better than knee.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 03:43 PM) First you b**** the Sox kept this guy on the roster during a rebuilding season, then sent him to AA the next season where he fell on his face. Now you are complaining he and his sub .500 OPS aren't around to call up. It's amazing what you argue about. Uh, I think you quoted the wrong poster.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 02:08 PM) Michael Jordan himself wouldn't solve the Kings. They are such a mess. I know some things about that org that I won't talk about (due to who the info comes from), but man, the stories about them are insane at how dysfunctional they are (ownership / front office / coaches). Don't even need insider stories. Just this video from 5:00 onward.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 03:01 PM) The worst part about this is that we were arguing about whether the team would be better if Brent Lillibridge, a guy I forgot even existed, would make a better starter. This team has been so bad for so long How can you forget the Stealth Elf!?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 02:54 PM) Let's just put it this way. He's a career 609 OPS guy in the majors in 434 career AB's. That makes Avi Garcia look good, almost. We MIGHT be better off with Nieto...who's the better defender. Have you ever watched Smith play an inning of baseball to definitively say Nieto is better?

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) According to the Boston Herald, Butler is still available via trade. LOL Probably trying to stir things up. For Jackie Bradley Jr.?

They should trade for Alex Rios to play catcher.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) It is a bit weird that they'd protect Carroll over Hector Sanchez. Why would any other MLB team want Carroll desperately? Despite all the MLB pitchers we've gone through, we still haven't used Carroll or Turner. So now we're going to have to sacrifice Narvaez to the wolves. Not that he was a top prospect or anything. Reminds us, though, that stowing away the A+/AA Cuban catcher from the Nationals for an entire year had ZERO payoff at all. He's where he would be invaluable...or would have been, that experience. Adrian Nieto has been s*** in Marlins organization.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 12:27 PM) Many do. But the #3 is usually not a highly valued property, unless you're fortunate enough to have a good AAA prospect, which most teams don't. Their third catcher got injured the day of his debut.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 12:15 PM) Considering Avila's injury history, they should have had one of those AAAA guys or grizzled veterans who have played for 1/2 the league stashed away in Charlotte. maybe they do. They actually had that one guy, but released him to "clear room" on the 40. but the 40 contained such luminaries as Scott Carroll et al. SO NOW YOU HATE THE SCOTT CARROLLS OF THE WORLD? Also their third catcher got injured the day of his debut.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 11:36 AM) Wait, players recruit other players? Since when? /DRose probably Oh for the love of. It's been well established that Rose didn't recruit back then because he 1) Was the White Knight basketball fans idolize in that he wasn't "can't beat 'em, join 'em" but in that he was "Can't beat 'em, go again." 2) He was loyal to his teammates and didn't want to undermine the Deng, Kirk, etc. There's a lot wrong with Derrick's last four years with the Bulls, but his first four years he was the Heir Apparent to Kobe in that he wanted to win on his terms, would die on the court, etc.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 08:23 AM) The affirmative decision to rush up Rodon and his stunted development as a #4 is another feather in Hahn's cap ( Cooper's as well). Cooper's continued status as whitesox deity another issue as well. lol

Rondo and Wade? This is the worst offseason ever from an emotional standpoint. I f***ing hate Wade.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:46 AM) Quintana is a much bigger snub than Eaton. Especially considering the other pitchers that got in. Has the fWAR leader for a position ever been left off? (Quintana leads AL SP in fWAR, 5th in the league behind Kershaw, Syndergaard, Fernandez and Cueto)

Wow. They just flat out executed the man.

ZACK COLLINS

Caulfield, what?

This is a weird f***ing thread.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 08:11 PM) Yeah, seemed like a lot of relievers, which makes sense if you're trying to win the game I guess. It's still bulls*** that a pitcher with the 5th highest fWAR in baseball doesn't get acknowledged as a "star", which is still the point of the game right? Yeah, this qualifies for worst snub ever.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 5, 2011 -> 12:51 PM) And I did just that. I couldn't in good conscious let this horrendous atrocity continue. I might have kids someday. In fact, I'll provide transcripts of my conversation: DCFS: Department of Children and Family Services, this is Agnus, how may I assist you today? Me: Yes, I would like to report some continuous abuse that I've been observing for the last few weeks. Agnus: Ok, Sir. Can I get your first and last name, please? Me: My name is Jordan4life. Agnus: Jordanforlife? Me: Yes Agnus: OK, sir...can I get your date of birth? Me: 4-1-83 Agnus: OK, sir, go right on ahead and tell me what's going on. Me: Yes, there's this gentleman that goes by the name of Quinarvy. And I've observed him repeatedly, I mean at will, abusing another person, I'm assuming a 12-year old child, by the name of VictoryMC98. Agnus: So you say the two parties in question go by the name of Quinarvy and VictoriMC98? Me: That is correct. Agnus: OK, continue. Me: This has been happening every day for weeks now. I don't really know this Quinarvy guy. But this seems to be, like, deliberate and elaborate on his part. Like he's personally picked this child out. You know, like a predator or a big anaconda that stalks its prey? I've never seen anything like it before. Agnus: Wow, this does sound serious. Me: Yes, I know. I'm a hard-working american citizen. I don't smoke or drink. I'm totally against sex before marriage. I go to Church every Monday, Friday and Sunday. I could no longer look at myself in the mirror and no that such domination was talking place in which one human being was, just, I mean, I can't even explain it. Have you ever seen Roots? Agnus: Roots? I don't think I have. Me: Well, in this film, the lead darkie or black guy, gets his foot chopped off when he tries to escape. That's how severe of ownage this is. Agnus: OK, sir. I really appreciate you coming forward. I need you to go a little more into detail now. This might be hard. But I'm going to need some graphic details as I type up this report. Me: That's what I'm here for. OK, there's this message board by the name of Soxtalk. Agnus: Soxtalk? Me: Yes, Soxtalk. Just a bunch of White Sox fans that converge together and discuss the team. And this guy, who I'm assuming is a child, just kinda comes out of nowhere the last month or so and starts postin' jibberish. Like he's trying to impose his will on the board. Agnus: Jibberish? Me: That's basically slang for bulls***. Agnus: I see. Are you sure Victory is a minor? Me: You wouldn't even ask that if you had observed his writings. And quinarvy just abuses him, you know, intellectually. Like you know how they say never bring a knife to a gun fight? Victory apparently doesn't understand that and for some reason tries to challenge Quinarvy even though he's just not equipped. Agnus: Ok, sir. Now when did you observe the physical abuse? Me: Physical? I didn't say that. This is message board abuse. Just one poster clearly getting the best of another. Abuse is abuse, right? Agnus: Wait, you called DCFS up to report message board abuse? Me: I felt it was my duty. Agnus: OK, sir. Can you hold please? Me: No problem ***About 5 minutes goes by*** ***Really loud banging on the door*** Inaudible - Inaudible Police: Open up! You're being charged with filing a fake abuse report! Call abruptly ends
