"Jason's jokes are too much! Bring back Hawk!" Yes, Jason's problem is too much personality, so we should have more Hawk.

http://www.chicagonow.com/soxnet/2016/05/w...-fifth-starter/ You're all familiar with the options for the White Sox fifth starter - no, Carson Fulmer isn't in the mix yet. A brief recap and look at the men battling for that spot.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ May 8, 2016 -> 02:56 AM) Cub fans are the only people who are fixated on attendance figures at Sox games. They dream of the possibility of the Sox leaving Chicago, but that is never going to happen. First of all, the Sox have been in Chicago longer than the Cubs. Secondly, the league would never allow it. Third, Reinsdorf's sons have never indicated they would ever be interested in selling. Cub fans keep repeating a comment JR made to the effect that if his sons sold any team, it would be the baseball team but that doesn't mean they would even want to and if they did, chances are it would be to someone like bill Wirtz or a group of Chicago based investors, including those who already have a stake in the team. It is inevitable that the lakefront will be developed from McCormick Place South. That has been discussed since the Burnham Plan and brought up numerous times over the years including when the City was bidding for the Olympics. The City is now discussing bringing the Lucas Museum here (although Rauner opposes what appears to me to be a very sensible plan to locate it where McCormick Place East is). Eventually, that is going to happen. As part of that there there will likely be a new stadium. The White Sox are the logical tenant along with either the Bears or another NFL franchise ( perhaps a successor to the NFL's Chicago Cardinals) for a stadium right on the Lake. Until then, neither the White Sox nor US Cellular are going to go anywhere. I feel the need to point out that the Cubs are the oldest active team in professional sports, were founded here, have never left the city and were the original Chicago White Stockings. They eventually became the Orphans, Colts and eventually the Cubs. The St. Paul Saints moved to the Southside and took up the old name due to its install base, then shortened it to Sox.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 8, 2016 -> 11:26 PM) Drumpf has proven that your first sentence doesn't matter. You fail to realize 8 years of Hillary coupled with the past 8 years of Bill will have made our country "Clinton-aholics." We will want more and more of Clinton and Chelsea will be sitting there not yet middle aged ready to take over. She has eight years to either get her law degree or maybe start out as an ambassador to somewhere. You wait! I'll bet you a Cell beef sandwich and Big Hurt beer she will run for president someday. Just like how we're about to elect President Jeb!

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 8, 2016 -> 05:39 PM) What'd he do? Other than Ricketts, Joe is the person involved with the Cubs I love to hate the most. Tried to say Ramos was blocking the plate. It's 100% warranted and a smart challenge to make, but ugh.

Joe Maddon is obnoxious.

1) How many HBP RBIs does Avi have? 2) That wasn't intentional. Everyone can calm down.

Hero worship is awesome! My MLB.tv fell way behind. Whoops.

I like this team's ability to walk.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 6, 2016 -> 11:22 PM) Not sure they want to go back to having four left-handers in the rotation, ceteris paribus. Gonzalez probably gets at least two more starts, unless he just gets rocked on Monday. Er, Lincecum is right handed.

We should give trans-gendered people their own Subway lines. Separate but equal sandwiches for all!

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ May 6, 2016 -> 11:29 PM) Guys, I hate to say I told you so, but I did. 125 wins is on the horizon. No, 23 is. My point: It's a long season.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 6, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) Miggy for me Abreu isn't much smaller. The reason I pick him is the size + he's a very soft-spoken, kind person. So to get him that mad is bad news. Also, Robin showing more emotion this year.

Abreu is basically the last person I would want to fight in baseball.

Greatest. Single. Ever.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 6, 2016 -> 10:29 AM) I will be fascinating to watch if he is elected. Perhaps we may see the first really independent president since Washington. I just don't have a handle on what A. Policy-wise what he truly wants and B. What is actually feasible. No one should believe that Mexico will build a fence at their expense. We are not restricting an entire religious group from coming to America. So what does Trump propose that could be a reality? Trump as President is his proposal.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 6, 2016 -> 04:13 PM) I was just thinking doesn't releasing Danks put the team in a more honest negotiating position. Here is the spot for you. Look at the standings. Don't look at our offer. Look at the standings and here is your spot in the location. Why are you looking at the cash? I told you don't look at the cash, look at the standings. . . I doubt Lincecum will command a high price tag.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ May 6, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) I like that they didn't follow the exact storyline from the comic, I think the movie is a improvement on the book. Hopefiully this leads us to the Illuminati. I was grateful that they deviated from the comic book. That storyline is all over the place.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 5, 2016 -> 07:21 PM) I personally think a lot of these movies better start getting used to it, the casuals are getting burnt out on the endless supply of superhero movies now. And I think that's going to get worse. I also can't blame them, it's getting to be a bit much at this point. Well, Civil War is going to be the true test of this.

Spoilers, obviously. Non-spoilers: This wasn't a comedy like I'm sure people will try to say it is. It wasn't formulaic either. There was heavy s*** going on in this film.
