QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 01:40 AM) Should also be praised for developing Marcus Semien. The quietest four homers from any hitter in baseball. If we could get that type of pop with just league average defense at SS, this team would really be dangerous. Article about pitchers. Talk about Semien.

Kobe's last career play is an assist to Clarkson. He has passed the torch.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:01 AM) Yep. He had about 45 pts on 45 shots with roughly 3 minutes to go. And from that point on he went crazy and the Jazz forgot how to play basketball. If only we got OT, he could have gotten that 100 game. Or he''d die of exhaustion.

Kobe having a GOAT level last quarter.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 10:07 PM) They keep mentioning an exclusive club of athletes to spend 20+ years with one team, but aren't mentioning Ted Lyons. I mean across everything covering Kobe. A lot of them even include older baseball players.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) Love that Lassiter and Coats, two guys I was higher on than most, are both starting off hot. They are similar in some ways - outfielders taken late in the draft after issues in college (knee blow-out for Coats, personal issues for Lassiter). Both guys that normally would have gone much higher in the draft. Neither with any super-loud tools, but both with a number of good to very good tools. Those guys tend to fly under the radar. All the props to you for calling Coats.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 07:48 PM) PR 101 move. Easy call by them. Let's see if Pax looks pissed and Gar looks scared.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 04:35 PM) Reviews pouring in for Civil War and thus far they all seem to be really positive. I'm sure the movie is just rainbows and unicorns though. So funny.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 04:26 PM) No, that article said that the Kings balked at lowering the protection on the pick and then the Bulls declined to go any further. Based on that article, when the Sixers got involved, the Bulls would have gotten McLemore and Koufos for Gasol, Snell, Hinrich and a 2nd with no changes to the protection on the Deng pick... Ah, my bad.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 04:15 PM) This is what was said in the earlier Goodwill article. So the pick was going to be lowered. Damn.

I really want to know the details of the Pau-Kings deal.

f***ing hysterical. This is ridiculous.

"Adam Engel is a near-Mike Trout-level athlete. I know that sounds ridiculously hyperbolic, but I say it with unblinking sincerity. There are more 80-grade runners out there than one might think (largely because a lot of them can’t hit at all and thus never get any press), but very few of them have Trout’s dimensions of 6’2″ and 230 pounds. Engel is 6’1″ and 215, which is about as close as you’re going to get, and he was considered the fastest player in the collegian draft class last year. And boy, is he ever:" http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/prospect-wa...sy-outfielders/

But in all seriousness, Bauer should pay for it.

FanGraphs once famously said Mike Trout level athlete.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 12:03 PM) He doesnt have a fraction of the speed of Dyson/Gore. I think you forget how Leury is really damn fast.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 10:04 AM) If there is one person that knows less than Bulls doctors, it's DRose. Well, after they almost killed Luol Deng...

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 12:01 PM) This is from a poster at a cubs forum. They are currently on pace to even break their own 116 Won-Loss record by winning 135 Games and losing only 27 Games this year.........Could this possibly happen?.........One in a million shot,but still a possibility........ And Trevor Story is gonna hit like, 180 some homers.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 07:11 PM) It is just more of his laissez faire, doesn't care attitude. It just doesn't come off well. I expect people to be pissed when you miss the playoffs. The greats all have that edge. I can't imagine Lebron making that type of comment or Steph or anyone else really. I see people like Taj run through walls for the Bulls or Noah or even Jimmy (he's said dumb things about season being over, but you knew he'd doing everything in his power to play). Rose has got to be as unbelievably unlikeable of a star as to ever walk the face of the earth (for someone who hasn't done something illegal). I still say that's a byproduct of how we was treated during his injury. He used to be someone that would die on the court, but he got ripped for getting hurt, got ripped for trying to stay healthy, etc.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 04:07 PM) Chris De Luca ‏@ChrisDeLuca 1h1 hour ago Bountiful, UT #Cubs acquire LHP Giovanni Soto from Indians for cash. To make room catcher Kyle Schwarber has been transferred to the 60-day disabled list Well they finally moved him to catcher.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 10:46 PM) I can't tell if this is serious. Eddy Alvarez, after missing 3 years of baseball, posts two seasons of phenomenal numbers, and you think he might be released this summer if he struggles in AA? I mean, I get doubting him, but that's patently ridiculous, not to mention he's played all of four games so far. As the biggest Eddy Alvarez homer here, I co-sign this.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 09:08 PM) I can't speak for others, but I despise her not because I'm sexist or it's a sexist thing. I feel there's been so much smoke around her in her adult life regarding breaking the law. I feel like she's elitist (paid all that money for her speeches), she's bizarre (saying she was poor that one time) and again, the smoke suggests she is one, ill-mannered, "mean" person if you will. I don't see any articles disputing the secret service agents who said she is rude, etc. If she was Mother Theresa I think we'd hear about it. Yes I despise her screaming at me on TV through the screen but I could give a flip if she is man, woman or alien. I can accept a woman president; I just despise Hillary. I've said I love Bill Clinton; I just think Hillary is evil if that is the right word. And I love the fact SNL gets it and has her parodied perfectly. She's entitled to be president by gosh. And for the life of me I don't understand why we're gonna vote her in. Today's Q: Can I get my hopes up at all now that Cruz has emerged? Can he beat her? I realize Drumpf had no chance cause of the woman and African American vote, what bout Cruz? Any hope? Well, Cruz is legitimately evil, so I hope not.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) They will have earned it. They were one of the more disrespected champions in quite some time last offseason. Because the true dynasty, LeBron's Cavs, were robbed by injury.
