Motherf***er.

RealGM insiders keep talking about Pax v. Gar. Supposedly Pax wanted people like Dieng or Plumlee over Snell. Wanted to trade Gasol. Please god get rid of Gar Forman.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 06:13 PM) I still gotta get use to us having David Holmberg back. This went over my head.

Well, Jose Abreu's thread is quite apt now.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 01:39 AM) Why do we want Jo or Pau? I can kinda understand Jo on a small deal.

So the Bulls shifting focus from Noah to Gasol might be signs of an internal rift. KC wrote that there was an internal fight over trading Gasol at the deadline and Gar won the debate. Noah is a Pax guy. So my guess is Gar gets shown the door this offseason. Hoiberg promoted to GM, Thibs hired as head coach.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 11:24 PM) I read the article you sent me. It's sad that all those stories Hillary tells have sufficiently satisfied African Americans when the actual truth is she is everything to every group, just like the SNL depiction of her. "I'll be whatever you want me to be. Bernie needs to name an African American female for his VEEP now to ward off this perception he has no clue regarding race. Bill was so forceful to the Black Lives Matter demonstrators and it hasn't hurt Hillary at all. If the tension continues, she's going to have to order Bill to stay home til the Eastern primaries/caucuses are over. She obviously doesn't need his help in upcoming states where Bernie is considered evil. Bill was definitely not in the right, but you do understand that Black Lives Matters protesters aren't representative of all black people, right?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 10:37 PM) Ho hum. Bernie wins again. Wyoming to Bernie. I think it's despicable that thanks to political media coverage, this is turning into a racial thing and that's ultimately going to bury Bernie in upcoming east coast primaries/caucuses. Why in the hell is Hillary considered so great by African Americans compared to Bernie?? For gosh sakes, Bill just took on the entire Black Lives Matter movement forcibly. If that had been one of Bernie's relatives ... boom, he'd have been buried more by the media. You tell me why the media like Geraldo laugh at Bernie's chances in New York and other Eastern states because allegedly he is so bad for African American voters?? With this turning into a racial thing ... Bernie truly has no chance. (As proof, the CNN article I read on Wyoming said "it follows Bernie's pattern of winning only rural WHITE states." WTF. I wish Bernie would present his case better to African Americans because it's not like Hillary will be that much better for African Americans than Bernie!! Chisoxfan? Weigh in on this? Because Bernie is terrible at talking about anything except Wall Street. http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/201...the-bern-213707

Draymond could probably murder someone at this point and maybe get a technical.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 08:54 PM) Am I the only one who wouldn't mind it if he kept Put in on the Board? Though I know that won't happen. Just gonna miss that when it's officially gone. I 100% endorse.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) I love Jason Benetti. Love Hawk and always will, but Benetti is a breath of fresh air. I'm hoping that as he settles into the role he'll show some more Kevin Harlan-esque excitement, but right now he's doing fantastic.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 06:51 PM) anything specific to share??? Here's our FutureSox Q&A with him. http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2015/...-blake-hickman/

Eddy Alvarez and Blake Hickman. Hickman hasn't been able to go yet, but man do I love his attitude.

Albers came to eat chicken wings and kick ass. And he was all out o chicken wings.

Wind keeps robbing A-Jax.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Looks like Duke is still upset about Drake LaRoche. Meanwhile, Albers is reveling in it?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 04:56 AM) Maddon pitched to Goldschmidt last night. Cubs lose. OMG, Cubs getting full of themselves? Check. QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 05:40 AM) Fitting it was the guy who screwed over the Orioles who took him out. The baseball gods were not happy. Feel for Schwarber. Hope he's back stronger than ever next year. If he wasn't a DH, he certainly is now. Angry baseball gods, check. Goat curse, check. Kiss of death (being the overwhelming World Series favorite), check. Cubs are screwed. QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 06:25 AM) Schwarber playing out of position was absolutely a factor in his injury. The Cubs took a risk by playing him there and now they (and especially him) are paying the price. Same thing with Avi. He's not really an outfielder and is risking getting hurt out there. Of course, it's not nearly the same loss to the team if it happens. My friend (that is a super bandwagon fan) had a status "Who do we play in left now?!" and I responded Soler. She forgot he was on the team. Her boyfriend said they could have LaStella at third and move Bryant to the OF. I responded with playing people out of position isn't really a wise move and exactly what happened here. He responded with the fact that Chris Owings isn't doing poorly for the D-backs (he's a D-backs fan), so all you need is athleticism. But I love this thought process that the Cubs deserve an All-Star in left. A year ago Soler was god's gift to baseball and now he's not worth giving a shot. QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 07:43 AM) I also think, especially at his stage in his career, missing a year of play is very costly. He seemed unusually polished in some ways, but between not getting the chance to develop further and the rustiness that comes from the time away can easily make something like his high K% skyrocket. Makes me think of Avi's shoulder. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) See Jared Mitchell...although with Jared, it also seemed to rob him of some confidence and was even more crippling because of his status as a speed/athleticism-tools player. Or this. QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 06:28 AM) With a typical ACL/MCL I would say he would most likely be back as good as new and there would be no issues with him returning o thr field 0. However with the LCL involved this will not be a typical surgery and the outcome is uncertain. Hopefully, the fact that they tried to have him walk off the field at first didn't cause any furthrr issues. That's lawsuit material if he doesn't fully recover. I really hope it's not. Hope he recovers well. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 10:54 AM) So three of the top four picks in the 2014 draft have had major season ending surgery. That is crazy. Rodon is probably praying at the altar of Herm Schneider right now.

Avi Garcia and Melky Cabrera breaking it open. JUST LIKE WE KNEW WOULD HAPPEN ALL ALONG.

THE MELKMAN DELIVERS!

Last year that's a strikeout followed by a double play, so I'll take it!

This is where having Frazier is great.

A-Jax looked like he murdered that.

Is this what it was like playing agains the Sox last year?

Avila! Avi was booking it.
