QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) Bill Shaikin ‏@BillShaikin 8m8 minutes ago Eaton says La Roche told him he did have contractual agreement for son to be in clubhouse. 1) Kenny said there wasn't. So now someone is lying, but we can't take either for fact. 2) The clause could very well say "Drake LaRoche is welcome in the clubhouse", not "Drake LaRoche has unlimited access to White Sox facilities"

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 11:13 AM) If that's true, why haven't we heard about it until now? That doesn't make sense. And why would Kenny flat out lie (per the Sun-Times link)? And honestly, with Sale, get Friedman on the phone if he keeps this up. Put Eaton on the market as well. Edit: I'm not saying at this exact moment, but if they keep going.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 09:45 AM) Just to throw a bit of humor into the thread... LaRoche = Eddie Harris Rollins= Pedro Cerrano " Up your butt, Jobu" I was hoping someone would toss this in here. My dad and I talked about how if a player like Pedro Cerrano existed and lived in the clubhouse, would LaRoche be tolerant of his having an altar in his locker? Let's remember the Sox were pretty accommodating of LaRoche when they gave him a faith day that allowed him to bring in a homophobic hate-monger that he pals around with. Or how they gave his kid a locker. To act like the Sox were hating on LaRoche's values is hysterical.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 08:01 PM) Yes. Adam can't bring his daughter either. On the other hand there probably isn't a father in the world who would have any desire to bring his girl around a Major League Baseball team. Well, that's not fair. Especially if wives get to come hang out at the ballpark.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 07:56 PM) Daughters are not allowed. LaRoche has a daughter. "Adam gets to bring his son, but I can't bring my daughter? So we're discriminating now?"

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 11:07 PM) Hey, wanted to update this. We hit 12 weeks today. Going to be a dad Woo! Congrats bmags!

Seems most media personnel are like "Yeah, this makes sense."

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 09:39 AM) It'll make the Senate look even worse when they reject it or delay it for 9 months. Obama made a political power play. If this gets dragged out, it only gives the democrats ammo for the general elections.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 11:58 PM) Yes it can for them. Who are you to tell people what to do with their vote? Oh, they 100% can. But these are the same people who kept going on long winded rants about "you can't complain if you don't vote." And to be fair to them, I'm in a different place as someone that likes qualities in both Bernie and Hillary.

Some of my friends are doing the Bernie or bust bulls***. That's not how this works guys.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 02:40 PM) I thought he was going to make the team regardless. It was crowded. Barring another move Shuck should basically have a guaranteed spot.

Mad respect to LaRoche for walking away from $13 million. Hope he and his family are in an OK place. I think this helps JB Shuck out a lot. http://www.chicagonow.com/soxnet/2016/03/a...-leave-the-sox/

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 01:20 AM) They did. And I like how AustinIllini dodged the question of why the Bulls are a whole lot worse than last year with Thibs. And how the minutes haven't changed under Hoiberg, the injuries are as bad if not worse and the only thing that has changed is the team is worse on offense, defense, point differential and wins. How'd they go from the only threat to Cleveland to not knowing if they'll make the playoffs. He tried to implement the Spurs offense and the players couldn't pick it up or wouldn't pick it up. Same with Hoiball. Thibs became a victim of his own success. He constantly overachieved. Here's some analysis from FiveThirty8 for ya'll. http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/the-bul...in-nba-history/ There's a reason why Golden State and San Antonio are asking him for consultations. Also, the Nets tried to offer him the job after Lionel and King were fired, but he didn't want to make a decision right now and he wants to coach either the Knicks, Lakers or wait until a better opening is available. Let us not forget how the Bulls dicked around with his firing too. Waiting waiting and more waiting. And whether Thibs was right or wrong about leaking stuff to JVG messed up his relationship with Jerry. It's funny how GarPax are always about not leaking stuff yet they let Butler and Noah run rampant. And they always leak stuff to the media about how Derrick is cleared to play when he wasn't mentally ready, how they say he's out for general soreness or how Deng is cleared to play, but it's up to his pain threshold when the guy had a broken foot. The basis of Thibs getting fired and that relationship turning sour was all Gar Forman. The guy was pissed because he wasn't getting enough credit for 2010 (how anyone can complain about not getting enough credit when you got backdoor swept in the ECF is anyone's guess) and after that, Gar started trying to consolidate power. The whole Ron Adams thing was a power play that Gar won. Funny how Adams is coaching for the defending champs, is a basketball lifer, and never had any issues with anyone in basketball but Gar. He was named Assistant Coach of the Year last year. And Boston sang his praises when hiring him. Also, Adams was the coach that Rose trusted the most. http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2013/10/...?event=event12# That's when the leaking really started about how Thibs is stubborn, didn't want to change, didn't want to adjust the offense and he was the reason for losing as if the roster makeup and the constant bs injuries his and now Hoiberg's team is dealing with. Thibs tried different things. Getting the offense to run through Noah and getting Taj to shoot the corner 3(yes, and this was in Zach Lowe's podcast with him too). And last, but not least, was the undermining of him by installing Jen Swanson, making it the worst known secret that Hoiberg would be the next coach of the Bulls a full summer before Thibs was let go and by putting unrealistic expectations on Thibs. Tell me how Jen Swanson is doing now. Tell me how Hoiberg is managing the minutes soooo much better than Thibs and is preventing injuries and keeping guys fresh. Thibs will never be an employee of the Chicago Bulls because Jerry Reinsdorf who originally hired Thibs when GarPax wanted Mike Brown, Lawrence Frank and Doug Collins, saw things Gar's way as he muddied the waters and made Jerry see things his way. He's the ultimate suck up. PS, wanna know why the Bulls don't make trades? It's because of Gar Forman's smug ass. And if Paul Shirley never took down his post on Gar Forman, you'd see how much of a jagoff the guy is. I'll +1 this. Still like Paxson. He wasn't gun shy at making trades. Just wish that the damn JVG debacle hadn't happened.

QUOTE (gosoxgo2005 @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 10:20 PM) Who would ya rather have Schwarber or Rodon? (Schwarber was taken immediately after Rodon) Rodon every time.

Christ, if the Bulls can get the 7 seed they could probably sweep the Raptors.

Also he breaks Wood's record against the Cubs.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 12, 2016 -> 10:13 PM) Chisox sought desmond for SS late for "north of" alexei's 4M, but when he didn't take it spent 10M on latos/rollins/ajax https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/708684360505888769 I like our usage of the money more.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 08:16 AM) Not surprising. If I was a prospective college student out that way, any interest I may have had in that university would be greatly diminished Yup, I lost my job next semester due to budget cuts.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 07:02 PM) His first mistake was trying to do a rally in Chicago. Do it in Springfield or something, it's never going to work in the downtown area. Then he decides to go do it at liberal campus?

I don't like seeing Alexei in another uniform.

Sale will become Death, Destroyer of Batters and strike out 312 batters.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 08:48 AM) Imagine that offense with the current pitching staff. Wow. Or just the previous year's pitching. Would have been one of the best teams ever.

Remember 2006? Power was fun.

Monstrous bomb from Davidson.

Great signing by Gambler Rick. I imagine Avi goes to AAA.
