  1. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 05:33 PM) The Cubs know the name that would get us interested and it's the name they're not moving. RICK HAHN'S CELLPHONE Incoming call from Theo Epstein Theo: "Hey Rick, so, we want to talk Chris Sale. How's Almora and Vogelbach sound?" Hahn: "Theo, Almora and Russell could maybe get you Jose Quintana if I'm in a good mood." Theo: "Alright, what if I give you Vogelbach and Baez for Quintana? Kind of the same thing!" Hangs up You have one unopened voicemail "Hey Rick, must have lost you. This Windy City weather can be nuts, right? Ok. So what if I give you Almora, Russell, Vogelbach and Baez for Sale and Quintana?" You have two unopened voicemails "Hey Rick. Me again. What if I give you Edwards, Baez and Russell for Sale?" You have three unopened voicemails "Rick, man, the service where you're at must be terrible. Ok. Russell, Baez, Edwards and Schwarber for Sale? Great deal for you, hell you're winning this deal!" You have four unopened voicemails "Rick, it's me, Kenny. Don't trade with Theo. He keeps calling me pretending to be an insurance company before suddenly wanting to give me a huge SALE at a discounted price of Russell, Baez, Edwards and Schwarber." Rick Hahn listens to all voicemails Calling "Northside Asshat" "Ok Theo, you want to talk Sale, let's talk Sale. Bryant, Russell, Almora, Edwards and Schwarber. I'll even give you John Danks, it's supposed to be easy for pitchers to go AL to NL, right?" "Rick, that's just too much risk. What if Sale gets hurt and I'm stuck with his massive contract?" Hangs up You have one unopened voicemail "Screw you Rick. Jed was ready to give me Rizzo for Archer when he was with the Padres, why can't you be a normal GM and play along?"
  2. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 04:16 PM) Scot Gregor ‏@scotgregor 8m8 minutes ago #WhiteSox GM Rick Hahn says he might have roster moves in mind but not giving timetable Translation: I'm not happy with the team, I've got some ideas and some stuff working but I'm obviously not going to tell you what those are. Rick Hahn stealth bomber mode?
  3. My dream owner is Cuban. MLB won't let it happen.
  4. Final Fantasy 7 Remake was announced. Come on White Sox, dreams can come true.
  5. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/06/lebron-jam...p;dlvrit=206567 Great read on LeBron's legacy. It's also interesting to think about how for so long LeBron was billed as a guy it would be easy to build a winner around. How he made his teammates so much better than Jordan did. Well, I guess it isn't anymore. LeBron is an enigma. He's best when he's dominating the ball and caring about others second. But his teams are best built for him to facilitate and involve others. The best teams to build around LeBron are ones that allow him to dominate the ball, but allow him to get others the ball. He needs to dominate and facilitate. The best team that I can think of for LeBron would have been the '10-'11 Bulls with him taking Rose's place. Noah and Boozer taking care of the boards, Deng handling tough defensive assignments and Brewer/Korver being out there for whatever is needed. Asik and Taj off the bench. Just forget Bogans.
  6. QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 11:37 PM) Joakim Noah's gonna be like "I'd like to thank Lucifer for giving me this opportunity and cursing Cleveland". That would be the single greatest acceptance speech of all time.
  7. Tom Haberstroh @tomhaberstroh Highest Pct of Team Points Finals History. 1993 Michael Jordan 38.4% 2015 LeBron James 38.3%
  8. 2-4 isn't really a big indictment of LeBron... ...except for the fact that he guaranteed eight rings. In Miami. The "Three Kings" party is what doomed LeBron if he didn't win. I'll give him the pass for 2007 for obvious reasons. Since then? Nope. Guaranteed eight.
  9. A guy I know that's a Cavs fan liked to throw around 6-0 after the Cavs beat the Bulls, saying we could take solace in that. I feel like I should console him with knowing that LeBron has two rings.
  10. Iggy's "God-fearing" has just kind of unsettled me. Just say Steph is religious...
  11. This got interesting. Is Greg a f***ing wizard?!
  12. QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 02:40 PM) Bet the house. Cavs are going to win tonight and win the Series. LeBron is motivated. LeBron is insanely motivated. Only way GS wins is if the West truly is destined to beat the weaker East every year. So...yeah...
  13. QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 07:55 PM) Pretty mediocre start by Q I can't even get mad at the pitching staff. They go and throw their hearts out only to get no run support. At some point it has to wear on them.
  14. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 01:10 PM) It's been like this for a while and the vote totals for the Royals are huge, they already have 1.5 to 2 times as many votes as the winners got last year. I hate Kansas City fans. Last year made them as arrogant as their team. I still remember hearing how easy it was going to be to sweep the Giants. Royals fans have no respect for the game.
  15. QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 02:40 PM) Bet the house. Cavs are going to win tonight and win the Series. LeBron is motivated. LeBron is insanely motivated. Only way GS wins is if the West truly is destined to beat the weaker East every year. Yup. No way is Golden State motivated. Nope. LEBRON GOING FOR THAT 100 POINT GAME.
  16. My guess is $2M fine, banned from the competitive balance picks (which were always a joke), and a few more things.
