Real

do people really think Jerry would allocate this much money to a pitcher? a pitcher whos never thrown a single pitch in the MLB? just seems extremely unlikely to me

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 07:26 AM) 80-90% of all players before the drug testing started used amphetamines. It was readily available in the coffee in every clubhouse. that's...... fine, but it doesn't refute anything I said androstenedione is a PED, has always been, same with amphetamines they weren't always banned substances but that isn't what was said what was said was "piazza never used PEDs", which is 100% false

89.7% out of 194 votes (approx 174/194)

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 12:07 PM) link? it's in his book for cryin out loud http://metsblog.com/news/mike-piazza/mike-...-upcoming-book/ he also admits to using amphetamines, another PED dude was doing everything in his power to boost his game

Piazza used andro, which has always been a PED, but not always a banned substance. So yeah he did use PEDs

"While watching the young third baseman over the course of a couple of days in Chattanooga, a scout I was talking to made a great point when I questioned whether or not Davidson was an everyday player at the big league level due to his questionable defense and propensity to strikeout. His response was to the effect of, “The requirements to be a starting third baseman at the major league level aren’t as high as they used to be.” He was right." http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/matt-davids...g-report-video/

QUOTE (wardo @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:49 AM) Don't think the return for Sale would net as much as we'd like to think. Realistically I think Sale could net something like this Cubs acquire: Chris Sale White Sox acquire: Jeff Samardzija, Jorge Soler, low level pitching prospect Cubs get outbid by 5-6 teams if that's their best offer

I remember rain hitting my bedroom window hard, sounded like somebody spraying my house with a fire hose, My sisters condo was destroyed, her bf is a local police officer, three buffalo grove officers drive down here and gave him an envelope full of gift cards, pretty cool http://www.pekintimes.com/article/20131127/NEWS/131129285

this tornado totaled houses 1 block from my house, i slept through the whole thing, crazy

List of every Sox HOF'er who got in on first ballot?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 22, 2013 -> 02:38 PM) Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane 22m Ex-White Sox scout Victor Mateo gets 8 months in prison for his role in kickback scheme. Story from @jmetr22b: http://trib.in/18WSbgp He'll serve 60-90 days is my guess.

who in your opinion is the greatest player in white sox history? in terms of pure talent

just draft the best available pitcher. i have zero confidence that the Sox can properly groom a position player to be anything above average with a bat in his hands.

I'd hope that if the Sox were to even entertain dealing Chris, Stanton would be the first in their list of players they'd want in return Though you wouldn't get anything else

lovin the Seinfeld references

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 2, 2013 -> 10:35 PM) How come you lol'ed. Flowers hasn't exactly looked very good this year. Though he has popped a few homers. i'm not sure if i should give you credit for trolling for this many years or pity the fact that you still enjoy doing it, and you haven't realized a much more serious underlying problem i guess if we just ignore our problems they go away on their own.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 19, 2013 -> 11:40 PM) Interesting point: The FO asked Dunn to change his approach going into this year despite his "productive" 2012. Even in his comeback year management insisted he change his approach. So many of you cling to his 41 HR 100 RBI as production, like he wasn't a problem last year. Management disagrees with you...why is that? I think I know. 110 hits. That's right. 110 hits all year out of the 3-hole. That's a minimum of 52 games without a hit. Lucky for everybody I did the math. He actually went hitless in 69 games last year. 69 if I added right. He started 145 games in the #3 spot and got a hit in barely half of them. Phantom production at its finest IMO. Sure you can't discount the 41 HRs just like you can't discount the 430 PA that ended in s***. f***ing OWNED all of the Dunn supporters in the face right here well done lol 69 games without a hit. 3-hole hahahahahahahahaha

Singleton has mastered the craft of color/PBP if you ask me. His ESPN broadcasts are really good

my god this team is pathetic, loldanks
