Admins can we just close and lock any trade Sale trade threads? please.

I'm a fan of both of them. Good signings.

Adams with a nice start. Glad to see it.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 12:46 PM) So what exactly makes Ballers "look dumb"? The Brink is worth "a try" but Ballers "looks dumb"? I don't get it. It's a story about an ex-athlete played by a hollywood star who wants to get into the business side post-retirement. Ballers is actually pretty f***ing awesome. Also, had no idea the WR on the show is Denzel's kid. I agree. It's an entertaining show and I think the Rock does a great job as the lead. It's a show still in it's infancy, only going to get better.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 01:27 PM) Here's an interesting thought. Chris Beck has still been looked at as a Top 20 or even close to Top 10 guy in the Sox system. He and Marin are both sinker-cutter primarily, with the breaking pitches being less reliable. Marin is only one year older than Beck. Marin actually gets more ground balls than Beck does, and strikes out more guys (long term - not this year so far in small sample) than Beck does. Yet Marin wasn't even a consideration for being a T30 guy until, basically, now. Yes I know the circumstances are different, yes I know Beck at one time had a strong slider, yes I know current Marin is different than past Marin. Just saying, they have similarities, and maybe they aren't as far apart as you'd think. I still think Beck finds his way into the rotation this year. Either him or Johnson.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 09:40 AM) Nobody is taking Melky Cabrera off their hands though. How exactly would Jerry decide to not pay him in a lost season? You'd be surprised at what you could get a desperate team to do.

Do the white sox need a manager with the fire and energy of ozzie? Yes. Do the white sox need a manager named Ozzie Guillen? No.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jun 29, 2015 -> 09:45 PM) If you're already watching True Detective and Ballers, just stay on HBO and watch the Brink, it's hilarious. And then keep staying on HBO and watch Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, because it's the best show on television. I'll have to check out the Brink. Thanks.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 29, 2015 -> 05:18 PM) Any new shows this past spring or that have started this summer worth a watch? Think I will watch Mr. Robot but looking for something else me and my fiancee can watch I heard humans on AMC was pretty good last night. I watch Last Ship, Ballers, and True Detective.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 29, 2015 -> 04:57 PM) Do we really want that guy around Kane? LOL If they win another stanley cup together, I could care less what they're doing lol.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 28, 2015 -> 11:37 PM) With each coming year, betting big on the top tier FAs looks more like a fool's errand I could see Justin Upton becoming another cautionary tale this offseason. He's a great player but the red flags scare me. Especially at the price he'll command.

Quick glance at Cardinal's prospects: I wonder if we could get one of Steve Bean/Cody Stanley for LaRoche. I doubt we could get Carson Kelly

Anyone watch Ballers? I thought the first episode was pretty boring, but this one was better.

What else are you going to get for a goalie that spent a large portion of the season in the minors? I wanted him to stay, but you're not going to get much else.

I'm still absolutely excited about Danish. The kid is EXTREMELY young for this level and will continue to learn. There is zero reason to consider this year a failure in any way. No one should have expected him to dominate AA.

Hope to see Johnson continue his performances today so we can get rid of Danks.

I have had the opportunity, being a PT student currently, to observe multiple surgeries throughout my clinical rotations. I have never experienced any type of behavior remotely close to this. Each time that I have been in a surgery, the entire medical team was 110% professional and absolutely immersed in their work. It's sad that this occurs.

Agree

Fulmer dominant in 2nd inning, 2 Ks

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 03:08 PM) I wonder if this guy will be making an appearance in Arizona this Summer. Fulmer? I'd assume they'll send him straight to WS or KAN

More interested in the CWS with Fulmer pitching. White sox have been relegated to game cast, haha.

He's got some nasty stuff. I agree more first pitch strike though. They arent even close on his FB

Keep going Beck.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 09:41 AM) going to Eurpoe for two weeks on Sunday, thanks for the heads-up! Heading to mexico on Sunday for a week, see you at the airport! Haha.

Davidson 2 hits. Keep it going Adams.
