QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:11 PM) Your neighborhood rip showed you are a Cubs fan. Based on what, exactly? That I don't believe Chicagoans are going to murder Mets fans?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) Season ticket holder for the hawks here....enlighten us on hockey fan boy. Who won the Art Ross trophy last year? That's right. You have no idea.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:07 PM) Your post was dumb and inaccurate. We know your team lost and you are in a bad mood, but don't try to defend your childish stupidity. My team didn't actually play. Glad your Mets won, though. Good for you.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:05 PM) Cubbie boy is starting to fall apart. Tell me about all the murdered baseball fans in my old neighborhood. Go ahead, I'll wait. Also, for the record, I didn't watch a second of this game, because I really don't care. I was watching hockey, the sports Chicagoans pretend to care about when their baseball teams are irrelevant. The Stars look great.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:04 PM) Didn't need to edit your post we got your ill informed quip. "ill informed". You guys are the best.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:00 PM) That's false as well. You send your daughter through Armour Square at night and see how that goes. No Mets fans are getting murdered tonight.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 09:59 PM) I'm sure they will both be murdered this evening. Wrong side of town. This isn't 35th and Shields we're talking about.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 09:58 PM) Schwarber is just awful in the field Agreed. The Cubs want a DH bad

QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 09:08 PM) Poor Griffey. He was really dont when he was traded here. Still cool to have him on the roster though. matches my sentiment. Sure he wasn't good, but the Griffey shirsey was fun to wear.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 09:04 PM) Yep. Both leagues need to be even period. The crazy part is, a more accurate statement is "The National League needs to catch up with the rest of the baseball world"

I hate the National League game. It's awful.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) Absolute f***ing joke of a field. Thanks Bill Veeck.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) Who? Juan Uribe always swung for the fences. The player we're talking about is named Javier Baez. "Javier Uribe" What is it you guys always say? "Are you sure you're a White Sox fan?"

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 08:40 PM) Does Baez ever not swing for the fences? Just watching his violent swing tires me out. Javier Uribe.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 08:26 PM) Cubs are easy team to really dislike Why, because they're really good or because their fans suck?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 08:23 PM) All these disgusting sportslock and viagra commercials are bothering me. Since when did baseball attract the low brow audience? I expect that when I watch Raw. I would be really uncomfortable if I had young children.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 08:08 PM) Big money and will be a bad deal for someone. 5/65 Not interested. He's a complete bigot.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 12:30 PM) I am pretty sure Northwestern is the worst team ever ranked as high as 13 after week 5 in NCAA history. You're probably right, but a number of ND teams have been pretty bad for their ranks.

That stupid stupid Bickell contract just continues to look stupid. He's a bad player with a bad contract who is untradeable.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 01:23 PM) Bears and Notre Dame - Same bye week. *Sigh* Big F1 race Sunday. Glad I'm not missing the Bears.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 11:59 AM) Better to happen now than later. Lets the new guys develop a bit. Bring up Johns...oh

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 03:16 PM) Good lord, Cubs fans are literally the dumbest people on Earth. Yes, I realize that World Series appearances for their team are rare, but $2500 for one ticket? That's a fortune. Unless someone is insanely rich and don't know what to do with their money, that's crazy. Let's be completely and totally honest here. If that C were an indian head, and the sport were Hockey, we would all look like idiots.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 18, 2015 -> 11:14 PM) Do you guys agree with me the Sox will get the least amount of media EVER this upcoming spring training into the season? The Cubs have that young core and the rabid fanbase and just a few months after making the NLCS the media will be salivating to reporting on their spring training. And after acquiring Price? Meanwhile, we got the buzzkiller LaRoche and the offseason stories about how his hand hurt all year or something and he's bound to be a star again?? I do love Robin the personality and the player, but really White Sox?? How can you keep the guy after what happened this past season? My opinion is Hahn/Kenny/Jerry truly believe there's no difference maker like Madden out there and they are waiting on Girardi's firing by the Yanks after next season. Quinarvy beat me too it, but the White Sox post season will dictate the media coverage. Let's be completely honest here. When the Cubs AND White Sox are good, they get relatively even media attention. 2008 was a good season for both the Cubs and the White Sox in terms of exposure Back on topic, I'm always super critical of media when they favor teams. Local media has no idea how to cover the Blackhawks, so they default to rah, rah, rah. That is the wrong attitude. The media is the media is neutral. The Cubs are the Blackhawks darlings now.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 10:08 AM) LOL. Spoken like a Sox fan from birth. In fairness, the organization has done enough most years to keep it interesting going into the season. It's just when you stop and look back the last nine years you realize how bad it has actually been.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 04:31 PM) I think they had a hearing over it. One team was dealing with street agents, I think the Cubs, while the Giants were dealing by text with what they believed to be their registered agent. Cubs win. Hopefully their last one for a while. I doubt it, but it will be extremely interesting to see how the Cubs move their glut of young talent. At some point, the game changes from "Develop the kids" to win now. They already have an AL team where they need a DH to really field their whole team, but soon pieces are going to have to move.
