QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 6, 2015 -> 02:53 PM) That is really interesting. I would like to hear how it sounds. I am assuming there arent to many of these being sold in stores yet to hear it for myself. Its pretty recent, there was a Kickstarter maybe years ago and they raked in a lot of cash. Right now they're only on digital retailers but they been features at a lot of events like the Grammy's where they were included in the gifts bags the attendees receive. The last time I spoke to Jeff he said that he was considering talking with retailers

AN alumni from my fraternity chapter that I am pretty close with invented started this company and holds the patent on this. It's a modern gramophone with digital and bluetooth capabilities, while I am big on vinyl and record players the sound quality on this is unreal. http://www.gramovox.com/

Had a few interviews at a couple of post-production houses downtown, looks like I'm getting my first (on the books) job in film/tv.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 5, 2015 -> 10:55 PM) Adolfo got hurt at a play at the plate. Holding his ankle, had to get carried off the field. Zangari 2-3 BB Shut him down and get him healthy for instructs.

Brandon Hyde or Bo Porter

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 5, 2015 -> 01:40 AM) I have to admit, I'm really lost as to what the hell is actually happening in TD this season. There's an article on Slate breaking all of it down and even that thing is too long to read. Read the followups on Polygon.com or the True Detective subreddit.

How must win is this game on a scale 1 to 10?

I don't know how weird you guys are but here ya go

I guess he was fired for not adding to the roster and going for it at the deadline, we all know that their owner is desperate for a championship. Dombrowski appears to be a victim of his owner's desperation.

I just put on MLB Network and I see the topic on Intentional Talk. Wow, what a shocker.

If this loosing streak continues, I am jumping back on the tank bandwagon.

So Christopher Nolan finished writing the script to his new movie and has been scouting locations in London, but he has been seen meeting with........................ Jake Gyllenhaal.

Hopefully this change will mean that Hostetler will bring some new scouts into the system. But we can see finally see Rick Hahn's FO take form, with Jeremy Haber, Marco Paddy (Yeah, I'm aware that Kenny hired him.) and Hostetler.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 04:11 AM) Malick. Sorry, I was on my tablet

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 09:45 AM) Why even keep him around? God forbid someone loses their job for the lack of success this franchise has had. Hostetler is pretty young at 37 and having a guy around that has had that position before and that has tons of experience in an advisory capacity is not a bad thing.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 09:21 AM) A source of guidance on how to scout s***ty ballplayers? On how to find the next Gordon Beckham? Or is that Kenny's job? He is only there as a source of information, Hostetler is in complete control of his department and his people. That means he doesn't have to take Laumann's advice, so chill out

QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 06:30 AM) the main philosophy is between college vs hs. kids. i think there has to be a happy medium between the 2. however the sox like college in the 1 round, b/c that person will be closest to the majors. i will admit high ceiling vs high floor, well, i guess i will need to really think out that difference in order to make any semblance of an informed answer. let me asked this of those who can answer. to me, i always assumed that the sox picked, esp in the 1 round, prospects who were easy to sign and can make the majors quickly, as oppose to players who were more talented. was that how any saw it??? I would say that if if were 2011 but the new CBA changed that and since the 2012 draft the Sox have been taking BPA, line you should no matter what.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 07:25 AM) I don't have as much of a problem with them promoting Hostetler. My issue is that Laumann was rewarded for his sub-par performance with a promotion up, just like Kenny Williams. White Sox Baseball: Loyalty without Accountability Laumann didn't get a promotion. He was stripped of his job and the power that came with it, he's just there to be a source of guidance for Hostetler and nothing more.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 04:09 AM) There's only one problem with this...start drafting high schoolers in the first round and Sale/Abreu/Quintana/Eaton will all be long gone before they make it to the big leagues. Rare is the hs player like an A-Rod or Harper who doesn't need at least 2-3 years in the minors, if not 4-5. You always take the BPA no matter what, and he said that in the same interview.

Just got back from a late screening of Southpaw and I really enjoyed it. I was really looking forward to seeing it and followed the production and it meant my hype. The camera work and cinematography was great and the way the fight scenes scenes were shot was like a mix of Terrence Malick and documentary style, lots of handheld and dare I say GoPro. Jake G(Not going even going to try) was great and I could see him getting some award buzz. But Rachel McAdams was good too but she does something so incredibly hot that I lost track of the plot for a bit. And according to Jake G. that was improvised completely by her without him knowing and you can totally see him break character for a second. I can't blame him, I would've shut down the set down and take a breather. Before I say something really dirty, let me stop but go see Southpaw.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 12:22 AM) Fantastic Four is apparently not being screened for critics until the 24 hours before its release which almost certainly means its a piece of s***. Hopefully Fox gives up on the Fantastic Four and the characters revert back to Marvel. Apparently, the embargo has been lifted.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 10:43 PM) Adolfo is back! He had a problem with his hamstrings

QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 04:35 PM) ....but the question is, why the internal move now??? All of the major showcases and all star games for prep players who will be eligible for the 2016 draft are happening right now. And the Cape should be in play already. In other words, prep for 2016 draft is starting to take shape. So the timing if the announcement makes sense. If Laumann isn't going to be the guy going forward, why not announce the new guy as you start your draft prep.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 03:59 PM) God forbid they'd go out of house to find a replacement... Teams rarely go outside the org to find a replacement. And it sounds like Hostetler has a different philosophy than Laumann. He said he's a high ceiling guy and is 'intrigued' by high school players. Whereas Laumann liked high floor guys and leaned more towards college guys.
