QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 08:13 AM) How about' 'racial' instead of 'racist'? Yeah, that works

Happy Leap Day

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 08:04 AM) Yeah this thread title really needs to be changed. You can claim his comments were dumb, shortsighted, unnecessary or whatever you want, but in no way were they at all racist. Very misleading. I think you're misinterpreting it. I made the title and I don't think the tweets are racist. The controversy (which is undeniable) regards the tweets being perceived by many as racist, hence, Adam Eaton Racist Twitter Controversy. If a mod wants to add a softening word between "Eaton" and "Racist" or remove "Racist" altogether, then so be it.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 12:53 AM) It doesn't matter. Most of the stuff we talk about on here really doesn't matter. He has no incentive to talk about it. You say "public figures" are talking about but I am sure you mean actors. So actors are talking about something happening/supposedly happening in the acting world. If there was a race issue being addressed in baseball, then he obviously he has every right to be involved. I guarantee you he wishes this situation didn't happen. There's reason for that. I agree, but his incentive was really (unrealistic) trying to stop racist conversation and appreciate everybody at the Oscars as an American. There was at least reason behind the original tweet.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 12:04 AM) Oh god, did they finally show footage at The Cell? One of their lead producers name is Nick and they have shown like 20 different stadiums, but not the Sox, despite Nick being a huge Sox fan. Was wondering if they were hiding the lack of new scoreboard in CF. The new scoreboards aren't finished yet in-game but they're said to be working on it

Here's the clip.

"Stir the drink" is the featured White Sox celebration in MLB16TS

Adam EatonVerified account ‏@AdamSpankyEaton Hope everyone sees me as a person that loves anyone and everyone. I'm sorry if I upset anyone. Didn't mean anything by it. My apologizes... pretty unnecessary

link to his account He deleted whatever the supposedly racist tweet was, but people are really mad at him for it. Did any of you see it?

The only bright spot for the Bulls lately has been Doug McDermott

Hawks sign goalie Mac Carruth for the remainder of the season.

Like tonight's move.

The first line is so well balanced with offense/defense. Wow

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 07:00 PM) Yeah, that is pretty steep. The other side of the coin is that Saad turned into Ladd and Anisimov, +. Well, a few months of Ladd, but point taken

I don't know why the reactions I've read so far are so negative. Really not anything to be upset about here.

Disappointing that General Soreness returned when Derrick Rose was coming back, but great efforts from Gasol, McDermott, Moore, Gibson, Dunleavy, Snell, Felicio, etc. Great win

Half an inch and minimal winds yesterday. Everywhere around us has 4-9 inches. Weird stuff

Hoiberg is coaching harder in practice, per Taj Gibson

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 02:02 PM) Might I recommend anyone with MLB 15 The Show go grab the latest OS rosters update. Not a whole hell of a lot will change with regards to the player universe, and this beats spending $65 for new rosters in a month. I am enjoying the Abreu / Frazier combo. Honestly, Sounds of the Show being back is enough for me to shell out 65 for the new game. That, and the new scoreboards at USCF, which reportedly will be included.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Minor. League. Deal. Quoted for reiteration

If Jimmy Rollins is our #2 hitter on Opening Day then something went wrong.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 08:44 AM) I'm guessing Avi will be a platoon partner for LaRoche and serve as the 4th outfielder. I still think Hahn brings in a LHB for the OF, one with defense that can play all three OF positions. The few players who fit that description likely aren't available. The closest/easiest thing you'll find to that is JB Shuck.

Finally got into Master of None on Netflix and it has not disappointed.
