Jose Abreu

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 05:47 PM) Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson told reporters Saturday he played through a torn ligament in his left ankle last season. Gibson underwent surgery on the ankle in mid-June. “When (the doctor) finally went in during surgery, he was astounded how I was able to still play,” Gibson said Saturday, according to the Chicago Tribune. “He said he never knew anybody who could play through so much pain. I just thought it was normal. He was surprised I was even able to run or lift off it. That’s how bad it was.” Gibson wants to be ready for training camp by the end of September, but the Tribune reports Bulls coaches and executives prefer a “cautious approach.” A cautious approach would be best. Noah/Gasol/Niko/Portis will be fine while he recovers.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 09:56 PM) So he's hit 63 HR at age 37-38? Well, if A-Rod can do it...

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 08:53 AM) He'll get there. Using his HR, RBI rates from the entire season puts him on track for 32 HRs, 101 RBIs. If he finishes the final 24 games using his second half pace he is on track for 33 HRs, 105 RBIs. There is a good chance that he slows down like last September, though.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 05:04 PM) Work gets me a 28% discount with Sprint, Verizon is 21% Perhaps the 7% loss would be worth it in terms of service.

NFL says New England had "nothing to do" with HeadsetGate/RadioGate/CommunicateGate and it was all due to the weather and an unforeseen electrical issue.

Verizon is where it's at

I didn't think he was supposed to be that good. It's not like Russian League stats always translate.

Is Panarin expected to play, or be the Dan Carcillo of the team, i.e. always be a healthy scratch?

Hawks, Marcus Kruger agree to one-year deal

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 11:51 AM) Both college and high school football are full of both so I guess we should only watch Pop Warner football? Pop Warner football can have cheating too... I guess we shouldn't watch any football, or sport, for that matter!

I didn't care for Versteeg. Liked Nordstrom, though.

Sidenote- still mad that he got the Opening Day start over Quintana

This is random, but can we get Samardzija out of the SoxTalk banner? Maybe putting Quintana and/or Rodon instead.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 09:50 AM) The Score this morning said that when the Steelers complained, the NFL went to check out the Patriots headsets (and to tell them to take it off until the problem was solved), but every time they got near the Patriots sideline the problem magically resolved. Of course. The NFL is the Patriots' b****.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 10:51 AM) I too look forward to going back to my iphone in about a month (we'll see what the deals are) from my Samsung. I just think the Apple is less glitchy then the Android and I look forward to the smoothness of the phone. Like you, I'm too old to tinker around with all the little crap (nor do I care). My iPhone 6 is so much smoother than my S3 was. That being said, 9 months in, it's far less smooth than it was. I fear that it will reach S3 territory soon.

Albert Pujols is the only player to record 30 home runs and 100 RBIs in his first two seasons. In his second season, Jose Abreu has 27 home runs and 86 RBIs with 24 games left. In his last 6 games, he is hitting .375 with 3 home runs with 6 RBIs. Will he match Pujols' feat? (Decided against posting the Sun-Times link I saw about this. You're welcome.)

I hate Tom Brady. P.S.- Any thoughts on RadioGate?

Despite his tweeting "My future will NOT be in Phoenix!", the Suns do not plan on trading PF Markieff Morris.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 07:54 AM) Anyone got some guesses on the type of contracts the big four OFs get this offseason? Really think we got to snag one of these guys. I know we'd have to give up a draft pick to sign all of them but Cespedes, but this team isn't take a big step forward without adding some legit bats. I think they will get incredibly large contracts. 8/200 type deals for some.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 01:52 AM) Guys, Nate Jones is not elite. He just isn't. Nobody said he was. But a full year of him would undoubtedly improve our pitching.
