QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 01:09 PM) Did the Cubs really choke? The Mets were just better. You can be disappointed that your season came to an end and be damn proud of what they accomplished as well and I think Cubs fans have that right. Mets pitching is special but batting .164, playing bad defense and coming off running through Pitt and (a beat up) Cards team to overcome the "Cards black magic" is definitely a choke. The "ahead of schedule" argument doesn't apply in baseball imo.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) Interested to see the Dodgers with a capable manager Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 6m6 minutes ago Gabe Kapler a serious frontrunner to be the Dodgers manager, as they begin the process.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 03:21 PM) Not sure I agree with blaming Robin for lack of fundamentals. These players have been playing baseball their entire lives, and a bunch of our players are veterans from other teams. It's not up to Robin to teach them fundamentals, they should already know how to do that. I've seen this posted so many times yet it feels like I keep seeing the "ROBIN DOESN'T EVEN SHOW THEM FUNDAMENTALS!!" circlejerk over and over. These guys made it to pro-ball, if they sucked at fundamentals they wouldn't be where they are in the first place.

Relevant Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 1h1 hour ago Chicago, IL Here's my story: http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/155...new-bench-coach … Have heard Acta, Ibanez and Renteria as possibilities on their list

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 8, 2015 -> 10:16 PM) I'm going to throw it out there, but what about Chris Davis? He's the best hitter available in free agency, can technically play multiple positions (allows both him & Abreu in the lineup in NL parks), and his addition would allow us to go defense-oriented at a couple of spots. Sign Zobrist and trade for a catcher (will use Derek Norris here) and go with something like this: 1. Eaton, CF 2. Zobrist, 3B 3. Abreu, DH/1B 4. Davis, 1B/DH 5. Cabrera, LF 6. Thompson, RF 7. Ramirez, SS 8. Norris, C 9. Sanchez, 2B Huge question marks in the bottom half of the lineup, but at least they're all strong defenders. But that 1 - 5 would be very potent and could probably carry the load. I really like this idea, Davis is the power hitter needed in heart of this lineup behind Abreu. I think with a rebound season from Alexei, decent starts from most of the lineup (which isn't out of the question after this years dormant 1st half showing) I think this lineup with our pitching staff definitely improves a lot of what was wrong this year.

So is Anderson or Rowand doing home games?

This is dumb. He should have just left completely. Loved Hawk but man this half season crap just makes no sense. Start with a new guy all season, not half of it.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 1, 2015 -> 10:30 AM) Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 came out and is an abject disaster. I've watched some reviews and glitch videos, and I'm astounded Activision even decided to release this game, let alone charge the full $60 for it. Not that it would be good at any price. Activision is a POS company.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 1, 2015 -> 09:52 PM) NHL. It just keeps getting better. Pretty damn near perfect. real minor complaint is the on ice trainer stuff you have to manually turn off

Anybody got NHL or FIFA 16 on PS4?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 09:09 AM) Since the 2005 lockout. The Oilers have more playoffs wins (15) than the Blues (10) wow.LOL!

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 02:28 PM) Darling to start. The right choice

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 09:01 AM) Ventura has been tossed two starts in a row. The dude obviously has some temper issues. I would bet some of his teammates are getting sick of it. If they haven't yet, they will at some point. What's with the Royals this year? Have they always been like this? Seems like this year they are extra annoying. They're acting like they've never won before, because besides the 2nd half of last year, they hadn't.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 11:19 AM) I have often wondered, had the park been built in the direction facing downtown, by which in almost every seat in the upper deck you'd get the most spectacular view of the city's beautiful skyline, if any of this negative stigma with the UD would have ever developed. Think of the view you get to see when walking down the ramp of gate 3 (I think it's gate 3) after a ballgame. It's pretty awesome given the park's location in relation to downtown. Maybe you'd still have some complaints about the steepness here and there, but I really think people would have been far more forgiving of the flaws in the deck's construct if they had that view of the city to gaze upon any time they sat up there. I have no issue sitting in the upper deck regardless, but for the casual fan, I honestly believe simply having a night time view of the skyline would give those seats a better chance of being filled.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 12:50 PM) Can't believe that was Eaton's first walk 10 games in. Can't believe he stole a base

1 pitch AB's

Darling is up. Half the goals were on Corey and the other half on our very soft defense. Tough sports day in Chicago.

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 03:01 PM) What stats, the stats that coached Avi not to dive?? He plays scared and is WORTHLESS. He accounted for the only run against Price and also has been the best Sox hitter in this young season. The guy ain't worthless.

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 02:57 PM) Do you the article or quote that proves this? Everything has always come from Avi's mouth that he will NEVER dive for a ball again, "Maybe, if we were in the World Series..." More valuable not to dive??? Is Derrick Rose his agent??? That's a joke. What the f*** good is an outfielder that can't dive?? Might as well make him a DH. I'd rather have Dayan than Avi the Scared p****. Never thought I'd read that in my life.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 16, 2015 -> 10:25 AM) I am admittedly a hockey idiot but I still love watching the Hawks. Can someone tell me why coach Q continues to play Rozsival while he is clearly incompetent and yet holds other guys completely accountable for their play and make them a healthy scratch? Its seems like he just picks and chooses he he wants to bestow accountability onto whomever he feels like at the time. Yes. But Q has a knack for playing "his" guys that he trusts, which definitely shouldn't be the case but it's been happening since he got here and has gotten more obvious to this day. Rozy does suck, and is slow, and pretty much is a shell of a former decent NHL player, but in small spurts he's still better than someone like Rundblad( one of the other options) Problem is Rozy plays too much, and gets exposed,like basically all season and specifically yesterday's first goal.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 08:59 AM) I was on upper deck but what was Flowers deal? We're these wild throws or was he just awful? 1 of those runs only scored because of advancing on passed ball. Also I swear to God one at bat a twin player fouled one off and the guy at first went to second, and everyone seemed fine with it. Could not believe LaRoche struck out twice to MILONE. I'm curious about this as well, Flowers was getting booed to hell yesterday but Noesi threw like 5-6 pitches that didn't even reach the dirt. I'm betting Noesi was just terrible to handle yesterday.
