QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 27, 2017 -> 11:39 AM) This Iowa team has been bumpy, but man they have surprised me. Huge win against the Terps and while they have had their losing streaks, including getting swept by the Illini, they continue to respond. The young freshmen came up huge against Maryland. I love their freshmen and sophs. They played really well when Jok was hurt so I wouldn't be surprised if they contend for first next year.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 27, 2017 -> 03:32 PM) And moncada goes down swinging at three pitches. He's picked right up where he left off in September. I'd love to know what he hit against curve balls in AA as a lefty since that is supposed to be his strong side..

Minnesota has a decent amount of games in hand but 3 games in the next 4 days. Nice travel schedule.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 26, 2017 -> 11:01 PM) Illinois has Michigan State at home and Rutgers on the road left. If they can win those 2 games, that puts them at 19-12 and 9-9 in conference. If they can win 1 in the BTT, they could very well get in the tourney I don't think they'll take 8 from the Big 10 even though 8 or 9 are good enough to go. Illinois is in the high 50s right now. If they win the last 2, they'll probably be in the 8-9 game and a win won't buy them much there.

QUOTE (heirdog @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 03:00 PM) Charlene Tilton?!? Lucy Ewing of Dallas fame? Be still my heart.

Now the game will be over at 10:23 instead of 10:24. I feel much relieved.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 02:20 PM) This thread is pathetic. So much idle speculation.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 02:24 PM) You're right in that regard, but Schwarber looks like he has a clue as to what he's doing out there, even if there are severe athletic limitations. Garcia is as lost as anyone could ever be, other than maybe Lastings Milledge. He has yet to pull a Canseco and bounce a ball off his head for a HR.

Which one of you guys went to see her ....

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 08:41 AM) Just send me your $20. I'll take better care of it. I hope your printer works.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 02:56 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 44m44 minutes ago Don Cooper hopes last season was an aberration for James Shields: "He still has the stuff he needs." #WhiteSox

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 11:02 AM) Now if they honored him and gave him one of those jersey's with his number on it... With half of his number cut out?

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 12:29 AM) Cubs are planning on using Schwarber in LF (LOL) and as an emergency catcher behind Contreras and Montero. I don't think the Cubs need to make any trades but after seeing Schwarber boot some balls in ST they might conclude that the best thing for Schwarber's career is to trade him to an AL club. I'd like to see the Sox make a pitch for him if things turn in that direction. Never trade with Epstein. It seems like he always gets more than he gives up.

I wasn't sure if I was reading a story about 300-1 odds or a story with 300 "ifs", but if I was driving through Vegas, I'd lay $20 just for the heck of it. Leicester City won the EPL at 5000-1 odds last year so 300-1 is no big deal.

I didn't see the MD-Northwestern game but the loss of Lindsey is killing them despite what they did at Wisconsin. Apparently there is a risk Lindsey's spleen could rupture from contact due to the mono if he comes back too soon. That's scary.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 08:44 PM) Trust me on this: It will get better. When you're my age (kickin 80) you should be down to 120 or so per year. Naps will prevail. And all the seasons start to run together and your favorite players have mostly gone to the great ballpark in the sky.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 06:33 PM) Come opening day I do not think Hawk will have to worry about it. Good point.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:04 PM) 103 MPH. What if he goes past the 5th inning ... slows down to 98?

I loved Minnie ... such a sweet man. Llooking forward to seeing it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 11:25 AM) I so wanted to see Kansas go down at home. I was just stunned by the collapse of WV. I've never found the ability to feel sorry for Huggins.

At least there won't be a statue in the corner of the dugout masquerading as a manager this year.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 08:46 AM) Agree the year of control is probably the key factor. Ironically if he was still in Boston, he had a great shot to make made the ML roster. I would assume Hahn will "assign" someone to work with him if he goes to AAA. He would have had a minimal shot at going north with Boston. They wouldn't keep him around as a utility IF and if Sandoval flops, Holt will play 3B. Plus his call up last year showed how over-matched he was.

How is it pronounced and which syllable is accented? YOL-mer ? yol-MER ? yol-MARE ? Can Hawk get it right before July?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 05:28 PM) Actually, 65 innings was in 2015. He only threw about 56 last season (2016). So yeah not very close at all. 2+ at best. Two years ago suspended for amphetamines and last year broke his hand when slugging his roommate. What stupid thing is next to delay his development.
