QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 11:04 PM) We've had our disagreements about Cubs and White Sox issues, but There's no way any self-respecting White Sox fans should support a drug cheat. Arguably one of the best parts of the White Sox is their noted history of being anti-PED usage. In fact, that 2005 team only had one suspected steroid user (Ozuna) lol ok, if you say so...on all of this.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) One is a possible HOF, the other a backup catcher. I personally couldn't care less about steroids but it's amazing how Ortiz gets a pass when nobody else does.

Ya, that's complete garbage.

I get to watch tonight's game with two of my best friends who are both die hard Cubs fans in a downtown St. Louis bar. This should be all of the fun.

Damn Kal, I'm so sorry.

This would be the last match up I'd want if I were a Cubs fan. Having to face Cueto-Bum at least 3 times(you know Bum is coming in for relief if need be after game 3) in a very short series is not ideal.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 12:42 PM) Well, there are organized protests that get messages out. Some people on here who are blasting me seem to be up for spontaneous protests. If you want yourself or your kid to get arrested and never hold a job again, go ahead and encourage that. Why is kneeling during the anthem an effective protest? Like I said, you are harming a group, the military, that has nothing to do with this. The anthem is their solemn song. If you doubt that, look at them during the anthem. What's wrong with a legal protest. Again, if you do otherwise you may never work again with a big fat blotch on your police record. No employer is gonna give a good job to somebody with a record. I guarantee you at least one person(that's all you said you needed) in the military past or present has read your posts on this topic and has been offended. Way to harm military, Greg.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 4, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) Well, I'm OK with organized rallies to protest. Get the permit, tell the police you are doing it kinda protest. Why go after the national anthem when the military is so solemn about the anthem? You seriously don't live in the same world as the rest of us. It's absolutely incredible.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 4, 2016 -> 09:58 PM) Amazing how Buck is a genius if they win, and a total dolt if they lost right there. Definitely. I think the right play was to use Britton there but you know...baseball.

The Main Event feud is f***in fire too.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 08:14 PM) This just in: Illinois fans only fans to ever complain about refs. There's more Illini fans on this board than any other team so it's understandable that you guys complain the most but holy hell it's on another level. Every freakin game, in every freakin sport.

QUOTE (shipps @ Sep 30, 2016 -> 03:21 PM) Way to step out on the limb there shipps. AND YOU WERE STILL WRONG

Got a date with Luke Cage and some Bud Light's tonight. Surprise 30th birthday party for one of the girl's I hang out with tomorrow. And Kickball games and watching football on Sunday. Exciting stuff or something.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Sep 30, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) Because of the cold weather? No. As has been said earlier in this thread, Jake has been fairly mediocre as of late and I bet that'll continue in the playoffs. As far as Hendricks, same reason I thought Arrieta might have issues in last year's playoffs: he's no where near as good as he's pitched all season and at some point he's going to regress. Maybe it wont be until next year but with the extra starts in October, I'd bet on him getting hit around a bit in the playoffs. We'll obviously see.

I can easily see Hendricks and Jake getting hit hard in the playoffs. If the Cubs go down, I bet it's for that reason.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) Which is even more embarassing because they don't need to do that and he isn't getting fired. He is a free man after Sunday. Yup. It's just stupid all the way around but whatever, that's this organization right now.

Ibushi is back for the Dusty classic, tagging with Itami. That should be fun.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) Jason was looking at the memory wall and said they look like the same person He's a smart kid, he probably already knows.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 08:49 AM) I stayed up to watch them enter last night. It was interesting. They just did a 15 minute pretape introducing everyone then the live feeds went on as they came in one by one. No Julie intro. Sort of surreal. I watched them all enter then finally went to sleep around 11. Im guessing if I miss the live comps, I won't be able to go back and watch them nor will they be put up on demand. Already love me some Alex and Whitney. Obviously it's only the first night but judging off what we know about the people and reading about their backgrounds, we might actually have some intelligent people to go along with them always trying to just bring in attractive people. Could be fun.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) I don't know what better sign you can get that they are not trading sale than this step. The front office is ok with where things are right now at all levels. They will keep saying they're doing a great job and no one challenges that format. Robin is one of those yes men, so why wouldn't he be back? ^^^

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) What a f***ing joke. If they really mean this, they are baseball-clueless. If they are floating it in the media to see the reaction, they are business-stupid. If they are giving Robin an "out", they should never have let it leak, and are marketing-stupid to put it out there to be seen. So, unless the journalist completely made this up (which I highly doubt), this is pure idiocy. It's Nightingale so the last part is for sure out.

QUOTE (Tony @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 01:44 PM) No, but this move embodies what is wrong with the franchise. Yup, this is the perfect way to put it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 01:35 PM) It's time to start making some changes or its going to be same old same old again next season. That's what it's going to be. I f***in hate that these assholes have made me into that guy but they're not going to change who they are. It'll be the same f***in s***.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 01:30 PM) He's not the least of their problems, he's right in the mix of the major issues. The least would be the last arm in the pen or a solid bench player. Robin is a lame duck. Maybe "least of the problems" isn't the best way to put it but this isn't a f***ed up organization because of him.
