This isn't even the second or third best team the US could potentially send out there, particularly on the pitching side. Right, definitely not a fair comparison there. I'm happy for everyone that has taken a liking to it this year but it'll never be something I'm in to.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 21, 2017 -> 08:01 PM) lol, Micah having a little fun on twitter: @TimAnderson7 hate to do this to you but remember I gave you that ride to the field in Low A in 2013? Can you venmo me that gas money ? That's good stuff.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 21, 2017 -> 10:09 AM) Why don't you just be a man and admit that you were directing it at Little Hurt? Because I'm afraid.

This isn't aimed at you littlehurt but holy damn I'm tired of hearing about Gordon Beckham every time Anderson is talked about.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 21, 2017 -> 08:50 AM) Wow, could be a steal, could be a mistake. We have no idea. If he is as good as we think he is, it will be an amazing deal. I mean it's 25 million over 6 years, I don't see how this can be a mistake at all.

Cool.

I'm just chiming in to say that calling A ball players schmucks is super funny and cool.

I'm a big fan of Anderson as not only does he have the tools but he's proven to me that he has the mental toughness to be a successful major leaguer. It's definitely super early to lock him up but if the Sox are sold on him the way I am then I'm all for it.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 20, 2017 -> 10:34 AM) @CSNHayes Tim Anderson out of #WhiteSox lineup for 3rd straight (1st was planned). Not an injury. Was told nothing to worry about. FREAK OUT

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Mar 19, 2017 -> 10:19 PM) The ACC is trash. 9 teams in the tournament and only 1 in the sweet 16? You can't discount a whole season's body of work because of a one and done tourney. It's fair to say that maybe the ACC was a bit overrated but trash? That's just not true.

God I hate Kentucky

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Mar 19, 2017 -> 01:47 PM) I'm thinking of starting a go-fund-me to put a hit out on the singer and everyone that wrote/shot/had anything to do with the DirecTV March Madness commercials. Anyone else interested? Every year there's some commercial that just makes me want to hurt everyone involved with it.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Mar 19, 2017 -> 01:43 PM) The lack of rebounding too. They've given up a ton of offensive rebounds in the first two tourney games. Definitely.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Mar 19, 2017 -> 01:39 PM) How is Michigan that good? They're an elite offensive team. Eventually their lack of defense will probably catch up to them but so far so good.

Look at Soxbadger busting brackets and knocking Brunson out. What a jerk!

I was going to say that he's probably not the splash you guys wanted but he's a damn good coach so congrats. Also...thanks for the inside info Soxfest!

I've said it before on here but I f***in love DJ and Farmer together. They're so stupid and ridiculous that it's incredibly entertaining to me. I'm a big DJ fan.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 17, 2017 -> 12:39 PM) So you are saying every coach tied to Illinois is a better coach then Alford? I can rip on Alford, but he has UCLA in a really strong place. He's a much better candidate (at this point) then anyone UCLA is looking at. I'd rather have Bennett, Marshall or Archie Miller than Alford...yes. Those were the 3 I was talking about.

I honestly think Hawk would do ok with a rebuild as he seems to fall in love with young players. Anywho, hopefully it isn't health related.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 17, 2017 -> 07:56 AM) Entertaining. He tries to explain to fans why something is happening on the field. Too many of the broadcasters that use stats instead of examples try to educate fans on numbers behind the game instead of the game. Personally, and I know I'm old and in the minority, but I enjoy hearing about comparisons of player style and approaches to the game. Granted, Hawk goes overboard but I like it better than the dry professionalism in an entertainment industry. Like 70 percent of him at this point is dead air. Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion but I don't find him entertaining at all at this point.

Good job Vandy. Lolol

The underdog Gophers are having issues hanging with Middle Tennessee.

I'll always love the guy but bye.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 01:18 PM) So far, it would appear that choosing Winthrop as an upset team was a mistake. I started the day off 0-2 with a sweet 16 team gone. That's how you do it!!!

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 01:41 PM) True, but lotta people dream about being the coach of UCLA. Definitely but the connection is there. I obviously have no clue if he'll go there or not but if the money is around the same there's plenty of people who would coach at their alma mater above any other school.
