QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 08:07 AM) The White Sox are not getting Robinson Cano. Might as well close this thread too because nothing of substance will come of it either. Bet that's a word that the Sox or whoever else sign him for eleventy years (and whatever ass dollar amount to go with it) will be hearing often before the deal runs it's course.

Kyle Orton sighting in Dallas? Most excellent.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 12:39 PM) Chili, I think Yeezus really works best when you listen to the entire album, not just individual songs. This is such an important concept, and I find it incredibly frustrating that more and more people seem to disregard it entirely.

Why is Mariano Rivera retiring after this season if he's still capable of performing at a high level?

1-0 Sox. Revenge.

Dunn has a nice curveball.

This will be the game thread. Phegley drops a ball.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 04:44 PM) Soscia got a lot of mileage out of that '02 WS and the fact that he routinely beat the Yankees. I think he's great at handling a pitching staff, don't know how he and Coop would jibe. Coop would fix him.

1 teen arrested, 1 at large in beating death of WWII Vet Everyone is probably desensitized to idiotry like this at the rate it's being reported by your favorite news source, but this one in particular really irked me. Dude was a World War II Vet who took a bullet for his country only to have two s*** birds repay him by beating him for a few bucks and leaving him to die in a parking lot at night. Really makes it seem like that the pain and sacrifice he made went for naught.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 21, 2013 -> 03:40 PM) something to cover those fugly faces. Right size wrong shape or something along those lines.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 16, 2013 -> 06:57 AM) So A-Rod's people leaked the documents implicating Ryan Braun & Francisco Cervelli? Maybe that lifetime ban idea wasn't so crazy after all. I read that John Lackey had some thoughts pertaining to this. He's starting against NYY tomorrow- would the umpires preemptively warn both benches?

Singleton was brutal at the very beginning, but there was some good progress made before he left. I hear him once every so often on Sunday Night Baseball, and he's not bad at all. Still, I hope this just means he's coming here to call a game on behalf of espn, and not that someone from one of the booths is being replaced.

Coop will fix 'em.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 13, 2013 -> 10:10 PM) Alexei just wants the Sox to get the 1st pick Probably more effective than a good number of scouts in the organization when it comes to building for the future. Selfless.

Ed Farmer dropping names (Kid Rock).

I just hope Stone sticks around. I'm not familiar with the terms of his contract, but I remember that there was some speculation this past off-season that his time in the Sox booth is short.

QUOTE (champs2005 @ Aug 12, 2013 -> 10:50 AM) Just seemed like a loose and fun broadcast. I think that can (largely) be attributed to both teams being a combined lolwtf games out of a playoff spot. It was a bummer to see Brenly leave the Cub booth for that reason. Still, I like Blylevin - he's pretty good at his job. In the past I've found myself watching Twins games on mlb.tv even if a more relevant game is on.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 11, 2013 -> 02:42 PM) Prime.

Good couple of days for Morneau.

Almost a bit surprised that I haven't yet stumbled upon an article speculating that two blown saves in a row are just Rivera being a good teammate and trying to take the spotlight off A-Rod.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 8, 2013 -> 01:10 PM) Stone has been making it very clear in recent broadcasts that Garcia isn't coming up until there is a full-time spot for him. QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2013 -> 01:15 PM) There is, CF

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Aug 8, 2013 -> 11:45 AM) Ah yes. The movement we've all been waiting for. BM

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 12:39 PM) Can't wait for Sunday: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/954400...on-breaking-bad The other good thing about Sunday is that Shark Week mercifully ends. It's a holiday on my calendar.

Excellent. So enjoyable to watch Rivera blow a save.

I'm 100% behind a push for the #1 pick, but it's fun to watch this from time to time.
