QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) yeah its the two pound nacho thinggie.. anyone venture into the Bacardi At The Park yet? I'd like to try it out before a game, I like how its open at 11am so you could be completely annihilated by the time the game starts. Man, that picture in your sig is the funniest s*** I've seen in a good while.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) How, again, is Thornton not a closer? His D has screwed him for the second time. His stuff didn't vaporize overnight. Sometimes playing the role of a contrarian can make it seem you aren't watching the game. I mean, really? His stuff may not have evaporated overnight, but it sure as hell evaporated over the offseason. 3 ropes tonight, a 3 run bomb the other day, 2 strikeouts on the season, not may swing and misses but lots of foul balls. The dude is off and I don't know if it's the pressures that come with being a closer or if his arm is wearing down...either way, he's not the Matty we've appreciated the last couple of seasons.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 08:36 PM) I will place a hex on anyone that gets on me for calling JP out for the worthless trash he is ever again. I was really enjoying this game until he decided that winning this game would be a bad thing. I guess Suzuki sucks too for allowing the wind to move Alexei's foul ball away from his glove.

Juan messed up, no doubt...but that was 3 hard hit balls off our closer and I, for one, had absolutely zero faith that Matt would have gotten the third out any way, making the error academic. He looks like absolute crap out there. An 83MPH slider down the heart of the plate to the leadoff hitter was pretty much all I had to see to come to this conclusion.

Didn't get to watch the game today but half of that was because I was expecting us to get our asses handed to us.....enjoy an 85 degree day in beautiful Atlanta or sit on the couch and watch Humber get shelled? I was very pleasantly surprised to see how well Humber pitched today. Granted the Rays pretty much blow at this point but, nonetheless, Humber stepped up and filled that 5th rotation spot perfectly.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 09:13 PM) [Pierzynski] was upset, because he thought I did it on purpose. I told him, 'I didn't mean to do that.' I wasn't mad at anything. The bat slipped. I think if I tried to do that, it wouldn't happen. I spoke to [White Sox manager] Ozzie [Guillen] and I apologized. I called him over and apologized." lopez. ok he may have apologized but no way in hell was it non intentional, when has a bat ever landed there? stupid idiot I feel like a dick for defending Lopez, but I really do feel like it's all good at this point. Maddon straightened him out and now that you posted that he apologized, well, it's all good. He's never going to admit to doing it on purpose or he'd be facing a possible suspension. The fact that he apologized and his manager apologized makes me think there will be no retaliation. Maddon runs a pretty tight ship and is one of my favorite managers...a real up and up guy who, I have to believe, takes care of nonsense like Lopez pulled on his own.

Maddon already said it was a bad move my Lopez. I think it's done, no reason to throw at him.

I'm glad Juan is our DH today....we've had excellent LF defense in his stead.

Due to price and the fact I'm soon looking to move from DirecTV to UVerse, I dropped Extra Innings this year after having it for the past 6 or 7 years. I already miss it. I've found MLBTV to be choppy at times and fuzzy at others. I have a 6MB connection, usually running about 5.5MB, so bandwidth constraint shouldn't be causing these issues.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 05:25 PM) Where does it say this?! Ha! Sorry, didn't read the link just posted the link from FB. It said on FB from Founders that the Cell is getting Red's Rye PA and Cincinnati is getting Centennial IPA.

Saw this on my FB today....Founders Red's Rye PA will be at the Cell http://www.foundersbrewing.com/the-lineup/reds-rye-pa

I've got to admit I found it pretty funny that there was a Google Chrome ad that played before the site allowed me to watch the White Sox ad. An ad for an ad.

Damn...really wanted to see Sale in that role. You don't mess with what works.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 09:17 AM) Milledge was on the radio last night after the game. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/?podcast_url=h...mp;dcid=CBS.CHI For a player who some take as downright arrogant, he sounded very grounded in that interview. I loved the things he had to say about understanding that he's not fighting for a starting role but rather to prove that he can provide a good team with solid depth. I think it's important for a player to recognize their current role and put any past accolades or success behind them...to concentrate on the now....and it seems Lastings is doing just that.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 06:50 PM) If he hits like this, he can play LF over Pierre. Better yet, RF over CQ.

Sale. Matty is good at what he does, leave him there. And I agree with the dude who mentioned Sale having much stronger secondary and tertiary pitches...Thornton is pretty much a "here it is, hit it if you can" kind of guy with very little deception. I don't like that trait in a closer, personally.

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Mar 6, 2011 -> 03:47 PM) The Bulls' second unit is the tits. Best 2nd unit in the league. Absolutely. I love how you can have your second unit in against the Heat's big 3 and the Heat could do nothing with that advantage. The 2nd unit D is just phenomenal and has been pretty damn consistent all season long.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) The White Sox got more love from MLB Network than anybody when they featured the team on the doc series The Show. And Rod Allen is a tool and they were laughing at him because he was such a homer listing the Sox behind the Tigers. The reason? Allen went on to say the bullpen. He said Sale (4 saves last season) and Thornton (8 saves last season) have NO closing experience...way to be informed on national TV, buddy. Allen is one of my favorite color guys to listen to on Extra Innings....he knows the Sox well and he is always very complimentary. But I suppose it's not much of a surprise that he'd be a homer in front of a national audience.....that'd be like expecting Hawk to rave about the twins...errr

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 12, 2011 -> 12:50 PM) I voted for Danks, but if we're going to ask who is the best at their job, it would be Thornton. I had voted for Thornton and did indeed use your rationale. There's really no one else on the team who consistently goes out and fills his role as well as MT.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 04:09 PM) Yeah Jaime you and your husband are genuine hypocrites. Vick SHOULD HAVE walked away after being ambushed by that "reporter" with the pics. What is he supposed to do, stand there and argue with him? Okay I understand that he and his wife has a problem with what Vick did. But to wish that Vick gets hurt on the field? Buehrle and his wife should know better. They are very fortunate that Mark has never suffered a severe injury. Damn I really hate that this came out. I like Mark Buehrle a LOT less after today. I'm almost at the point where I wish he would f*** off and take the next thing smoking to St. Louis and the Cardinals. Hopefully this will die down, but as of right now - f*** Mark Buehrle. So it's wrong for Mark Buehrle to advocate for Mike Vick to get hurt playing in what is essentially a blood sport because Mike Vick wanted dogs to get hurt/killed in blood sport? I'd disagree...that seems pretty fair to me.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) I would think every team in the MLB would be after or inquring about this guy (or at least make an offer, trade a guy to make room for him, etc..). It's Albert Pujols for gods sakes. Absolutely....I feel it's completely irrelevant what 1B teams like NYY and BOS have....this is Albert Pujols....the greatest player in MLB and one of the greatest of all-time. If you can get him, you get him...figure out how to shuffle the roster later.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 11:51 AM) I wake up to work at 5 every day. Today I woke up and heard Mulli and Hanley say that North Ave. from 59 to 355 was unpassable. I got excited because that's the route my dad and I take to work, but I didn't fall back asleep because my dad told his people that we would have work today. So we shovel the driveway all the way to the street, which hasn't been touched. He tries the street anyway, gets stuck. We're about 10 houses from the entrance to the subdivision shoveling in front of the car till we get to the mouth of the subdivision. Some guys helped us out along the way with their snowblowers, so bless them, but when we're 4 houses from the end maybe 2.5 hours into it the city plowers make it through the subdivision and effortlessly clean the street. Wow. 2 people bothered to show up at work. Why would your dad possibly insist people come in today? I don't think it's a matter of people not "bothering" to show up...it's that they couldn't show up.

Thanks for the link.

I couldn't find anything on the official site so I probably already know the answer to this but do the Sox have weekly tours of the Cell?
