QUOTE (Baron @ May 17, 2016 -> 08:23 PM) Ok Hawk is one person...and who give a s*** what his evaluation is There are multiple people who have talked about how much he's meant to the team. I agree with you and disagree with them, but the thought is out there

QUOTE (Baron @ May 17, 2016 -> 08:21 PM) Uh...what did people make him out to be? He was pretty much dead average. Have you listened to Hawk? Those people

That is piss poor

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 15, 2016 -> 03:54 PM) Then don't watch No one will be watching the Sox tomorrow

It's obvious to everyone that Rollins can't hit a heater, yet this dips*** throws him an off-speed pitch right down the middle

I have ST's for the Bears and I love going to games. Someone earlier said they love being at sporting events, and I'm the same way. I watch so many games across the NHL, MLB and NFL and I find myself saying "man, the f***ed up stuff I'd do to be in that atmosphere." An example is how little I care about most schools for major college football yet I try to go to a different game every year.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 11, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) I'd offer Crawford, but they'd have to send back Niemi, Johns and a 1st. I wouldn't. Crawford's contract used to be thought of as "bad." Now, it's a steal. He makes less than Quick, Lundqvist, Rinne, and Luongo. He only makes 100k more than Lehtonen and $1m more than Dubnyk.

1) if NYR is truly ready to move on from Lunqvist and 2) if Lundqvist still has some left in the tank then Mastermind Nill needs to move on from some of his "numerous" young scorers and find a way to land him, because these goalies are just atrocious and embarrassing.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:41 PM) Texas brings the Sox bullpen back to earth. Fathom said it best. Sox should have swept that series and stayed red hot. Robin looks human when the players don't produce. Every manager looks human when the players don't produce

I would have had Sanchez bunt

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) because the guy on the mound is tougher vs righties and the guy on deck is a better hitter. But other than that, who knows So why was he even brought in originally against a LHH? If he's better against RHH's, someone else should have been brought in.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) Huh is right, what are you talking about With a LHH on deck, I'm not sure why you don't pitch around Desmond. Sure, Mazara ended up getting a hit, but it's not the same scenario.

Robin just *had* to pitch to Desmond there, huh?

Hawk says his teeth went through his lips

Frazier dove into the crowd for a foul ball and inmediately got up, glove to his mouth to hide the injury, and ran off the field. He grabbed a towel in the dugout. Sanchez is in for him. Hawk left the booth to check on him

The catch by the bullpen catcher on Lawrie's HR was as good as it gets

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 10, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) Minus the fact that they could hit, made the playoffs and pushed Toronto to the edge of elimination. I think he means that the 2016 Rangers are like the 2015 White Sox

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) If Desmond reaches, I'm thinking Robin brings in Duke for Moreland. Well yeah. It surely won't be Albers. This is Gonzalez's last hitter

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:32 PM) Holy ump show Laz Diaz. Wow. Just tossed Melky Yep, we're all watching for the umpires. Same with those in attendance in Arlington. They can say whatever to the players but they can't say anything back. Good for Laz and good for baseball

Yeah, what did happen to Joey Gallo? What a fall

That ball was hammered

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 6, 2016 -> 09:05 AM) Aruba shouldnt be too hot in March. Cruises are pretty awesome if you dont get sea sick. We never got to go on a honeymoon but we were down to Hawaii or doing 3 cities in italy. Have you looked at Punta Mita? Thats pretty swank and secluded. I've been on 6 cruises and she's been on 3. We love them. We just don't want to get into the habit of going on a cruise every single vacation we've been on, and so far, that's been the case after 7 years. This one just seems awesome. It's 10 nights and we hit 8 places. QUOTE (Tex @ May 6, 2016 -> 09:52 AM) Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. My mom's best friend just got back from there and essentially: if you leave the resort, be careful. I'll pass. QUOTE (shysocks @ May 6, 2016 -> 10:13 AM) Vegas has decent weather in March. It's not for everyone, of course, but if it appeals to the two of you at all, it's a decent option. I live within 1 hour of New Buffalo and Hammond. Aside from the heat, I'd much rather lose $1000 here than $1700 there if you include the flights and hotels. No thanks. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 6, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) Niagara Falls is everything it is made out to be for a honeymoon. I went there in 2010 after the Hawks won it for the first time. I went with my brother and parents. We stayed in Toronto and saw a Jays game. We wore Hawks jerseys and everyone wanted pictures with us. Unfortunately, I want to go somewhere for 7-10 days and there's not enough to do for us in NF/Toronto for that many days. QUOTE (Tex @ May 9, 2016 -> 10:12 AM) Catskills? Poconos? How about the Dells? BTW, FWIW, save money on the wedding and honeymoon and buy a house sooner rather than later. I bought a house in August. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 9, 2016 -> 10:42 AM) Just fly into Maui and stop thinking about it. I appreciate that advice. I may look into it.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ May 6, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) This type of stuff just makes me hate college football. The crimes of Sandusky and the criminal negligence of the men around him is atrocious. Second to that, what disturbs me is the fact that this could happen anywhere in college football culture. The blind hero worship of the rampant college football fanbases across the country are the perfect opportunity for these kinds of things to happen. Child molesters are everywhere. This is no reason to hate college football because ONE time, some sick f*** decided to make a life out of it while every single one of his peers turned a blind eye

I'm trying to plan a honeymoon for next March, but we're really struggling. We fear Aruba may be too hot (like way too hot) although we did find nonstop flights roundtrip plus a resort on the beach for a solid price. We thought about Grand Turk, St Kitts or Barbados but all of those are 2-stop flights and require hours of layovers. Then, we thought maybe a cruise which combines a lot of these islands, but it seems too casual. Hawaii is cool, but Honolulu is essentially Miami minus the extreme nightlife and Kauai is another layover filled trip. Ideas?
