103 mph screwball

Guys I'm losing my mind or I'm being punked, but that says CHI SOX Well played if it is a joke.

When it is all over and everyone has celebrated or cried, I would love to see all of the Manny Machado threads merged into a MEGATHREAD! than brings the internet to it's knees!

I just wish I knew when the decision would be made. So I don't hit refresh all day. If it is 19 days from now, so be it.

Positive news or bad news?

If we get both I will buy an Alonso jersey. Like everything I have heard and read about him.

Thank you! Every time I saw Update in the title of the other thread, I had to read it closely. But then I would be disappointed because it was an old updated that needed to be updated.

I have finally figured it out! Click on your name just below the search bar. The choose ignored users. Then it gives you an option to add someone. just thought I would share.

NUKE CLEVELAND!! Dear NSA,FBI that was a reference to an old member who used to say that before playing the Indians. I, in no way, endorse or have any knowledge of nukes!

I just hope I can get the games on charter. Or I hope they get rid of blackout restrictions and I will get mlb pass. I was hoping for something I could stream.

Not a lot of new information today. Hopefully things still look positive.

I’m guessing Mr. Reinsdorf knows what his TV offer is now and he knows what it would be with Moncada and Harper. If the math works, Sox will get both. Not an expense. An investment.

Probably bad luck on my part. Every time I would see him play he stunk. And I think he lost a game against the cubs. I just didn't understand why people liked him so much.

1. Royce Clayton (by far) 2. Nick Swisher 3. Adam LaRoche (Drake) 4. Tony Graffanino (many like him. I don't. except when he played for the Red Sox) 5. Todd Ritchie (trade)

1. Carlton Fisk 2. Frank Thomas 3. Mark Buehrle 4. AJ Pierzynski 5. Paul Konerko Players special to me. Jose Valentine, Tom Paciorek, Greg "the Bull" Luzinski, Alexie Ramirez, Tyler Flowers (gave my kid a ball), Scotty Pods, Tadihito Iguchi. And I'm stopping here but many more.

I prefer if the Sox strikeout on free agency, they strikeout swinging. Alonso is a potential 2 WAR player that could hit 30 HR. And if they are going for Machado, then swing the bat!

That would be awesome! It’s available in Birmingham, Charlotte, and Winston Salem. Plus you can just stream it! That would solve my problem by the Wisconsin border.

Also, exactly what the Sox would want their competitors to think

Exactly what the Sox world want their competition to think.

I I have not forgotten them! But I think Tony Bernazard came first. And I think Law replaced LaFlore. But again from my old ass cottage cheese memory.

So Sox don’t try, they are cheap. If they do try and fail, they are jokes. I’ll take my chances on being a joke.

Thank you for the correction on LaFlore. Honestly I was going from memory. I was 10 years old. I still remember both signings. It was exciting! Stolen bases were fun! Carlton Fisk was and is my favorite player ever. Spotsvision was an absolute dismal failure on many levels. It was before it’s time. I choose to be optimistic that the Sox are going for bold moves.

It won’t! But it WILL make it more difficult to explain to his wife why he is turning down the higher White Sox offer.

Disclaimer: do not let this get your hopes up too high. Absolutely possible. And I think they are doing their best to make it happen. Jerry Reinsdorf was a pioneer in cable sports TV. He signed free agents Ron LaFlore and Carlton Fisk before the 1981 season. In 1982, Sportsvision was started. It was before it’s time. But Reinsdorf is an excellent businessman and television pioneer. Now, today I imagine the television offers are not overwhelming. What better way to create a buzz for a new contract but to make the biggest free agent splash in history! The money is not only there, but it can be seen as not just an expense, but an investment. Tell both players you want them both as part of your plans to become a winner again. Then blow them away with highest contract offers. Hell sign them BOTH on the same day! Make it a media circus!

i wouldn’t choose a job just because my best friend worked there. But if they paid me 25 million more and hired my best friend to show me how much the value me as an employee...

He would also want to win though. Machado would help him win. Harper would still have brand.
