I'd rather him go to the Cubs to stick it to the Sox, but Boston will be fine. He'll win there and love it as Sale does.

He needs a do-over. Those tweets assume anybody cares about the Sox. Yeah 20 or so diehards on a message board are furious. Big deal.

I didn't even know any fans were complaining? They can't be referring to soxtalk. Twitter isn't exactly ablaze with anti Sox posts. I mean the Sox are totally insignificant to a country and a city it plays in. Kind of dumb to tweet that. But I still love Stone. He should have praised Jose. The fact he didn't shows he's a company man which is fine. Again, I love Stone.

Just to get rid of those two guys, but I see your point.

Makes sense. Dombrowski knows a key addition when he sees one. And forget about Jose coming back in free agency. That will not happen. Good for the Red Sox. They get a heckuva addition in Jose. Professional in all ways. He'll be a postseason terror.

Yes but was that a four game sweep was my question.

Question: Would you be OK if the Sox moved to Portland and we immediately got an expansion team? Jerry owns the Portland team and we get a whole new franchise. He demands it's the Portland White Sox so we have to rename the team the Chicago Barons or Chicago Fire Trucks. And our new owners announce immediate plans to build a new ballpark in either the most accessible suburb to the highway or on 35th and Shields in the parking lot which was the old stadium property.

Thanks for looking that up!! And the advanced stat lovers do believe in lineup protection! That's one of the tenets of advance stat-dom. What do they say to that?? True I love Avi and Davidson, but hardly anybody else on the board does. THANK U!!! Avi forever.

Bummer won't be dealt but Colome to the Yankees or Dodgers, I say the Yankees. Cmon Hahn get somebody good. How bout a 3 for 3. And instead of money considerations make the Yankees take Jon Jay and Nova both. They can release them like NBA teams do after trades.

That lineup actually may be better than the Sox lineup today. Considering they had Robert.

This is not hyperbole question. Considering how pathetic the Royals are, was this four-game sweep one of the five most embarrassing series in Chicago White Sox history? Somebody should be fired tonight. I guess since it was on the road, maybe not. If it was in Chicago, for sure. I still think it could be one of the worst series in franchise history.

I keep hearing from peeps that nobody hates Jose on here; nobody is against Jose. I dunno. The anti-Jose sentiment (to me) is growing on the board. Lotta negativity regarding a class act, Jose Abreu. I love u Jose! And I love Vile! Great posts. Vile still seems like my alter ego! I love that Jose ripped the front office. The front office wants to lose; he wants to win. You can't win with the stiffs that pervade our roster. Thanks Vile for looking that stuff up! Jose fan club baby!

It's pretty weak when some peeps on here assume Jose is gone after one tell it like it is statement. If they are so sensitive they can't be criticized I hope Jose blasts the front office and Jerry so badly on the way out of town. Caveat: I'm assuming you meant jose is gone cause he ripped Hahn. ... any chance the Cubs or Brewers want him? I'd like to see him close to Chicago.

Sounds good to me. Having the lay of the land is good in the business world. Sounds like a fine deal.

U think it's because it's been remade so many times? Wasn't that No. 3 A Star is Born? I respect your take on Cooper's talent.

OMG. He as I recall was really a disaster in the short time he was with the team.

I do agree with that. People that love the Sox should inherently be friends, not enemies.

One positive is they haven't brought up Paulo Orlando yet. That's going to be a fun day if Jay and Orlando are in the same lineup.

That's a pretty good point. I didn't think about that about why fast guys aren't stealing bases, but you probably are right. Not cool and could pull a hammy on the plant and take-off.

It kind of slays me the usual negative reax when players speak out. Not saying it's happened here except one poster, but for some reason fans tend to blast guys who rip the front office. Remember when George Bell complained DURING THE PLAYOFFS about playing time? That was an all time joke.

Wasn't Ynoa the guy who couldn't throw a strike? He was a real gem.

Jack, what's your take on Bummer? Nobody's really commented on my repetitive take that Bummer will NOT be dealt. He's a perfect White Sox to the front office right now. Young, very cheap and with team control for a long time. There's no way in hell they'll flip him. I thought this was one of my better takes.

Advanced metrics led to the age of tanking which I am violently opposed to. You still shouldn't call people names. This is no longer a political forum.

I haven't been watching. I'm assuming he's been letting some grounders to his left escape down the line and being buffoon-ish on some pop ups. He's usually OK to his right and fair on digs.

I will give Hahn credit for not boasting much when we hit .500 that one day and were a game or two behind for so long. It's like he knew he better shut up cause this was coming and our descent to crap was just a matter of time with this roster. And to be fair some injuries.
