QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 08:30 PM) The future is not near and the White Sox should not go for a Santana/Jimenez. Interesting that Garza only got 13 AAV and isn't even tied to draft pick compensation. Santana/Jimenez's camps can't be happy with that. I am starting to wonder if one of these guys get Kyle Loshe'd. It's like some people suddenly don't even want to compete for a few years, thinking it means we are in total rebuild mode. We STILL have a lot of veterans on this team and a lot of good pitchers on this team. We play in a HORSEs*** division. Detroit just lost a Hall of Fame manager and Fielder. We could win this thing if we added a good veteran starter/inning eater/winner and a catcher who can hit. Now if you are saying our defense is so putrid, so horrific, that we cannot compete, perhaps I can buy that argument. But aside from defense, adding a starter like Santana and a good catcher and we should be a contender.

Oops I typed in my catcher take in the other thread before I saw this thread. I guess great minds think alike. We all had catcher on the mind.

Guys, we're getting pretty close to spring training. I think Hahn is done. Only possible move I see is signing a free agent catcher like Buck. I'm assuming Buck is still out there. Personally if he's done for this year I'd prefer passing on a hack catcher. Go with Phegs and Flowers and see if either can play. Flowers stunk royally last year, but s***, we've stuck with other Sox players much longer than Flowers. I could stomach giving him another chance since Becks keeps getting chance after chance and the same with Dunn. I think with all our additions I MAY buy mlb.com again but I think we are still well well well below a .500 team at this date.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 09:29 PM) So the Yankees are paying $175M over the course of 7 years, or about $25M a year if you spread it out evenly...... Good f***ing luck, jackwagons. The lure of the unknown is so ridiculous in sports. 25 mill a year. Wow.

Don't tell me the weather is rotten; I dream of April 1 and baseball weather.

This board has changed a lot in a few years. I love the Bobby love! Remember when I almost got suspended over my Bobby love? People telling me to give it a rest, et. all?

Bobby Bonds would be a star addition; Dan Pasqua would be great; Claudell Washington was the answer; Bobby Knopp would lead the team to greatness. Kidding. Just trying to get my mind off Beckham.

Beckham, please learn how to hit. Thank you.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 17, 2014 -> 08:06 PM) Not according to Paul Sullivan on M&H yesterday. He said the team is leveraged to the gills, and really doesnt have a lot of wiggle room. He also mentioned that the team is asking front office people and scouts to carpool in order to save money, as well as other weird cost cutting measures. That carpool thing is bizarre. If true, I could go on a mini rant again about baseball. A million dollars here and there is absolutely NOTHING when discussing contract signings, etc. One million dollars would have to be TOTALLY a high end figure on how much they'd save if everybody car pooled to work and scouting assignments, etc. Chump change. Just raise prices of hot dogs another dollar if you need the money that bad; they are unaffordable for the average fan now anyway.

1.) Sounds like sinkholes are becoming a major problem. 2.) A few people got on me on here recently for b****ing about the unbelievably cold weather that gripped the country for about a month straight. I made a crack about global warming and people attacked me for suggesting it was not real. My question to you then is: "What's with the f***ing 10 below temperatures all over for a month???" They were real and they were here and I froze my ass off and even had to buy long underwear cause I could take it no longer!

I was at Yellow Sub today for lunch reading a USA Today and came across a good column on how the media is already planning Hillary's easy path to a landslide victory. They said Christie's lies do not deserve this kind of press compared to Obama's lies regarding Obamacare and other matters. The editorial writer said the media is primed to attack ANY and ALL candidates that might make Hillary sweat a bit. What a f***ing joke. The media wants Hillary?? Under Obama the econony is so bad that media jobs are disappearing. Newspapers are all but dead and buried. And these writers NEED to have a democratic president. I ask these writers, WTF??? It's not working for your profession. You will all be out of jobs soon unless you work for a website. I don't see the nation's love for old Hilly. And don't get on me for being age discriminatory. this whole f***ing country is going with young workers so they can pay them pennies. Anybody over 50 is out of luck in trying to find work outside of fast food. Amazing. "Anybody" might be hyperbole, but there's definitely a trend to send the oldies home for good! Wake up media. Hillary is not god.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 11, 2014 -> 04:16 PM) Implying you had respect for Rodman in the first place. I had a lot of respect for him. Outside of MJ my favorite Bull of all time. He was a f***ing stud grabbing rebound after rebound. Perfect fit for the Bulls.

I want him back, but the poor guy should probably hang it up with back problems. I wonder if he could be a good color commentator, though he's already been out of the news a long time and has been forgotten in baseball outside of Chicago I'd bet. Back problems make me cringe just thinking about the pain he'll be having if he starts dealing again.

Bringing back Bobby is no brainer. Just do it please.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 11, 2014 -> 11:00 PM) Zoinks! I screwed up! A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

I've lost all respect for Rodman really have. What a f***ing loser.

I approved but really there's no real reason for him to stop right now. The team is taking shape to be better than last year, unless the defense remains horrible, which is possible, and if the new guys for some reason can't hit a lick. But with some payroll flexibility remaining and still some bodies that might be tradeable, it'd be nice to see him acquire a catcher of some magnitude and a second baseman who can hit, assuming Semien isn't ready for another year. We need to upgrade our offense some more, assuming the defense is going to again cost us dearly. The general consensus on this board at least is the pitching should be pretty good again.

So happy for Big Hurt, Big Frank.

Ultra Light is not my favorite beer.

Under the radar is how I'd describe Frank Kaminsky

Poor poor Chiefs fans.

Some lady talked me into getting an Am Express/Delta sky miles card at the airport. I was in a weak moment where I had 3 hours between flights and she trapped me. Before I knew what I was doing I was signing up for the fricking card. I got the card in the mail and don't want the card. It's free the first year then 50 bucks the following year. Should I cancel it or just never activate the card?? Thank u.

I can't believe the Chiefs blew a 28 point lead in a playoff game. Wait, yes I can believe they choked that away. It was the perfect storm of injuries and ineptitude both.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 5, 2014 -> 01:15 AM) Oh snap. If anything good comes out of Konerko watching a lot of baseball this year from the bench, he'll probably know if he ever wants to manage someday. If he's healthy I don't think he's going to be doing a lot of watching. He'll hate it and the team will hate it. I predict if he's getting as few at bats that many of you think he'll be getting, he'll retire at all star break IF team is out of the race already.

Regarding all the Paulie posts. Am I the ONLY Sox fan on this message board who actually thinks Konerko could hit .275 and blast 25-35 home runs if he's healthy? You ever heard of a comeback season?? I stand by the fact that except for his slow feet on the basepaths, he has not come close to embarrassing himself (like Fisk did at the end of his career). He still hits the ball and fields the ball. HE'S BEEN HURT, PEOPLE. I wish we could dump Dunn so Paulie and Abreu could flip flop between DH and 1B and both get a ton of at bats.
