QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 07:32 PM) Yeah but now everyone in the division is good. The Stars are 9-2. Nashville holding serve. Blues are always dangerous. Blackhawks looked completely outclassed against Winnipeg. maybe so, all they need is to gets these youngins playing time and experience..... make the playoff at whatever seat and playoff time is a whole different animal.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 04:04 PM) Mark Lazerus ‏@MarkLazerus 1m1 minute ago #Blackhawks send Bryan Bickell to Rockford, recall Marko Dano. Go crazy, Twitter. holy cow..... i really didn't think they had it in their pants to do this move. i really stand corrected....

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) With the Keith injury and their difficulty to gel so far, I'll admit the thought of digging an early hole and missing the playoffs has crossed my mind. a great topic.... i have been waiting for someone to broach this topic. i too was very concerned for the same reasoning, but i have been looking at the prospects the hawks have waiting in the wings. while loosing Keith is a huge blow, i like it b/c it give the next wave of dman playing time at the highest level and will give them an a idea of what they need to work on. however Daley and Rundblad in the lineup ...... that is hurting me.

QUOTE (VAfan @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 02:08 PM) I agree with this. Keeping Robin has pretty much sapped any enthusiasm I would otherwise have for this team making moves to get better. What I would do instead is try to increase the value of what we have. Keep LaRoche and hope for enough of a bounce back to make him tradeable at the deadline. Same for Alexei. Give Avisail another year to see if anything is there. But play Thompson ahead of him in the outfield. (I'd use Garcia as LaRoche platoon partner.) Trade Robertson to the Nats, who really need a proven closer and have lots of prospects. Move Montas into the pen and groom him as a closer. Put Erik Johnson into the rotation for a year to increase his value. Sign the best option at 3b who doesn't cost any picks or tie you up for years. Let Micah and Sanchez duke it out at 2nd again. Keep all picks. i think we all agree that 3b is a priority that the sox will address. after that, who knows. i would like the sox to address in a long shot, the outfield, move Avi to DH and platoon with laroche. then get a SP. the sox needs the ability to win games and there is 2 huge question marks in my book........ Danks and whether it will be EJ or not, the #5 sp. the staff has talk about how great the catcher is with Flowers framing and all. so, who knows.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 01:12 PM) I don't see how the White Sox can make enough moves to make us that much better. Plus we still have Robin Ventura calling the shots. We're going to waste another year of good pitching by fielding a bad defensive team. Smh we're doomed. you make a great point. but re Robin, nothing will be done, plain and simple. esp when the management came out and gave full support for him coming back next season. i just don't know on what the sox off season plan is and how much or what are they planing of fixing.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 02:42 AM) IMO it's a big offseason because they had a big one last offseason so can't have a sign Jeff Kepp and lets get to '16. We have holes, while I know we can't fill them all, so we have to make some moves and be aggressive. The creativity I'm thinking about is getting an impact bat without moving Q or Anderson, and Montas. I could see getting Upton or Cespedes. I just don't see us breaking the bank for Heyward (my pipe dream). i am torn on the trading or not trading. i can see the sox not trading, b/c at the end of the day, that rotation is knockout rotation only missing 1 sp. but with the holes in the team, i really don't see the sox spending too much in the FA pool. it is not like them to go too deeply in spending, only spending within a limitation.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 02:06 AM) Hahn has said the Sox are looking for a 3B and they are rumored to be on the lookout for a catcher too. DH is a void no doubt but I've begrudgingly accepted LaRoche will be with the Sox in '16 so I leave that void out since there's literally no chance the Sox just cut him. Just gotta ride it out for one more season and hope LaRoche can give the Sox more than he did this past season. The Sox can definitely use another arm for more depth at SP but not sure if that's a good place to spend money with all the positional needs. 3B, C, SS, 2B and RF all under-performed in '15 so any kind of upgrade in any of those areas would be welcome. Hopefully Hahn will get creative and solve a few of the problems so we all can have a better outlook on the '16 season. you have very good logic in your reasoning. it is not what we hope but what the sox org will do. then it is 3b then cat, then as you posted. i really don't know what to expect from the ss and 2b.... then i think we can safely say with MJ in the wings, 2b is covered..

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 02:24 AM) Regardless of what Olney says, Cespedes will get a big contract and the Sox still have more important needs. Signing or trading for another outfielder does nothing to help the voids at 3B and C. If the Sox were to somehow trade Melky or Avi it would make a bit more sense. a voice of reason, but i wouldn't know if that is the order thats needs to be address. for me, i really see a major need in everyday players who position is needed for hitting, like 3b, dh, and the team can deal with a weak hitting catcher if needed, but it the opportunity is there. then yes address the catching position after getting another sp. so in order 3b dh, sp and sp.

i just saw the movie Sicario with Emily Blunt. it is, was a very powerful and griddy movie. it kind of remind me of the movie Thirteen on how it was filmed. i think i just became a fan of the director. great acting across the board and esp from one actor whom i really don't get into his acting. Del Toro stole the film with his great acting. word is they are making a part 2 with Del Toro character. i recommend the movie.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 1, 2015 -> 05:36 PM) Kane has no good reason to chase after this in civil court unless this was completely made up, but I think there was at least minimal substance to it to get as far as it did. If Kane goes to court of any form, a whole lot of details will get made public, many I am sure he doesn't want out there. If Kane doesn't get charged, he walks away and let's this die. i agree with you.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Nov 1, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) Northsider: Who do you like most, Engel or May? excellent question.

just got back from a H Party.... i saw one of the funniest thing on tv there. one couple was showing Britain's Got Talent.... just got to give this a shot. hope it hasn't been posted already. fast forward to 2:00 enjoy.

there is a fine line in regards to the evidence and the integrity of it. but still, the supposed victim can pursue this in civil court. i really think and this is me who insist on hearing all evidence first when all this first started, i am going to go out on a limb and say they have no case. now, does it mean anything for Kane to go after them in court..... Goliath going after David. would you pursue this if you were Kane???

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 31, 2015 -> 04:00 AM) Im telling you the role they are telling him he needs to play. They arent against sending him away. not with that contract.... no one wants him.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Oct 31, 2015 -> 01:19 AM) Engel is easily the most impressive CWS prospect in the AFL, 5 SBs to go to an awesome offensive statline, Glendale's catcher Andrew Knapp is an interesting trade target for s, AA catcher with some pop and a solid bat, he's in the PHI organization jammed behind Alfaro now, should be available i like this info.... many thanks

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 30, 2015 -> 05:47 PM) I think the last 15 years has shown that's pretty debatable. An all out war? Yes. Military action generally? No. fair.... good point

ok for those who love films.... i need some help i watched a movie 2 yrs ago. it was pretty bad editing. it centers around a serial killer and takes place in a hospital a guy wakes up from a coma and 2 patient seems to be around him.... later the patient is the serial killer and needed to get to this conscience and get some info on a group of people he has jerry rig with explosives. the ending shows the patient in some demonic kind of self unkempt hair/beard/nail..... now the movie was pretty bad on how it was film but the premise had a lot of possibilities. any help on the title of the movie.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 30, 2015 -> 05:31 PM) Watch the Thai version of Shutter. then i was wrong about the country. i thought it was japanese. btw, how did you like that ending???

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 30, 2015 -> 05:37 PM) FYI the hawks dont have to send anyone down yeah i know and many thanks for that help. really. there may be some who didn't know this. but i and just thinking that if anything, bick will not be sent down. that is b/c of his contract. btw.... how many players can the hawks have up and in the press box without sending any down.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 30, 2015 -> 03:10 PM) Yes, absolutely. You have one person versus hundreds that require a shutdown. And he has the power to tell all of his agencies to stop providing services, stop enforcing laws, stop investigating crimes, stop prosecuting cases, etc. etc. Oh and he commands the entire US defense system. Congress can cut funding, so in an indirect way they can do the same in theory, but it's much harder to do. on what you wrote including the bold, it still takes the act of congress to approve the move. also congress will need to overcome the president ... but that will need a % of vote to do that.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 30, 2015 -> 04:43 PM) Hawks call up Hartman. Don't get the move unless this a trade is on the horizon or this pushes Bickell and Desjardins out of the line up to replace them with Teuvo and Hartman. i don't know.... i am really confused by this move. first i suspect that the hawks will not send down a 4 mil player to play or buried in the minors. second, Tevo is struggling??? are the hawks trying to get that 3rd line engaged in the scoring or being a solid line? ref the your idea of playing both while benching bick and desj.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 30, 2015 -> 05:02 PM) I thought about the Conjuring but I've never seen or heard someone consider Se7en to be a horror film. you got a very great point, that was were i was torn as i was with Nightmare on Elm street and Sixth sense with the same idea. i just wasn't too sure of who one would define it. i was confuse as well. many thanks
