QUOTE (Dunt @ Feb 24, 2016 -> 03:47 AM) Through 4 gamesc Ray is hitting .733 with 3 HR and 13 R well i am extremely happy about his fast start. i was coming in to post my opinion on Corey Ray. yeah the mock draft pro's are a little apprehensive on his hit factor. yeah as they say, he is extremely raw with a potential 5 tools and great upside. but in the past, he struck out too much, in a ratio with hits and power. this kinda of reminds me of the profile of c hawkins. i may be wrong, esp in the memory considering hawkins. profile. i really like to keep an eye on him as the season continues.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 06:08 PM) From what everyone is saying about Gods of Egypt, far worse than San Andreas...epic failure. i don't know, SA was horrible, with a horrible plot.. as far as the movie mummy series it was entertaining. but i can understand how some may not have liked it.

QUOTE (aryzner @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) They love turning a non-story into a story as long as it includes the White Sox. well at least the sox FO has a built in diversion of not getting a OF'er.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) So there's an article in the Tribune about it and WGN talked about it today.... where do they stand on this??

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 03:01 PM) According to Levine they offered more than 2/$17 million for Fowler. someone said it yesterday, i bet it was the 1 yr opt clause. either way, the games are around the corner.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 02:33 PM) That's not very nice. You take back that comment about Rios. Do not blaspheme! I will admit that Rios still plays much better defense in RF compared to Avi. Still, no thanks. go and lock yourself in the citadel, the barbarians will be at the gate soon. yeah, i just posted that for shiiites and grins. i feel in a silly arse mood this morning.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 02:24 PM) Same here. I would prefer a one year deal but would be willing to add a second year option, if necessary. That's as far as I would go. yeah like a performance clause. but his agent will not allow that. that's what happen with span.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) I couldnt disagree more, Max Mad was a nice Sci-Fi flick but it lacked any depth whatsoever. Spotlight and Room were tremendous. i agree in with the spotlight and the best director, i guess something can be said about leo movie, on the director keeping them acting without a lot of dialog. but i still have to go with spotlight. best movie should have the best director. but i really enjoyed the room, spotlight and trumbo. mad max was ok.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) I think that Mad Max should have Best Picture and Director, it's by far the most well crafted film of the year, great premise, wonderful editing, thought provoking subtext and great performances. How did the Revenant not win, if it won Best Director? lol, i guess it one of those things that poster / people will have a difference of opinion.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 05:26 AM) Well, there's Michael Keaton on the stage of the Oscars ... again, as one of the pieces of a great movie. Just give him an Oscar for once! Birdman! Wow. This current movie on the scandal ... wow! Even fricking Beatlejuice!!! And Batman. I love Michael Keaton. i know, i made a oscars post, but i decided to delete it, i was not going to stay up and watch it. my movie won. spotlight. excellent ... excellent movie. however the movie Tumbo is equally great. i don't know, Leo won in best actor ... i just can't see it. the Brie won best actress. that was a tough category .... well deserve.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 06:39 AM) I really don't understand why it matters. Just because he's a white athlete he can't talk about equality? Fairly certain it was all in reference to the whole Boycott the Oscar's thing. A lot of public figures have talked about it, why can't he? i for 1 am in agreement. that is or this is the confusion of the whole tweet. how is it a racist remark ??? prove that, then there is a case, if not, it is BS.

interesting article on mlb trade about the break down on a jack. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/02/find...in-jackson.html per the article, i am looking at him in a different light. if the sox were, and i do not believe so, but if they were interested in him. i can see him as a 1 yr. however i can see his agent trying to get the max yrs for him.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 05:06 AM) I admit that I'm probably higher on May than most but I do keep in mind that he's still young, moving up to AAA for the first time and needs time. Awe hell, let's just trade Avi + for a LH OF bat, sign Freese to be LaRoche's platoon partner and be done. or rios as an of'er and move Avi to dh and platoon.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 04:33 AM) Fields defense looks good but his bat leaves a whole lot to be desired. I'd take my chances with May over Fields any time. really nice. i had to look up the newly players on the team. that is were i saw fields name. i am just looking at what the sox have internally.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 04:37 AM) Good grief. Well, before this thread gets shut down I just want to say RIP to Eddie and hope for the best for his friends and relatives. http://www.northjersey.com/news/funeral-se...ering-1.1519429 classy .... well done.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 04:38 AM) Apologizing then will be perceived as an admission of guilt. No matter what you do as an athlete, you're going to be open to interpretation or those with a political agenda when you have words on a screen and no other context for them. If it was said in the tone of "why can't we all just get along?" it would lend itself to a different frame or reference...not joking exactly, but more irreverent humor. Versus..."white people are always being forced to justify their actions/awards are not considered based solely on merit" way of looking at things. at this point, he is in a no - win situation. damn if you, damn if you don't. this time, i feel sorry for him....

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 04:15 AM) I still think the Sox trade for an outfielder so who's left? Bruce, Jennings, Ethier, Crawford, Guyer, Gardner, one of the Astros outfielders. I'm really curious to see if the Sox stick with their desire for a LHB or are they open to a RHB now that Fowler is signed. I still cling to some hope for Jackson but I get the feeling that the Sox are thinking 1-2 years for Jackson while Boras/Jackson are looking for more. I'm just guessing here and really have no idea if the Sox even have interest in Jackson. The price might still be high considering the Rangers had a need for a RH OF bat and signed a career SS to play LF for them and they gave up a pick. With Boras reputation, I wouldn't be surprised if the price is still high. Which leads me back to the idea of the Sox trading for an OF or (gulp), stick with what they have. Unless the Sox genuinely feel Jacob May could be ready to be the backup CF at some point this season. i never thought of that ... interesting thought process. how bout Daniel Fields-cf the sox got.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 05:02 AM) Adam EatonVerified account ‏@AdamSpankyEaton Hope everyone sees me as a person that loves anyone and everyone. I'm sorry if I upset anyone. Didn't mean anything by it. My apologizes... pretty unnecessary i agree but for those who are upset, i hope this ends it. what it ends..... i do not know.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 04:10 AM) I'm sure the Score will try to make it into a big deal, as you have Rongey and Julie DiCaro commenting on it already. geez someone will always have an agenda to push.

if that is all he said, how can one see anything racist in that comment, unless someone is saying that nothing is being taken for other ethnic cultures. i will give way to other posters opinion.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 03:56 AM) link to his account He deleted whatever the supposedly racist tweet was, but people are really mad at him for it. Did any of you see it? until i see what was said, i will treat this as a no news.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 03:34 AM) Then why do you throw a temper tantrum anytime someone disagrees with you? If you really believe it is OK for people to have different opinions, then quit getting mad that people have different opinions than you do. It does work both ways. nice pm.... how do i throw a tantrum...... just b/c i will dispute your, the generic your, comment, b/c i do not agree with it??? define this tantrum of how one throws on an internet forum??? show me, and until you can, i will say you are making things up. as far as i am concern, i am done discussing this.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 02:08 AM) I think the changing philosophy the last two years is a big change. Besides what do you consider the lack of results? If it's not making the playoffs, nearly every ownership would change every 3 years. I think the change with Rick Hahn as the GM shifted the philosophy of the team and he needs some time to implement the change. Last year I thought he built a good team. The players didn't play to their capability. I also think that they have a pretty god team this year and are building in the right direction. I also agree with another poster that if they are under .500 this year there will be a manger change because they can't fire all of the players, although Hahn tried changing 1/2 of the lineup this year. excellent post, i am in total agreement. my main counter, not with your post, but the general opinion. the pitching, the main core is prime for something special, they need to supporting cast to make it real. i just hate to see this wasted, b/c of some minor money that the owners could pony up. the rewards will be sooo rewarding if they took that step.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 02:07 AM) Hahn has yet to field a winning team...this version has to prove he can field a competitor. He hasn't done anything special with the farm system either. He's a great negotiator but has struggled with major league talent evaluation so far. while i agree in some respect, i also disagree in some sorts as well. but as i said, i really like to get your opinion and see how you are thinking. many thanks for that. no offense.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 01:43 AM) Yep, shame on them if they think Shuck can be the replacement out there. Also a little perplexed at lack of platoon partner for LaRoche. Just hope Hahn has a plan cause the current projected roster makes no sense. only from a money point of view. QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 01:46 AM) He isn't, but he's better than Avi for sure. i am in agreement and i hate to say, this is funny.
