i have never understood buying the Jersey's with the present name on it. i always thought that it would be a waste if the player was traded. why not get a Jersey with an old timer hall of fame player.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) This video is pretty awesome. you know what would have been a great commercial. the new all stars on the ice and something for some reason having the older stars there. Gordie, Bobby Hull, Bobby Orr and etc.... have some vocal exchange making fun or the other style or something.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 07:25 PM) A six man rotation for the whole season is too much rest, I think. There is a fine line in workload for a pitcher. I think guys like Samardja can handle it. Guys like Sale and Q need a break. You can't treat them all the same once they've shown you what they can do at the MLB level. and i agree, i am saying in and around the ASG to start this. damn even give the main 3 sp a week off in aug. maybe i am over thinking, but this team...... i wish i really can explain what i see in the team potential.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 07:23 PM) So are you suggesting that we occasionally skip their turns in the rotation and give someone like Scott Carroll a spot start? yes and even that may not help much. there is no denying the dog days of summer, the late july and aug months. this team management has to think about this, this team is capable of doing something special. lets not screw it up.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 07:08 PM) Pretty sure that someone is Davidson if he gets his s*** together if he can hit avg 240+ with his power, it can be what he is saying. again trying to pull the wool over our eyes, by implying that the sox are looking. instead of saying that they are hoping that Davidson can rebound and will not spend nothing more.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 07:01 PM) This is the most interesting. I also like to hear that the Sox took advantage of the lost season by seeing what some of these guys were made of. 670 The Score @670TheScore · 2h 2 hours ago Hahn says last year's bullpen was "such a mess" that he gave Ventura freedom to experiment with relievers to learn more about them excellent, nice way to experiment and see what the sox have. good thinking.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 08:02 PM) I remember it, but we weren't allowed to go around much. thanks for the memories.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 08:00 PM) My next "me" purchase will be the green egg or the turkey fryer. I find it difficult to have bbq that isnt smoked nowadays. I have had too much great smoked bbq to turn back now. But I am sure yours are probably really good though. Slow cooking it on low heat and then saucing it on the grill. Thats meat candy right there. there is something about a smoke anything that gets me sick. so i avoid smoking anything.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 07:58 PM) I went to Kanoon (22nd & Kedzie) in the 80's. do you remember the old boys club, i was stab twice there by the Lords. it was in 69 and i was 12 yrs old.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 07:51 PM) I slow cook them in the oven at 200 degrees for about 4-5 hours. and baste them every couple hours with a apple cider vinegar/oil/chili powder mix. Then I finish them on the grill with sauce(usually sweet baby rays). If i had a smoker i would use it, but i dont. I want a big green egg really bad though you recipe sound pretty much like mine, but i use honey and brown sugar. i have several different basting sauces for them.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 07:47 PM) I went to grade school around there. i went to Assumption on Calf and 24th. i live in the housing projects in the 60's and went to harrison HS. what school, there was this great taco place right across cook county jail... oh man. at least when i was in trouble in the 70's i didn't have to walk far to go home on a monday morning release.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 03:51 PM) What I would like to see is one big event in July. Thursday night - Draft first night Friday - Draft mid rounds; celebrity softball Friday night - HR derby Saturday - Draft conclusion Saturday night - All Star Game Sunday - Futures game I like the idea of moving the draft back to allow kids in the CWS to focus more on that experience than worry about negotiating their contracts. You can push SS ball back to start mid to late July and run the season a little later than it currently runs. don't forget all the weekend festival in grant park during the summer.

Hey Mr Hahn and the sox brass. the sox is in need of a good starting pitchers who can provide a backup plan if a pitcher gets injured and / or to help rest the rotation for the playoff....

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 07:40 PM) When GMs say they could "conceivably" do something, it's as empty and vague as a statement can get and it means nothing at all. I could conceivably drive to Chicago right now and go to Soxfest because I have a car and enough money to pay for gas and a scalped ticket, but it's not going to happen. an extremely good well said point. many thanks.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 07:24 PM) Lol no way. I'm not signing a 33 year old James Shields to a 75 million dollar contract well according to the other thread and the tweet. this whole subject of adding a sp is moot.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 06:54 PM) Unless you blame the injuries on Thibs, it is ridiculous to hold him responsible for the team's slumps. They have a roster full of guys who miss a lot of time. IMO, as much as he has been able to fight that off from time to time over the past few years, it eventually catches up to you. no offense, but who are you referring this post to??

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 06:21 PM) Sale, Quintana, Danks, Rodon dang it, that is what i thought.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 06:05 PM) Hahn saying they could conceivably start the season with 4 lefties in the rotation to the best of your knowledge, who are the 4.... thanks in advance.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 06:04 PM) It's funny anyone would complain he was rushed. People here wanted to see him in the 8th and 9th inning and called Ventura a fool for not using him there. look at any of the old threads... i was very hesitant on him being up. let alone being use in the late innings. i thought it was too fast. but last yr was a bad yr, with the injuries and other players not stepping up. this yr, with a great pen, things are going to be way different. cannot use last yr game plan for this yr staff.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 07:00 PM) My mom makes the best ribs, so I will probably ask her to do some of those. I am making Buffalo chicken dip, hummus (two different kinds...green olive and roasted red pepper), and BBQ smokies. you are really making me hungry.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 06:59 PM) Unless you are smoking these you have failed. Fine, crab testicles are delicious when properly prepared. There I said it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 06:00 PM) They also did their usual thing of "slamming a guy into the big leagues". Was a starter in the minors at A-ball, switched to the bullpen, in 2013 got 20 innings in AA, 27 innings in AAA, and that was it for him above A-ball before being in the bigs. nice perfect sentence in describing it.

i guess shields is better than nothing. for me, i would love a sp in the 1-3 yr contract yrs. in other words, short term. this system should be about to turn around with prospects to start plugging in to the rotation.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 05:53 PM) Alright guys, time to start listing what you are making for the superbowl. Ribs are gonna be on my menu if the bears are not playing, i do not care. but i would say deep fried turkey with an order of ribs and sausage.... that should be about right.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 23, 2015 -> 05:31 PM) What the hell is Mexican town? Little Village? for me and all who grew up there. yes.
