QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 03:46 AM) The incident with Puig happened in a night club so we all know the joys of alcohol. I mean geez, a fight in a night club, go figure. you know, i feel like a hypocrite here. when Kane got into that b/s, i was soooo adamant on not saying anything against the player, but now i am calling puig and chapman idiots. i don't know. i got to think this one out.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:43 AM) Yeah Sale is much better than Buehrle but Buehrle was still loved here and very consistent. Plus I loved that Buehrle's starts would be around 2 hours (went to a game once that ended up being about an hour 40 mins haha) he was a bull dog and didn't take s***e when he was on the mound. just like sandy koufax... edit... i really like pitchers who has an edge... last yr with kc sale and yeah even shark. man i can't remember the pitcher who told ron karkovice to take his fat arse back to homeplate. he is pitching this game.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:39 AM) No offense to Buehrle, but from a pure talent standpoint, I believe that Sale is much, much better. I'd go as far as to say that Sale is one of the best pitchers to ever wear a White Sox uniform. be careful there.... know your sox pitchers and sox history. with that general ref there would have to have some stipulation and parameters to make an list of who qualifies. but i am like you at this time. he is a true #1 elite sp.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:37 AM) I still have this slight hope in my mind that Sale could be a White Sox lifer, but I'm not counting on it. It'd be awesome if it happened though. same here, it like have always wanted mark burlhe to be a lifer.... money and shortsightedness on the owners.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:34 AM) Maybe if they could re-work his contract so he makes decent amount more each year the remainder of the current contract and then bought more free agent years on top of it. He has no reason to do them any favors though. no offense, but that i do not believe will happen. he will get his money... if he waits and no raises. starting at 30 mil.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:30 AM) If Hahn did plan on extending Sale, what kind of contract would he give him? 7 years and $150 million? start off on 20, 23, 28, 30, 33.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 03:20 AM) First Reyes, then Puig and now Chapman. Who's next? i know .... that crap is sooo freaking stupid. no one on the family side can get someone that stupid. ref to puig, i still think drug and or steroids is also involve.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 03:11 AM) I just try to follow the college and HS seasons as best I can go get more familiar with names and potential picks. Joshua is the one I would look for updates from. Dude really digs deep on draft prospects. I'm looking forward to mid February when the season gets started. I miss Baseball already! ido too. i am getting withdraws .... i started to think of looking up some sCrubs fan site to get more updates..... then i woke up... what a freaking nightmare that was.

i bet everyone at the winter mtg is going ape shiite on this news .... with complete astonishment.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:16 AM) I have not lue but I'd bet the Dodgers are looking in a different direction for a closer. I wonder if the Dodgers would have interest in Robertson. is any felony or gun related incidents.... i believe it is a felony. this has no recourse esp if the girlfriend wants to chg her mind. that is the law of the land. now it might be said, he was cleaning his gun, but at the moment of the call or when the cop come in, the stpry tjat is told to the cops is the story that will stick.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:12 AM) http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2015-trade-...-the-full-list/ Fangraphs has him as the #1 pitcher in trade value, followed by Archer, Cole, Gray, and Bumgarner. Quintana is the 14th pitcher on the list. and in my biggest opinion, i really think the sox should start of extending his contract for an additional 5 yr and pay him and tie him up. Q is 14.... i really didn't see that one coming. good for him.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:10 AM) No and I don't really see the point. yeah you got a point, there would be no admittance for fans. stupid idea. many thanks.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:08 AM) Sounds like Hahn didn't like the offers on the table. I like it, there's no need to trade Quintana unless you get the right offer. exactly, they think they can low ball the sox and hahm .... fuvck them....

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 03:08 AM) "Rick, Andrew Friedman on line 1 for you." exactly...... that was what i was thinking.

has anyone ever gone to the winter meeting????

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 03:03 AM) I just finished reading that bit about Chapman. Those are serious allegations. this is the DA's job, i wonder if charges of attempted murder will be thought of .

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 02:55 AM) Chapman may have just thrown a wrench into the works, domestic incident at his house where he allegedly fired 8 gunshots and choked his girlfriend and the trade will be on hold. hello white sox, ... is robertson avail???

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 01:22 AM) Snatch was great. in that first week in the xmas holidays, i went and saw it 3 or 4 times, i took friends and family.... my family didn't get into but i laugh. the yr before i went to england and took my family, and those cab drivers are mostly traveler / gypsy and there was no way i understood them.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 01:08 AM) An exclusive form of a catch-all, for those Sox related quotes that truly don't deserve or behoove an individual topic: well i am glad he is working, i really would hate to see the sox money being wasted!!

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 05:05 AM) Exactly my point. Did a guy like him deserve to be surrounded by crap for that long? No. That's why Hahn needs to do something and make sure that Sale's prime years don't go to waste either. Nothing would make me happier than to see Sale pitching game 1 of a playoff series at the Cell. but the powers to be, meaning his bosses, will they allow him??

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 01:13 AM) Agreed. It seems like there is a HUGE gap between the talent levels on the team. Like you said, there are a few guys that are absolutely elite and then the rest are terrible. that is what pisses me off, i keep asking myself, how was i so wrong last preseason when we made that poll on how many wins the sox will have. ??? i sometimes get really lucky and see things the right way, but this, i was totally lost.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 01:14 AM) Statham was hilarious in Spy. "I think you're hiding that Face Off machine from me!" have you even seen the english movie called snatch??? it is not a porn movie. it is sooo funny and i think that was statham first acting movie.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 6, 2015 -> 09:44 PM) Good read and insight by Hostetler. Unless something changes it does not sound like the Sox are likely to sign free agents with comp picks attached which I'm fine with. I'm looking forward to 3 picks in the first 2 rounds in a what's supposed to be a deeper draft than '15. I pay pretty close attention to the draft in the last few months leading up to it but never noticed the money disparity between the picks in the top ten. man i missed this post, nice read and i can't wait for your updates on the draft. i actually might learned something. and i am serious, i really hope the sox do not sign anyone with a comp pick and i really do not want the sox to trade Adams.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 10:23 PM) Dan Hayes seems to think there is no way they go after Upton i was really thinking of doing a mini rant on why the sox should sign him and how the org is narrow minded..... then i thought better of it.

QUOTE (bear_brian @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 11:22 PM) One would think that signing Jacob Turner to a $1.5 contract might mean they would be thinking of him as that backup pitcher. Wouldn't that make sense? big time. i know the org can not anticipate every little thing, but this team is lacking players and just assuming that no one will get hurt or that all will perform as expected is being limited in their thinking. latos is another vogelsong is another
