QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 04:59 PM) Good move, but they still need one more big bat. We'll see how SS shakes out, but I'm good with Saladino's glove if he's the guy. But yea.. DH with LaRoche and Avi leaves alot to be desired. If the sox are in it, I'm sure Hahn will address that come the trade deadline.

Holy crap our outfielde defense just improved significantly. Might actually have to take this team seriously now.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 08:05 AM) Tate vs Holm should be pretty great though too. Great call. Did not see that coming. I actually had a feeling Diaz would win.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 08:10 PM) And like we all expected, Q is giving Fleischmann-Teuvo-Weiss a spin, and they look good. Anything to get Desjardins off that line is a win.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 10:39 PM) Seabrook had 4 points. He had 3. (Assist was given to Toews)

World Cup Rosters are getting announced today. https://mobile.twitter.com/MarkLazerus/stat...026763563397120 Anisimov and Panarin were named to Team Russia. Teräväinen was named to Team Finland.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 09:54 PM) That was gonna be my response. Everytime Q would put him back in the lineup, it would just grind my gears. IMO he provided nothing to the table hockey skill-wise. At least John Scott was entertaining at times. I remember being at a game where Carcillo scored a last minute game winner and I was just like, "Good job, you son of a b****". He was twice the hockey player Bollig was... or Mashinter currently. But yea guys like Jackman, Torres, Cooke, etc. can stay far away from the Indian head.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 09:37 AM) Yeah, Lawrie at 2b scares me. I still believe sox were better off with Sanchez there and upgrading the SS position. Been saying that all winter.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 04:42 PM) If Alshon does absolutely not want to play here, I'd take the 2 first round picks for him easily. I hope a GM is dumb enough to offer sheet him.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 08:08 PM) And he's not even going to Rockford, he's staying in San Diego. I think he was on veteran AHL deal where an NHL has his player rights, but the AHL team controls his services in that league, sort of similar to what the Wolves do. Good. He's terrible.

The pussification of America continues...

Kris Versteeg to the Kings. I wish him well. I'm sure Ladd will be looking forward to playing against one of his best friends in hockey.

Weise really turns it on in the playoffs. Can't wait to play the Kings. (If we do of course) He and Lucic do not like each other at all. Also very classy of Kruger to give Ladd his #16. The people in Chicago with Ladd jerseys are definitely the happiest.

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 05:58 AM) i wouldn't. while having Ladd back, and it is nice to have him back, he is still a rental. Kruger might be as well (RFA). He (or Shaw) is probably gone next year. Gonna need a new contract.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) So is Ladd going to take 61? I would hope Kruger gives him his number. This is different than Versteeg/Roszival since Ladd is the veteran guy here. (And more popular with the fan base)

Cubs are freaking loaded. Was saying all winter I don't know why they don't play one of, if not the best defensive RF in the game at his natural position. Cubs went from below average to above average defensively with just one move. Incredible.

They're in the same position as us. They need defense to back up their pitching. Still though, Carrasco, Salazar, Kluber and Bauer is one hell of a front four. Brantley is better than any of our outfielders alone and Lindor is the friggin goods. Still have weaknesses though just like any Central team, including Kansas City.

McDermott is dunking his ass off.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 08:04 AM) In the new BP, one of their writers wrote a break up letter to WAR. It was pretty interesting. His jist was WAR is still good, there is just some things WAR cannot measure like leadership, that he thinks is important. It was a pretty clever letter. There's a reason Rollins can be had for a minor league contract. We all know it. But, what does it hurt to see what he's got? The cost is right. At the very least, it keeps Saladino on his toes this spring. Maybe Rollins makes the team and does well. Maybe he makes the team and he sucks. Maybe he doesn't make the team. We will see, but there is zero harm, and perhaps being around him in the spring does the younger guys some good. Great post DA.

So this happened last night.. https://youtu.be/9K_5WW6Rh50 Wonder if anyone has ever seen (or done that if you played) in a game before. If anyone doesn't know, that's Craig Smith of the Predators. He once lifting the puck up and out of play. Seems like that guy has a habit of missing tap ins.

Oh Kenny...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 08:18 AM) I wonder how long we will be without Rozy? Better be 0 games. It was a terrible call.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 19, 2016 -> 12:43 PM) Sorry to hear that. He was crazy as hell but I liked him while on the Sox. People forget how good of a player he was. Would be very valuable in this era than he was when he played. Pretty much the 90's Ben Zobrist.

Did not see that hookup coming from the Walking Dead. At least not that soon..

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 21, 2016 -> 03:32 PM) Don't see the correlation between crossfit and making contact with a baseball but hope it helps. Lets just hope it increases his bat speed.
