QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 07:17 PM) 90, 5 games behind Detroit for the WC. Would have been the 2nd WC had such a thing existed then. Such a damn shame too. Not saying the sox would've won back to back, but they would've been a very tough out with their experience.

Already causing problems in the clubhouse I see.

Fleener is probably gone. He is their version of Shea McClellan it seems.

Jennifer Capriati is pissed.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) Jordan Bastian ‏@MLBastian 5s6 seconds ago Indians offered similar salary range as WSox for Jackson, but he preferred Chicago. CLE would've needed to go much higher to convince him. Hey, playing for the Cubs did some good for us. I like Eaton doing whatever it takes to win too.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 03:37 PM) I think you misread my post. I was complimenting you. Ah ok. I was just about to post this. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...114&st=1620 I edited my other post, but thanks again for the compliment Steve.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) Here is an example of a bandwagoner who was a great "get" for the city of Chicago. SoxAce knew nothing about hockey, admitted it, and then learned so much that his knowledge of the NHL easily eclipses mine as we type here today. He's a baller. Never claimed I was a master of any sort. Tell me something. Go back to 2010 when the Hawks won the first cup on the NHL thread. Who was the poster who cited you, Tony, Krush, DBAH0, etc. who were the die hard fans? Yea it was me. Your other post was spot on before you put this crap up, but I did watch it a bit in the 90s when Amonte was around. Just didn't like it enough to follow it. Ah crap misread Steve post. My bad bro. Thanks for the compliment.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 01:16 PM) So was Holm. And Holm dominated Rhonda. It wasn't a close fight. Holm also did a lot better against Tate than Rousey did against Holm. Flat out, if Holm isn't getting a rematch(again, she was winning that fight big), then it should be Holm vs Rousey to see who the #1 contender was. Holm should blame her manager for costing her essentially 8 figures. If she would've waited, she would've fought Rousey again. But I do agree with you that should be the matchup. It was just a very poor managerial decision and case in point, her manager is new to the business.

I still wish Avi played LF. There is no way he can possibly be any worse than Melky.

What I like (and hope) is with Eaton and Jackson maning the OF, you can hide either Cabrera or Garcia since both are terrible.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:19 PM) Do wonder if this creates LaRoche / Avi platoon, or if Avi still gets plenty of starts in the OF and Melky to DH more often. I'm honestly kind of hoping Melky sees more DH time. He's actually been WORSE defensively in LF. Crazy how much of a pass he's gotten over Avi by fans.

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.
