Buehrle>Wood

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 11:22 PM) I just want to see the Iowa State/Illinois game I've been clamoring for. At this rate, llinois wont have enough players to field a team by then.

He forgot to add in the sox fans on their high horse who feel the need to shout from the rooftops they don't hate the cubs and neither should you.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 10:01 PM) Jake Arrietas season will when all is said and done hamper the rebuild. The cub will now have to pay him upward of $20M next season. He is in essence the first big signing of the off season for them. Not certain where their payroll is headed but Arrieta seems like an expensive gamble. His increased inning load screams arm issues next year. 20 seems like a lot. I'd say 15 tops. He's not quite David Price. But yeah I bet he's going to blow out his arm, if he hasn't done so already

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 01:08 PM) I think this team could look very different next year and I'd hate to break it to everyone but if you want to acquire major league position players, you have to give up something in return. There isn't team in baseball that has a messageboard full of fans dying to acquire Frankie Montas, Tyler Danish & Courtney Hawkins. Our message board isn't dying to acquire any one specific prospect either. Mostly because they're underexposed and and unknown. That's the scouts jobs to come up with those names.

Castro would have to be a pure contract dump. Couldn't give up anything valuable for him.

I'm all aboard the Upton train. A few months back and I think the though was that he would definitely get more than Cespedes. Cespedes got thrown into the spotlight and the rest is history. Targeting Upton day 1 while the rest fight over Heyward and Cespedes would be my play.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 08:21 AM) Maybe they just think he's uncoachable? They're right. A young position player coming here and succeeding clearly is not listening to our coaches.

B and B have no idea when it comes to the Sox. That's been clear for years.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 10:44 PM) http://www.theonion.com/article/steve-bart...ubs-curse-51655 Oh man I'm crying laughing at this. But seriously bad idea onion

What's with wrigley booing the mets? Really?

Fowlers last ab in a Cubs uniform

Haha that line was awesome. "This series had nothing to do with Billy goats, back to the future or anything like that. It was one team out playing the other in every facet of the game."

Don't take advice from littlehurt

Hey guys I actually put the money up.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 07:13 PM) Murphy make like a tree and get out of here? What kind of sign is that? Stupid back to the future reference.

Frank owned him that whole post game show.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) Lucas Duda homers today. And Murphy doesn't. Bet those home run props If you insist

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 12:16 PM) http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/10/chicago-cu...y-goat-nlcs-mlb God I hate them. They also invited the actor from rookie of the year to be there tonight. Got to keep the image of being a sideshow franchise up.

That would be absolutely awful.

Yeah I'd be on the phone tomorrow trading Schwarber. Castro too, but they can't unload his contract.

ND stadium is worst stadium I've ever been to, aside from maybe early 2000s version of Wrigley (and wrigley is still bottom 2, don't get me wrong). They desperately need the renovations.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) Would anyone really be surprised to see Samardzija have a good-to-great year with some NL team next season? I'm fully expecting it to happen. In the nl? Sure. Anyone could.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 09:06 AM) So let me get this straight, Robin Ventura's managerial winning pct. of .458 is ample proof he is a terrible manager, and no one but the White Sox would ever hire him again. And Manny Acta would make a decent bench coach hire and potential Ventura replacement despite his .385 winning pct. in 3 years in Washington and .446 winning pct. in 3 years in Cleveland. No one is really that excited with it. But it's the right move now that we've backed ourselves in a corner. Instead of going out there and finding a proper replacement, we retained Ventura and instead have to find someone who will be an assistant and maybe, just maybe get a shot at being the head guy. This is the candidate pool you get left with. If Acta replaces Parent and Ibanez replaces Baines that's about as good as I could see the staff changes going. But getting rid of Ventura still would have been better.

And if they don't end up a top 4 seed, their pet project should be fired after year 1. Well, garpax should be fired too but that won't happen.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 12:29 AM) Considering Buehrle had something like four cortisone shots throughout the season and is not on the playoff roster, I think it's safe to say Buehrle is not healthy or he'd be out there pitching. He said he was healthy. Doubt they would have pitched him the last day of the year if he wasnt.
