Yay can't wait for another offseason for him/the org to make excuses that he wasn't healthy during the season.

Any chance at Dave Martinez? Surely he knows he's got to get out of Maddon's shadow.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 11:43 AM) Interesting. I don't see the point with three days to go and an expiring contract. Why not just not renew the contract. It was out in the media this am that he was gonna be gone so they probably decided on it now.

Yeah I've been to 15 games and barely remember seeing the hr derby thing at. Rain could explain it, I don't know. That said I wouldn't be surprised if they do something to it. No way they'd tear it down but a repackaging of it rather. Itd be cool to turn into a giant bar overlooking the whole stadium but I guess we got enough of those, especially if they plan on doing something big with the 2nd level bar. Kids still need something.

Yeah hopefully that happens. Wwe desperate for a Hispanic star and I think Carlito could be it as long as he doesn't get lazy again.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Oct 1, 2015 -> 11:20 PM) Interesting... Wonder what else could be done to change the look? I like the look of the new boards. I'll miss the old school pinwheels, but the Cell is in need of some modern technology. They strayed away from promoting the fundamentals deck this year. Wonder if that'll get changed up. Theve also been promoting the little known left field Miller Light bar lately. It's pretty cool up there as is, but wonder if they put like a full fledged restaurant up there. There's definitely room. It's a ton of dead space right now outside the balcony seats themselves. Although I do know it's primarily an event hosting deal.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 1, 2015 -> 10:30 AM) Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 came out and is an abject disaster. I've watched some reviews and glitch videos, and I'm astounded Activision even decided to release this game, let alone charge the full $60 for it. Not that it would be good at any price. How disapointing. Was rushed because the rights to the franchise expired like this week.

That also means he's getting an extension. Lollllll this franchise

Um he looked safe

What was alexei doing there? Was he mad?

Thompson with 3-0 green light apparently.

Don't really get op. They aren't closing dmvs. They're stopping workers from going to satellite offices that they don't own to begin with. DMVs aren't even the place where the give the voting ids out anyways

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Oct 1, 2015 -> 09:30 AM) Average age of Hawk, Stone, Farmio, DJ and Bill Melton (CSN shows) is nearly 66 Hard to see how this is a winning strategy to cultivate younger fans. Hawk has to be one of the best guys to do that.

Get that rbi abreu

This sounds absolutely amazing. Incredible size. Really surprised by this out of nowhere As someone who will end up going to 20 games, probably the best move of the offseason already.

Tie gameeee

What a play by sanchez

Mike LOLt continues to be just awful

QUOTE (Dunt @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 12:01 PM) So Carson Fulmer didnt make the SAL list? Lol, ok. He skipped SAL. That said he is clearly better than our prospect who made the Carolina league list so I dont know what's going on there. Guessing he just didn't qualify or whatever.

Farmer is just the absolute worst

QUOTE (Dunt @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 10:31 AM) My big question going forward is do the Sox keep Trayce in RF or move him to CF and have Eaton move to RF? I was gonna say Melky in RF and Eaton in LF. Was surprised Melky has only played 78 games in RF. Feel like he has the arm for it. Eaton surprisingly does too. My only problem with moving Eaton is that you better be sure Trayce can stick. I feel like once you move from CF to a corner on a permanent basis, few end up moving back successfully.

Ratings don't matter because ratings are way down everywhere across the board. This isnt from a lack of people watching, it's from people taking their media in different ways. I saw a show on network tv that only got 3 million views but 7.5 million watched it within the first days of airing. That's 150% increase. Live sports are the only genre that don't see that kind of reflection in the ratings. So when your competition is MNF for raw, you are going to get doubly punished if you just look at ratings. First for all the cord cutters out there, and second for the people who are watching live tv, they are watching sports since storyline shows can always be watched later. It doesn't mean you have fewer eyes on your product though.

So is the Southern League just a prospect haven right now? Anderson seems really low otherwise, although being a AA league it might be justified. Spencer Adams seems very, very low for low A.
