QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 27, 2017 -> 05:03 PM) Thinking about a golf game for the PS4. Curious if anyone has play The Golf Club series, or if Rory McElroy is the way to go? The Golf Club is a real solid golf Sim, I got good run out of it and go back to it often. Fairly realistic physics with solid community content behind it, probably the most realistic golf game you'll find.

I almost never pre-order games unless the pre-release reviews are overwhelming and they are for Horizon Zero-Dawn so I put in my pre-order. I ALWAYS pre-order from Amazon, not only do you get 20% off as a Prime member but the game almost always arrives a day early, looking at the tracking it appears Horizon will be waiting for me when I get home today, isn't supposed to be released until tomorrow, very excited, it looks incredibly good.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 08:22 AM) The new hood ornament looks pretty sweet. Thanks Kal. Jerk. QUOTE (KG#1 @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 10:03 AM) Amazing banner. Love it. Thanks, appreciate it.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 09:49 AM) Is that John Danks blurred out behind SoxTalk or am I seeing things? It is, he makes the best backdrop for the logo for some reason, the Dunn banner also had Danks.

Doug Loves Movies is probably my favorite podcast, latest episode was just absurd and incredible.

Pick one: Q or Moncada

While we appreciate everyone's feedback we've decided to go in another direction, instead of highlighting the exciting young players in the org the site banner will instead be honoring heroes of years past. First up: White Sox legend Adam Dunn, i think all can appreciate his contribution to White Sox history.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 07:57 PM) TCQ in da house. I still adore him and this sig, one of the most vicious homeruns I've ever seen. There's an open $100 bounty to any old timer who can come up with a copy of my sig magnum opus: Flamethrower Freddy, damn thing is lost to time, haunts me to this day.

All yours

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 07:37 PM) I see how the vote is overwhelmingly for the kids ,however those kids will not be White Sox players to start the year. They will be Knights, Barons and Intimidators. Plus has Q ever been on the banner ? I think he deserves it, even if it lasts a very short time ,as a gesture of appeciation for his body of work and professionalism' I love the new blood but it's a White Sox banner so guys who are on the 25 man roster should be on the banner. The kids will have plenty of time on the banner if they pan out. Agreed

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 08:05 PM) oh my, what could have been with Q...he doesn't slam his hand on that bat... *Wall in Cleveland Top 5 favorite Sox player of all time, the flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 01:01 PM) I believe you'll want to message Kalapse. Please stand by, I'm cracking open Photoshop for the first time in years. The new banner will feature the kids.

Extra innings aren't anywhere near the biggest issue with MLB games and pacing. If this ever makes it to the majors it'll be fixing a problem that doesn't exist.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Feb 2, 2017 -> 11:57 PM) Bob isn't guessing. He wrote that Crain mentioned those two names when discussing starting pitching. s***, you're right, I guess I glossed over "Crane says" because that's super forthright from an owner, carry on.

QUOTE (Soha @ Feb 2, 2017 -> 11:35 PM) Suddenly, with a surplus of draft picks, the pain of giving up top prospects for Quintana or someone else could be eased. “We’re hoping that something will break,” Crane said. “It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that ... getting two picks from the Cardinals gives us more depth in the system. We’re still looking into it. QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Feb 2, 2017 -> 11:35 PM) They have been primarily focusing on Jose Quintana of the Chicago White Sox and Sonny Gray of the Oakland Athletics, Crane says. You're inferring, there's nothing explicit in the article. Nightengale is insinuating which is fun but there's nothing definitive here, he's just rehashing the 2 names that have been in the mainstream for awhile now.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 2, 2017 -> 11:21 PM) I missed that quote. Where is it? It doesn't exist, Nightengale simply insinuates on the Sox's behalf as he's wont to do.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 2, 2017 -> 10:58 PM) http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/c...vival/97431050/ Wow. Jim Crain flat out saying they are trying to get Quintana. This is a good sign. Thanks, Bob. Interesting but Crane appears to be senile, I get Chapman but in what universe could Sale's contract be considered 'bad'? He's under team control for 3 more years with $13M in guaranteed money or 13% of what the Dbacks have guaranteed to Greinke over the next 3 years, a pitcher 5 years his senior.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 10:30 PM) Rings matter a lot. nah

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 02:47 PM) What were Rodons catcher ERA splits with Soto like in 2015? Holy hell Brantly: 2 starts, 1.23 ERA, 2 BB, 12 SO, .208/.246/.264/.510, 0 HR Flowers: 17 starts, 2.73 ERA, 49 BB, 98 SO, .234/.331/.341/.672, 7 HR Soto: 7 starts, 9.12 ERA, 20 BB, 29 SO, .330/.444/.550/.994, 4 HR

QUOTE (Donaldo @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 07:35 PM) I've thought the same thing. McNeil was hilarious. It sure was great to hear his voice again. I wish he'd come back to sports radio, but it almost sounded like he doesn't want to (based on his vague conversation with Terry in the 2:00 hour) Will a podcast be available? The whole thing is now up on iTunes, I'm in hour 3 right now. Really great stuff, I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed Mike North, he's damn good when just telling stories and not going for shock value, same for McNeil. Jiggetts is still the man and very cool hearing Terry interact with Ofman again. Rongey's segment made me cringe, I get what he was going for, that's his thing but man, that was a bit much, loved the story though.

Today is the 8th anniversary of the Swisher trade.

Finished playing Inside last night. One of the single most enjoyable gaming experiences I've ever had. It's a puzzle platformer with a beautiful art style from the makers of Limbo, the game mechanics and and story are super cool and it has one of the funniest, unexpected moments I've seen in a game. It's a tight 3.5 hour run and is on sale for $10 on PSN right now, I highly recommend it, probably going to do a second run over the weekend.

Bob Nightengale doesn't just make things up. Even if they're not particularly close to a deal Nightengale floating possibilities means they're actively looking to do something. Also, its been an incredibly quiet offseason across the board. The Sox have been easily the most active team to this point.

3 years $60M. Good for the Indians, hope they kill it this year.
