2017 NFL off season thread
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 05:52 PM) Absolutely pathetic... I'm too lazy to look this up, but would love to hear if anyone knows who the four players are. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Kyle Long. Kyle Long, Matt Forte, Kellen Davis and Earl Bennett. Which is funny because Kellen Davis is one of the worst football players I've ever seen.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 04:52 PM) Anyone else looking forward to Mass Effect Andromeda when it's out in a couple of weeks? Very much so, cautiously optimistic about it, loved every other game in the franchise.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 27, 2017 -> 10:47 PM) Did you really get it a day early? I'm surprised they can do this. Yep, got in a few hours last night. Amazon has a habit of doing this, probably because they have to ship 2 days before release in order for you to get it on release day so there's a possibility of the USPS delivering a day early, I imagine there are no controls once they hand it off to USPS.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 27, 2017 -> 03:02 PM) This is also a game I plan on purchasing. I haven't had much time or energy for games lately, I dove into Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 but haven't been able to commit to much else, mostly playing indies here and there but Horizon is right up my ally and so far so good, its absolutely gorgeous and tight as hell, this is the kind of game that sucks me in. Between this and Andromeda later in March this is the most ive looked forward to games in awhile.

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.

2017 Video Game Thread
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.

New Banner
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.

New Banner
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.

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.

New Banner
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

Report: MLB Plans To Test Extra-Innings Rule Change In Lower Level Min
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.

Rangers have increased pursuit of Q?
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.

Rangers have increased pursuit of Q?
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.

Rangers have increased pursuit of Q?
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.

Rangers have increased pursuit of Q?
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.
