QUOTE (bmags @ May 5, 2014 -> 07:04 PM) ugh, I knew this was going to happen. Nobody is going to talk me down from the ledge on this. We are going to keep getting "good reports" but a delayed time table and then suddenly we'll see "Sale out for season, getting surgery" This doesn't feel too far off.

Are the OS rosters ready?

Kinda sad but I'm already thinking about the fact that he can opt for arbitration when eligible, that will put a damper on the $11M AAV that every baseball reporter in America is throwing around right now. He'll make $10M in his 3rd year, given that he's guaranteed only $10.5M in his 4th, he's a lock to opt out and go for a big pay day in arbitration if he's anywhere near as badass of a hitter as we believe.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 12:33 PM) That's not exactly how it works any more, it's difficult to impossible to project how many days it will require to be a free agent in 2020 at this point because the super-2 deadline is based on the numbers for all guys who are called up and qualify. Super 2 has nothing to do with his free agent status. If a player qualifies for super 2 then they're arbitration eligible after 2+ seasons and get 4 years of arbitration instead of the standard 3. It has no effect on when they become a free agent, it's still 6 years of service time until free agency.

This is super exciting, you guys.

Second Son is awesome.

So I got me a PS4, I picked up Tomb Raider, pre-ordered Infamous and will wait patiently for MLB The Show. What else is a must have?

Killed the second half of a Pipeworks Simcoe Ninja bomber last night, so so good. Still have a sixer of Ale Asylum Bedlam (Belgian IPA) in the fridge I'm excited to try. We're in a golden age of beer right now and living in the midwest we have unlimited, super fresh options at our disposal, best take advantage of it.

I thought I was a pretty fantastic troll but I must say, Marty is superior.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 17, 2014 -> 05:27 PM) Well being your favorite player and all, it does not surprise me that you are as knowledgeable as you are about him. He's dreamy, I've been rocking his jersey shirt since before it was popular.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 17, 2014 -> 07:12 AM) You know you done f***ed up when you get Kalapse out of hiding to post. I have hot Podsednik takes.

Scott Podsednik was a terrible baserunner, people complain about De Aza's baserunning but Podsednik was the king of making outs on the base paths. In 2005 Pods made 46 outs after reaching base (23CS+14PO+9OOB).

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 07:19 PM) Batman's sidekick. FWIW, I thought it was cute.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 03:28 PM) Frank is pudgier now too as opposed to a s*** brickhouse of muscle. heh, s*** brickhouse.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 01:27 PM) Epic fail on Whitesox.com not having Frank there already. He's up on the A's and Blue Jays' sites.

Awesome

QUOTE (onedude @ Jan 2, 2014 -> 03:04 PM) Justified starting next week. The promos are getting me pumped. Michael Rapaport looks awful, should be a fantastic villain. Also love that this could mean expanded screen time for Dewey Crowe.

It was weed and painkillers.

Briggs was cleared by doctors. Full participation today.

Mine was way prettier.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 04:37 PM) I think we go with Sale-Quintana-Danks-Johnson-Paulino now but the problem is that it is LLLRR... I really don't think this is a thing.

The Rowand worshippers are gonna nut when they see Eaton play.

Jeremy Schaap is the same age now as he was a decade ago, there's like an Instagram of him on a cloud somewhere all like wrinkling and s***. I do miss papa penis.
