Interesting rumor since he said mid season that he wouldn't opt out. But that was just the right thing to say at the time since saying the opposite would've drawn undo attention . He will be 31 October 18th. He could get a 4/5 year deal in the $100-150 M range so opting out would be quite lucrative.

Conor had a great interview with Peter Gammons after the game. I also saw an interview with Posey who had this to say about Conor. He doesn't necessarily do it on purpose but Conor always makes us smile.

Lots of ex Sox on the Giants. WC game hero Gillaspie, Beckham, Peavy , Samardzija. Every major Chicago sports team has won a championship in my lifetime except the Cubs. No reason to change that.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) For anyone other than Sale - hell yes... But Sale... For those two alone? I'm not so sure. Benintend I'm pretty sure will be a stud. My only concern with him is how prone to injury he could be. Moncada has at least another year of development ahead of him so I'm less sure how he will pan out but he's immensely talented. I wanted JB Jr when his stock was low because he was always a great defender but now that he has "arrived" his ceiling isn't that high as a hitter.Still, loving great defense like I do it would be fine getting him instead of Moncada . However he has 3 years till free agency and I'd prefer 4 minimum.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) If we can get McCutchen that would be great. No it wouldn't. He's already 29 and he'll be a FA after 2018 . That's 2 years. Any piece we get back needs to be the fulll 5/6 years of control. 4 minimum.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 05:27 PM) I think Sale is long gone to Boston If the Sox could pry Benintendi and Moncada I'd do that asap. Just those 2, no one else is necessary.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 08:30 PM) "Normally I'm not a very fired up guy" I never noticed Yep. Priceless.

Post game interview please be Conor. I'd call that priceless.

The Billy Goat Curse vs. The Even Year Phenomena

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 08:12 PM) Conor f***ing Gillaspie lol He showed a lot of emotion rounding the bases.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 08:11 PM) I knew Conor could be a starting 3B on a playoff team!! Just needed to build around him lol I'm so proud of you all. Not one person called him Connor.

Conor !

So maybe we end up with the Rick and Rick Show starring Rick Renteria and Rick Hahn. Maybe the Sox could bring back Rick Peterson and make him pitching coach. Renteria should have his choice of coaches and is probably familiar with Peterson. I just want the Three Ricks .

Narvaez with his 1st ML dinger !

That's all for Duffey. Nana Nana hey hey hey etc.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Sep 30, 2016 -> 06:09 PM) I don't care that this game is meaningless. I hate the Twins and I will rewatch Anderson's mega self-spectating for YEARS. Don't be surprised if Tim is hit with a pitch in his next AB.

2nd double in 2 AB for Melky followed by Abreu double for RBI # 99 .

Timmy crushes one to LF to score Eaton and himself to make it 4-0 .

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) I'm only not going to rage about this if they decide to sell this offseason and 2017 becomes a punt-year anyway. Then it doesn't matter WHO the sacrificial lamb is. This was my thought when reading so many negative reactions. If the fan base, on here at least, is pretty much in favor of a rebuild then what difference does it make who is managing ? I was one of the first ones on here to bad mouth Robin as a manager, but clearly the onus of the Sox situation is on Hahn, Williams and Reinsdorf. Ventura comes in a distant 4th after them. A change should be made because it is due, hell it's past due but Robin never had the horses to be in the race.

Frazier hits 40th. Miguel Gonzales pitches very impressively through the rain delay going 8 1/3 . Robertson with a 1 pitch save getting a DP ground ball. Sox 5th win in a row after 6 game losing streak. Sox win 1-0.

The Sox are my team, of course I watch them. I watch to see who hits for a higher batting average, Abreu or Melky. Will Frazier get to 40 HR's? Will Frazier and Abreu each get 100 ribbies ? Carlos Sanchez has 3 HR's and a handful of doubles in the last 8 games. Minaya is pitching well. I enjoy when players and the team does well and and don't let meaningless losses bother me.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) It's just rap, pop, and electronic (or whatever Skrillex is classified as) so I don't know what that post meant Actually what I said about not knowing any of the artists wasn't entirely true. I only know Chance the Rapper from his Sox commercials but John Legend, Lil Wayne and Alicia Keys are huge artists and I even knew about Skrillex though I would certainly agree that their genre is hard to pinpoint.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 11:58 PM) That's one hell of a lineup. A little bit of something for just about everyone. An old rock and roller like me finds this statement funny. Caveat:I have no idea who any of these artists are so for all I know there could be jazz, rock , big band and country and classical music represented but I highly doubt it.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 01:06 PM) It would be so White Sox if they come home and go 7-0 for 81-81. Leave 'em thinking you're close to competing. White Sox going 7-0 ? Nah that is really un-Sox like . They can't even win 4 in a row and when they do win 3 in a row they usually followed it up with a losing streak.

So so sad and tragic. A truly amazing talent. Condolences to all that knew him from near and afar.
