This should be a very interesting offseason. We potentially have some money to spend, we have some important FA pieces, and it could be argued that we're just an upgrade or two away from a well over 90 win team (there's a conversation to be had about whether we were that if healthy this year). We could also let everyone go (FA-wise) and then are a trade or two away from a rebuilding project. I have no idea why we'd try to do a full rebuild when we already have some nice pieces and aren't really having problems with payroll as is. I wouldn't be upset if we aren't really aggressive and enter the season with a team that appears to be .500. This could allow us to take chances on any prospects we want to look at throughout the season and as always we'd be just a couple strokes of luck away from being very good. Gordon Beckham turnaround, a prime year from Konerko, a prime year from Youk if he comes back, etc.

Also 2nd page people going crazy over the offense and saying meltdown etc. already.... I'm happy I actually watch the games from start to end and not read all this during. It's something that happens with the Tampa 2 -- allow a lot of yards (oh noes, not playing well) but make up for it with turnovers. Romo got them down the field a few times with relative ease but always gave the ball away. When you're watching, it's hard to assume that there will be turnovers so you just feel like the D isn't doing well.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2012 -> 08:18 AM) Not only that, we are talking about your 1-2-3-4 hitters all battling injuries down the stretch. but choke!!! don't ruin the angry story!!!

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 11:03 PM) Thanks for the ammunition, Bears... tomorrow's going to be a good day at work for me... f***ing Cowboy fan b****es will be crying... All the Cowboy fans around me are just acting like the Cowboys are great, its just Romo's fault. I'm sorry, Romo is not that bad. The whole package is lacking and this game would have been rather different if Dez Bryant didn't suck ass.

Driving on us late

anddddd the time where I care about baseball is getting very short

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 08:36 PM) Oh Cutler being a douche bag, what a surprise. Week 4 and the QB and off. coord. aren't talking. Great. That could easily be an example of placing a narrative on top of video. If it was anyone but Jay Cutler, that clip doesn't mean anything. Only in the world where Jay Cutler is an asshole does that mean what that means Anyways, go Bears

Stop with the singles!!!

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) Amazingly all of our runs driven in today on singles. Swinging singles we are. We've always been a single oriented offense, I'd say Just oftentimes we'd hit singles over the fence

Meanwhile, got a fantastic outing from Hector today.

Dayan is walking like nobody's business

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 01:07 PM) Just think...six months from today, Royals at White Sox. 0-1. lol

I'm in the market for some nice headphones. Sick of my iPhone ear buds, though they're better than much of the $5 crap. The reason I don't like on-ear is because the headband always messes up my hair

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 09:22 AM) Adam Dunn leads the league in walks and somebody complains that pitchers don't pitch around him. I give up.

Ignoring what I've already said about trying to get anyone to understand Ozzie's speech and the craziness that would be leaving Ozzie unfiltered for three hours at a time.... You have Hawk who we believe has too big an ego for Steve Stone, who also seems to have a rather large ego. So you replace Stone with....OZZIE GUILLEN? Ozzie has the biggest ego on the planet and it is costing him everything already

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 09:35 AM) it's bridging the gap these days. the tricky thing about doing it at home, is it requires either bands or adjustable weights. the weights are expensive, but just work better than bands. so many people use the bands their first time or two through, then want to graduate to weights, but don't have the $300+ to throw down. That's where gyms come in. And some people just like a gym atmosphere better than home. I'm big on having separate spaces for everything I do, so I understand the gym atmosphere sentiment. My bed is for sleeping, my desk is for working, my couch is for relaxing, etc etc

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 18, 2012 -> 03:25 PM) Did anyone watch Revolution? I have it dvrd and am going to give it a shot when I get home. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 11:34 AM) Revolution is looking more and more like Jericho part II every day. I heard something about one of the episodes being named after and/or filmed in my hometown in Central IL? Anyone catch this? QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 10:04 PM) Brickleberry was pretty decent. Looks like a one season show to me.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) Plus you can't fill a hole by creating a canyon. I don't trust this organization trading affordable everyday players (exception Adam Dunn) for prospects. You still need people at the ballpark. Only Bill Wirtz was excellent at alienating a fan base. Let's no go there. Yep. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 04:55 PM) I don't understand why so many are against tearing this up. A middle-of-the-pack team is nothing that inspires anyone This isn't the NBA. Finishing just outside the playoffs is not bad news -- it means you are only tweaks away from being where you want to be. We're an acquisition, unexpected big season, good luck, etc. away from a playoff run

lol

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 04:16 PM) You assume a GM will take the salary. I don't consider it likely I really wouldn't be shocked if he hung it up

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 04:16 PM) Maybe the Sox don't want him back? That would also surprise me since one must think we're trying to make the playoffs next year.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 04:14 PM) Rays at the Cell next May 2. I can't believe we'd get outbid by the Rays

lol I really hope O-Dog goes deep again

I have to think this isn't the last we see of AJ
