This is exactly as I imagine it:

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 15, 2017 -> 05:05 PM) A lot of the commentary flowing in is already saying "this sort of leak can get sources killed or entire intel-gathering operations dismantled." Yes but two points: 1) that is always the level that foreign policy/intel analysis goes to even if accurate and 2) there are much larger tail risks that I'm scared of that include war.

I think there is no doubt it was unwittingly. The man wanted to boast and impress his friends about how smart he is. This may end up with small fall out this time, but we will continue to see the chemical reaction of when the most banal of government activities is mixed with the absurdity of his personality ego and ignorance. edit: edited a lot

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 15, 2017 -> 03:21 PM) Nvm, Kemp transferred so they have a scholarship again There are always as many scholarships as needed

He is only signed to a financial aid agreement, so if he does have a change of heart this summer nothing is stopping him. That said, very excited. Decent situation for him where offensively he can develop slowly, but this team got KILLED on the boards last year because of size and just not being good.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 15, 2017 -> 10:37 AM) Jeremiah Tilmon is going to Missouri *Probably I do find it funny that this kid, who behind the scenes has everyone talking about the drama filled recruitment, gives so little out publicly. Glad he is on board, will be more glad if he's on board first day of classes. If Jontay Porter reclassifies after AAU this summer, that is a really nice and balanced lineup. If the guards aren't doing anything, then Porter Jr. can take ballhandling duties, and Jontay is a such a good passer they can move inside out.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ May 15, 2017 -> 10:14 AM) We just all hope he won't turn out to be a stud even though we know the trade was bad regardless. The trade was terrible regardless. It was the natural end result of a team thinking that tinkering around the margins would eventually pay off. But Tatis will be whatever he is. And I am encouraged that our LatAm dept could have finally paid off.

QUOTE (spiderman @ May 15, 2017 -> 09:36 AM) So, in a matter of a few days, Levine reports that a lead/head scout from Washington is in Chicago to scout David Robertson, and the presence of this scout indicated that a deal was close. Now, because the Red Sox and Nationals have made trades with the White Sox, these are the two teams that know each other best.... Seems like Levine likes to draw connections like these to report on possible trades. He is really driving me crazy. He has always been like this, but he is somehow finding it easier to get national recognition for his baseless crap.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 15, 2017 -> 08:08 AM) They should definitely trade for Q. Too lazy to look up thrir SP stats (I have Keuchel and McCullers on one fantasy team so I know how they are doing). Can anyone post the rest? Their starting rotation has been stellar.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 15, 2017 -> 09:08 AM) So Hamilton tickets are over $200 minimum face value? Ouch, we were looking into them this weekend, I did not expect that. I don't think that's true for face value. My tickets were in mezzanine and I want to say $110 each and then some gaudy service charges. Balcony would be cheaper. You can always try the daily raffle. I know several people who received tickets that way. NVM found in this thread I paid $117 per ticket. I want to say it was $280 total after service fees.

Sox fans toeing a fun line of trashing the shields trade and being adament that Tatis is actually terrible and people are just trying to be provocative saying he could be a top prospect.

Garcias? Maybe not, Willy may not be long either. Would be pro switching back to first jinx banner.

He's slugging .712?

Brutal stretch of no days off so yeah Purke is a good guess.

Yeah first post was better.

LOL perfect answer.

Wouldn't it be better just to add something like wSB to wRAA? Does that give too much credence to wSB in that situation?

http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/upda...ts-chat-may-11/ If this is the case, why rank him?

I think this series will be well attended. I hope all have some nice baseball to watch.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ May 12, 2017 -> 12:00 PM) Any reports on how this went? I'm sure they'll just say he felt fine afterward. Not sure we are going to get a lot of info. Hahn seems to be meeting with media once a week so maybe next week.

C is pretty lol but also true.

Was there ever talk of Adolfo trying 3b?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 12, 2017 -> 07:58 AM) Odds seem pretty good that Trump has recordings of White House meetings. I appreciate that he's sticking to history in this replay of Nixon. "He" better hope he "doesn't" Did I do that right?

I don't want to be hyperbolic but is Kahnle the greatest white Sox pitcher of all time?

I think Steve may be kompromat.
