QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 19, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) Part of me feels that it's not as much about rebuilding as it is getting rid of Sale and his attitude I think this is spot on.

Super happy. I tend not to get overly attached to players when it comes to the Sox. Nobody was happier than me when the Rowand to Philly trade was made.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 12:39 PM) I guess you forget how awesome Matt Cassel was after he left NE...oh wait Yup. And who knows, Jimmy could possibly be the real deal but it's not a risk I'm taking, especially with that asking price.

That's an insane asking price but I wouldn't be completely shocked if they get in the ballpark of it. I think you'd be nuts to give up anywhere near that for a back up coming out of that system but there are crazy gm's out there.

I was bragging about how I was having the best fantasy football year of my life then of course lost in all 4 leagues this past week. Go me.

Time for the 3 game losing streak, followed by the 5 game winning streak, followed by the 5 game losing streak.

Even someone like me who is a complete moron when comes to politics knows that's a thing that COULD technically happen, you said it's likely going to happen. It is not.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 09:20 AM) Soler is a good buy low candidate. Maybe but I think he's just bad at this point. A few years back, I would have jumped all over a trade for him but I don't think he's ever going to be anything more than a 4th of.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 01:13 PM) No, I meant if that was my kid. Should have been more specific Ahh...yes, that makes sense. Reading up on it, looks like these two might have just been stupid and not any sort of racists. They were wearing some sort of skin cream face mask and the confederate flag behind them is defaced(they tore it down the middle supposedly).

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 11:33 AM) I'd have my kid out of that school and back home so fast... Because of 2 idiots? There's going to be idiots like this everywhere unfortunately.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) White students at SIU decided to put on blackface and pose in front of a Confederate Flag to celebrate Trump.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 04:12 PM) Do me a favor and let me know how Keenan Simmons looks from SIUe. He is from my hometown, and a great kid. He took over a starting role last year, and hopefully he gets some good minutes and touches this year. I can do that.

So I'm going to SLU-Ball State this Friday and going to see SIU-SIUe next Friday. About to see me some high quality bball!!!!

Where my robot umps at?

Ya, I think I'm honestly worried most about one of my best friends who is a muslim. I'm more scared for him than anything else right now.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) Who knows, but I think we all know that in 2020 Yeezus has our vote. I don't know, man. I think I'm rolling with The Rock.

QUOTE (Tony @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) Donald Trump is a WWE Hall Of Famer. He is now going to be President of the United States. Hey man, don't blame this garbage on wrestling!

Twitter tells me Hillary is now leading Virginia.

At this moment, this is by far the best Fantasy season I've ever had. I currently have the most points in 3 of my 4 leagues, would be in the playoffs in all 4 if the season ended today and I've already won $140 back in my main league. Yay me(for now)!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 09:27 AM) so theo openly admits that the cubs tanked for a couple years during the parade. "Let's be honest, for a while there we forgot the 'not' in 'try not to suck,'" Epstein said. Below is the same MLB rule for which Pete Rose was banned. So when do we revoke the 2016 world series, or at least have an asterisk by it MAJOR LEAGUE RULES Rule 21 MISCONDUCT (a) MISCONDUCT IN PLAYING BASEBALL. Any player or person connected with a club who shall promise or agree to lose, or to attempt to lose, or to fail to give his best efforts towards the winning of any baseball game with which he is or may be in any way concerned; or who shall intentionally fail to give his best efforts towards the winning of any such baseball game, or who shall solicit or attempt to induce any player or person connected with a club to lose, or attempt to lose, or to fail to give his best efforts towards the winning of any baseball game with which such other player or person is or may be in any way connected; or who, being solicited by any person, shall fail to inform his Major League President and the Commissioner. Ya! I hope they take away the Cubs championship for this!!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 01:25 PM) So true, some of the lead discussions on the ESPN shows yesterday dealt with Maddon getting bailed out. If they lost game 7, he was gonna be one of the biggest goats in Chicago sports history He had an awful series. I tend to give him a break on some of the strange stuff he does in the regular season because he's earned that but his managing in the World Series was pretty inexcusable.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 12:57 PM) They're estimating $5 million people for the parade rally. Certainly it's not that much, they always overestimate this stuff. But how soon until we hear about how the Cubs had x more fans there than the Sox? Damn attendance issues always being thrown in our faces!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 12:53 PM) I'm open to trading pretty much anyone. Only "core" guys I would be hesitant on moving are Rodon, Anderson, Saladino, & Jones. If we go full rebuild, I think you keep Jones and let him be the closer for four months and then deal him at the deadline. I definitely don't expect a full rebuild though. Cmon, if we went all in on a rebuild you're not going to shed a tear trading Tyler or Nate. Like you said, no chance it's ever going to happen anyways.
