QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 12:44 PM) It is actually plausible that we will be pretty good. Sometimes it only takes a couple of young stars to enter into a lineup that put a team over the top. This rebuild doesnt HAVE to be what everyone thinks it needs to be in the traditional sense like the Cubs. It can be a more agile approach of adding young talent here and there as we go slowly building the best possible fits along the way. It doesnt have to be shipping it all out at one time to suck for 5 years to prove to the fan that its an official rebuild. That's fine and dandy. Thing is if you want to speed up the process you do that by getting the best package possible, you don't worry about what league you're trading him to. If you're going to take a lesser package because you don't want to trade him with in the AL, that's a huge problem.

Why exactly would we care if Sale is traded to an AL team?

I don't even think the White Sox are this dumb. That said, this would really piss me off. You maximize what you can get out of Chris Sale, you don't attach someone to him that's going to diminish his value.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 10:56 AM) Definitely bittersweet. I love watching Sale pitch. Easily my favorite, along with vintage Buehrle. It will be a sad day, but hopefully when it happens, we know right away it was a great deal for the Sox. With Q, I'd be less sad. Love the guy, but I think its a legitimate possibility his value will never be higher. You think Sale's value can get higher?

Pretty decent raw for once. The Jericho-Owens segment was awesome and Jericho wearing a Sin Cara match to attack Seth is hilarious.

Damn, that looks amazing, man.

The ME last night was obviously super stupid but I can't even pretend to be mad. I can't stand Brock now a days so whatever. Unfortunately this means we're probably getting more Goldberg and maybe more Brock-Goldberg so super lame there.

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 (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.
