Be interesting how the hell they book that triple threat at fastlane cause facing those two is going to get Roman booed out of the building again.

They're finally doing the divas stuff right, makes me happy.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) I think maybe drop in to Corbin if Sami is up? Probably about time an actual development talent won it. I think Corbin is getting Aries on that show. Sami and Joe have a number one contender's match at the next taping so we'll probably see what's going to happen after that.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) Sure seems like WWE is in no rush to bring up Finn Balor. I'm guessing Anderson and Gallows will go to NXT first and do a storyline down there? QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) If I had to guess Finn drops the title at the NXT wrestlemania show and debuts Monday on the main roster. Agreed. I thought they'd have him turn heel with the bullet club guys and drop it to Sami but not sure now if Zayn is on the main roster. I have no interest in the 2 main events we're getting but if KO-Styles or KO-Sami is on the card and Sasha wins the title I'll be happy.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 24, 2016 -> 10:24 PM) Eh I liked how Brock went. Wyatts were monsters in the match and took 4 guys and cheating to take him out. Fitting. The only problem with this is we're about to have the exact same Bray Wyatt story again where he loses to Brock at mania. It's just annoying. Oh well, like Brian said we knew it was going to be Reigns or H, I'm just happy Sasha is back!

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 24, 2016 -> 01:19 PM) We know it'll be HHH vs Roman at Mania but if that isn't the title match, what will be? I think with the depleted rosters, the only way to make it an interesting unpredictable main event is to do a triple threat but they just did 2 years ago. Brock vs Roman vs HHH. Book it! Kevin Owens damn it! But yes I'm sure we're getting HHH-Reigns title match.

Kershaw then Sale for me. He was probably the 5th or 6th best pitcher last year but overall he's the 2nd best in the game, imo.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 23, 2016 -> 12:00 PM) Alright, Lets get this b**** to 400 and lock 'er down before Chisoxfn goes on a mega thread rampage LAST CALL f*** that, I say we just merge every thread on the front page of PHT into this thread.

Can't wait to throw out Dude Critic right away only for Cactus Critic to jump right back in at number 3.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 11:02 PM) God knows I have too many posts in this thread that were anti-Cespedes, but for those that wanted him....would you have been ok with paying him 27.5? Why the hell not? If Jerry is fine throwing down 27.5 for a year why would I care? It's not stopping the team from spending going forward and we at least have a chance at the playoffs with that roster. No brainer to me.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) Yeah, the NBA doesn't work that way. It's not like baseball, where you have an excess of pieces you can move across multiple levels. NBA teams have 12 guys. The Bulls have very little in terms of desirable pieces. In fact, I would argue the only tradeable piece the Bulls have is Gasol. Well that's Garpax's fault to begin with.

The NXT Twitter already spoiled it but just in case

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:46 PM) I don't think so. Thibs isn't going to interview just anywhere. I'm pretty convinced he'll be the next Lakers coach. Yup. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) Thibs is a great coach people. Yup.

I'm cool with adding rotation depth but the 1-5 is just fine.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 11:13 AM) BTW, I wonder if the plan all along when they were going after Cespedes was to put him in LF, and move Melky to DH while keeping Avi in RF? Doubt it. Avi could have platooned at dh with Adam but have to get Garcia out of rf.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 10:53 AM) Avisail Garcia, Don Cooper, Hawk, Ed Farmer, Ron Kittle, Harold Baines comprise phone sales team for #whitesox season tix customers Thurs. https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/690577060436271104 I'm sure alot of fans want to hear avi calling them asking them to get season tickets lol That's just quite the sales team in general. I'd love to hear Harold's sales pitch.

Great analysis and break down per usual, eminor.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:37 AM) If you are going to trade for Gardner, you might as well sign Fowler. They are pretty similar, only Fowler is younger, would cost the now #28 pick vs. at least a couple of your better prospects. I'm sure it's been discussed but what's Gardner's contract situation? I agree with your point but obviously his current deal could change the way the sox fo looks at him vs Fowler.

People are just afraid to face me at 1, it's understandable.

What's pants looking for contract wise?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:42 AM) Ha that's great. Makes me pretty confident his agent is stirring all the is Nats BS. No doubt.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:08 AM) Which, while true, is silly. The meatheads will be out in full force embarrassing themselves. I'm going to Soxfest. I hope it doesn't turn into what it could turn into. I am not an autograph guy, I just go to the seminars. I really enjoyed all the fluff last year. Its the time of year you really could use some. All the idiots who complain about not being able to sit right behind the dugout after purchasing a $5 upper deck seat calling people cheap is a trip. But I just don't want to deal with it. People(especially sports fans) are morons, it's definitely going to be ugly if they stand pat.

If we've learned anything from this saga it's that nobody knows what the hell is going on. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he's signed before I finish this post or if this goes well into February.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 09:55 AM) That was funny that Theo was in the Starbucks. I actually had seen him at my health club that day. I bet Theo skips leg day.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 08:36 AM) Then why spend over 300 pages discussing someone who doesn't even play for the White Sox if it's so inconsequential? You're in a Cespedes thread and you're talking about the Bulls worth and the marketing team's talking points, you're all over the f***in place and not talking about what this thread is for.
