Our bullpen does need a fat guy.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 11:49 AM) He tipped his hand! He must be bringing in Scherzer! I'm kind of disappointed he didn't say 162, what kind of gm is he?!?

He's still alive?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 11:34 AM) The situation is a bit different now. Ya he's got all this delicious American food to eat and millions of dollars to spend, he's going to show up 60 lbs over weight!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 10:43 AM) I'd imagine that just having a year's worth of MLB scouting on Abreu will lead to teams pitching him tougher, and forcing him to adjust. It's not like they even had minor league at-bats to scout, they had very little to work with from Cuba. I think teams did adjust in the 2nd half of the season and he is so damn good that despite his power dropping off he was able to remain as productive. Trust me, I expect regression from some of our players but I actually think Jose is going to have a better season this year. He's that good imo.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 09:48 AM) He makes it 40 on the 40 man correct? Correct.

QUOTE (almagest @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 09:49 AM) It was only 163 PA, but Flowers had a .280/.337/.553/.891 slash line in the second half last year. Even if his OPS is .100 points lower, he would still be a valuable catcher. Let's hope his magic glasses continue helping him. If Flowers puts up a .791 ops for the year, I will not eat my hat but we will have one of the better catchers in baseball on our team in 2015. Not happening.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 09:48 AM) If Abreu isn't quite a demigod and is merely one of the best 20 hitters in the game, are we going to be surprised? Yes.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 09:21 AM) I wouldn't want a jersey that has a former Cub on it. Why?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 10:09 PM) Fantastic main event on Raw. A lot of fun. Turned it off beforehand because I just didn't care. Sounds like it was a good ending to Raw though. QUOTE (TheCut87 @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 11:32 PM) Don't have a link to it but apparently Lana posted a picture of the European title to her Instagram account and then immediately took it down. A friend tagged me in the picture on Facebook. Anyone else see this as well? I didn't see it but I did read that happened.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 05:54 PM) Welcome aboard!!! Hey Mike, watch out for this guy, he posts like he owns the place.

Well I'm happy NSS and Tex at least made this thread interesting the last few weeks. The 2014 version of this thread was a real disappointment so hopefully 2015 brings some good drinking for everyone!

It's always fun when these threads get brought up to see what kind of crazy jersey's everyone has. My Damaso one is pretty awesome.

Welcome!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 06:53 AM) And funny enough, that spur of the moment couple of texts was probably better than anything that WWE writers did last night.(Main PPV-wise, since you guys are pretty sucked into NXT) The card was so awful that Brian and I had to troll you to entertain ourselves. That's bad.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 03:46 PM) 162-0 And swept in the ALDS.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 03:38 PM) Gross. That's easily the last Sox jersey I would ever buy Just wait until he homers in and wins a World Series game this year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 03:35 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 41m41 minutes ago White Sox moved quickly. Jeff Samardzija jerseys are already available. They had to, too many people would f*** up trying to spell his name on a custom one.

I'm going to say 88 wins and a Wild Card berth. I think the bullpen is going to be a little better than most, so that's why I'm going with this number.

I'm behind Pop doing whatever the hell he wants anyways but SA's schedule this month is pretty absurd.

I've been worried about defense as well but we're decently strong up the middle and even with Melky possibly being below average we got rid of an embarrassment of an outfielder. Defense certainly isn't our strength but it's improved.

The ME was fine, the ending to it was the dumbest s*** ever.

Thursday reminded me why I love wrestling and tonight made me realize why some people are embarrassed to watch this crap.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 08:36 PM) Overbooked POS match Complete terribleness.

Nice heel turn Reigns.
