Ya that's too bad. Chicago is bad for your knees apparently.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 08:33 PM) But what if the girl is hot? Well then go for it.

Quick work "relationship" story that I had to deal with a few weeks back: One of the girls I work with decided to have an affair with one of the members at our club who happens to be married. She called me up crying her eyes out after he broke it off with her because she thought he was going to tell our managers and get her fired. So ya, don't have affairs with customers at your job, bad idea.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 04:39 PM) General rule of thumb is to stay away from work relationships, right? Not if the girl is hot.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 07:53 PM) Sounds like this Mariners move may be in the next 2-3 days. I really don't care too much now that the Sox outfield is set. Viciedo will be gone sooner or later. Agreed. I'm just intrigued to see if we get anything for him.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 07:41 PM) This is funny https://twitter.com/TheMelkman53/status/545030565494525953 I want that hoodie.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 07:27 PM) Let's be real here, would you work under this doofus knowing full well how dysfunctional that organization is? And yes, I know the Bears are currently dysfunctional, but JESUS LOOK AT THAT MANS HAIR What the hell is that thing?

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 06:36 PM) Lana is hot

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 01:25 PM) But 20 of them? I just don't get the draw. Well that's cause you don't like anything.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) Ken Gurnick ‏@kengurnick 45m45 minutes ago Brian Wilson DFA. Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 35m35 minutes ago Brian Wilson is making $9.5M next season, meaning he'll likely clear waivers and hit free agency. Team could then have him on major-lg min. I'd be cool taking a shot on him if it doesn't cost us much.

Hawk and AJP in the booth together would be disgusting. And I think AJ could be a very good broadcaster but I don't need to hear Hawk kiss his ass for 162 games.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 01:10 PM) Since no one figured this one out, the answer is a shocker, with Brad Penny clocking 91.7 mph on his fastballs! Surprises me that Q threw softer than that.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 12:17 PM) Why not both? I know he and Brad Penny were or are really good friends, Anderson was sort of trying to piece his baseball career back together (and I recall getting back to being an outfielder, but maybe the Sox can do something with his arm, who knows?), and I know he's been talking to Hahn working to help his baseball career. He's also making an appearance at Soxfest, as I recall. What harm is there in a Spring Training invite? And outfield coach? He can do it all!

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 12:15 PM) As a hybrid. A gunslinging pitcher/outfielder who is out for justice on the south side. I'll watch that sitcom.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 12:13 PM) Also, I bet the White Sox bring Brian Nikola Anderson back this year too. I will bet 4 internet dollars on that. As a pitcher or outfielder?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 12:08 PM) Please no. He's garbage. I'd take both Noesi and Danks over him. He can compete for a spot. If/when he gets shelled in ST then no harm done.

Charlotte needed an extra starter cause Rodon is starting the season in Chicago. That's my story.

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.
