J4L I defend you all the time in this thread but you've officially killed the words GOAT and Shook.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 08:23 PM) While we appreciate everyone's feedback we've decided to go in another direction, instead of highlighting the exciting young players in the org the site banner will instead be honoring heroes of years past. First up: White Sox legend Adam Dunn, i think all can appreciate his contribution to White Sox history. This is absolutely a no brainer. Thank you for putting this together for us.

I'll be there for his jersey retirement at the Cell.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 02:26 PM) I'm not sure he was serious in his post. Also, gotta factor in that they're going to lose some depth due to the WBC so there will be extra playing time out there. Wite? He's never been sarcastic in his life, always serious.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 02:06 PM) Why not Zoidberg? Count me in for that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 02:03 PM) Holmberg! Definitely saw this as Hoiberg at first.

HE'S ALIVE. EVERYONE BREATHE

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 11:35 AM) No one is questioning his offensive ability. He's just a prototypical DH that's forced to play the outfield and is terrible at it. And you've made this judgement based on about 30 games(if that). Dude has barely played the position in his life and there's some people who are just so convinced that he'll never be able to do it, it's crazy to me.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 01:27 PM) Hopefully he'll be ok, but I could get on board with Fulmer/Lopez tandem starts. Sox could get creative with "bullpenning" during the rebuild. Why? Fulmer and Lopez should be getting every opportunity to fully start until they prove they can't QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 01:29 PM) Rodon being seriously hurt would be devastating for the rebuild You're just overreacting for the hell of it now.

My favorite part about this thread is we're going to keep having this exact same argument on Jimmy for probably the next 3 years. And then we can keep all arguing about rebuilding and then we can keep all arguing about how good the Sixers and Bucks and Twolves are. Love you guys.

Ya, I'd much prefer the Bulls would have lost that game but even if he brushed his elbow(which I think he did) then that's a foul.

Schwarber has played like 100 something games in his life in the outfield. I obviously have no clue if he'll ever be an average outfielder but it's pretty funny to me how quickly some on this site dismiss it.

Soxtalk's collective mind is going to blow up when Schwarber becomes an average outfielder.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 06:17 PM) This is not a short process, and if they do not feel they are receiving sufficient value for their players, they are not going to trade them. Using their forecasts and they're best guesses, they have obviously determined that trading Quintana for the packages being offered was not a net plus. How pissed would you have been if they'd gotten 2 mediocre prospects for Quintana? Wait...Didn't you write this article like 2 weeks ago?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 08:12 AM) What's upside? Win 50 games with no chance at a title? Upside to me is a true shot. It used to be being good enough not to draft high, but not good enough to win was NBA hell. Now it's upside? IMO today's NBA sucks because there are very few teams with a legit chance to win it all. I will admit there are a lot more better players than there were in the early 2000s, and the games are far more interesting. It's really the only pro team sport that is like this, and that is an issue. The regular season is basically an 82 game exhibition. Fans even praising coaches for not playing their stars so they can rest and be ready for the playoffs in a few months. Most games don't matter. Unless there are major injuries GS vs. Cleveland can be put on the DirectTv viewing guide for June before the season starts. That's an NBA problem, not a this era problem. I've made it pretty clear here that as a fan I only care about having a chance to win a title but to say this era sucks because only a few teams have a chance to win the championship then every era of the NBA sucks.

The Nuggets are going to be pretty good, pretty soon. And even if Jabari is completely broken once Middleton gets back to full health they still have a very nice young core to work with. EDIT: And I'm not saying either is going to win a championship any time soon because they aren't but including them into a category of teams that suck or have no upside is just wrong.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 04:38 PM) It would be awesome if they wore those jerseys when Boston was in town. They are. Or at least that was the plan.

If Sale manages to cut up those Uni's before our series with them he'll seriously become my favorite athlete of all time.

What if Yolmer is like 100 times better than Carlos?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 09:43 AM) Corey and Jenna kind of belong with the winners though in my opinion. I know they haven't won Challenges but they are staples that are way better than some of these other dopes. For sure. Those are just the people I'm rooting for, not a prediction of any sort.

Team Jenna, Kailah and Corey for the 'underdogs'.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 09:34 AM) I will allow it. I'm going to override your decision here and not allow it. Sorry bmags.

From the sounds of it they basically forced the overly sexy character on her. She wasn't committed to it cause why the f*** would she be and they finally scrapped it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 07:12 AM) Nobody wants to talk about the Emma/Emmalina segment The report on why this happened really makes me want to punch Vince in the face.
