Good luck.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 11:06 PM) Happy for the Astros, they did it the right way. Good drafting, good scouting, and timely trades. Looking forward to the Sox doing the same Not taking the Quintana trade and using less pieces to get Verlander?

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 08:06 PM) You just don't know until he pitches next August. We have no idea what kind of stuff he'll have. That's why the "at best he is a LOOGY or 5th starter" comment you made is silly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 31, 2017 -> 11:18 AM) NFL Update‏ @MySportsUpdate 2h2 hours ago #Bears are one of several teams calling Miami with interest for WR Jarvis Landry. Weren't there rumors of TY Hilton being available.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 30, 2017 -> 07:59 PM) Fantastic move by the 49ers. Yeah and kind of a waste for Patriots. They used a 2nd round pick to get him so the 49ers spent the same pick but get the Belichik experience for him. Bears should have waited

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 02:52 PM) The math just isn't there in my mind. Parking may be discounted, but I just take the red line. Also stadium club has really fallen off the past few years in my opinion. Plus we all know if the Sox are playing well in 2019 they'll roll out a plan in like July or August saying if you buy 7 or 10 games that you get playoff access for at least the ALDS and ALCS. That's what I'll probably end up doing .... Yeah. If you don't take the parking discount and don't go to many games, the season tickets aren't worth it.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 09:56 PM) Because it makes season tickets a massive waste of money unless they make the playoffs. The season tickets are discounted as is the parking. You save more on the parking. As well as the access to the stadium club. If you go to more than 10 games it's much more cost effective.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Oct 25, 2017 -> 03:35 PM) too bad most September games, even lower level seats, are $6 on stubhub. Why is that too bad? It's good for people who want to go to games in September.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 03:03 PM) With all of the latino players that we have, Renteria isnt going anywhere.One big reason they got him ia not only just to help develope young players but it is easier to manage when you can speak the language fluently. Girardi or Dusty baker cannot. Another factor, Jerrys "loyalty" kicks that he always has. He Is NOT going to put Renteria out to dry like The Cubs did. Relax everyone Ricky is here to stay even if Joe Torre or Tony LaRussa wants to come back and manage Baker is fluent in spanish.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 02:42 PM) Dangle enough money and he will. See: Ventura, Robin It has nothing to with money. It's desire and appropriate personality. Ventura had those (although sometimes the desire was questioned). AJ does not.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 11:20 AM) Sox next manager is really just a countdown till Thome or AJP are ready. I don't think he'll manage.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 10:40 AM) I agree. I am not a big Renteria managing fan, but he has done everything asked of him and then some. They play hard. If a bunt attemptcosts you in a meaningful game, then you have a case. The White Sox did pursue Leyland when Bevington was managing. But that was Bevengton. On his worst day, Renteria is not Bevington. My right shoe would not be as bad as Bevington.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Oct 25, 2017 -> 07:12 PM) the sox control the ballpark's use for non baseball events. they have to give the state the ok to host concerts. some mlb teams in publicly financed stadiums set up entertainment divisions to book concerts and other events. the sox do not have such a department, but anything is possible. This seems strange. Who books the concerts then?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 24, 2017 -> 08:16 AM) If the Cubs go out alone, it should be announced pretty soon because they will need time to put their channel together. I don't think the Sox situation will change much. They do own part of the station and will apparently get a bigger piece. Paying yourself is a zero sum game. It does seem Rocky and JR are joined at the hip so I don't see the Sox/Bulls/Hawks partnership breaking up. If they split the revenue from the station, the Sox and Bulls are benefiting from the Hawks popularity and it would be silly to leave that deal.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Oct 24, 2017 -> 09:06 AM) I'll have to work the math out, but I feel like this is my conundrum each year. I want to be guaranteed playoff games if and when we get there, but at the same time I am just throwing money away buying season tix packages... Through business connections and secondary markets its quite easy to get to 10 games a year for probably less than $100 between free tickets and cheap secondary games.. I feel like if I add all those savings up I can pay for the $250 tickets when it comes time for playoffs in 2019 or 2020. It is extremely easy to sell the tickets through the sox-ticketmaster process. I have never had a problem selling the tickets, even the morning of a game, especially if you sell them for face value. The season ticket price is slightly discounted so if you sell them for face value you actuality make a little money. I put the back into the account so my cost the next year is even less.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 09:10 PM) Where did you get this information? They send it to you after they talk to you on the phone.

QUOTE (champagne030 @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 02:46 PM) Yes, but the weekend package never got opening day. Did they have the 13 game packages last year and was that a package where you received the same seat for all 13 games? With the weekend package you could get opening day tickets with the season ticket discount price, but it was not included in the package.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 22, 2017 -> 09:13 PM) Playcalling has changed 100 percent. Glennon threw 40, 45, 22, and 33 times in his starts. I don’t even think Trubisky has thrown over 20 times yet Much of Glennon's passing attempts were due to being down in the score quickly (he caused much of that). If Carolina had scored a few times early, the play calls would have been different as well. However, what hasn't changed is the reluctance to throw to Wrs and only short passes to the TE and backs. Glennon rarely did it and Trubiskey rarely does.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 22, 2017 -> 07:48 PM) It's a weird combination of a rookie QB, zero wide receivers, and the most conservative coach in the league. Today was rough to watch, but they got the early lead and it worked out, no reason to force anything extra on Trubisky yet. But that is not gonna work next weekend in NOLA. Most likely not. But today it was all they needed. It was an awful offensive performance (like the double meaning) but it was all they needed.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 22, 2017 -> 07:21 PM) The Bears need wide recievers, period. The opposing defenses don’t even worry about them and still stack the box, they don’t give Trubisky much of a chance to do anything. When he does get a chance you see what he can do, which is pretty good. But the Fox method of getting any lead and salting off the clock is just terrible. No doubt but since they can't acquire one during the season, what you see is what you get. I said before they put Trubiskey in that the offense has not WRs so the play calls won't change. The game plan today is the only chance they have to win.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 22, 2017 -> 06:11 PM) The Bears don't have an NFL offense. If you can't see that, I am not sure what to say here. They didn't need one today. Why take a chance on turning the ball over. The team did everything they needed to for the win.

QUOTE (GermanSock @ Oct 22, 2017 -> 07:16 AM) the cubs traded josh donaldson. those things happen. it is not ideal but everyone makes mistakes. that is not an exact science you sometimes pick the wrong guy. now it is possible that that move costs the sox a ws but they still have a great farm and a chance to build a really good team. The cubs also got rid of Rich Hill and the lack of pitching for them really showed this year. Did that move cost the cubs this WS?

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Oct 22, 2017 -> 03:52 AM) I don't think its unreasonable to say that trade may end up costing us a world series. One less hole we'd need to fill with a cost controlled star. Time will tell. Never liked that trade from the day it was announced. could also go the other way. If the Sox didn't trade for Shields and got a good pitcher they may have been a better team and not gone ahead with the full re-build. So you could say that the trade had the biggest impact on the team going for the re-build and possibly leading to a world Series. There is also the possibility that he wouldn't have made any progress in the sox system because many posters believe the system can't develop hitters. The results so far back this up. In actuality, i don't think any single deal would make or break this team. The FO has done a really good job of gathering a good amount of talent, some of which will make it to the MLB, some won't.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 21, 2017 -> 11:31 AM) I just heard on the score that Chris bosio got fired. I guess he's taking the sword for the genius Maddon. That may be part of it but Maddon's boy Hickey just left the Rays. Don't be surprised if Hickey is the new pitching coach.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Oct 19, 2017 -> 10:14 PM) Nothing really riles up the 3rd worst attendance in the league like s***ty ticket packages and higher priced games. Business 101 The more I look at it, I think I like these options better. It was tough to get anything done when I went to games on both Saturday and Sunday. It killed the weekend. with the games being Friday night and Saturday, it leaves time Sunday. we'll see how it works in practice but in theory, I think I like it.
