Old: Mega Hendriks Speculation Thread
Reading the rest of his tweets, there is a pretty uniform professional tone to them. This person is connected.

Oh ok. Well, welcome to Soxtalk yourself then!

Huh?

Old: Mega Hendriks Speculation Thread
For the record, I believe this DeWon Day burner about Hendriks already agreeing w the Jays - 3 years, option year, $13mil AAv. Hope the Sox adjust accordingly or we're going to have serious egg on our face. Very disappointing. Not sure what Hahn is doing.

Trade Whispers - Starting Pitchers
Just don't understand if a place makes one kind of food that is exquisite (hot dogs) - why would you EVER order anything else?
-
Trade Whispers - Starting Pitchers
Just because it's an easy target. How many of them can tell you anything about the '82 or '86 team? (I go to a LOT of Angels games btw - the families will show up and they'll care about that day's game, but they really don't care longterm. Just like the Ducks.)
-
Trade Whispers - Starting Pitchers
They might be, but with those hot dogs I'm never getting anything besides that so who cares what else they have on the menu??
-
Trade Whispers - Starting Pitchers
They don't have fans, like we would think of, so it's not the same. Their fanbase doesn't care.

Trade Whispers - Starting Pitchers
I've gone to Portillo's for literally 45 years (my whole life) -- and I've never had a hamburger there. Like, who you crappin?

Jon Sciambi named CubsTV play by play
Not sure why the hate (ok, I get it but not really) - Sciambi is a great PBP voice. Dumb nickname but whatever - congrats to them/him.

Sox acquire Lance Lynn for Dane Dunning and Avery Weems
Some of us remember the offseason when the Sox signed the #1 hitting and pitching FAs in the offseason...... and the team was still mediocre. (1997 btw)

Sox acquire Lance Lynn for Dane Dunning and Avery Weems
I heard a Rangers podcast speculate Lynn might be willing to extend if traded to the right place. We'll see. -- not like the Sox to trade for a rental without a plan.

Tony La Russa named Manager
God that makes me miss the steroid era - what a great time for baseball.....
-
Tony La Russa named Manager
I still feel that this has all been the work of LaRussa's agent/people who are trying to make him relevant and not the Sox FO.

Most Memorable Sox Game You've Attended?
1. 05 ALCS G1 - Scalper sold me a ticket right behind home plate for $30. 2. Sox @ Cubs, 1998 - Karchner K's Sammy w the bases loaded in the 10th. Sox lose on walkoff Brant Brown HR in the 11th. 3. Griffey's first game at The Cell, 2008 - Tigers go ahead in the 14th, Nick Swisher walkoff 3-run bomb to win.

WHITE SOX SIGN Grandal 4/$73, Palka DFAd
I like him batting 2nd, behind Robert and getting on base for Moncada (best hitter on the team), Abreu, Eloy, and whoever's playing RF.

A Realistic Offseason
Yeah, a city like Chicago is definitely a hard sell - LOL
-
Chicago writer adds Q, R.Hill and Hamels to FA want list
Dodgers are not gonna let Ryu go, esp after a Cy Young year. We can cross him off the list.
-
A Realistic Offseason
Not if you have a regular DH like Martinez and Abreu plays 1B 99% of the time like this year. There just isn't room for Grandal.
-
A Realistic Offseason
Think people are overlooking the liability that Grandal is behind the plate. Remember the Dodgers benched him for all of the postseason last year, despite his bat. McCann has righted the Catcher position and w Collins behind him, there just isn't at-bats (esp if they sign a reg DH, like Martinez). Let's spend $$ more at pitcher, RF, & DH. Catcher is fine right now.

Well, I can't speak to your current board, but our previous board died when certain people were asked to curtail their slurs and offensive memes, so ?♂️ They did us a favor tho - how much better our lives are without those people in them! Congrats and best of luck - to this day, when I see Pepe memes online or in the news, I think of you all. (And I can't claim credit for the magazines, but it still makes me laugh. Were they good ones? Popular Mechanics? Boys Life? Christianity Today? I never found out! Enquiring minds want to know haha....)

LOL. "There's some very fine people in that group of racists and homophobes...."

WSI
Glad you remember us. That was a fun (very short) period of time. Hangar is still around, here and there. That was his board. The rest of the crew became a bunch of alt-right weirdos and left. They're probably still making racist memes on Reddit somewhere.

My opinion: Sox need to make another megadeal
Tired of Anderson's act? What team are you rooting for? Also, the Dodgers don't need him. Their position players are stacked.
