    Oh absolutely. Soroka is a gem of a human. Nicky by all accounts is a great teammate and even better person. Getz really is valuing character in that trade too.

    I can 100 percent say without any hesitation that Nick is a tremendous person. 

    Comes from a great family.

    He was great to deal with and cover from all the way back to Naperville Central (2011-13) and the times I've spoken with him since the Royals drafted him in 2016.

    ladies and germs, meet your new starting ss. nick lopez. he will play solid defense. should help

    out the pitchers a bit.

    Covered Nick for his three years at Naperville Central (2011-13) and I'm very happy for his family, who won't have to travel far to see him.

    Nick and his parents are class all the way. 

    Kind of sucks because he's going from a 100-win team to a 100-loss team, but we'll see if he gets tendered a contract.

    Gold Glove caliber defense, obviously. 

    Sox only had the other Nick who graduated from a Naperville high school in 2013 (Nick Solak; Naperville North) for 48 hours back in April.

    When Do the Sox Talk About a New Stadium??

    This isn't happening until JR dies at the earliest. The stadium is still in GREAT shape, too. I'd guess in 10 years we might see some rumbling but not now.

    Hopefully in 10 years, come 2033, New Comiskey will play host to the 100th anniversary of the first All-Star Game (1933).

    But we all know MLB can be challenged at times to do the right thing.

    Abreu needs 4 rbis to tie salvy and lead the league for the 3rd straight year. Do it

    Understand why TLR is giving Abreu the day off, but it sucks Abreu wasn’t able to join Cecil Fielder in AL RBI history.

    The three three-run homers Perez had in two games against the Sox in KC is what really got Perez in contention for his eventual league RBI win.

    Well, hope Abreu and the boys get a ring at the end of the month or early November instead...

    Burning/Recording 2021 Sox Postseason Games to DVD

    in Pale Hose Talk

    Posted

    Would anyone be willing and able to burn or copy Sox playoff wins on to DVDs?

    I’d like to not clog up my parents’ DVR. I have a DVD recorder with a hard drive that was able to get the WOW! signal through the wall up until May when the DVR crapped out and the cable guy cut the signal coming from the wall.

    I’d just need any potential Sox wins in the ALDS and ALCS because I do have an antenna that gets OTA channels (ABC, NBC, FOX) and I’d be able to record any World Series games.

    I’m not sure if there’s a way to download the games off MLB.com or whatever.

    I’m 38 and it’s the seventh time they’ve made postseason in my lifetime (1983, 1993, 2000, 2005, 2008, 2020 and 2021), so we all know how rare it is for franchise.

    I’ll pay to get it done - if anyone’s willing. Advice welcomed in DMs.

    I simply cannot wait to find out that Nicky Lopez is from Naperville

    I’m a Naperville Central alumnus and covered Lopez when he was with the Redhawks and he’s a great guy with great family, but you hit nail on head with that.

    Constant refrain from Benetti every time the Sox play the Royals. Does get a little old sometimes.

    I thought they stopped awarding home field advantage in the World Series to the all-star game winner?

    And congratulations to the American League, the REAL Major League. Seven straight wins and congrats to the three Sox players who helped make it happen.

    They did, Lip. 2016 was the last year, I believe.

    ESPN has Sale, Ramirez, and Petricka making the all-star team...

     

    Just curious, where did you see that? Saw a page with ESPN experts picking their respective teams and Petricka wasn't found on any of them. Glad to see they all had Sale in, as he deserves it despite that DL stint.

    I got a little ticked at the ending of yesterday's game when Len remarked that the Sox barly pulled it out. As oppoossed tothe seeing eye singles and error that even allowedthe cub to score.

     

    Come on.

     

    It also seemed that Len and Bob didn't really have much to say about the Sox while Stone and DJ seemd ot cover both teams.

     

    Gotta tell ya I like DJ on the radio.

     

    Glad someone pointed that out about Kasper. Not a fan of Kasper and ditto on the "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" rendition making me sick.

    Rumors: Sox/Reds Talking Dye for Bailey Swap

    Wow, it's amazing how many people have no idea what Jermaine Dye has done for this organization. If he's traded for Bailey, that's fine with me, because the organization is being thrown on it's head right now and when you can get a talent like Bailey (in this situation) you do it.

     

    However, someone actually typed that Jermaine Dye is trash. Despite the many ways that baseball-wise this is inaccurate (I'll start with the fact that he's been our best hitter over the last four years), but he's also a great guy and probably, actually very easily, a top 5 White Sox for me. I love him.

     

    Some of you fans are ridiculous (anyone who would call JD trash) and can go back to the North Side where you were before 2005.

     

    Well said Steve. Well said.
