You don't have to be a complete baby while you discuss White Sox baseball. We were never signing Machado. I never even entertained it. History could have told you that.

You guys create these narratives yourselves and you're easily manipulated by fake Twitter accounts and media that profits from manipulating you. It's crazy to watch these narratives develop.

The Sox are who they always have been and always will be. If they're good, people will come. If they suck, they'll stay home. What the hell does that fanbase being in "prove it mode" even mean anyway? They weren't going to games anyway.

Luckily, you get older, your priorities change, and the success of your favorite sports teams is just a bonus.

Just thank God every morning you wake up that you aren't from Cleveland or Detroit. I'd also like to beg to differ with "most of us." Anyway, Manny Machado was never going to make or break this rebuild. People need to get a fucking grip.

How do you ever survive with those 7 championships? Jesus christ.

Like I said from the very beginning, the Sox aren't signing any big name FA's. I'm glad I didn't really follow the saga. The Sox have to produce stars to succeed, not buy them. The South Side of Chicago just isn't an attractive place to play baseball. I'm fine with it. I like a lot of the young talent and my favorite thing in baseball is watching kids grow into MLB players. I still have hope that some of these guys will be stars.

Checking in to say this is the best headline yet! Carry on.

I'm definitely concerned with his ability to get the ball out of the infield with a wooden bat.

Damn, you guys are still following this?

Highest ceiling: Micker Highest floor: Gonzalez Most likely to be an MLB regular: Rutherford. I know people are down on Rutherford, but when I look at his swing, approach and fundamentals, I just see a guy that's going to end up sticking.

6 hours is probably a new record for following up a 3 paragraph post declaring you're leaving the site. ?

Thread needs more Puig talk.

I wonder if you ever consider how patronizing you are. I know you like to pretend you're high brow, but the rest of us also like films. Some of probably studied film in school too. Jesus christ.

And why would you "posit" that guess?

It's clear they've completely sold out due to the low ratings. Black Panther is good for a comic book movie. It's not Oscar material. I thought Hereditary was good, but not great. With that said, Collette was absolutely tremendous.

Also LOL @ Bohemian Rhapsody, Vice and Black Panther being nominated for Best Picture. What a joke.

Melissa McCarthy over Toni Collette. The Oscars continue to be an embarrassment.

Machado's Sox hat is the new Shaun Livingston's Brian Cook jersey. Illini fans should get it.

For some reason Rutherford seems like a Dodgers kind of player. I'd actually hate to lose him. While he doesn't have the ceiling of any of the other OF prospects, he's probably the most likely one to be an MLB regular (obviously aside from Eloy). There's a ton of fail potential for Robert, Adolfo and Basabe.

Just stopping in to say thanks for changing the thread title so I don't have to actually read the thread to see what's going on. ?

No clue. I don't follow the draft.

I dislike both the Madrigal pick and Keith Law. I'm confused.

This is the single dumbest post in the history of Soxtalk.

A lot of Sox fans are going to be lining up to apologize to Moncada. He's still a future stud.
