QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 04:28 PM) Unless it's Cuban. (mark) I'd be shocked if the Cabal of owners would allow anyone to buy the team with the idea of moving it (and thus encroaching on their territory). That aside, the era of public stadiums is over. Are they gonna build a brand new stadium in a city that doesn't already have a team? Seems whoever wants to buy the team will be keeping it in Chicago.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 12:21 PM) If you are "going for it," you start by hiring a competent manager and let him pick his own staff. Mark I'm starting to think Hahn is a big p**** because the first thing he should have demanded when he was named GM is his own hand picked manager. I mean that is just new GM 101 you pick your own manager. Seattle did it this offseason.

Another fun August here on the South Side.

I swear to god if Avi f***ing head fakes us all and ends up with a decent slash line (say 265/320/430) so we still really don't know what we have in him... It would just like him and the Sox to put together a total fluke of a second half so they bring him back next year on the 25 man.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 03:20 PM) Says the guy who could not get enough of Avi Garcia and Carlos Sanchez. they suck bro. wtf is your problem? Every single time I un ignore one of your posts you're trolling and I immediately regret it. here, let me spell it out for you: AVI GARCIA AND CARLOS SANCHEZ BOTH f***ING. god forbid I'd like to give younger players a shot rather than bringing in endless veteran retreads or never will be anythings like Micah f***ing Johnson and JB Shuck. Guess what? BOTH AVI AND SANCHEZ, WHO COULD HAVE GIVEN THE SOX YOUNG COST CONTROLLED 2-4 WAR PlAY, ARE BELOW REPLACEMENT! THE CORNERSTONE OF THE PEAVY TRADE IS NOTHING! YEA HIGH FIVE ME BRUH! AWESOME! f*** this entire org right now. it's pathetic. People here in Seattle are pissed off well at least they made more than one f***ing move.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 05:20 PM) I thought that this web site was for the purpose of serious baseball discussion, not childish emotional incontinence. But apparently I was wrong about that. new to the Internet?

The last time I was this disengaged I honestly can't remember. I was thinking maybe like when I was in college in the early aughts but that's about it. Hahn is either a moron for taking a GM job without full control or he's just a bad GM. Either way there's not much hope. I had hope when Hahn took over that things would be different but nothing has changed. IMO the org is still run almost exactly like how I'd expect KW to run it. Whether that's on Hahn or not remains to be seen but at the end of the day it really doesn't matter from our perspective as fans -- the club stinks, it doesn't really matter who is at fault.

Cya guys in February!

epic fail you losers.

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:05 PM) Sox must be ahead since hardly anyone's posting. or you know people got other s*** to do on a beautiful night in late July then waste time on another mediocre Sox team. I'm still stuck at my office otherwise I wouldn't be here.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 01:02 PM) Gallo, Mazara, Brinson, Profar and Ortiz would be good enough for me I think. me too.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 12:54 PM) Has to include Mazara. Drop Profar. I would take a package centered around Mazara and whatever their three best prospects are. Sox can produce pitching but a stud like Mazara they'll never find on their own.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:47 PM) Got a hanger, rolled over on it. He's getting a huge zone this inning indeed. Was a meatball.

nice camera work, wow.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) for being the original sports network...they have evolved to being the absolute worst. My hatred grows every week for these asshats... they suck. I'm actually glad that the B1G is going to be on Fox this year instead of ABC. Sick of f***ing OSU slappy Spielman calling the Game.

does ESPN do anything but not show the game?

he actually has a pretty nice swing. short hands there.

wow.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:16 PM) Just a Public Service Announcement during the game. Look at Siera Santos's photo with Ozzie on Twitter. Thank me later. Cubs stream for this game...so this sucks. she's pretty cute.

can you even see the f***ing ball from those seats on the rooftop? Seat should come with a telescope.

QUOTE (SI1020 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 01:18 PM) There is nothing wrong with realizing that FIP is a bulls*** stat. xFIP not quite as bad. The whole idea of "fielding independent" is faulty IMHO. All that aside even the saber crowd recognizes the limitations of FIP. http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/13019...endent-pitching I still go by my original contention. I hate that stat. except xFIP has been shown time and time again to PREDICT future ERA better than just ERA itself. Everyone wants to point to the one outlier like Mark Buehrle and say see FIP is BS but they ignore the 9/10 where it predicts regression in ERA either way (up or down).

His peripherals still suck. There's not much here other than possible a cromulent 4th starter.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family Knight. My cousin was born prematurely as well and battled severe mental and physical effects until he passed at 17. It was very hard on my aunt and uncle but we remember the good times we had with "Jonathan". Best of luck to you and your family.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) Hard to believe this is a below .500 team watching them play the past few days. when they get elite starting pitching 1-5 or close to it it papers over most of the other problems. thing is, it's not gonna last.

I tell ya what, it's been a very entertaining season one way or another. The ESPN ball slurping of RV and the Sox was hilarious.
