If it's done that far ahead, no way they could keep it quiet that long

In a Nationals uniform. ?

Yah, I get that from time to time ?

Hah! I might be the longest tenured member with the lowest (or near lowest) number of posts. Lurker level: master... ?

Yeah, I can see one of them from my office... No dice. ?

can't wait for sox to sign Cespedes. One of my friends can't pronounce names well, and has already said Cespedes=Speedy (Gonzalez )

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 11:05 PM) I could be mistaken, but it looks like that Patrick Howard guy deleted some of his sketchier tweets (Melky/LaRoche DH platoon, etc). Obviously he was a long-shot to begin with, but I'd say he's 100% full of s*** now. Edit: Looks like I was wrong and the Melky DH tweet is still there, but others do appear gone. Even given a golden nugget of info does not make his opinion matter.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:32 AM) It's fluid. Salary is only one factor. Tough to call an order of preference just yet. They really like Gordon though... Is fluidity going to necessitate a deal to spin off somebody elsewhere for some salary relief? LaRoche, Danks?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:19 AM) They are targeting an impact OF but the outcome is not only up to them. of course, just wasn't sure if they had it narrowed down to only pursuing one of them, and not the others for one reason or another

is it Gordon or none of the "big 3" ?

Acquire another Reds player? Adam Dunn and Adam LaRoche say hello. At least his name isn't Adam, too...

Just wait until we need someone to pitch the 14th inning of game 3 of the World Series...

Ramon Castro jersey is about the most oddball jersey om ebay right now, unless you want linebrink, reed or semien

I wish some of these obscure old jerseys would show up on ebay or something. Need a Perry... or Blum even.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 08:44 PM) Eaton too...sets the tone with his style of play and enthusiasm. Hopefully he also trains them on how to use Twitter to embarrass dumb cubs fans.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 09:16 PM) Or 1983. Or 1959. Or 1915-1919. McDowell, Alex Fernandez, Wilson Alvarez, Jason Bere and Greg Hibbard would disagree, too. Yeah, 93 would be there as well

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 08:07 PM) Can you imagine if we got Masterson? We might have the best rotation in Sox history, OK modern Sox history. Sale, Q, Samardja, Masterson (if he rebounds), Danks (if he continues to rebound). All those other guys in the bullpen? Robin could have some amazing options. 2005 says hello.

Does IP Board not have a plugin to rotate banners/images? The Vbulletin site I manage has a banner rotation plugin and I can have many different banners, and each page load chooses one at random.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 11:34 AM) 1. Why can't people let go of AJ Pierzynski? He's not coming back. Stop suggesting it. 2. Why do people want to dump Adam Dunn so that the Sox can re-sign Paul Konerko? It doesn't make any sense. PK is Right handed which is one issue. He's also bad which is a 2nd problem. Dunn had a better year than PK last year. In fact, there aren't many seasons in which Konerko's year was better than Dunn's year. I am willing to bet that Dunn's season next year will be better than Paul Konerko's season next year as well. Come on guys. These things don't make any sense. The Sox already have a mascot. They don't need another one and that is what Paul Konerko would be at this point. I actually think that if the Sox could get some kind of return for Dunn, while paying a bit, there actually is indeed a good fit for AJ. He could be used as DH if not catching. LH bat and decent contact hitter. not to mention the impact on the clubhouse and fans. Not sure why you insist he cannot come back. It's not necessarily a high possibility, but stranger things have happened.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 11:52 PM) Alright about to go play GTA and then hit the hay. Nugget: One of the Agencies who have been in touch "informally" with the Sox fairly recently has been ACES. Do some research and you can probably get some names. Buck and DeJesus, to name a few
