game thoughts here

i understand that Trump showed up and was like "FREE MONEY, IM GONNA GOLF!", but it somewhat surprises me that lifetime politicians like Price, Zinke, Pruitt, Shulkin have showed up and used their positions as black credit cards and it never occurred to any of them that it would be called out.

KCs GM all but confirmed that Albert Wilson is going to the Bears

I am in the camp that thinks Engel is what he is. Can’t think of many players that learned how to hit at 26 or older

More than 30 White House aides lost their top secret intelligence access and had their security clearance downgraded today. Unprecedented https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/201...ecret-clearance

Forte retires

Glennon will officially be cut on the first day of the new NFL year which I think they said was March 14

Glennon and Willie Young cut. Nagy will be on the score at 10

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 28, 2018 -> 09:14 AM) What did the White Sox offer to keep him? Does it matter? You are trying to prove that the system isn’t about making as much money as possible by adding one insignificant example that meant nothing in the long run

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 28, 2018 -> 07:21 AM) Buerhle was willing to do it to keep Uribe around...or defer more. Buehrle took the largest contract offered to him by the marlins and left.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 27, 2018 -> 11:30 AM) At his age, I have full confidence he'll return. There's never a guarantee but I would bet one of Greg's houses on it.

Those players arent even overhyped on soxtalk, much less the entire MLB

Cameron Payne, tank commander

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 01:59 PM) First time since I’ve been going that I’m not doing the all session pass. I’ll be there for all the SIU games though so 1 game it is for me. boo this man

wtf, no white sox audio?

"No solutions are reasonable." Huh

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 09:49 PM) That is the counterpoint and a very legitimate one. Maybe I have too much confidence in JR's ability to sign a mega deal with a player like Machado or maybe I just want this guy on our team badly or maybe seeing Burgur's big azz running the bases scared me. Put Machado at third with the projected line-up we could have and the Sox start looking like a legit contender for a wild card in 2019. If you have the confidence he can sign him to the deal, then you don’t want to give up what Baltimore is going to want. That guy is not going to be traded for a song . I want him too, but I want him to be part of a larger puzzle instead of the main piece

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 09:06 PM) WRONG. The fans who die before the success will have regrets on their deathbeds. Gmab, we aren’t 88 years past a title. They won 13 years ago, get a grip

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 09:24 PM) I do agree with all of this, but I also think most tank jobs don't look as pretty as the Sox does The sox fortunately had three extremely valuable pieces to kickstart things. Teams like the Cubs and Astros had to truly bottom out

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 08:47 PM) Baltimore doesn't need Machado this season so I don't think they would be adverse to trading him. Maybe, just maybe, the Sox have enough decent prospects to make that trade without giving up (and of ) their top 5 or 6 prospects and impacting the rebuild. Perhaps it would take one of our roster players (Avi? Fulmer?) as part of a package for Manny. Once in the Sox fold, I think JR would be able to sign him long term. After seeing Burgur run out that triple like a fat-bottomed girl, I want the Sox to go after Machado like a beach. No. Do not give anything up for him when he can walk at the end of the season

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 06:27 PM) Rick Morrissey has a rather interesting column in todays Sun Times. He thinks this so called rebuild is just another word for tanking. He doesn't buy into this tanking. He thinks its bad for sports in general. I happen to agree with him. I think this White Sox rebuild/tanking is wrong. Well I know we all long for the days of 200 strike out years from Dunn and 75-80 wins, but hey what can you do QUOTE (wrathofhahn @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 08:37 PM) Not really seeing who you get back and watching the kids grow is a hell of alot more exciting then watching a team going nowhere I havent followed the progress of prospects and rookies this closely in my entire life.

FWIW there is no discussion about banning anyone right now. Being an Eeyore and saying the same untrue thing over and over isn’t a personal attack on anyone at Soxtalk. And I doubt Reinsdorfs feelings are hurt

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Feb 24, 2018 -> 11:42 PM) Instead of arming teachers, why not let the retired vets do the job? I bet they’d be way more than happy to each take a day per week protecting their community schools. Then we honor them and s*** and it’s all good. This idea is just crazy and I’m pretty sure you know that. Let’s put guys, many of whom already have problems with ptsd and issues integrating back into society, into a school with a directive to protect against a possible school shooter. What happens if one of them sees something that isn’t there and opens fire on the kids? Are we going to vet all of them for mental health? Because that seems to be quite an issue right now with normal people, much less trained war veterans. I don’t want my kids going to school where someone with a gun is patrolling the halls at all times comparing it to a war https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/02...rd-schools.html

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 24, 2018 -> 11:21 PM) Differences of opinion make life interesting. Some of us are skeptical about the Sox front office. Being skeptical doesn’t mean you have to announce in every thread that you think that this will be the cheapest rebuild ever and JR is going to keep every dollar. It’s beyond ridiculous anymore and there is literally nothing backing up his claim

LuBob it is
