rumors i have heard/read about the gift are 1. The Horn 2. The Sand Snakes(revenge for killing their daughter) 3. Gendry (the last challenge to the legitimacy of the throne for Cersei) 4. Varys/Tyrion (for betraying them to Dany) The last one i see as being the least probable because you simply cannot sneak in and grab either of them

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 11:13 AM) Can we talk openly in this thread without spoiler tags? Because I thought it was very interesting that Euron mentioned he was going to get something to prove his loyalty to Cersei. And there is a certain item from the books that might be useful when giant dragons are about to invade your kingdom. Spoiler thread, enter at your own risk

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 10:34 AM) I do think the playbook of mentioning Hillary every time there is a crisis is getting pretty old. If she is a criminal, charge her with something or STFU. His entire playbook is 3 pages

Martin Landau 89 George Romero 77

Beck is so much garbage

Apparently a closed door meeting with State governors and Tom Price and Mike Pence to sway them on Trumpcare was atrocious.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 12:29 PM) Sounds like Frazier is in the lineup for the time being. #hugwatch....... begins

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 08:54 AM) Remember when all we got for Ray Durham was Jon Adkins? That still is disgusting

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 09:51 PM) There is no way that I would have helped the cubs chances of reaching the world series again. Hahn felt differently but as a cub fan growing up in Wilmette, he does not share the animosity that most south side sox fans have for the cubs. Bob Nightengale's Tweets appeared to confirm that Milwaukee was trying hard to get Quintana. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/885883624641355778 So Epstein was concerned that Hahn would trade Q to the Brewers. Perhaps Hahn should have asked for more from Epstein or went back to the Brewers and given them the last opportunity to trade for him, or maybe held on to Q at least until the end of the trade deadline. I would never deal with Epstein or the cubs, ever. How much sauce do you need for this meatball? Get over yourself, this "waaaah Hahn was a Cubs fan growing up" narrative you have created is pathetic. Hahn makes the best deals for the team that employs him, he doesn't look for ways to help the Cubs. This deal has been roundly praised around the league and has shot the sox farm system to the top and you are butthurt because it helps the cubs. gmafb

This is looking like Shields is about to give up a (large number)-burger. He looks uncomfortable

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 11:47 AM) Rizzo is not an idiot, so to me this is screaming that they just don't have budget. This could be an attempt of saying "look seriously we have no options, we need to take on at least another 10 mill." The Nationals dont strike me as a team that is hurting for money, i would think their ownership would be able to add some players like Robertson. I feel like this is Rizzo being unwilling to meet trade demands because he wants to keep his prospects. I can understand that to a point, but at the same time this team is so close to being World Series worthy. I mean, this is the same guy who sat Strasburg in the final stretch of a season where they were clearly a top team in the league, at Boras's request.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 10:54 AM) The Nats bullpen is like the village bicycle. Everyone gets a turn. I feel like every time Rizzo does something like this he is saying "Please work" over and over

Yankees SP Michael Pineda diagnosed with partially torn UCL

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal Sources: #Nationals promoting relievers Trevor Gott and Austin Adams. Sammy Solis back to minors. K-Rod not currently under consideration.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:02 PM) I spoke with several Sox and Cub fans around town today and to a man, every cub fan liked the trade and every so fan was madder than he11. Why make a trade that helps the cubs...in any way shape of form? Hahn had other alternatives. So what are the available alternatives to the fifth best prospect in baseball?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 07:19 PM) I think Honel could have been good, he just got injured. And scared the white sox away from high schoolers for a while

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 06:58 PM) Ok, the Reed thing makes me wonder, and I want some input from older folks... Back in the day, late 1990s-early 2000s, I was a pre-teen so my actual understanding of prospects was pretty limited, but it seemed like we had a pretty kickass system. Rauch, Reed, Owens, Borchard, Sweeney, Honel, Hummel, Malone, Wells, Fogg, Barcelo...just to name a few. None turned into anything for us, and very few did anything for anyone else. (I admit I may be squeezing together players from different eras too). So, that said, was our farm system ever like this? Late 80s Early 90s had Ventura, Thomas, McDowell, Alvarez, Bere, Cora, Fernandez, Hernandez, all come up within about a five year period. And they packed vets around them when they were ready 94 was setting up to be ridiculous Edit: I thought Cora spent time in the minors after they acquired him but that is incorrect

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 05:31 PM) I hate the banner . Bunch of superstitious poop youz guys are crapping Seriously ! I just don't think you can handle all that Asche up in your face. Look at that banner, all the manliness

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 05:06 PM) Has anybody seen the Rum Bunter account? Jesus he's so salty I will be a big Cubs fan when Q faces the Pirates

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 05:17 PM) Holland, Shields and Pelfrey for sure and reliever D Rob

Nope

I know Cowley said they were talking about it, and he does suck, it's just crazy to think that trade went that bad so fast

Wait, payne has been released?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 01:05 PM) I realized this week that GarPax turned LaMarcus Aldridge, Taj Gibson, one 1st round, and two second round picks into Joffrey Lauvergne. Even more disgusting when you look at the pick value. Lavergne and Payne cost I believe 3 first rounders and 3 2nd rounders :/

We can now put to bed the "soft rebuild; get rid of the clubhouse cancers" conspiracy theories
