Look, I applaud you for being a good fan and showing up as much as you can. Let me know when the sox are in the bottom 10 of attendance consistently. This isn't an attack on you, this is just pointing out that Sox fans don't show up and pack the park regularly. Nobody annointed me anything, I'm not generalizing anything. I'm sorry that you get butt hurt every time someone insinuates that Sox fans don't show up and pack the park, but they don't. So you, you can also spare me.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Sep 14, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) The Phillies did pretty well in that trade. Jared Eickhoff is already a mid-rotation arm. Jake Thompson, while he struggled this year in majors, has the chance to be a top of the rotiation arm. Two top 100 prospects, one of which is catcher, plus another arm. Not a bad deal for the Phillies. None of this is really instant success though. Nothing has changed for the Phillies much, they are still a bad team but are on pace for a few more wins. they certainly look like they won the trade, but it isnt instant success, which is what the question asked about.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Sep 14, 2016 -> 01:14 PM) The Phillies last year? Who was their ace? and if instant more success is instead of going 63-99 then jumping to possibly winning 70-72 games(currently at 64-81), then i guess the white sox are on this "instant more success" track

QUOTE (captain54 @ Sep 14, 2016 -> 12:19 PM) Point well taken, and duly noted. Just to clarify. You have an admin of a Sox fan board that takes every opportunity to rip and belittle Sox fans. Doesn't that strike you as odd? it's tiresome and annoying. Shouldn't putting out fires effectively begin with squelching the source? Putting out fires = telling people they cant voice their opinion? (and before anyone jumps on this statement, all three of you have MORE than voiced your own opinions and none of it has been "squelched") He hasnt ripped or belittled anything, merely pointed out that Sox fans simply dont show up when they need to. Its an unfortunate truth

Captain, Thad, SS2K5, just stop talking to each other. You three turn threads into nonsense repeating the same tired things over and over. Guess what? you wont change each others minds. The end.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 14, 2016 -> 09:05 AM) The problem is you can do the same thing with the Royals and Tigers. Strip away KC's fifth starter and they're on a pace for 94 wins and the playoffs despite everything else (tepid offense, Soria, injuries, Yost). Take away Sanchez and Pelfrey, the Tigers suddenly become one of the best teams in baseball despite JD Martinez, Castellanos and Maybin missing time. lmao no

I'm not really feeling the sky is falling after yesterday. To each their own though

Alshon looks pretty f***ing unstoppable

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 01:17 AM) Should make another thread for best HBO Documentaries. I would start with Paradise Lost and then The Jinx. I also love the Iceman stuff too. Paradise Lost is a really good documentary but it is so hard to watch. The videos of when they find the kids are just heart breaking. The Iceman interviews are a great watch. That was truly a man with no moral compass

Denver went headhunting all day yesterday and the refs didn't stop it once. Poor show for their concussion safety protocols

Thanks again for all of the kind words. We all don't know each other, but we all interact pretty much daily and while many of us fight and argue, it is not unlike a family for me. Reading some of the messages and PMs makes me feel better, thank you all for that.

QUOTE (harkness @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 07:58 AM) He had 8 RBI in July.... I guess June was decent. RBI is dependent on other players, can't hang all of that on Jose

Thanks everyone, your thoughts and prayers are all appreciated

@csnmoonmullin odd #Bears roster shuffle - cut LS Aaron Brewer, bring back Patrick Scales, who was Robbie Gould's LS last year - ?? - cut G Amini Silatolu

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 4, 2016 -> 08:35 AM) Actually, another poster has warned us over and over again not to expect anything out of the 26th pick. Of course, Mike Trout was selected just after that. At this point, it's probably better to hold back the "reveal" for 2017, as selling Fulmer and Burdi as being like two new acquisitions will be a key element of the offseason marketing strategy. This is your chance...do you believe Burdi will end up with more career saves for the White Sox than David Robertson? I seriously could give a s*** where he was drafted and hope he is as good as advertised by everyone but you

Poor Mr. Smith doesn't get asked about his season, injury, future prospects with the Sox. Of course, we saw it before with Rodon and Austin. At least we don't have comments from Cubs' prospects on him, so there's that. Well at least we have you to let us know not to believe in the hype

Thinking about the hot air balloon fest in Huntley

yea, at this point counting on Royal seems to be foolish. His concussion thing this preseason doesnt seem like a good omen
