Braves among teams showing interest in chris sale
QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 09:26 AM) He ended the year on a hot streak, but he was hitting terribly around the all-star break (which is why you might think he can't hit). Turned it on after the break and had a pretty good year overall. His defense keeps his value afloat no matter what though. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...p;year=&t=b May was his bad month. Everything else, he was decent to pretty good

I started listening to a few different podcasts recently, and listened to the Joe Rogan experience yesterday, and his guests are Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson. Anyone interested in ancient civilizations, comet impacts, egypt, extinction events, you need to listen to this podcast. It is absolutely fascinating

Pros and cons of trading Sale and Q this offseason
QUOTE (WBWSF @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 07:43 AM) Judging by what I've been reading everywhere it looks like Sale is going to be moved for prospects. Unproven prospects. Would anybody be surprised to see that most of those prospects turn out to be a bust? Remember the infamous White Flag trade when the key to the trade was Mike Caruso? KW said that Caruso was a grinder type of player who White Sox fans would come to love. Caruso was a grinder but he had one major flaw, he couldn't play shortstop. Every ball hit to him was an adventure. After 2 seasons he was gone and he was never seen again in MLB. Trading Sale and Quintana could turn out to be the biggest PR disaster since the White Flag Trade. I'm really worried that we're in some real dark years on the South Side of Chicago. Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am. Remember when the other parts of that trade helped the Sox win the division in 2000? Caruso wasnt the only player in that trade that made the majors, Howry and Foulke had pretty good careers and both of them were key parts of the 2000 team. Look, i understand people are worried about a rebuild. It is risky and there are no guarantees. But insinuating that the Sox shouldnt go down that path because of a trade that happened almost 20 years ago is ridiculous.

Rumor: Dodgers & Sox discussing Sale & Frazier
QUOTE (SCCWS @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 07:38 AM) I understand dude. Hypothetically you and I want their starting outfield plus Moncada and Devers..........................................and the people in hell want ice water. My point was he didn't put out a realistic trade. Didnt really seem like your point at all. Seemed like your point was to call his source dumb, and now you are backtracking it to what you feel is realistic

Rumor: Dodgers & Sox discussing Sale & Frazier
QUOTE (SCCWS @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) I would say he is a lousy source. There is no way Boston would trade JBJ and Benintendi in any trade. That would leave them with 2 starting outfield vacancies. These people are just throwing stuff out and hoping something sticks. That wasn't a source rumor, that was Callis being asked what he would want from Boston for Sale

**2016 TV Watercooler Thread**
QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) I mean that's a possibility I suppose, but that leaves us going through a season or more of a storyline that just gets wiped away with a reset button. That's just poor story telling if that's where they're going with it. Not really, I think what this season is establishing is that these bots have a memory that cannot be wiped away cleanly and completely, and they are starting to remember previous lives(which is confusing their creators). I also think Ford is responsible for this, i just dont know his motive for it(yet)

**2016 TV Watercooler Thread**
QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 09:19 AM) The only problem with the Young William/Old William scenario is that we would have to believe that at the end of the Young William/Dolores adventure, she basically gives up on her new found freedom and reverts back to being a dumb host as she is portrayed in Episode 1 with Old William. I like the idea of a "real" Bernard though. Gives up? I would think she would have been reprogrammed, i dont think it would be voluntary

John Feinstein just said on his sport minute that if you are busted for PEDs once it should be a full year suspension and a second failed test should be banishment from the NFL. I really can't stand that guy

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 02:49 PM) What is going on with Howard. Did he have an achilles injury or doesn't he? after the game he said nothing is wrong with him, he is fine. I have no idea why Fox spreads misinformation like that, if that ends up being true. That is way outside of misdirecting the next opponent

Will Brett Lawrie be Non-Tendered?
QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 12:55 PM) Hmmm. Not really any disparaging comments towards the Sox, but interesting nonetheless. He said "they put me in orthotics", seems like he is blaming the sox for his injuries. You can blame the Sox for a lot of things, but bad medical decisions arent normally one of them

2016-2017 NFL Thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 11:24 AM) This is one of those hard games to evaluate. The defense looked fantastic the first half until it seemed to wither after all the meltdowns by the Bears offense. Jordan Howard and Floyd played fantastic. Hell, the dline looked great for the 1st half. Disappointing how the defense came out to start the second half though. I didn't pay much attention after that. The big thing to me is Floyd is looking like a legit pass-rusher, which is huge and despite the fumble, Howard looked like a beast. Cutler was freaking awful. Worst game I've ever seen him play. Oline didn't help him, but man that was ugly. He looked off the whole game. not worse than that first MNF game against the Packers

President-Elect Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 10:22 AM) So, how long do you think the "not Hillary" hangover will last? By that I mean how long will the people who voted for him wait to turn on him for not doing what he campaigned on. (Deporting Mexicans and Muslims, prosecuting Clinton). That's a couple of examples I don't see happening. (at least not wholesale (deportations)) i dunno man, i continue to be surprised at how much people love what he says and completely ignore what he does.
