QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 17, 2016 -> 05:53 PM) Gordon was $72 million guaranteed, and Ian Kennedy another $70 million. So that's two bigger than Abreu out of the smallest local t.v. market in MLB. Sox offered Gordon more supposedly, and Kennedy isn't exactly a glowing example of why the sox should be spending big bucks.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Aug 17, 2016 -> 03:19 PM) College and minors combined (3 years), Burdi has pitched a total of 97 innings. I don't know what that means, but I find it interesting. I think it means his college coaches recognized that he is a really good reliever and they would rather use him in that capacity

Wait, the Sox drafted JAKE Burdi? Hold the phone, now it's truly a bad pick. They should have drafted Zach

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 17, 2016 -> 11:44 AM) Previous players drafted at pick #26 have nothing to do with Zack Burdi. Just tossing that out. I don't really think his draft number should matter at all if he comes in and is a nails closer for his entire career. Some people just want to get butt hurt about draft position as if another position player or starter would have been a better pick, regardless of future success. Burdi is pitching like he is damn near untouchable, that is not a bad thing

Nancy Grace doesn't like Brendan Dasseys conviction being overturned, gets shut down by reality

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 16, 2016 -> 11:47 PM) Duffy is quite a success story. Always had good stuff. Made himself a good starter. I despise the Royals but do respect Duffy. Lmao right

Bernstein basically saying Kaplan is bulls***ting

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Aug 16, 2016 -> 03:17 PM) Total theoretical here, but how much, if at all, does the value of the franchise increase if Theo Epstein is put in charge of White Sox baseball operations? 5.237

Now that the confession is deemed involuntary, the state really has nothing else to try him on, correct? I read the state has 90 days to appeal

Looks like Arod is gonna finish the season with the Marlins after he clears waivers, playing first base.

Bolt was literally cheesing for photos at the end of his race, lmao

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 07:23 AM) I'm sure this is fine http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/15/us/po...p.html?referer= MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS MAKING THAT UP

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 07:35 PM) "I'd expect." Sounds more like an opinion than "he will be up." Sure. Right after he said Dave is using him as his source Spin it however you feel, rabbit was on it

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 07:16 PM) Not quite. His tweet was more of opinion than actual fact that they will. No, that's pretty much exactly what he said, in this thread QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 10, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) Dave's source in that tweet is me. I'd expect him up in a week or so. I'll get more info soon. If you see Burdi's gamelogs, the Sox have him throwing every third day. He'll continue on that path. Buddy Bell and Curt Hasler saw one of his last outings.

Sale doesn't get cheated when he gets to hit

Ryan Lochte held up at gunpoint and robbed last night. Rio continues to set the standard in Olympic awesomeness

As soon as I can get sports at a reasonable price I will cut the cord

That's nice

Not that it matters anymore but winning gamethread starter supposed to get the next game until he loses

Whatever Stanton just did, didn't look good

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 13, 2016 -> 04:54 PM) Not only that, but he's a really nice kid, humble, good family, Ivy Leaguer... It's annoying when the Cubs aren't the obvious villains. Thankfully, there's at least Chapman now. And Lackey is the kind of guy it's easy to hate of he's not on your team, and a lot of people are trying to figure out reasons to hate Arrieta, but Sale acting like a 13 year old hasn't helped much...finally, the heart of that current order in Rizzo, Bryant and Zobrist, three more guys you'd be shocked with any of them having an off field issue. Schwarber seems to be like a quality dude as well. Then there's Maddon vs. Ventura, two completely opposite personalities. Maddon and Ventura are actually very similar personalities. Their coaching styles are different but they are both very laid back with a dry sense of humor

Comcast wants this Abreu moment so bad

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 12, 2016 -> 11:11 AM) LMAO Kyle why does "smells like farts" sound like some s*** you would say? Because it is something I would say

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Aug 12, 2016 -> 11:33 AM) I am not sure that it is going to be for as difficult for Cuban as it once was. A lot of ownership has turned over since he made runs at the Cubs and Pirates and with Manfred running the show now, he may feel someone like Cuban could be an asset for the league. I think there is still enough good ole boys to stonewall it
