3B Danny Valencia claimed by the A's
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 10:24 AM) He's an .800 OPS player controlled through 2017. How many .800 OPS guys are there currently on the White Sox team? Why is he being passed around MLB teams like the town bike? And his career OPS is not .800, it is .719. The guy has been exposed against righties, he is what he is. He crushes lefties and sits down against righties

3B Danny Valencia claimed by the A's
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 09:14 AM) Valencia isn't a "placeholder" if used properly. Yes he is. Everyone knows he is a platoon player when lefties are pitching. That is a placeholder for a fulltime player that will take his job

2015 Catch-All thread
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 09:59 AM) Or if you buy a house that doesn't need any work because of problems, but your wife gets bored with the dated, yet entirely functional and ok looking bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, landscaping, etc. Not that I have any personal experience with that or anything... This is already being planned. But it is the both of us. THe house IS dated, it is owned by a couple in their 80s, and it is like stepping back into time when you walk inside, with some of the tile and wall paneling. Its all good though, it is functional, and the house is in great shape.

Jared Fogle/Subway scandal...presumption of guilt?
QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 09:06 AM) He made his living telling people not to eat donuts. You didn't think the cops would eventually go after him? *mild golf clap*

3B Danny Valencia claimed by the A's
QUOTE (SCCWS @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 07:18 AM) But he is a placeholder. We eventually need a run producer at 3rd especailly based on 2nd and SS. Saladino and Sanchez can fight out 2nd next year in ST. They both look more like .240 ML hitters w a good to very good glove Valencia is a placeholder. Switching out placeholders isnt exactly taking steps in resolving the problem

2015-2016 NFL Thread
QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:41 PM) Seahawks went from like 30th in the league on salary cap money towards QB to 2nd. Also Bobby Wager is a free agent after this year. Can't pay everyone. Well, they just paid Bobby Wagner. So they must plan on paying everyone http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/13363697...tract-extension

SOXTALK HOT TAKE: Why the Sox did NOTHING
QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 08:28 AM) Sadly, this is what a half a century's worth of ineptitude can do to a fan base. "Be happy" for a "79-83" record because you got to see "some OK players take the field for the Sox"? I mean, really? You are perfectly fine settling for that because, why? We can tell a Cubs fan we've been to the World Series more recently than their team has? Really? Do Cardinals or Yankees or Giants or Red Sox fans have this kind of mindset and set the bar this low? Holy moly - Sox management must love you. "Accept our mediocrity, don't be mad at our routine meager results, and oh, by the way, while yer at it, come to our park, buy our tickets, purchase our parking, food and merchandise, and watch us on TV. And oh, how do ya like our OK players? Don't they look great in the '83 unis?" Lol - GMAFB!! Drunk sarcasm obviously doesn't cut through your unending desire to complain about Reinsdorfs ownership in every post your make

Sox sign Dayan Viciedo
QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 04:01 AM) Here is my text to Eminor3rd: "The White Sox bring back Viciedo. Of course they do. Can't they ever move on?" At the end of the day, it's a busted talented prospect who's young and has MLB experience who could be something but....naaaaahhhh. Who is this posting

Jared Fogle/Subway scandal...presumption of guilt?
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 10:30 PM) So what, substantively, has he actually been accused of here? Guilt by suspicion or the company you keep? Because he's "creepy" or has made a few inappropriate/creepy comments? He is being investigated for possible underage sex with a minor. I don't really understand why you are acting like the media is driving a lynch mob here. Nobody said anything about it until the FBI raided his house. Whatever would they do that Caulfield? Do you honestly think it is because your mythical "someone" is jealous of him and wants to bring him down?

Jared Fogle/Subway scandal...presumption of guilt?
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 07:14 PM) http://news.yahoo.com/report--jared-fogle-...-201648545.html The media's really getting good at throwing a lot of stuff at the wall and hoping some of it sticks (not unlike that recent NY Times Hillary e-mails story). Maybe Fogle doesn't come across as being a particularly likable dude (perception), but not sure he deserves this insinuation without something more substantive in terms of proof. There's probably enough to worry Subway and cause them to cut ties, but how many times has someone made a comment about a 16 year old or 17 even on SoxTalk...and ended up having a woman getting a secret microphone and copying all their messages to the FBI? Would any of this be happening if he wasn't worth $15 million or whatever and someone is jealous/envious and trying to knock him off his pedestal? Why are you blaming the media? The story broke when the FBI raided his house.

This is more disappointing than the trade deadline

Trayce Thompson on the way
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 04:16 PM) Viciedo signing makes more sense Lmao. Yea, I would love to see him look overmatched some more in a white sox uniform. As if we didn't get enough before

Send down Rodon and Call up EJ
QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 10:08 AM) then why put a pitch restriction on anyone. why spread out a pitcher starts, why when a game is out of reach, they bring in a player to substitute... the answer is easy.... the fear of the unknown > injury. Putting a pitch restriction on someone isn't remotely close to shelving a pitcher for the final two months of the season because there is some outlandish chance that the pitcher hurts himself. That is ridiculous

Attendance 2015
QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) Inside the Cell it is the same bowl. The original upper deck was just like Kauffman (way too steep). Jerry wanted a functional park like Kauffman and he got it. For the team, it's perfect: clubhouses, locker rooms, managers offices, staff offices. For fans it's a blah place that is very acceptable in terms of comfort. ok greg

Attendance 2015
QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 03:38 PM) Reinsdorf was in love with Royals (Kauffman) Stadium for some reason and wanted the same stadium. That's what he got minus fountains. A pretty bland Cell. The Sox were mostly concerned with improving the clubhouses and offices and that's what they got. Except for die hard Sox fans most agree the Cell is a lousy looking ballpark. Great food and drink and all that but lousy ballpark. The cell looks nothing like Kaufman, with or without fountains
