QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 23, 2015 -> 07:06 AM) fans are always talking about getting this player or that player, that is part of being a fan. so with that how am i doing it differently?? being disappointed that the Sox didnt sign a player is a lot different from saying "The Sox will make 190 million dollars so they should spend it all, and Jerry is cheap/frugal because he didnt sign XXXXXXX player".

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 23, 2015 -> 06:50 AM) it wasn't just the signing of Beachy that got to me, it was prob the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. first, i have always stated that as an owner, he has the right to make money. but earlier in the offseason the FO was stating they didn't have money only enuf to spend xx amount to improve. then the FO said, they couldn't spend without the fans supporting them and spending money to help spend on FA's. then someone found the TV money deal on, i don't know, maybe forbes. the bottom line, is this team to sooo close to doing something that has happen once in the last 10 yrs. i look back at JR and his legacy is going to be 1 ws where several could have been done, b/c of being frugal, too frugal. the sox can make the playoff, this team is loaded, but there are holes. i am a fan and i been saying this team can make the playoff before many posters and some doubt it, that is ok, but i am not blind to know that there are holes. This is patently false

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 11:19 PM) I can't believe this fight is happening over Brandon Beachy I just don't understand how Beachy can sign with the Dodgers and it becomes an indictment on Reinsdorf. I think that is terrible

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 09:19 PM) and this offseason, the fans finally found out how much money JR and owners have to bank. the tv money imcome alone is 190 + mil a yr. the salary of the sox is 120+ mil a net profit of 60+ mil and the income from the fans, concessions, commercial leasing etc.... adds to that profit margin. the sox have several areas of concerns, 2 of Garcia and Eaton who are a health concern backup ---- Bonifacio Jose A, has to be healthy ---- backup LaRoche chris sale ---- backup ??? rodon and in a playoff race, how bout those innings oh i forgot how important another backup for that infield is so they went out and got beckham. how bout a backup for the catcher---- ??? the bench.. thompson, jb shuck those players really strike fear in the opposing pitchers. this team can really build something special and can keep it going. So, because you found out how much the sox really make, you get to tell them how to spend it and be angry with them and be angry at Jerry because he didn't sign people that you have determined they need?

B.J. Upton will go by the name Melvin Upton Jr. this year. Upton will explain his reasoning when he reports to #Braves camp.

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 05:34 PM) this is the sox trying to save money, how much profit does the owners need. What does this even mean? Him not signing with the sox does not equal Reinsdorf being a penny pincher. The guy is coming off his second tommy john surgery

Pop also doesn't give canned bulls*** answers. He gives no answers, at all. They ask a question and he ignores it

If the Sox are in contention at the deadline and Shark is flipped for prospects, then something crazy is going on.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 20, 2015 -> 10:13 PM) As expected, his comments stole the headlines today. So we'll see if it was smart or not later. I don't see how in this day and age anybody anywhere is a shoo in for the playoffs because of the use/overuse of bullpens. I mean if our bullpen is trash, our team will be trash. Same with everybody, including KC. They are now banking on the same formula every night. They want to get to 7/8/9 inning guys every night. No law says those 3 have to be as effective as they were late last season/postseason. I personally would love if baseball/Sox brass would allow its starters to go seven full innings. It's a lot easier to navigate two innings than 3 or 4 IMO. If our closer is as good as expected, we'd be in great shape just getting through the eighth. I realize that is an impossibility; starters only go six nowadays or six and change. The Sox brass doesn't set inning limits on pitchers over the season, at least not how you are suggesting

Why are you so goddamn frustrating to watch, Chicago Bulls?

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 20, 2015 -> 05:58 AM) Unless that doctor lost his job because of it, I doubt anything comes of it. It's called Freedom of Speech. Punk probably has evidence of negligence as well. All punk has to do is prove he had a staph infection, one would think

If Ozzie says this, greg is getting a bronze statue commissioned and commending him for being so awesomely brash. Ventura says it, and greg cites Vegas and mopes about how bad he expects them to be.

I think that Gar and Thibs simply dont like each other, and I think Pax likes both but would choose Gar. Just my take based on the little we have heard about what is going on

@scottmerkin: Crain started throwing in January. He's off the mound now: "Really every time I go out there I feel like I’m getting stronger."

Rumors floating that Bosh has a blood clot in his lung and they will announce today that he is done for the season. Scary stuff

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 20, 2015 -> 09:02 AM) Then they hired Ozzie Guillen, the Sox finished 90-72 and won the whole damn thing. Ozzie starts Timo in the first sunday game, who goes 4-4 and then starts for the rest of the season. This dream is fantastic

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 20, 2015 -> 07:56 AM) I feel sorry for folks with this mindset. Don't watch Jaws! Or The Graduate! They look dated!!!! Yea, i got over it. Good shows and good movies remain good, regardless of the date

If you pay Samardzija something like that, Jerry better be ready to open up the vault for Sale(should he stay healthy) when it comes time.

there is so much funny "OMG that is old stuff!" sentiment in here. And I get it, i felt that way about stuff from the 70s and 60s

It would be funny if he ended up on the Bulls after he gave Noah so much s*** for going into the OKc lockerroom a few years ago

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 05:03 PM) Hard to say that offense is "Devoid of talent". Pretty sure he was saying that the offense was the reason we thought they would be contenders, not that it was devoid of talent

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 01:02 PM) Kirk Hinrich to the 76ers for a bag of potato chips dont ever lie about serious business ever again. EVER

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 11:58 AM) I'm offended by the bolded. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 10:48 AM) Could do that. By the way, if you want to feel old... Sigourney Weaver is now 65 years old (turns 66 in October), and Michael Biehn is 59 (turns 60 in July). Wow. One of them looks their age, the other does not
