QUOTE (reiks12 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 11:01 AM) When is Robert supposed to be back? On March 10 they said 10 weeks.

Does anyone believe that Mike Pence is going to South America instead of Donald Trump because of Syria?

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 10:20 AM) Long read, but I'm sure will spark much debate and conversation. Read and comment away. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/the-whit...hanged-history/ There are some pretty significant data errors in there. Sox Park does not seat over 40,000. It is more like 38,000. Wrigley is also a bigger stadium in terms of capacity with their renovations. They can seat nearly 42,000 for a game.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 08:05 PM) I LOL'd at your facebook post on the pool. I really wanted to reply, "after you threw the chicken bones in the pool, did you ask for a discount" haha. I wish. The wife went up to the desk to tell them about everything that happened (sadly that wasn't even the most disgusting thing) and then told them that she didn't want them to do anything other than fix the messes! WTF!

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 11:31 PM) You are correct - he was not a fan of “Einsdorf”, or Reinsdorf and Einhorn, for that matter. Can’t imagine why. Caray only had 37 years in the business vs. “Einsdorf” and their one year - what did he know! Meanwhile, Caray didn’t “quit” on the White Sox. He made a very astute business decision on his part to not sign up for the disaster of a proposal that was the Sox’ with SportsVision in favor of the sure-fire winner with the Cubs and WGN. As for his honor ability, he never missed a game his entire career, spent 25 years with the Cardinals, 11 with the Sox, and 17 with the Cubs. Seems to me he was as honorable to his employers as they could hope for! Its funny to see this post in the 21st century, what with pretty much every single game of baseball being on cable, and WGN being dead as a regional sportscasting network. While this might have been right in 1988, in 2018 it is laughable. It turns out Jerry and Eddie were actually just ahead of their time. Hell the Cubs are about to form their own cable network by themselves.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 11:06 PM) Utley is going to be an interesting case. He's our generations Lou Whitaker. Close, but no.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 07:20 PM) This may be an unpopular opinion, but If Gio has a similar career to Floyd, it would be a great outcome for the Sox. Seeing as he is here now, and seemingly mechanically fixed, I would hope for that as a floor versus a mid level.

Double steal. Fun. Now make them pay Avi.

Call upheld: AKA not enough to overturn or confirm.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 04:09 PM) That's like saying "I like everything Jose Abreu has to offer as a football player". Bernie is entirely about economic policy. He's the Rand Paul of the left.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 04:08 PM) Anyone have any updates on Eloy/Hansen? I can't find any threads on them here or in future Sox There haven't been any updates.

Nice two out run. The Sox just keep hanging around.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 03:18 PM) Bernie wing Dems, do you see SS2k5 and raBBit both coming to your defense? Why do you think that is? Do they really agree with you on policy, or do they just want to undermine Democratic politics? Because Dam, GoSox, Sqwert, etc - you and these two could not be further apart on policy. Its because others can see character assassination from a mile away. Besides, you seem to be the one who doesn't care about policy, only about how the way a person speaks about things appears to others.

QUOTE (Richie @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 03:02 PM) When a guy's doing stuff like that, you know he's confident and playing loose out there. He's a whole new guy since this time last year.

It is really nice to see Anderson playing with some swagger again.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 02:27 PM) That would still be more enjoyable to watch than what we're seeing this afternoon. lol, what did you expect a rebuild to look like?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 01:49 PM) Kopech can't come soon enough! Kopech isn't going to be an innings eater until he cuts his walks/game to the 2 to 2.5 range. He might throw 110 pitches, but he'll only be looking at 5 or 6 innings to do it.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 01:46 PM) History of oppression of blacks is an emotional response devoid of substance, says the privileged white guy. You could be actually doing something on the ground in your community, or trying to enact policies as Sanders believes is right, to enact actual change. Instead you worry about the party and its look. You are the definition of MLK's "White Moderate".

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 01:32 PM) Ah yes. Why be respectful of the people this country has systemically oppressed since its founding over 250 years ago when you, as an old privileged white guy, are absolutely certain you've got all the answers? Good point. #ReasonsRepubsIdentifyWithBernie This is Trump-esque in its stretch for an emotional response over any actual substance. This is the exact type of garbage that has enabled the system we have in place.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 12:29 PM) The fact that he can't appreciate context, and that he doesn't seem to understand that there's a time and place to say certain things and NOT to say certain things, is not going to do him any favors given his reputation with minority voters. It's just stupid, and it's part of the thing we hate about Trump. He can't not put his foot in his mouth, and it happens over and over because he thinks his opinion is more important than anyone else's all the time. Bernie doing foreign policy, for instance, would be f***ing awful. How dare he support actual policies over pandering to people. What a monster!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 12:57 PM) Whenever I read about curve balls I often wonder if the best curve ballers throw them at different speed with varying degrees of break on on them. I know the best do that but it's not something you read about very often. You do hear Hawk bring it up occasionally. So I am asking did Floyd or does Gio threw/throw different versions of the curve ? Occasionally Steve Stone will talk about tempo on a curveball as well. It is an interesting listen.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 12:55 PM) Anybody know how I can watch the game online at the office? My U-verse wont stream WGN. Does their app provide live TV broadcast? If you have a cable/satellite system that carries comcast you can download the nbcsports app to your phone for games on CSN. It will ask you for your user name and password for that company's sign in to verify that you are a customer for them. I use it as a comcast subscriber on a regular basis.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 10:59 AM) Illinois had a ton of interest in him and apparently vice versa, but Illinois has a staffer that used to coach him and the NCAA rejected their appeal to the rule that doesn't allow that. Fair ruling by the NCAA but still sucks. He's going to balance the floor really nicely up there. He can score off of the bounce and has a really nice outside game. Also can drive whenever he wants, though he is kind of passive in his game.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 12:10 PM) Print them out, and exchange at the box office. Thanks for the tip. Just bought the cheapest 4 pack of club seats for $12 each. At $67 (including fees) that is cheaper than 1 club seat usually costs.
