QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 11:13 AM) Right. And the foundation of the slant Sox old english logo is just so strong. The idea of even rebranding to a batterman-type logo (looking like spring training) might be the worst suggestion. If anything, I would update the uniform and keep the logo. And even then, I wouldn't do it. The White Sox have had pinstripes as long as the Yankees have. I liked the taking of the batterman. I hated the block SOX on it. I loved what they did with bringing the batterman into the black and white without the block SOX.

For anyone who thinks Hawk is bad today, you missed out on what was the absolutely worst announcer on the planet at the end of his career in Harry Carry. I am just old enough to not have caught the glory days that people talk about when he was apparently good, because I never heard or saw it. God he was awful. But since he died he has been apparently canonized.

QUOTE (Soha @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 11:51 AM) Eh, I don't know. If you can land a White Sox version of Kris Bryant in the draft - that's going to be darn near impossible to top anywhere else, including from a Quintana trade. Of course, landing that type of player I understand is a longshot, both with getting that pick, and him actually working out to that degree. In the Chris Sale deal we got a Kris Bryant potential level of player in Moncada, as well as Kopech and Basabe. If a draft were to occur today, all three would be first round picks based on their ceilings. Kopech would be a top 5 pick at lowest.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) I love my S7, but I stupidly ran without a case for the first few months and shattered the back glass on Thanksgiving by dropping it onto a tile floor. Figure that's compromised the IP68 rating, which was a selling point for me. I got mine a couple of months after they came out, and they were giving away $75 worth of accessories with it at Best Buy when we got them. I got a case and screen protector for that exact reason. I destroyed my s5 almost the exact same way.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 08:11 PM) The S8's hardware looks great. I contemplated ordering one. Then I remembered Samsung's crap software goes to a crawl after a few months like Windows Vista. I hope Samsung at least pioneered the industry for new screen technology and design. Because the S8 is a gorgeous piece of hardware. My s7 is about a year old and still humming like a beast.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 07:27 PM) My wife just bought a Subaru Forester a few months back. I am very impressed. From the car buying experience, the after purchase follow ups, and driving the vehicle it has been all first rate. She has all the safety features imaginable. I love the intelligent cruise control. If they made a 3/4 ton pickup it would be my next truck. Pretty sure that would be a capitol offense in Texas.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 07:42 PM) Yeah, I'm not gonna actively root for us to lose. I'm totally aware of the benefits it could reap, but I can't actively want it to happen. That is just it. I think we get MORE benefits from the team playing well and having assets to trade, than we do for moving up a few draft pick slots. Sure we get a better player up front, but I think potential packages for guys like Avi, Frazier, Melky, Robertson etc, would long outweigh the better draft pick position. We'd be getting multiple players back, who are closer to the majors, and more of a known quantity.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 10:31 PM) Our current pinstripe look is a modern classic. The 83s are tacky. This. They are the perfect example of 80's awfulness.

Subtle, but I like it.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Apr 1, 2017 -> 10:02 AM) Not that it matters, but what is the theory behind Cody Asche on the roster? 1200 PAs and .684 OPS. .298 OBP. Just that he hits left-handed? Just to piss you off.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 04:40 PM) I don't need Seth Beer. They need to pick top 5 though. They need the bigger bonus pool and it would be ideal to pick top 5 in a loaded draft class. Winning 65 games is better than winning 75 games. Winning 75 games is a poor way to pull off what they're trying to do. If you are sitting home for the playoffs, you might as well reap the actual rewards of rebuilding. If this team wins 75 games, it means a lot of guys will have trade value, which did not have trade value before.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 02:25 PM) Sure but who are you sacrificing off the roster? Half of the roster is worthless. Maybe you find someone slightly less worthless to replace them with.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 02:07 PM) Scott Merkin @scottmerkin now Rymer Liriano and Giovanni Soto cleared waivers and have been outrughted to Triple-A Charlotte Nice to see they both cleared. Would really like to see Liriano take advantage of what might his last real chance.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 01:32 PM) Q wins Cy Young, Abreu MVP, Moncada/Giolito/Lopez finish top 3, for ROY. 90+ wins. Sox lose World Series to Cubs in Game 7 on an Avi error Avi would be dead before he got back to the bench.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 11:52 PM) I disagree. Or at the least, I think that's changing and has changed. I am not sure how old you are but I know you're older than me. But as a millennial, I think it has changed because of social media and yoga pants among other things. The whole instagram thing and women's clothing style changes is all catered towards girls' butts. I remember when I was a freshman in high school (I am pretty young) and girls started wearing yoga pants to school and it was mind-blowing for the guys. Once a few girls started wearing them everyone did. Guys would gossip about girls when they were wearing yoga pants. I remember a friend coming up to me and saying, "Did you see Victoria?" and I said no and he said, "She's wearing those tight black elastic-y pants today. You should see her butt." We didn't even know they were called yoga pants. Just like the girls with great boobs tend to show cleavage, the girls with the great butts were more likely to wear yoga pants. Yoga pants changed everything for white people. By the time I was senior, not only were guys (all guys, black guys, white guys, etc.) obsessed with butts, but girls who started working out to better their bodies were showing their butts in progress pictures just as often as they would show stomach. I am sure this is weird for the older guys to hear but when I was first on Myspace, Xanga, Facebook (7th-9th grade) girls would edit their picture to make their boobs bigger. When I got older, the girls would edit the pictures to bring in their sides and extenuate their butts. There are plenty of girls who brag about doing squats. If I were to generalize white dudes I'd say they were definitely late to the butt craze but they're probably split at this point. Of course it's not as likely for a white dude to be into ass as a black guy, but to your point, white dudes, in general, lean toward skinnier figures where black dudes gravitate towards thicker girls. Nobody would argue you on that. In the black community, asses are essential to the "dream girl." In the white community, it's always about blonde girls. Who cares about hair color. I just don't get the guys who have a "type." Whether it's looks or personality, there are so many guys that just keep ending up with a girl who is just like the girl before them. With me it has always been, I am attracted to a girl to some varying extent, I end up talking to her and if we have chemistry, I start to notice all the good things about her. To SirMixALot
