QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 01:35 PM) There was no questioning of your fandom in my post. I legitimately just thought you were a Stars fan, so I was joking about the loss to the Marlies last night. If you are not, then OK, I'll save my jokes for one of the other 78 people in the state of Texas that care about hockey. Well, at least the ones that didn't come from somewhere up north.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 01:29 PM) so you guys think these are phony quotes or is it that Hahn's words were not intended to convey any message. Re-reading the article I think he is obviously trying to put things into perspective. All of these other teams that people want to emulate took between 5 and 10 years of being awful to get to where they are now. The Sox are trying to speed that time line up. He is trying to realign expectations a bit, but still send the message that they aren't punting for a half of a decade. At no point does he say they are starting a new rebuild, only continuing what they started a few years back.

Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 8m8 minutes ago Renteria said he needed to step away last year for himself. White Sox called him last year and that dialog led to his hiring this year.

I'll be honest, with the Rick Someone mistake, I couldn't take anything else Levine wrote seriously. https://twitter.com/WriteSox/status/664479541549621248

Paul Sullivan ‏@PWSullivan 1h1 hour ago Sox one of leading candidates for Cuba spring training games if it happens. Hahn said they'd be honored to be chosen.

Evan Drellich @EvanDrellich From a legal perspective Dan Halem says MLB fairly comfortable an international draft is viable. Would have to be bargained with union tho

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 11:41 AM) Dosent that mean their ownership of CSN reverts to Reinsdorf alongside the Blackhawks? Good news for us I believe they have the first option to purchase that right.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 12:25 PM) Why isn't there a Fox Sports Chicago? There was until the main teams broke off and formed their own cable network. Then all of their products were gone and they folded.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 11:00 AM) Buehrle to the Cardinals makes so much more sense With Lynn out for 16, totally.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 11:02 AM) http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/11/11/lev...ebuilding-mode/ Wait, are we in a "rebuild" now? In the uncorrected version of this story, he calls our GM "Rick Someone". Bruce Levine is on his own planet right now.

If Tim Anderson is intentionally our opening day SS, it shows that the rebuild is back on.

Paul Sullivan ‏@PWSullivan 4h4 hours ago Sox should keep Sale, bring back Buehrle for a Konerko-style farewell.http://fw.to/qBibDgU

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 07:31 AM) Speaking of bad weather, there is supposed to be a pretty bad storm rolling through the chicagoland area later today/tonite. South of Chicago they are saying possible straightline winds They are talking about 20 foot waves on the eastern shores of Lake Michigan.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) You're right, I'm afraid. That's the new normal of being a "dynasty" in a Salary Capped league. No team can beat a cap system in the NHL forever, as it is designed to swallow them up back into the middle of the pack. And you nailed it on the head with "other GMs won't help". Spot on. Honesty it is what makes the run the Hawks have had in this decade all of the more incredible. Three titles in 6 years is just amazing in an age meant to destroy the top teams.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 09:32 AM) uh... what ever "No Angels, we can't take Mike Trout in a trade, we have to have a third baseman first."

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 09:24 AM) i really think the first order of business is a 3b man then maybe a outfield in the others needs to address. Of course there is a hierarchy of what we want, but that doesn't mean you don't make other moves that improve the team.

This is why I am more optimistic about 2016 than most. There is a lot of low hanging fruit for the team to make big improvements on. Defense is one spot. We also have multiple spots with really bad offense that could take a quick leap forward depending on what we can bring in.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 03:21 PM) I get that if you lean right and are looking at Sanders. And I get disliking the Clintons generally. But I'm not clear what policies Clinton is pushing - either socially or fiscally - that would make you feel that way. But I'd be interested to be educated otherwise... I can point to the majority of the candidates on the right running primaries that are appealing to their base - socially and fiscally - including fairy tale regressive tax policies that would require trillions in cuts to cover. This is quite literally the worst assortment of primary candidates that I have seen in the entire time I have been voting. I can't point to a single candidate I would be happy to vote for. Everything about a Clinton Presidency I don't want to see again. The lack of a firm conviction on any issue and the lack of trust with the candidate are at the top of the list. I can sit here and pick out individual issues, but as soon as polls shift, so will Clinton. We saw it during his Presidency, her time in the Senate and even as a candidate. The sad thing is that would still almost be better than a Trump or Carson Presidency. Flat out I am just reviled at the candidates this time around, but then again, since we have been reduced to meme's for politics, we get memes for leaders. It is not unexpected at all.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 03:00 PM) Every time I hear Carson (and Trump for that matter), I think, how in the hell is this guy leading the primary. Then again I feel the same way about the Dem primary.
