QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 05:59 PM) I like a good deep dish on a rare occasion but as a ex-new yorker the pizza there is unreal. Literally not a bad slice in the city. One of things I miss the most out here in Seattle is good pizza. Anything that has a crispy crust, is awful. I want a pizza, not a damned piece of burnt toast.

Maybe more like Yoda.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 03:03 PM) Two things: - Giants players were willing to endorse the idea of Sabean going after Melky this offseason, which shows you he's not a bad teammate - I hate Notre Dame and the Cubs the most....but you better believe I'll cheer for Samardzija Add the Valpo Vikings to that list for me.

That would be like not posting on Soxtalk because a few people start terrible threads.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 02:46 PM) MAX, did you stop rooting for the Sox when they signed Will Cordero? If a guy cheating makes you sick to your stomach, I don't want to know what watching a wife beater would do to you. I hated Will Cordero. One of the few players on the Sox I booed.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 12:44 PM) Yeah, but then the "WTF was his 2013 season" worry hits, where he put up a .682 OPS right after the suspension and didn't last a full season. With how his career has gone, I could easily convince myself that was the year he was clean & that last year he went back on something to try to get another contract. But anyway, still a move they had to make. Clearly explained injury.

Aw, Rick Hahn already got me I wanted.

Kill it Hahn, kill it.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 08:02 AM) Someone on Twitter (Maybe Merkin?) suggested the Sox should trade Viciedo for a comp draft pick, I would take that in a deal. THat would be ideal. It would more than replace the second round pick we lost, though I bet the team doesn't make that move so it can save the money from the 2nd and 3rd round picks to use on the major league team.

The crazy thing is, Jose Abreu could drive in 150 this year assuming relative health for Eaton, Cabrera, and Abreu.

No big surprise there.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:36 AM) The Cubs have had a very good offseason too, I'm sure they couldn't care less what the Sox are doing. Who?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:43 AM) Are there any baseball teams you like? Quite literally, none.

QUOTE (thigpen89 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 07:24 AM) Hey everyone, I'm new here (my first post) but I've been reading the forum for a few weeks now since I made the jump from the White Sox official message board. I just moved to Houston so I'll be catching all three games at the end of May. I can't wait to take my new son to his first Sox games! Love a lot of the moves we made! Welcome to Soxtalk!

The White Sox are very probably going to go underslot with their first pick as they are missing a second and third round pick.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:08 AM) Has to be Danks, right? No other roster move frees up as much as Melky will be getting. Also wondering if there is another SP target out there if Danks is being moved. A Danks trade isn't going to free up that much money. We are either taking on salary to make a deal work, or paying a chunk of his salary to make him go.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 01:44 AM) Going to 15 games at least, as usual. What's your excuse, soxtalk? There's a million of them.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 13, 2014 -> 06:30 PM) I didn't realize that Bryce Harper filed a grievance with the union in order to void terms the final year of his contract, the 2015 season. (Typical Boras douche move) I would be all about bringing him to the Sox for this season if things have gotten past the point of repair with Rizzo. f*** it, go for it The price starts with a guy like Quintana. The Nats won't be looking for prospects.

With the Expressway running underneath, it is hard to envision a baseball stadium being built on top.

I honestly didn't think it was possible to have a winter like this. It is almost incredible how many things came together in a month and a half.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 08:17 AM) Surkamp should hold out for a car to give up #53. Why? There is a pretty good chance he isn't on the roster anyway

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 13, 2014 -> 11:37 PM) KW has a soft spot for Levine. Don't ask me why. He protects him as a source. Remember, Levine sat on the KW/ TOR CEO story, even when he had Kenny in studio interviewing him.

This probably goes here as well as anywhere else, but the crazy thing is that this is an old radio partner of mine in college, and someone who stood up in my wedding... a very good friend of mine. http://wgntv.com/2014/12/13/vegan-teacher-...-facebook-post/

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 13, 2014 -> 03:12 AM) He didn't say "had better seasons", he said IS BETTER. That's a big difference, and the reason that comment is asinine. Not to mention WAR is a counting stat and Sale missed a month.
