Oh but some of those Bill Veeck years were exciting and something to remember. Southside Hitmen, Disco Demolition, 1959, exploding scoreboard, and last but not least Dick Allen (who had his faults, but when he walked to the plate that was exciting enough!)

I made my post more in jest than anything else! I don't know how long you have been a Sox fan, but I've been around since the 1959 World Series, so I have been through many ups and downs (more downs than ups). A little over reaction on your side to call people pussies over a site post. I have posted many times that I hope the Sox step up and sign Machado and I'll be the first to congratulate JR, RH and KW if they do. Now they need to get it done for us fans!

Say goodbye to Manny.

Maybe the FO should sign him!

They have to be feeling the pressure to sign Machado.

"Deal could be announced this week or could still fall through". That's going out on a limb!

If so, we need it tonight!

Damn! And someone is signing Avi away from us.

It seems they just don't learn or care.

That would be so White Sox FO

Anyone else think nothing gets done today OR because of all this s__t storm maybe it does? I'm so confused!

I thought it was going to be wrapped up by this past weekend?

I hope the Sox step up. This organization needs to prove itself to the fans.

I agree. There's always another house but not another Manny Machado.

I hope so and I agree with you. Make the offer for $300M and make him a member of the White Sox. Forget leverage and get it done!

A couple of us earlier suggested to offer $300M and we were told not to be so fast, to not give away leverage. Now we're up to $325.

waiting for the formal offer from the Phillies to Harper and what it might look like.

Yea, if Machado thinks he will get 325 from the Sox we may as well go on to Plan B

Kind of how I feel right now.

Thanks, knew you would show up! I would hope that RH would have some spending parameters to deal with and just get something done, before pfffff and he's gone.

I'd prefer they sign the player, before they lose him.

MBS said today was D Day

I also fear that happening, which is why they need to pay up and be damned if it's a few dollars more!

you said "waiting all the way to ST". My heart stopped. One can only imagine what this board would look like if that would happen.
