Hawk Harrelson in the cowboy hat with the banner, The Hawk Wants You or Every logo they have ever had. They have great one's.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 10:48 AM) Are you talking about Julio Franco? Because I'm pretty sure you're talking about Julio Franco. If Tim Anderson hits like Julio Franco, then Tim Anderson can walk however much he damn well pleases. White Sox hire a Hit Man! Damn 1994 strike.

If this is the real Giolito, that trumps any tanking we could do.....same with Fulmer.

QUOTE (cjgalloway @ Sep 26, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) We will draft Beer and sign him underslot at pick 4 or 5. Then pick the biggest faller out of HS with our second pick and sign them overslot to get them. That would make some sense.. That is what I see happening as well.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 22, 2017 -> 10:58 PM) Boy do we stink, Harry. Lost to Providence tonight on a long pass with about 2 minutes left. TD came after Rice's junior QB got picked off on a horrible read. That Rice transfer at running back does not hit the hole hard. He is so tentative. Our QB is mediocre at best and we have no talent at receiver. I give all high school kids credit for trying but it looks like Rice has hit a talent drought after years of college type talent. Did we stop searching for area talent and try to get them to go to Rice? Don't get me wrong. High school kids deserve credit for trying and I will never blast them, but after years of excellence since 2014 we really stink this year. What's your take on future of Rice football? U think coach Badke will move on or is he a legend in the making? They did no favors with their schedule with both the quality of teams and then playign them all on the road. They will end up 3-6 or 2-7 with every opponent they play making the state playoffs (not sure of St Joe) and most (if not all) of them going very deep. They are not as good as previous years but they are not that bad. Lost in the last minute of the game the last two weeks.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 22, 2017 -> 01:17 PM) $20 million renovation last offseason. The H out there was kinda neat. It still has the vertical wall where a ball on the left side is a double and a ball on the right side is a HR - that cost us a HR in the 05 world series game 3, but at least now there's replay. Imagine my surprise though when I thought it had no chance and low and behold it did.

I did not know the hill and flag pole were removed. I guess I need to watch more Astros baseball.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 11:55 PM) N. Korea may test nukes over the pacific ocean now. Kim's statements are inflammatory. This should all prove interesting. Why wont China criticize Kim and tell him to grow up? China would be beloved if they took control here. I believe China wants NK to keep SK in check, for lack of a better term. Kind of like Germany after WWII. A united Korea is a threat to China. While China taking control would be ideal, if you ever watched MASH you would realize that is not ideal for China and communism in that region.

My only issue with him is the OBP

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 09:50 AM) Considering they did what pretty much every single other in professional sports has done, I am not sure you could call that a blemish, unless you are holding all other professional team owners to decades long grudges over their new stadiums. Weren't they one of the first? The Bears are the bigger crooks.

I wish I knew Hawk was with Wimpy. May DVR tonight.

The White Sox will take the college pitcher over a high school pitcher. Brady Singer and Alec Hansen will look nice in the pipeline.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 04:13 PM) I would hate Red Sox/Yankees and Cubs/Dodgers...barf Wouldn't cubs Dodgers be the division series?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 18, 2017 -> 12:01 PM) On season 1 of Narcos, but man, what a fascinating show. Season 2 was pretty good as well. Haven't gotten into season 3 yet.

What a s*** at-bat by Davidson. I really want him to play well.

I'm old so I don't watch ESPN or MTV. I watch AMC, History and Discovery. I am not quite old enough to watch Fox News or CNN unless there is a breaking something. Maybe my head is a little in the sand but I like it there and have enough to worry about getting through the day and trying to find Charlie Tilson.

So if Shields mentoring gets Giolito into the HOF and Tatis gets into the Hall of Fame it's a wash in my book...now...where the hell is Charlie Tilson.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 02:12 PM) I thought Adam would struggle making team next year with more guys getting close for time, but I realized he really only has Leury and May competing for CF, so he probably has our 4th outfield locked down. While Tilson may no longer exist in the realm of the White Sox he may still be in the team photo.

Does he go through the posting process? If so, Don't teams have to bid on him and the $300K/$10M is not the issue but who gives the most money to this controlling team to win the bid similar to Tanaka. Can it have been written in a contract somewhere that he splits that fee 50/50? Can this fee be $100M?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 11:37 AM) Is that also covering his 2 remaining arb years? Yes

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 11:09 AM) I could see Abreu taking a modest 3/4 year deal to stay. Maybe a 3/45 works? 5 years $75M is what I think he asks for paid as follows $20M $20M $15M $10M $10M

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 10:34 AM) 20 in a row for the Indians. Amazing. Yet, all I care about is their inability to win 1 in a row last fall. If they were healthy that series would have been over in five games instead of Theo being the best baseball mind since Abner Doubleday.

I use google maps especially for rush hour traffic as it is pretty precise on ETA. The side street directions make it interesting at times. Choosing local or express lanes on the Ryan is awesome. Waze is better for the police notifications and things like that. Both are incredible apps.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 03:35 PM) That's pretty much what happened to East when North closed, right? Yes

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 02:11 PM) I think Lincoln Way East is the best team in the South Suburbs. They are the best team in the state. When LWW closes in the next couple of years LWC will be just as good.
