LAROCHE TRADED???!!!!

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 2m2 minutes ago Robin Ventura and Rick Hahn talked and Jeff Samardzija is starting for #WhiteSox tomorrow as far as the manager knows. KW said from the start of this season that he loved this team more than a lot of his previous teams because they were all grinder type players who he knew would push through the long season to its end. He still believes this team is going to make a push for the playoffs and they will likely trade no one. I am convinced.

Who is a good comp to Anderson?

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 12:58 AM) Yeah, I get it. About as funny as blackface. Good stuff. So are you claiming Rodon is a racist?

Happy Birthday ptatc!

I just have an extremely hard time backing the trading of Chris Sale no matter what the return. I dont care if we got 4 of the top prospects. I would still be hard pressed to be happy about the trade. It may be beneficial to this team but Sale is just a great representative for my favorite team in a whole lot of ways.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 05:08 PM) Every thread is basically about Samardjiza/Q/Sale but I can never tell who we are talking about. Yep. There is the soxnet threads, crazy predictions threads, samardzija threads all about those three. LOL its all Jason's fault!

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 05:04 PM) What? For who, Samardjiza? This year trade winds have been confusing hasnt it?

I am sorry but I know that the thought process has changed in past few years (especially publicly or fans perspective) but there is still a TON of value in adding arms like Samardzija or some of the others being dangled. He really can be a major piece to a contending team to ultimately win a WS. You really cant assume that "oh he is just a two month rental you shouldnt have to give up much for that" type of thinking. If we trade him to a contender and he winds up being that piece that puts them over the top in the playoffs and we just got 3 meddling prospects for him?! No, f*** that...give me some talent in return.

This is messed up. You are out with your so called buddy and other friends and you leave to go rob his house because you know where he is???....Dirty.... Bernard choose your friends a little bit better man. http://abc7chicago.com/news/ex-bear-bernar...ng-home/877893/

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 12:26 PM) Can I trade Shipps to the Angels for cash? My wife may take whatever they are offering.

Ah yes, the lovely cash consideration that gives means nothing to me.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 12:21 PM) They wait too long. The "sellers" market became "not that much of a sellers market" pretty quickly. We will late until last day and get some reliever in AA and be like "well you don't know what the market was like!" It never seems to work out in our favor does it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 09:52 AM) That thread is now almost 11 years old. That is just amazing. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...&hl=decline That is wonderful.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 10:20 AM) I would like to see a LaRoche for Wong trade. When Matt Adams is back next year they could just slide LaRoche over to 2B. LOL you are joking right.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 09:49 PM) Houston and Allen can't be worse. Young will be as good. McPhee will be good for 7-8 sacks. Fuller should be better. Rolle is definitely an upgrade over Conte. They should be .500, but if they're going to be .500, I hope they're 2-14. 8-8 doesn't get you in and I'd much rather have a shot at Cook or Hackenberg or Jones. I dont know. Houston and Allen actually could be worse. They are moving to a defense that Allen has never played in nor wanted to play in. Houston is a douchebag it appears and may not be a fit anywhere. Young is coming off a bad injury and wont be ready until mid-season at best. This is McPhee's first year playing full time and we really dont know if he can have his part time production to translate once he is the primary focus of the other teams blocking schemes.

Levine really seems to think that Samardzija is going to be moved really soon. I am not so sure though, seeing that we may not be able to get anything better than the value of the compensatory pick if we kept him and let him leave in the off season.

I knew this thread would make me laugh.

Oh and I realize the posters without kids will definitely not give a crap about our kids stories.

My two year old daughter pretty much tells me NO! No matter what I say to her or ask her. Not sure if she is just trying to be mean to me or if she says no because she doesn't know what the hell I am talking about? For instance I will ask her if she wants to go home while we are riding in the car coming home after work and she says NO! and will then go onto add that I WANNA GO HOME DADDY! Then I think to myself...what the hell did I just ask? Anyways I know you guys have funny stories of your kids.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 03:23 PM) Last 30 games: Bryant: .191/.302/.400, 38 Ks Soler: .241/.290/.371, 38 Ks Russell: .196/.295/.250, 30 Ks Russell is hitting worse than Sanchez over the last 30 games. Heck, even Rizzo has a .216/.373/.275 line over his past 15 games, and his OPS has fallen below last season's mark. Schwarber had another 2 hits in the first game today though. With the rest of their lineup catching White Sox-like symptoms, there's no way they send him back down after Montero comes back, right? Growing pains all over that lineup. Next year is going to be a real show me year for those guys.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 04:49 PM) Just got an email that the Bears season tickets are in the mail! Unfortunately, I think their winning percentage will be worse than the Sox. However, the expectations are lower as well. I expected the Sox to be over .500 not so much for the Bears. That's whats nice. They can win 6-8 games this year and I would be fine with that as long as I get to see the team going in the right direction and have a lot of the young guys show development.

1 week away from Training Camp boys. I am anxious to hear how all these new Bears are looking. Not that I think they will be very good record wise but its going to be really interesting to see how they are used and who Fox and Fangio wind up liking .
