QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 01:10 PM) Not sure how much of it is the current political climate...the Cubs' ascent...or the general malaise and lack of civility in internet message board discourse, but this seems like it's going to be more and more common going forward. You're right, exotic parrots are deplorable... I recant and apologize profusely.

QUOTE (Two-Gun Pete @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 06:16 AM) While I agree that it would be moronic to trust the mouthbreathers in the Front office to strike a decent deal for any of the team's assets, the problems go deeper than "just" in scouting and devlopment. Remember, these are the imbeciles that thought that hiring RV was a good idea. And to KEEP RV, even after he had clearly failed as manager. These are the morons who orignally wanted Pauly as player manager. These are the cretins that hired Renteria, without having a COMPETITIVE process. These are the idiots who hired an untested newbie in Getz as a departmental director. In sum, the Front office has proven their stupidity over and over again. We could keep going all morning with chapter and verse of examples of moronic stupidity by this front office, in areas OTHER than scouting & development. And for this reason, it would be catastrophic to trust these mopes to trade Q, Sale, or ANY asset, IMO. I want to ride my bicycle... I want to ride my bike. Do you have any exoctic parrots for sale, by chance?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 08:50 AM) It's time for the Cubs to prepare for Death by 1000 Curveballs Hah - well said

Should be a tie game. Why Hernandez didn't take second or third with a lead like that is beyond me. You've gotta be aggressive and follow through if you wanna win.

Please go away Kenny. Please!

QUOTE (Carpe Diem @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 01:57 PM) Quintana reminds me of Jon Lester...no reason to think he won't age well. Even after his contract expires he can pitch another 5-6 high quality years. Welcome, he whom speaks to himself.

QUOTE (Carpe Diem @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 01:53 PM) COMMON SENSE DOES! We have TRIED this for long enough. CHRIS SALE CANNOT BEAT THE AL CENTRAL. For 2+ years he has gotten hit pretty hard by EVERY team ESPECIALLY the friggin' Twins. He can net us 3-5 high ceiling prospects WITHOUT QUESTION. Despite the biased/Cubs fanboy media says, the White Sox have a very solid foundation BEFORE you factor in what Sale/Jones/Abreu/Frazier/Melky could bring in. Quintana Rodon Eaton Anderson Collins Fulmer Burdi Hansen + other prospects with real potential such as Adams, Danish, Engel, ext The White Sox could clear payroll WHILE getting a SURPLUS of elite young talent. It is a no brainer. Welcome, solid voice of reason.

Please, December... come soon. 6 plus weeks of super fun speculation ?

Poop?

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 07:57 PM) Well the curse is broken now so...a lineup full of hall of famers couldn't win a World Series in the 90s but a team that everyone counted dead before the playoffs even started has a great opportunity to do it. That's baseball Yea man - I didn't give them a chance against Boston or Toronto but did call for them to win the AL Central this past offseason. If the Dodgers are in the World Series I'll be rooting for them - otherwise, I'll become a huge Cleveland fan for a week or two. ?

Chris Sale for a top 5 teams entire farm system. Get it done.

If the Dodgers win game 3, I wouldn't be shocked to see Kershaw go for game 4.

Chris f***ing Getz?

QUOTE (Donaldo @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 05:16 PM) If that Crain for Arrietta trade would've gone through, I wonder if Cooper would've done as well with Jake A. as Bosio has? Nobody will ever know for sure. Just one of those random thoughts that tend to cross my mind when I can't sleep. Oh man - please don't remind me ?

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) Just curious, does anyone else besides me feel like the Sox could compete next season just by unloading Quintana and Robertson for some young major league talent? Let's say...Quintana to Red Sox for Benintendi, Shaw, Groome, Kopech. And also....Roberston to Giants for Joe Panik Sox go out and sign Rich Hill and Lucroy Rotation is.... Sale Hill Rodon Gonzalez Shields/Fulmer Lineup is.... SS Anderson RF Eaton DH Abreu C Lucroy 3B Frazier LF Melky CF Benintendi 1B Shaw 2B Panik Saladino and Lawrie are your backup IF. Or maybe you even give the Giants one of those two along with Robertson until Christian Arroyo is ready to come up for them. Narvaez is your backup catcher. Nate Jones becomes your closer, and you obviously sign a couple MR in there to replace deadweights like Albers. I think that team is certainly better in 2017, even though you lost Quintana and Robertson. 1.) How would we sign Lucroy when he isn't a FA until 2018? 2.) You really think Boston would include Groome and Kopech? 3.) You really think SF would trade Panik for Robertson?

I'm crushed.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 10:12 PM) I initially bet 2k on the giants, then live bet another 2K, when they were down 3-0. Good call ?

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) I'm not convinced the Cubs are winning this tonight. Good call.

Cubs / Blue Jays World Series

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Oct 9, 2016 -> 09:20 PM) I expect Frazier to be in a different uniform on Opening Day 2017. If so then you should also expect to see Sale, Q, Abreu, and Eaton in a different uniform as well. No reason to sell off a low salary high power infielder unless you're going full rebuild. I'd find it more likely that Frazier gets extended than sold in the offseason.

What a strange f***ing game

Wonder what kinda injury Hendricks has... this could change the dynamic of the entire playoffs.

Funny Samajideziasjjjjjjjyyyyaaaaaa lasted just two innings. Bum. Come on Giants!

Giants are toast. Edit: Hendricks with a bases loaded single for 2 RBIs

QUOTE (oldsox @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 12:02 PM) What happens in December? Will Southsider then be able to accept being corrected without accusing others of having "an attitude"? Winter meetings, yo.
