Rumor has it when they both defected that the brothers wanted to both sign on the same team. My money is on the Astros.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 09:39 AM) Will he opt out of that crazy deal though? Dude is gonna make almost 30M dollars for the next two years He's gonna make 24 per if he doesn't opt out. He'll get a higher AAV if he opts out.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 08:48 PM) raBBit: I will have more soon but for those of you who expect the same old same old #WhiteSox this deadline...prepare to be surprised. Weak boner.

f*** it...

QUOTE (daggins @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 01:20 PM) We'll figure that out as we go along = He is a reliever but we aren't ready to admit that to the public yet. Naw. No way they don't give him a shot before making that confession.

Hahn on Fulmer's long term path as a starter or reliver.... http://mlb.com/r/article?ymd=20160807&...ws&c_id=cws I'm afraid they're f***ing this kid up.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 06:04 PM) Why would they decide to spend big now? Maybe JR sees that he should have gone the extra mile and is fed up with losing...

Obviously this was an idiotic pie in the sky fantasy orgasm post just meant to spur conversation. That said, I do believe it illustrates on fundamental truth for next year: No in between bulls***. Either rip the f***er apart or pony up and do this s*** right. No f***ing holes - no f***ing expenses spared. Go for it or sell it all off.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 05:17 PM) Rodon has been hitting 95+ tonight. Haven't seen him throw that hard in a while. Poops and giggles.

Hell hath frozen over

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 04:43 PM) 5 K's from Rodon. He has looked good throwing at least 4 or 5 changeups that were swung at and missed. He also hit 99 mph on one of his fastballs. Where has this Rodon been!! One even hit 100. I sure hope that Cooper just plain took the reigns off him and said, go out there and just do your thing. They've been holding him back in my nieave opinion

Thanks for the update. I missed everything after the Cabera at bat... Had to take a long poop.

It's just me, you, and 16 ghosts.

Uh. Is Rodon "The Bulldog" back???

Say they don't rebuild and move on being sellers. Say they decide to "Go For It." ( vomit into a bag and then consider for s***s and giggles. ) The White Sox 2017 payroll commitments are currently: 74m This year their at 115m. If they just matched that number, you're looking at roughly 40m in salary you can take on for 2017. Whoopie. The starting rotation would be set already: Sale Q Shields Rodon Gonzo The bullpen is lacking a few spots Robertson Jones Putnam Petricka Jennings The following spots are secured on the field 1B - Abreu 2B - Lawrie SS - Anderson 3B - Fraizer RF - Eaton LF - Melky That leaves us with a DH, CF, and C to find. You're also going to need at least two more bullpen peices - likely a long man and a lefty specialist. You've also gotta piece together your bench. Here goes nothing... Sign Encarnacion for DH. If you can't get him settle for Alverz or Morneau. Sign Cespedes for CF. If you can't get him settle for Trumbo in Right moving Eaton back to CF. Sign Ramos, Wieters, or Castro for C. Bottom line just to this point... You're going to need to increase payroll. For the bullpen, bring back Daniel Hudson in LR and slot Burdi in as well. Use Jones as your lefty specialist but just leave the f***er in for a couple more hitters since he can attack anyone. Give setup to Burdi unless Robertson sucks it up... Then flip em if appropriate. Bench Utl - Saladino C - Anyone OF - Jon Jay OF / IF / PR - L. Garcia Rotation: Sale, Quintana, Shields, Rodon, Gonzo Bullpen: Robertson, Burdi, Jones, Jennings, Putnam, Petrika, Hudson Lineup: 1.) Eaton - RF / CF 2.) Lawrie - 2B 3.) Cespedes / Trumbo - CF / RF 4.) Abreu - 1B 5.) Encarnacion / Alverz / Morneau- DH 6.) Melky - LF 7.) Fraizer - 3B 8.) Ramos / Weiters / Castro - C 9.) Anderson - SS Bench: Anyone ( C ), Saladno, Jay, L. Garcia Payroll would need to be around 140 to 150 IMO Anything short of this and they should sell. It's either raise payroll and fill ALL THE HOLES with big time above average upgrades... Or pack it in. If you wanna compete JR - then grab your f***ing balls and do whatever it f***ing takes. /hi8is drops mic

This has to be the worst white sox season in memory. Worse than 2012, 2014, and 2015. It's just gonna keep declining as well. All the injuries really are the nail in the coffin. Yuck.

It'd be great to see dave Martinez - Cubs vs White Sox would be even more fun

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 11:45 AM) Dying during it would be the way to go. 100% agreed. That should be the new Kavorkian plan for all states in the world. Just allow you to fornicate with a perfect clone of your dream woman as your vitals are flatlining. Ok. This has gone too far.

QUOTE (captain54 @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) having sex with Scarlett Johannsen Please, please, please.... If that ever happened for me... I would die in peace.

Navarro just caught a strike and moved it out of the zone. Haha. Oh boy.

Navarro walking back to the dugout, talking about his base running.... "That's bad. That's bad. That's bad."

Bwagahahahahahahahah

Well lookie there Carlos

I love the patented Carlos Sanchez triple slash line .109 / .140 / .145

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 5, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) He's getting there certainly. It's a shame because I like the guy. I've agreed with most of his moves they just haven't worked. It's getting to the point where I'm hoping they stood pat with the exception of the Duke trade because there's going to be sweeping changes. Wishful thinking but I'm hoping. Though it seems like wishful thinking - a little birdie told me that it could actually happen.
