Is there a baseball game on?

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) Hang around,get a f***** bat and go for it.no more half measures Sweep Boston and then I'll consider getting on this train again. That includes Shields throwing a good game. Anything else and I'm firmly fixed in the "sell everyone" crowd looking to blow it up and build for 2018/2019.

What are these "winner" threads?

QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) Honestly Q is super valuable but to land Moncada++ its going to take something like Sale + Jones. That should get you the majority of their upper level prospects and a "throw in" or two. I could see a package like this Trade Chris Sale & Jones to the Red Sox for C Blake Swihart, 2B Yoan Moncada, OF Andrew Benintendi, RHP Anderson Espinoza, LHP Kyle Martin & 3B Pablo Sandoval with Boston picking up 48.5 of his remaining 57 mil including his buy out. If the sox are going to have a fire sale there going to need someone to play 1B and maybe they can get Sandoval to re-establish some of his value, they'd be responsible for 8.5 over 2 years, with the option to exercise the club 17m option if he turns it around. He needs to roughly be worth 1WAR over the course of 2 seasons. If Sales being traded I want Giolito and Turner from Washington as a starting point. If we're talking Boston, I want their top three in Moncada, Devers, and Benintendi -- plus two more lower level SP prospects. Sales trade value and his contract should bring an unprecedented return.

Yup. Now we know.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 03:24 PM) Trading Sale would be a franchise changing move. The Dodgers and Red Sox have stacked systems and could use the pitching. And Nationals.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 19, 2016 -> 04:50 AM) You.re dreaming, man. Sound asleep. Ok, Q for one of those two and supplement either of the omitted for a 1B or CF in the draft or in FA. You've also got other trade chips on Jones and Robertson who could help bring in a good fit for one of those two spots.

Here's me being stoopid Chris Sale to Washington for Gialato, Turner, and Wilmer Difo Quintana to Boston for Moncada and Beniniti Abreu to Texas for Dillion Tate Melky Cabrea to Seattle for Edwin Diaz Todd Fraizer to the Mets for Dominic Smith and Marcos Molina 2016 and 2017 we tank which results in some more high draft pick years to further ad to the farm. 2019 looks like this: 1SP - Jose Fernandez ( FA ) / Rodon 2SP - Gialato / Rodon 3SP - Tate 4SP - Fulmer 5SP - Adams, Diaz, Burdi, or Molina ( some in pen ) SS - Anderson CF - Beniniti 1B - Moncada RF - Adam Jones ( FA ) DH - Collins 3B - Turner LF - Eaton C - Wilson Ramos ( FA ) 2B - Difo Bullpen: Put one together, f***ers.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 10:33 PM) You're so f***ing right man. This s*** is so f***ing embarrassing to watch. I'm f***ing ashamed to wear my f***ing Sox hat in public now because I know f***tard Cubs fans will f***ing f*** with me about it. I don't get what's so f***ing hard about building a f***ing team the right f***ing way. I hate the f***ing Cubs, but they did that s*** the right f***ing way. The Sox need to f***ing get their f***ing s*** together and blow this s*** apart. They have so many f***ing assets that the f***ing rebuild wouldn't even take that f***ing long. But no, f***ing Jerry is too damn f***ing loyal to fire that f***tard Robin and his s***ty ass mother f***ing coaching staff. I'm so f***ing tired of rooting for f***ing mediocre teams. The f***ing casual fans have already jumped over the f***ing ship, and even the f***ing diehards are f***ing tired of this garbage. I want to give you an award.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 10:07 PM) Trade the best players with them most favorable contracts? Uh, no. Uh, yes... If you're rebuilding and wanting top prospects that can influx a roster in 2 to 3 years, you HAVE to trade your most valuable players. If we traded Sale we could get a teams top 3 prospects and a curent major league young controllable player. If we traded Q we could get a teams two prospects and at least another lower minors 5 - 10 ranked guy. If we traded Abreu, there's another top prospect and two lower level 5 - 10 guy. Just those three would bring back at least 5 or 6 roster spots for 2018 or 2019. You then supplement that with FA spending. If you're going to sell - then f***ing sell. We've been through this debate since 2007 and what you're suggesting hasn't worked for 9 years. When is enough enough?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 09:55 PM) Because we suck I suspected that but wondered if it was tied to any one specific example of suckitude or not.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 09:09 PM) http://www.southsidesox.com/2016/6/18/1197...spirals-further Worth it for the hilarious Lawrie GIF. That one and the Quintana HOF plaque are the only thing helping me to maintain my sanity. Going to have to try to track down the Navarro error, supposedly that one is priceless as well. Why was Lawrie so pissed?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 08:46 PM) We're the patsies of the Central. Sox are officially a clown team. They've been the worst team in baseball for over a month now. They're not going anywhere. Time to start a huge rebuild/reload. No need to fire Robin now but work on a manager for next season while trading off everybody except Sale and Quintana and Abreu, same scenario as after last season. Trade everybody you can besides those 3. If you're going to rebuild, you trade Sale, Quintana, and Abreu.

I believe when I said "if I can hit Shield, stay away"... That was a true statement.

I wonder what our "should have won" win / loss record is... Like if you actually accounted for botched plays, bad management calls, etc. Probably like 15 over .500

Kinsler should have been tossed for being an ass.

Yea. Good stuff. Hope they're both gone soon.

How in gods name does the white sox line have no errors? I only watched about fifteen minutes and saw Melky commit two.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 06:57 PM) If he can be, I'm sure he will be. But for what purpose, I have no idea. Don't really know why Hahn rushed Rodon last year. Is this a hikou or something?
