QUOTE (shoeless_joe21 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 09:44 PM) I joined almost a decade ago, but left to go on a ten year bender after they won it all in '05. Now I'm a born-again Soxtalk poster. Welcome back Prodical Son. We are glad to have our very own Hunter S. Thompson back in the fold! Thanks, hi8is.

Just wanted to say that Soxtalk is a grand place. Go White Sox, 2015. That is all. Thanks, hi8is.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jan 4, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Absolutely. If not rainbows, it's at least "new car" farting. Thanks, Burner. Thanks, Burner. Thanks, hi8is.

I really like Zorb and I'm sure Rick is making calls. Surprise me again please. Thanks, hi8is

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 08:00 AM) lol I'm glad you are enjoying laughter. It is a wonderful thing, laughter. I am laughing now too. Thanks, hi8is.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 09:39 PM) Greg, i never have had a problem with you but think about this and >>>> then by that way of thinking, every member of the team should be retired. for pete sake, they were on the team that won the world series. wait, the grounds keeper, they should have a statue, for pete sake they were the grounds keeper of the team that won a WS. about the vendors, the parking agents. etc..... see, where does this stop. Dude, horible logic. That's like saying there's no difference between a Kentucky Durby Winner and the gatesmen... Or no difference between the porn star and a condom, for lack of a better analogy.

QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 02:32 PM) I'd take Ozzie back in a heartbeat instead of the corpse we currently have. thanks, douglas Thanks, Douglas! Thanks, hi8is.

QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Dec 28, 2014 -> 02:30 AM) My introduction to this fine forum was not very pleasant . But now that we know each other, I'm looking forward to a very good 2015 season. With the additions made so far, I hope we're not done, there's no reason the Sox can't manage the front page all year. thanks, douglas It's just because people like me use this place partly as an escape of "real life." There's no wife, no kids, no clients, no employees, no bills, etc here... And it tends to lead to sarcasm. Seriously thou, I do wish it was 1992 again. Then I'd be able to create Google and would own the White Sox in present day. Damned it.

QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 12:08 PM) MM and RM both had crew cuts, smoked cigs, didn't have tattoos and they both hit a lot of home runs. You don't have to look like a freak or a clown to perform and respect the game. Yeah, gimme the 50s back anytime. Today's managers are puppets, there's a few with a backbone. thanks, douglas Actually, all hell started breaking loose in 1913. Everything since has been complete brainwashed zombie garbage. So if we're gonna be cranking up the time machine in the name of "better times" -- lets at least get it right.

QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 02:54 AM) you guys prolly don't spank your kids either. Most of these modern players are big spoiled crybabies and so rich they could care less. If I was manager, no facial hair, no jewelry, butch crew hair cut and if they don't like it they don't play. thanks, douglas Did you have a bowel movement today? Just wanna make sure everything's smooth down there, Doug.

Give me Zobrist or give me death!

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Dec 23, 2014 -> 04:24 PM) Nice. Who do you want them to be? Dick and Jane.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 20, 2014 -> 10:14 AM) Wow 4 teams I predicted to possibly win. I think either us or Oakland could be one of the teams since he can get at bats at second and third. Well, we're certainly in the running then.

Every time Jeff Samarjdza, David Robertson, Adam LaRoche, and the rest of our new acquisitions come up on my screen - I can't seem to reflect back ten years. I've said it before and I'll say it again now... this off season feels like 2004. Let's take a deeper look and see what the landscape looked like. 2004 Offseason: December 9, 2004: Jermaine Dye was signed as a free agent December 9, 2004: Dustin Hermanson was signed as a free agent December 13, 2004: Carlos Lee was traded by the White Sox to the Milwaukee Brewers for Scott Podsednik and Luis Vizcaíno. December 17, 2004: Bobby Jenks was claimed off waivers January 3, 2005: Orlando Hernández was signed as a free agent January 6, 2005: A. J. Pierzynski was signed as a free agent January 27, 2005: Tadahito Iguchi was signed as a free agent That's 8 new players moving from 04 => 05. 2014 Offseason: November 18, 2014: Zach Duke was signed as a free agent November 20, 2014: Onelki Garcia was claimed off waivers November 25, 2014: Adam LaRoche was signed as a free agent November 28, 2014: Tony Campana was signed as a free agent December 8, 2014: Rob Brantly was claimed off waivers December 9, 2014: Jeff Samardzija and Michael Ynoa were traded to the White Sox by the Oakland Athletics for infielder Marcus Semien, righty Chris Bassitt, Josh Phegley and Rangel Ravelo December 10, 2014: David Robertson was signed as a free agent December 11, 2014: Dan Jennings was traded to the White Sox by the Miami Marlins for Andre Rienzo. December 14, 2014: Melky Cabrera was signed as a free agent December 16, 2014: Brad Penny was signed as a free agent That's 11 new players moving from 14 => 15 I think it's likely that 7 or 8 of those players stick. About to land on an airplane - so you guys can beat this topic up... and I'll circle back another time when I've got nothing to do again.

Pretty amazing news to see walking down an airport terminal in flordia. I was like... "Um... So I gurss I could go to Cuba now."

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 11:22 PM) Excellent question 127 1+2+7 = 10 1+0 = 1 I have no clue what you're all taking about. He is the one.
