QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 10:32 PM) Jeremy, we love you. Yea. That's all we're all trying to say. Good job Q with words. We love you Jeremy.

Seriously man - now I'm crying with you. God. I can't imagine. My son is 30 months old right now - we've been through some really rough stuff. My ex wife taking him into a bathroom, locking the door, turning off the lights, and screaming. He saw his mother trying to hit me in the face and take him from me. It was nuts. Now he's coping with a high conflict divorce and likely with a mother who still isn't stable. But what you're facing - really is the worst type of greif I could ever imagine. Hope you all get the help and support you deserve. If you need anything, hit me up. I'll take a phone call from you at 4am if you need someone to talk to. Even though we don't really know each other - you'll be in my heart man. God bless you brother. May you find some strength to be there for those who need you. This is a time where no words are good enough. Love man. Hold onto love. Someway somehow. Help and love. That's my best shot with words. f*** words.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 05:00 PM) We've had tragic news following surgery. Josiah has an incurable issue with his intestines. He will be passing away soon. Thank you all for your support and prayers. Heart breaking. I literally swelled with tears reading this. So saddened by your loss that only a few could even begin to comprehend. Stay close with your family. You will all heal and move on forever changed. Praying it can bond you closer in time. God bless and love your way man. So sad for your loss. Don't give up and cry until you're done crying... Then cry some more.

This really sums up beautifully all I could ever say... https://twitter.com/bleacherreport/status/757275219308400640

This is when my OCD really f***ing pisses me off. My brain will be on trade rumor overdrive - without relenting - 24 hours a day... Until the deadline. f***. After you've peeked into every corner of the Internet trying to find some new update and nothing is to be had -- you just so pointless related s*** until finding another crumb. Then the process repeats itself. Maybe I should find a doctor to prescribe me meds just for like 3 weeks out of the year annually in the beginning of July.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) Too bad we don't have a major league pitcher ready to face the cubs tomorrow. Three would have been nice. I'm very interested to see how he looks after seeing him get lit up by us when he was with Texas earlier this season.

I truly know the reason for his failures and new found form. One meme will never be posted here ever again.

QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) BBTN just had a segment about Sale and what it would take to get him. Boston - Said Bogaerts and Betts are totally off limits and that Moncada, Benentendi, Kopech, and Swihart was too much. Said Moncada, Kopech, Swihart, and Eduardo Rodriguez was a fair return for the White Sox. Rangers - Said Mazara, Gallo, Profar, and Dillon Tate was too much and that Mazara, Profar OR Gallo, Luis Ortiz, and Dillon Tate was a fair return. I don't think I'm good with either of the "fair" packages. Especially with some of the trades that have already happened in the past couple weeks. Three and a half years of a top 5 pitcher in baseball on an extremely team friendly deal is going to have to be an unprecedented package of talent in return and I'm not seeing that in the afore mentioned proposals. I hate this f***ing show but it perfectly sums up what I think of BBTN and their stupidity regarding Sale's value...

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 07:31 PM) I joked about this in the winner thread so here we go: White Sox get: C Lucroy RP Will Smith Brewers get: Fulmer, Adams, 3B Trey M., and Jordan Stephens White Sox get: OF Jay Bruce and eat all of his salary Reds get: Jordan Guerrero, Courtney Hawkins White Sox get: RP Arodys Vizcaino Braves get: Engel, May, Danish JR and KW say f*** it and go for it! LOL had to after this Cubs win. Sox giving it one last run and deplete and already bare farm system just to piss off SoxTalk. Oh... And I'm sure the Reds will get a top prospect.

Sadly - not enough this year even if it went down like that. 2017 would be looking nice thou. Which is scary when considering the prospect of this front office flipping a switch. Sell, sell, sell.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Media is talking about it picking up over the weekend. I'm curious if it'll pickup around Qs next start. Yup. I just hope we start hearing specific and credible WS rumors.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 11:42 AM) Or play a revolting style of baseball. Maybe my memory is off but I thought they had been playing better on the road this year compared to home Edit: incorrect 4 over at home 5 under on the road

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) I would pass on that St.Louis deal in .000001 seconds. Yup

I was born 9 weeks premature and spent the first 9 months of my life in an incubator. My best friends son was born 14 weeks premature while he was driving his wife to the hospital. She delivered in the car. We both are alive and well. Keep the faith and find strength in your heart man. Your beautiful son and your amazing wife need you. We're all here for you brother.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) The whole Robin is the one that has to fight for us in that department...that he (Ventura) was essentially "selling out" by backing ownership/marketing over the concerns of players that were clearly expressed on multiple occasions before that day? Curious the spin is defending Sale more than backing Ventura/Hahn. 1.) I don't see it as "spin" - just an article citing pretty damned objectively what Sale said in his recent interview. 2.) It is a managers job to put his players in the best position to win. I'd say that's a pretty universally accepted objective part of managing a pro sports team as well. 3.) According to Sale - he brought up this uniform issue to the team during offseason fitting - stating then that, "he wouldn't wear them on his day to pitch." He brought it up the day before the game... Then again before the game on the day of. I just see this as new information. 4.) In the end - he still said what he did was wrong... And it was. I'm in no way defending Sale's actions - they were absurd. At this point thou - it's time to just f***ing move on. Hopefully Sale can use this in that way as well. Move on ( like he claims to be seeking to ) and respond more maturely next time. Or, f*** it -- just hire Eclhart Tolle as an "Ego Consultant" for the entire team. There, that's the best solution possible.
