QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 04:13 PM) Um, move? I live in Texas now!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 04:10 PM) There were a lot of version of "Best case/worst case" for each team where they said "This team is young and if a lot of things break right they could push .500" as the best case. I think the baseball world knows how much talent there is here, but they also know it needs time. This, but yea I was mostly tuned into local coverage.

I would be mad because we all saw this coming but I can't take the offseason fluff by all the media for months!

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 03:43 PM) What is his ETA? I had pretty much written him off until mid season, but hopefully we don't have to endure that much of Shields. Hahn said today that as early as late May is possible.

QUOTE (daggins @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 03:37 PM) Shields is absolutely going to get released by like, June. When Rodon comes back.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 28, 2018 -> 03:38 PM) I am pretty excited to have a mobile supported platform. Will be quite nice. I will say though, the new forum software is so weird and talkbears isn't even a good example (yet) cause it is still one full cycle behind the state of the art platform. By EOD tomorrow, talkbears.com will be there and than I have to asses the path to getting Soxtalk fully there (mainly in terms of when to plan outages, etc). I can take a similar approach to talkbears where I will try to do work late at night in between the upgrades to minimize downtime ("if all goes well") and I'll ensure ample back-ups, but Soxtalk's database is so large that some of the queries I'll have to run will likely take significant time. Before anything happens, I'll make sure to have posts up and can ensure people (outside of the server blowing up, which I DO NOT EXPECT related to this work) that even if the main forum is down, there will be a redirect link taking them to a temporary forum. Will try to target the upgrades during off-days. Gage, When do you anticipate the upgrade to take place? Is talkbears alrso run by you?

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 28, 2018 -> 03:18 PM) I'm super pumped about Giolito, after a year of being optimistic but frankly hesitant and nervous. Stay health and take off. I can't wait until he's in the world series and we have to hear the story about how his uncle was in seinfeld for the 1000th time. Also, if my math is right, he's on pace to pitch in the White Sox Home Opener, can't wait.

Just in time! Looking forward to the forums upgrade.

Seems not that many seats available.

Terrible.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 04:02 PM) He didn't put any weight on it as he was helped to the cart, hopping the whole time. Looks like his right leg. I think it's his left.

Voted Moncada because of all around skill and higher floor.

Speaking of, Tilson getting a lot of playing time early. Audition.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 19, 2018 -> 05:29 PM) Supposedly 5 $110 MIL over 5 years.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 1, 2018 -> 01:19 PM) I think the Bulls will also get another stiff or two to make some room to sign Monroe. Tony Allen is the expiring contract Bulls are taking on and planning to waive.

Who did the Sox give up?!

This is nuts!

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 04:29 PM) Teams move top 100 prospects for 2 month rentals. I'm sure any deal for Machado will also include at least one top 100. It's crazy to say he's not worth that when top 100 guys literally get traded for 2 months of a guy. Now is that worth it to us? Probably not but that's because of where we currently are. Maybe when the move puts you over the edge to win the WS. See: Cubs/Chapman.
