  1. Lol no. I "dated" that girl for a month and that was a few years ago. I dated a few different girls since that one.
  2. In the same neighborhood as the house we just got, we got screwed over by the seller lying to us and telling us there were no showings, and we would be the first people to see the place the following day, only to find out they DID have showings the night before, and even accepted an offer from those showings before we even had a chance to see the place. So my girlfriend is still salty about it and keeps trying to compare our place to that other house, even though we never even saw it, it was "perfect" in her mind based off the pictures.
  3. As others have said, I don't expect him or Madrigal to be there very long. I would imagine they are both in AA by May. Maybe get rewarded with a cup of coffee in Charlotte at the end of the year if they both stay healthy.
  4. He went 1/5, 2B, RBI, 2 K. Adley went 2/4, 2 RBI
  5. Just signed an offer for a house with my girlfriend....so....you could say things are getting pretty serious. ? EDIT: Offer accepted.
  6. Happ strikes out more than Yoan Moncada. Only Chris Davis had a higher K% in 450+ PA. I can't imagine Sox fans NOT hating him.
  7. Adley hasn't done anything in this series either. Both guys are walking, but neither are hitting. Adley - 1/6, RBI, 3 BB, 2 K Vaughn - 0/4, 4 BB, 2 K
  8. I'm hoping all this internal smoke around Jimmy Lambert plays out and he can sort of fill in for the "Solid but not TOR" Dane Dunning role. In the 1 time I saw Lambert pitch, and it was this ST, he reminded of Jon Garland. Hopefully he can play that type of role.
  9. I'm not happy, but I'm not upset that it fell through. We heard rumors about Laz Rivera being included we heard another rumor about Rutherford being included. This team isn't going anywhere in 2019, and Joc Pederson won't put us over the top for 2020 either. No big deal after you lose out on Machado/Harper and then Dunning gets TJS. The timeline is going the wrong direction.
  10. Any idea when the minor league teams set their rotation order? In order for me to see Cease pitch when I am down in Indy in April, I need him to be their #3 or #4 starter. I'm hoping they let Adams and Stephens take those top 2 spots? I don't know how much minor league teams "reward" their returning starters over the pitchers who are newly added to their roster.
  11. Wow, this Cal Bears closer, Sabouri, he is nasty. He made Adley look AWFUL in the 9th inning with his nasty sliders. Threw a slider that dove down at his feet and made Adley flail at it. Then struck out the last batter with another slider in the dirt to secure the save and the upset victory.
  12. 14 HR in 21 games. He might just challenge Kris Bryant's record of 31 HR.
  13. Yup. I'm crushed. I hate the Red Sox, and seeing him go in to the Hall of Fame with the Red Sox and have his White Sox years completely forgotten make me sick. At least if he went to another team and didn't win another WS, he would have still likely gone in to the HoF as a White Sox player. I'm so disappointed.
  14. God damnit, such a golden chance to gain some ground. Ugh.
  15. A guy I work with told me that his grandpa just recently did one and found out that he had a long lost brother. His grandpa never knew that his dad had a family prior to meeting his mom. So recently everyone still living all met up together at a local pizza joint owned by his long lost brother. He said it was pretty wild to see his dad meet all these new aunts and uncles and cousins who have all lived in the same area, but never knew that they had a link.
  16. Proximity to majors typically means a less risk of a bust. The more raw, the more risk.
  17. Here are pictures of Jake Burger in college. And here are some of his accolades... - MVC Defensive Player of the Year (2016) - ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove Award (2016) - MVC All-Defensive Team (2016) "Baseball America and the NCBWA ... Also voted as the top defensive third baseman in all of Division I baseball with his selection to the ABCA's Rawlings Gold Glove Team ... Tabbed a first-team All-MVC pick and the league's defensive player of the year" And then here's a blurb written last year about Burger before he tore his Achilles....for the 1st time. "He has a strong arm, good hands, and any talks of him moving from third base are ludicrous. I watched Jake Burger for his entire career at Missouri State — having season tickets on the third base side, with media access as well. His fielding is superb, with that rocket of an arm to go with it." If Jake Burger can't play defense at 3B anymore, it's because he tore his Achilles twice, not because he's an odd sized 3B.
  18. Oh god, please get rid of Bernstein. Can't stand his pompous and elitist ass.
  19. In fact, I'll go so far as to say Alex Call will likely never play a single game in a White Sox uniform. Doubt he even ever suits up for Birmingham or Charlotte.
  20. Ooof, Vaughn got a cookie 3-1 fastball and he jammed himself a bit. Managed only to fist it to LF for a flyball out. He immediately screamed FUCK and then slapped himself in the shin when he bent over at 1B to take off his shin guard. He knew he could have MURDERED that ball. He is so balanced at the plate and such a strong swing, it reminds me on Josh Donaldson at the plate. Not sure if he's gotten those comps yet, but that's just what came to my mind when I see him batting.
  21. Vaughn due up 3rd this inning. I just hope 1B isn't open when he comes up. EDIT: 1B was open, but the pitcher decided to peg him in the arm instead. To be fair, Vaughn does lean out pretty far and didn't even think about moving his shoulder out of the way. 2 for 2, 1B, HR, 3 RBI, 2 BB
  22. He's NOT a good looking guy. Good thing we got Kopech. ?
  23. Pardon my own tweet, but here is video of the filthy moonshot that Vaughn just unleashed. In his previous AB, the pitcher would not even get CLOSE to throwing him a strike. Kept flipping him loopy curveballs out of the zone. In his next AB, he had 2 guys on base and 1B was not open....and this is what happens...
  24. 2nd RD pick potential Drey Jameson on Friday..... 6 1/3 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 4 BB, 11 K. Now has 50 K to 10 BB in 29 2/3 IP.
