Sox and Dodgers play two 2-game series in 2017.

Micah Johnson back or no deal.

I always feel like when it's talked about, it rarely ends up happening. Maybe this is the Sox sending messages to other teams to get serious with offers. It doesn't guarantee future success, but a tear down would be pretty bold and something to talk about.

That Source stuff is laughable. A non tender wouldn't be official until 12-2. I don't doubt he's gone, but there are people on twitter that know stuff, and some that just want attention.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 08:02 PM) Someone on twitter speculated that maybe the Sox just told Lawrie that he won't be returning to the team because they are going to non-tender him IF they can't find a trading spot for him. So could be that he's not returning, but via what transaction we may not know until the 2nd. Exactly what I'm thinking too.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 06:07 PM) Hopefully there's a possibility of a trade so we can at least get something for him. That would be nice, otherwise it may take a few weeks before they announce it.

He changed his avatar and it no longer says White Sox 2b on his Twitter.

Can you bump something else so we can see something other than Congrats Cubs?

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 08:34 AM) Does Free Agency start today? Yes, players are allowed to sign with new teams now.

I was wrong about Britton. Porcello, Kluber, and Verlander are the top 3 in some order. Announced 11-16.

Albers bought out. Yes, we know this is no surprise. https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo/status/794230912330452992

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 10:24 AM) Man, some of you guys get way too concerned about tweets. Like I said when people were b****ing about the Cubs twitter account, it's f***in twitter, it doesn't have to be 100 percent serious all of the time. No, it doesn't have to be serious all the time. In fact, some of the tweets last week about not remembering 2005 were funny. In this case, when the Sox are congratulating the Cubs, they should have left it as a simple congratulations.

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 10:18 AM) Its just a twitter account though. Its not like its the FO official public statement about the Cubs winning it. It's the Sox official Twitter account. That's the organization...period.

Shuck off the 40-man. Outrighted to Charlotte. http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/roster/transactions

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 10:04 AM) More of a shot at the media that forgot about 2005 It was, but if they're really going to congratulate the Cubs, then congratulate the Cubs and end it. To include all of the other stuff that tweaks the media is just petty bulls*** from an organization that sucks right now.

Not sure if this has been talked about, but this is pretty passive aggressive stuff. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/794038366400413697

This is awesome

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) In MLB it's been a long time for any team to win back to back WS. Weren't the Marlins last to do that? Yankees 98-00

Hopefully there won't be idiots fighting leaving the park tonight.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 06:20 PM) Thank god I don't live in the city. I'm turning my phone off at the end of the game if the Cubs win. I still haven't seen the final outs of the NLCS. Tonight would be no different.

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 04:01 PM) Is the world going to be different if the Cubs win? It seems like it would somehow have a snowball effect in other aspects of my life. Like, I will no longer be able to order my coffee served hot or we will have to drive on the left side of the road or something. These arent possibilities are they? It's not too much different than the White Sox or Red Sox. 88 years... 86 years... 108 years. A long time is a long time, especially when every living fan is seeing it for the first time. But the media has their narratives, and that's all that matters to them.

Jim Thome throwing out the first pitch. He really can't lose tonight.

One of two things is going to happen: 1) The Cubs lose, and we'll be happy to see their stupid fans be disappointed once again. or 2) The Cubs win, and their bar is set for the next five years while part of their identity dies. I'll take #1, but some positive will also happen if they win.
