The 2008 World Series changed things. Their first priority will be to play the game uninterrupted or at least on the same night, but the last resort would be suspending a game in progress and finishing the next night. That would be unfortunate though. If it looks bad at 6-9 pm, and the window is better for tomorrow, they'll play 4 nights in a row (the 4th, if necessary).

QUOTE (balfanman @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 12:00 PM) I was in a hotel room in L.A. and, okay, I'll admit it.........I.............cried. I teared up when they won the pennant. The Sox in the World Series was such a foreign concept in my time as a fan. When they won it all, probably the combination of being up 3-0 in the series, and being so tired from the night before, I was just happy and numb. Hopefully, they make some new memories one day. We're treading on 85 Bears territory.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 11:47 AM) I hope it rains and everything gets pushed back a day. Kluber on full rest for game 4. They'll just not have the off day. Today would be the off day.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 06:31 PM) Why? What is the need to get rid of him? We're done talking.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 06:13 PM) still find it funny the team with 103 wins doesn't get homefield If they kept it alternating, this would be the AL year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 06:04 PM) Dude is going to make like 30 or 40k if he isn't on the 40 man, maybe less. I still don't see what the big deal is. He isn't blocking anyone, and he isn't holding a 40 man roster spot. Um yeah, I get he can stay and toil at AA again. Point is, he's not worthy of adding to the 40-man if it's that time. Release him, expose him to other teams, let him be a free agent, whatever.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 05:45 PM) Why? It isn't like someone is going to take him the Rule 5 or something. There is no onus to release him. Let's put it this way, he's not good enough to add to the 40-man. If he has the option to become a free agent, they should let him.

Courtney Hawkins turns 23 in a few weeks. He's probably a release candidate if he's reached the point of having to be added to the 40-man.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) The city is going to be crazy either way. If you happen to live in Wrigleyville, I wouldn't imagine it being different than this past Saturday if they win on the road. If they're going to be handed the trophy, I'd rather it be in the clubhouse in Cleveland than on their home field. Come to think of it, maybe 6 games is bad...that's the day the Sox home park becomes Guaranteed Rate Field. The jokes write themselves.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 11:14 AM) Whoever is going to win, I just want it to be put away in 4 games or ASAP (hopefully an Indians sweep brings the off-season on Sunday). I'm not losing any sleep over this series, but if the Cubs happen to win, I'd rather they do it in 6--in Cleveland.

Apparently when they started the segment, they mentioned they weren't including the Sox because Cubs fans wouldn't be rooting for them. Whatever.

If it wasn't already pointed out, it doesn't appear KW was out in San Diego last week. It was a false tip given to that guy.

This was inevitable... http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2016/10/24/i-gues...sox-dont-count/

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 09:16 PM) Apparently comedian Kevin Meaney has passed, that's not right. Do you want Jack sauce? -Who makes the Jack sauce? I make the Jack sauce. - I don't want the Jack sauce!

Spotless was added to Netflix. Quality show. Kind of a Dexter/Breaking Bad mix.

Sox sign KC Hobson. The rebuild is on. http://www.baseball-reference.com/register...id=hobson001kri

He put some time in with the Royals. I don't count this as a typical Sox move.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 10:39 AM) Status quo To me, it's another indication they aren't rebuilding. The rotation will be Sale, Quintana, Rodon, Gonzalez, and Shields...and they'll find a way to not make the playoffs again.

So Bobby Thigpen quit? Fired? Different role in the organization?

3-man booths are never good, but Verducci and Reynolds just make this suck.

Rooting for the Indians to win it all. Hopefully the Cubs won't make it, but I definitely don't want the media to make a Jays-Cubs series Canada's Team vs America's Team. You know that would happen.

Answers in parentheses: QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 26, 2016 -> 10:22 AM) Will Robin Ventura be the manager of the White Sox on September 1st? Yes (Yes) How many wins will the Sox have when they return from Detroit on June 5th? 58 games scheduled through that date (33 on the road). 27 (29) More games started- Navarro or Avila? Navarro (Navarro) Carson Fulmer debut date and role? May 20- start (July 17- relief) Tim Anderson debut date? September 1 (June 10) White Sox All-Stars? Abreu, Sale, Frazier (Sale) Mat Latos starts? 7 (11) Number of team home runs (136 last year) 169 (168) Runs Scored/Runs Against (622/701 last year) 668/699 (686/715) Dealers choice--any other random 2016 Sox predictions other than final record More of the same problems-winning on the road/beating teams in the division (um, yeah)

Rays take the lead in the 10th. If they lose, 2nd pick. If they win, 4th pick.

Postseason set- Orioles at Blue Jays, winner plays Rangers Red Sox at Indians Giants at Mets, winner plays Cubs Dodgers at Nationals
