QUOTE (greg775 @ May 6, 2016 -> 12:03 PM) Soxtalk is a very liberal forum. There are a lot of people who probably agree with me, that the sight of a guy in drag as you say wouldn't be somewhat concerting/alarming/distasteful. A lot of guys aren't into that. http://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/11...target-bathroom I can't believe in the 2016, in the age of protective parents, agreeing to let guys with male body parts in the same restroom with females. But I'm bad for saying that. Being able to order a sandwich next to someone that looks different than you doesn't make someone liberal. It makes them a decent f***ing human. Good lord. Also, I must have missed where a bathroom and locker room is the same thing. Two very different places.

This thread is fantastic.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 6, 2016 -> 10:45 AM) I don't think they would ever do it but the Angels really should consider trading Trout. No they shouldn't. They have a bunch of money coming off the books. They'll sign some free agents next year and try to patch it together. You can't waste the prime but you also can't trade the best player in baseball for fifty cents on the dollar.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 6, 2016 -> 01:30 AM) I expected it, makes for something to look forward to next episode and bring back an audience. I heard that Sarah put out a podcast a couple weeks ago really bashing Bananas (after the season had be filmed). But I don't get how Bananas can be so pissed off about a game move, it is a damn game. Sometimes I think he is just playing this s*** up for the camera. For sure. They should be the best team though. Wes and Nany is a great team too.

QUOTE (AJUribe @ May 5, 2016 -> 10:55 PM) Gave Jason a chance, l'm sorry but he sucks. I turn on music now when he announces. Total nerd, makes lame jokes, only positive is stone gives more insight. Well you should have 162 games each over the next 20 or so years to catch up on your music.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ May 6, 2016 -> 09:42 AM) Baseball America gave us Corey Ray in their most recent mock. I would be shocked if he's still on the board at 10. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/mock-...XQu1HDq1pcl3.97 They gave the Sox Corey Ray at #10 and LHP Erik Lauer from Kent State at #26. 1. Phillies-AJ Puk LHP 2. Reds-Kyle Lewis OF Mercer 3. Braves- Riley Pint RHP 4. Rockies- Mickey Moniak OF 5. Brewers- Jason Groome LHP 6. Athletics-Nick Senzel 3B Tennessee 7. Marlins- Delvin Perez SS Puerto Rico 8. Padres- Joey Wentz LHP 9. Tigers-Dakota Hudson RHP Miss State 10. White Sox- Corey Ray OF Louisville

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 5, 2016 -> 10:57 PM) And the answer is Trayce Thompson, Avisail Garcia, Marcus Semien. What is name 3 players out-hitting the "elite" Todd Frazier, Alex. But please trade 4 more young players for another proven veteran, Kenny Hahn. Even though it is a proven counterproductive strategy, it gives fans temporary succor and allows them to "dream again" Frazier has played great defense at 3B and is on pace for another 30 homer season though. To this point: Frazier (1.0 bWAR), Garcia (0.4 bWAR), Trayce (-0.0 bWAR), and Semien (0.5 bWAR).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 5, 2016 -> 12:44 PM) He talks a big PC game, but every once in a while he let's his inner-sexist slip out. It has happened more than once, but... Dan Bernstein ‎@dan_bernstein @MattSpiegel670 I have no rooting interest in her work, but enjoy her giant boobs. 9:41 PM - 25 Mar 2015 I said something similar to one of my buddies about that CSN reporter a few days prior to this happening. I'd definitely never tweet it though and I'm not semi-famous. CSN has done a decent job lately though. Siera Santos has a pretty nice rack too.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2016 -> 02:16 PM) Can't link it but Keith Law in his chat today said he thinks Sox might be on Collins Thanks man. I'll check that out. I think you can though now, no? Aren't his chats on the meadow party.com now instead of the website?

http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2016?list=int It's kind of frustrating to see the Braves, Nationals, and Padres linked to all these prospects in a year when most of the big dogs have to sit out.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 5, 2016 -> 08:38 AM) Was Sarah Spain a reporter before her Craigslist date stunt or was that the way she got her foot in the door of reporting? There are 2 giant reasons why she got into the business.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 5, 2016 -> 10:31 AM) IMO, everyone's excuse is just as legit as anyone else's. I just don't think anyone should call out the team for not spending like the Cubs, and acting sort of small market. Teams don't spend $200 million on payroll in a hope to draw fans. They spend it when they have those fans locked up. I always find it curious many of the people calling the attendance lame weren't at the game. And it was so cold last night. I took my dog out for a walk after the game and couldn't believe it was May. Although the coldest I ever was at a game was a Cubs/Sox game at Wrigley in late May around 2006 or so. The wind was blowing straight in off the lake. It felt like it was about 15 degrees, and it was a week before June. I was calling people out and I wasn't there last night. I go frequently though.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ May 5, 2016 -> 10:05 AM) This attendance thread is like watching CNN election coverage. It's the same thing repeated over and over, yet I find myself coming back. Listen, go back to 2005. Attendance wasn't exactly great throughout the year. People are slow to come out. If anything, next year is the year you would see the biggest bump on if they make the playoffs. Case and point, 2005 and 2006. Like I've said in the past, we're going to get 15,000-20,000 for weekday games regardless if it's Boston. This will be true for the HOU and CLE series in May as well. The Twins series and KC series this month will have 25,000 on Friday and 30,000+ on Sat/Sun. Once School is out, it is consistently warm, THEN you will see the bump. But for now, no. 20,000 is fine. 12,000 is a joke though.

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 5, 2016 -> 08:50 AM) ERIK! You're gonna give the ball to Erik? He is a bad, bad man! Ahh Billy Madison. Classic.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 5, 2016 -> 08:25 AM) Is it wrong to want Nelson Cruz as our DH? No. It's not wrong at all. I'd rather have a lefty but it'd be a big improvement. Mark Shapiro and the Blue Jays could load up as well if they decided to sell off parts.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2016 -> 07:38 AM) In all honesty, they don't have much to trade for a bat either...unless they're willing to trade one of the top 3. It means we're going to be more in 2012 mode of finding the right veteran where we're assuming financial obligations without parting with so much talent. There's just no way we could afford to wipe out our entire farm system for Gray. Luckily, there's still a lot more potentially available bats on the market...with supply exceeding current demand, that should work in Hahn's favor if he makes a move in June or early July instead of waiting. Of course, that also means paying out more money by a factor of 1/5th or 1/6th contractually. Sox could definitely acquire a hitter like Beltran, Bruce, or Reddick at the deadline. A pitcher is possible too. They don't need an ace that would cost a haul. I'd look for a back end innings eater if Turner/Johnson can't do the job. I'd also be in the market for a power reliever from the LH side. Duke has been fine but if they had a LH setup man that throws hard to go with Robertson and Jones, they'd be in business.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2016 -> 05:23 PM) Basically the White Sox have some disadvantages, but now I think it all boils down to winning. Not many people are going to drive to 35th and Shields, not exactly a tourist destination or a fun destination, to pay 20-30 bucks to park and watch a baseball game. However, if you win win win, they will come. I've changed my mind on that cause of the Royals. They had 35,000 for a Wednesday day game today after 32000 last night. Five or six years ago they would have had 8,000 to 15,000 last night and today. I never thought I'd see it, but right now, KC basically sells out every game cause of last season and the season before. If you win, people will pay anything, do anything, go anywhere. Whether that means the fans will catch the winning fever in June and start packing the Cell or wait til next year after the WS victory remains to be seen. And virtually every fan who goes to Royals games has some sort of Royals attire. Hat, jacket if it's cold, T shirt, jersey. 35th and Shileds is fine. Parking is $20. I'm going Saturday Night for Sale bobble heads and Sale pitching. I'm paying for good seats but I can sit in the UD for $12. That's a steal. It has nothing to do with winning. They are the best team in the AL but its cold, there's nothing to do, it's expensive, they're not for real, it's in a bad neighborhood, blah, blah, blah. The majority of this fan base was pissed that they didn't sign Cespedes but then only put 12,000 in the park for a 1st place team in May. It's a joke.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 5, 2016 -> 07:20 AM) I'd really like to see the Sox add another arm. Do you think Anderson + more could get Sonny Gray? No. Sox would get outid for Sonny Gray. Cubs or Dodgers could land him. The Sox don't need an ace though. Just a solid #4 starter.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2016 -> 01:41 PM) Pirates are looking to be a fairly average team this year. They're really missing power in the middle of their order. The Pirates are 2nd in the NL in offense behind the Cubs and came in as the #1 offense in the NL. They just ran into a great Cubs team.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 4, 2016 -> 01:20 PM) Its not smart. Nobody in Cincinnati or Milwaukee wants to watch that crap, young people aren't tuning it to watch teams go through a "process" for 4 years. These franchises are killing themselves and people are lauding them for it. IT doesn't matter though. Those fans will come back when the Reds and Brewers draft cornerstone players that will be part of their next winning team. Patching holes to go 81-81 in a great division is bad business. You disagree with "tanking". I don't. I think it's their only choice.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 4, 2016 -> 01:05 PM) If you consume much NL baseball this is pretty much what it looks like. It's an embarrassment, the NBA stepped in and put an end to Hinkie's "process" but the NL is allowed to turn into a AAA league and nobody bats an eye. Absolutely ridiculous what the senior circuit has become, and its not good for the game. The teams that are doing it are smart though. Need to get really bad to get really good. Especially if your team resides in Milwaukee or Cincinnati.

I am on my plan period at work and I usually have 670 on the radio. There is a Cubs game on today so I flipped over to Kaplan's show. Their topic today is : If you are a Cubs fan and were promised to go to the World Series but you'd lose to the White Sox, would you take that deal? Is this show always s*** like this? It's just dopes calling in saying they'd rather not go to the world series then. Everyone keeps referencing how the teams are rivals. Yikes.

I think Latos will be their 5th starter and they'll acquire another RH starter to slot in at 3/4.

I personally think Cruz should have been forced to carry his campaign the full term.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 4, 2016 -> 08:58 AM) Has raBBit mentioning anything about potential trade targets? It's too soon.
