Chicago White Sox

He’s terrified of losing his outlet to b**** relentlessly. It really is sad.

You must have been the kid who wanted presents on their sibling’s birthday too.

You’re not banned if he gets one TD though, so why is it a bad bet? The odds are much greater that he gets zero TDs that multiple TDs. That’s all that’s at stake. It’s almost like you believe in his ability and are just hating to hate.

Yup, plus the game is already 25% over!!

Exactly, which is why the bet is a goose egg or two more TDs for a ban to take place. O/U’s are usually set at the most likely outcome, which is somewhere between zero and one for this one. You are getting the far better end of this bet.

He’s thrown zero TDs all year, the game is already 25% over, and he looks bad so far. What exactly are you afraid of?

Take the bet!

Alright @Moan4Yoan, I was able to get rid of Parkman, what kind of bet will it take to get rid of you? How about O/U on Trubisky TDs tonight at one? If he throws two or more, you’re banned from this thread until the bye week, if he throw zero I’m out until then. One TD and we both survive. Sound good?

I think this offseason will be the real test. If they go and add someone like Mazara then it’s clear they’re the same old White Sox.

I’ve been complaining about this in the gamethreads for about a week now. Honestly, we desperately need to add a couple high OBP guys to the mix this coming offseason. I apologize for repeating it, but my dream would be signing Grandal and then trading for Nimmo. That would allow us to rock something like this by May: Tim Anderson, SS Yoan Moncada, 3B# Eloy Jimenez, LF Yasmani Grandal, C# Jose Abreu, 1B Brandon Nimmo, RF* Luis Robert, CF Zack Collins, DH* Nick Madrigal, 2B That’s a vastly better lineup and one that should score a ton of runs.

Lol...I’m enjoying every second of it. I’m from the North Side and most of my friends are Cubs fans plus my wife is a diehard as well. They have all given up and a few are pushing for a rebuild. The timing couldn’t be better with my oldest kid being five and hopefully just starting to get into sports. Please rebuild away Cubs and let the Sox own Chicago for the next half decade.

Why would Pittsburgh do that though?

If Pittsburgh were to fire Huntington, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the GM come in and blow things up a bit. And honestly, they’d probably give away Polanco for a song. For me, I’d rather roll the dice on him than Mazara.

I don’t mean for Lopez, I mean we need to aim higher for RF. Mazara isn’t good and while there may be some untapped potential there, he isn’t a great fit for what we need.

Another game with a ton of K’s and few BB’s. Sign Grandal and trade for Nimmo and you suddenly have a balanced and extremely versatile lineup next year.

I’d hate that, we need to aim higher than Mazara.

I just don’t think Cooper will be the guy to unlock Lopez’s potential. I think an org the Astros would quickly turn him into a solid #3 type.

Do you mean two starters? They’re obviously going to add at least one guy this offseason. Adding two would be prudent as Lopez should probably move the pen long-term.

These are the moments I’m glad I left Illinois. I’ll always love Chicago and may come back one day, but my god Illinois is a broken mess.

You need to be far more proactive and use a trade value chart in the future at least as a point of reference: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/fantasy-football-week-3-trade-values-chart-rest-of-season-rankings/amp/ That Cook trade was so ridiculously in your favor you should have never given this clown a second to reconsider.

I’d be pretty pissed as Mazara hasn’t been good, only has two years of control left (with Boras as his agent), and doesn’t address our OBP problem.

This team desperately needs to add a couple high OBP guys to the lineup this offseason. Another game with quite a few K’s and no BB’s.

And Moncada sucked vs them last year, but hey winning a meaningless game in September is important than trying to develop our young talent.

That was me, but unfortunately Greg put me on block for calling him a troll too many times so I’ll never actually get a response.
