Jerksticks

I'm just thankful that Bryant, Soler, Russel & Castro might all be huge busts.

What about a platoon?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 03:42 PM) 3/45, 3/69, and 4/66 would get laughed out the room. The guy already turned down 5/85 from the Cubs, so you know that anything below that isn't worth offering. If the Sox really plan on that, they should just not make an offer so as not to insult the guy. That's assuming a whole bunch of things though.

Can't we have a AAA pitcher throw him 100 fastballs above the zone so he can just watch them go by. Then have another pitcher do the same thing? Then have some pitchers throw 100s of fastballs outside for him to watch? I just don't think he knows the zone. Big problem.

QUOTE (bear_brian @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/mlb/477...dave-dombrowski Reinsdorf should already be on the phone - this guy is one of the best in baseball, and he was roland Hemond's protege many year ago, before Hawk talked his way into the GM job. Dombrowski's credentials are the best. I dunno man. How good would he be without Daddy Warbux giving him tons of money to spend? Sure you can point to a few trades he won but Kenny/Rick have won their share of trades too.

If we sweep the Rays we probably bury the Rays & leapfrog 3 teams at the same time. Lez do it fellas!!

And part of me also wants Flowers to be our C for the next decade. Who else am I gonna dislike if we get all good players? I'd rather it be Flo

I say sign him. Part of me thinks our depth is about to explode ina year or two and our farm will become the envy of the league. Offseason plans= Shark & Heyward. Close up shop.

Part of me is kind of glad we aren't some perennial powerhouse. Well maybe. Take the BHawks for example: i grew up playing hockey and loving the hawks. It was like 10 bucks to go to a game. 2010 was the coolest thing that ever happened, couldn't miss a game. Then in '13 i watched every game after the all-star break and it was cool. This year I barely watched the playoffs. I almost got numb to them being so good and found myself thinking "This is what being a Patriots fan must be like. I'll pay attention when they're in the conference finals". So now I'm spoiled and hockey, my passion, is kinda ruined for now. It's still cool but it's different. We're almost TOO good. So cheers to our tortured souls watching our imperfect team. It'll be that much sweeter when Tyler Flowers pulls a Jeff Blumm in the World Series.

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 07:48 PM) Growing pains for a 20 year-old kid in AA ball, no need to overreact. Any success at this level at his age should be viewed positively. Totally. I love that he's getting shelled. Now he knows he needs to come back better next year. Count me in as looking forward to seeing what he's made of.

"So here's Tank, he's 0-3 with a couple strikeouts. Hit an absolute missile at Headley over at third who made a nice play. Nobody in my fifty plus years has ever hit a ball that hard."

QUOTE (kwill @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) If anything it shows a different mentality of how the White Sox front office operates. I think a couple of years ago they make a splash. Now they have spent so much time improving their farm system they do not want to risk pieces for a rental. I would love them to go out and get a controlled asset but I am glad they didnt buy a rental. We have plenty of bullets to fire now. I'm excited for this offseason. But first let's win this year!

Last game without Trout! So stoked

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) Pretty good chance if we make the one game wild card that Sale wouldn't be pitching it. Danks Black Out 2

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 11:55 PM) To the bench or traded for a pack of smokes. Man I'd just like to personally thank you for not using "bag of balls". Pack of smokes was refreshing amd way more insulting. Thank you sir!

Do we all really have to strap it on. There must be another way fellas!

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 03:52 PM) Castro leads the majors in calories expended via gum chewing. Can't stand him. Dude yea. I can't stand cocky gum chewing either.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 09:19 PM) His "pride" comment was BS and disappoints me. Dude you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a boat. So, you're sat and you're pride is hurt? Get the f*** over yourself. This isn't little league. It's possible he's referring to his overall poor performance hurting the team.

Haha thank you Dr. Harrelson. "Knocks the bones of the foot down and if they don't pop back up in the same place...you're in trouble." Awesome.

The avi thing works. But maybe we should target a better player. Cargo is good but maybe somebody a little sturdier and fleet of foot. I don't really think either Cargo is the perfect player.

Is Cargo a plus defender? It would be nice to improve the D and the bat at the same time so I think I'm more into what somebody else said: the other Cargo

Haha all because the White Sox are blazing up the standings. Nice work fellas!

This is great news. Apparently they can still get Hamels & Papelbon & Cash for Castro

If we sweep Boston we'll be 50-50. Look where .500 would put us in the WC race. Juicy.
