White Sox winter meetings thread...
QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 09:23 PM) I was just going to say that. Utley makes the most sense to me by the description given. He's a grinder, and a risk since he hasn't been 100% healthy the last few years. I'd be surprised that the Phillies trade him, but maybe something along the lines of Rios + Beckham for him? I believe the Phillies are still looking for a corner OF. And trading Rios creates the hole that would need to be filled that was also mentioned. Eh... I'm not sure trading Rios and Beckham for Chase Utley makes the White Sox better That move would have to be followed by a Hamilton signing.

How and why did you become a Sox fan?
Everyone in my family was always a Cubs fan. As a kid, we always took field trips to Cubs games. I never ever heard anything about the White Sox... it was like they didn't even exist. When I got older, I wanted to be different, so I started following the Sox. And it really sealed the deal when Kenny Williams took over. I was excited that he was one of the first and only minorities running a major league franchise, and believe it or not, I am almost related to the guy.

2012-2013 Sox off season Catch-All thread
QUOTE (Cali @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 03:19 PM) Keep trying to buy a championship. It won't work in baseball anymore... The Yanks just did it in 2009. It's not guaranteed to work, but it still works sometimes. Teams like Oakland and Tampa Bay are nice stories, but star power and talent are important too.

2012-2013 Sox off season Catch-All thread
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 02:21 PM) I hope they spend lots of money doing it too. QUOTE (whitesox901 @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 02:24 PM) Agreed, if they're willing to lock up $90MM on 5 players, I won't stop them. Who cares if they win for the next few years and block the White Sox from getting back to the World Series?

2012-2013 Sox off season Catch-All thread
Is anyone else worried that the Tigers will go after Josh Hamilton in the offseason? They will already have Victor Martinez back, and from what I hear, Mike Illitch is an old bastard who is also a billionaire and is willing to do ANYTHING to win it all before he dies. You add Martinez and Hamilton to that line up, and they can afford to be atrocious defensively.

Game Thread: Game 162, final game of the season, WHITE SOX finish in C
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 3, 2012 -> 01:55 PM) I didn't even know it was a continuing thing. That's even worse. It's been in most of his posts the last couple days - like he's really trying to push it out there.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Oct 3, 2012 -> 01:53 PM) A few days ago Ron Gardenhire called us the Mighty Whities. I like that nickname. That's all. It sounds like you're trying to start some s***. I'll just ignore you. Carry on.

What is the point of you continuing with the WHITES thing? Is it to get attention?

Worst collapse in franchise history?
QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 3, 2012 -> 10:12 AM) You want collapse? Wait until Texas loses to Oakland today -- losing a 13 game lead over Oakland would be a "collapse." 2-7 down the stretch if they lose today. If they don't win their wild card game, oh lawd That would almost make up for the Sox not making the playoffs. Almost.

Sox vs Indians game 161 thread
QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 2, 2012 -> 03:33 PM) Might as well try for a slightly better draft position. You can bet your ass that they will win the last two in Cleveland. They'll get clutch hits with RISP and the bullpen will be solid. Plus Addison Reed will look dominant with bottom of the 9th, 3 strike out performances. And the Tigers will s*** the bed the next two games in KC, and the Sox will end up finishing 1 game out. Watch.

Game Thread: Game 160 WHITE SOX head to Cleveland
QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 09:00 PM) I would definitely root for Jim Thome to get a ring. The Orioles are due so I wouldn't mind it either - especially since I think it's unfair that they play in a division with two $200 mil + payrolls. Eh, I wouldn't mind seeing Ichiro win a ring either. I don't care, just as long as the Rangers don't win. f*** the Rangers.

Game Thread: Game 160 WHITE SOX head to Cleveland
QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Oct 1, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) Tigers wont do s*** in the playoffs anyway. I don't know who to root for in the playoffs. I am an American League fan, but I hate Texas with a passion, I always thought undue praise was given to Billy Beane while KW was ignored, so I don't really care for the A's, the Yanks are the Yanks and I have a burning seething hatred for the Texas Rangers. I know I probably should root for Detroit, but f*** the Tigers and their 2000lbs middle lineup. Maybe I'll go for the Orioles since they don't have Luke Scott anymore.

Sept 29 Devil Rays @ White Sox: Memorial Day Pt. 2
QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 06:33 PM) Still excited for our team next year I have a bad feeling about next year. It seems like this was the year to make some noise. I mean, can we expect Rios, Dunn, Konerko, AJ and Peavy (if they even come back) to repeat the successes of this year?
