QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 14, 2017 -> 05:47 PM) Given the fact he started a "Why can't we compete next year" thread, we're going to be lucky to win a game next season. Ron is a reverse savant.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 07:40 PM) Imagine if a television personality called the President a racist. There literally is one of these for every situation. LOL There was one for Justin Verlander.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 07:04 PM) Only the left has the right. And only the right has the left to go down the middle and up the sides! Please read in Bilbo Baggins' voice

I like Bill Simmons lottery tournament idea

Fantastic Seasons and Where to Find Them

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 11:52 PM) I'd argue that the return for Sale would've been much higher It's kind of hard to top the #1 hitting and #1 pitching prospect. Unless you're saying the Basabe / Diaz components would be better

QUOTE (Tony @ Sep 10, 2017 -> 10:40 AM) I'll actually be a little disappointed if Abreu is traded in the offseason. I still don't think he brings back an impressive package, and has more value to the White Sox than any other team. I wanna see him retire with the team. As a DH

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 10, 2017 -> 01:38 AM) People are so jaded with advanced stats they can't even congratulate Jose for excellence in one of the most pathetic seasons imaginable. I applaud him unconditionally. Greg, I love Jose. He's my favorite Sox player (tied with Q) since Konerko/Buerhle. He's just not a STAR that he was his rookie year. Part of that is the team he's on, part of it is his defense. He's also just an incredibly polite and soft spoken man. Jose is a great player, just not the MVP bat we had hoped. And that's ok, because he could still have a (shorter) Paulie-esque career and I'll take that.

The Reverse Curse of Ron

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 9, 2017 -> 11:31 AM) Devers has been horrible lately Edit- .197/.258 with a .487 OPS in his last 16 games. Regression to the mean. Yeah but we didn't get him so he's better

Engel failing to catch the ball is still amazing.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 6, 2017 -> 05:06 PM) LINK Global warming isn't real at all, totally fake.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Sep 5, 2017 -> 04:35 PM) Yea I was talking about the wall/securing the border, not DACA. Reading comprehension, everyone! He might "write code" but I'm not sure he "speaks English". Really couldn't help yourself, could you? That joke gets a 0/10

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 4, 2017 -> 12:47 PM) Haven't kept up with this at all, can you source these? I am trying to understand how it costs the economy hundred of billions. Here's Fortune on the lost revenue $460B lost http://fortune.com/2017/08/31/daca-dreamer...s-donald-trump/ It would also cost $8.5B to deport the dreamers https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politic...ional-spending/

Tank Commander Shields

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 4, 2017 -> 12:50 AM) Are you saying I don't know who he is? I was probably the biggest vocal opponent to that trade although I certainly wasn't the only one. Weird how threads disappear on this site so you can't see anyone's track record of being right or wrong. Was right about Devers being the top guy to get from Boston, Delmonico being biggest sleeper before the season, Eaton trade being amazing, etc I await your hypothetical GM decisions with bated breath.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 11:10 PM) DACA is garbage. Glad to see it go. The solution to the illegal immigration problem is a path to citizenship, not renewable two-year visas and constant deferrals. Make them citizens now. All 800,000 of them. The Democrats had 8 years to figure out how to fix this and they never did, just more crap policies like DACA that ensured the illegal immigration problem would remain unsolved. Now that there's a 6 month clock ticking its time for the sensible solution that has been readily apparent to everyone paying attention the last couple decades to finally be implemented: Everyone currently here gets to stay here, but after that is done there's no more illegal crossings. No more sanctuary cities or any of this other trash legislation that is specifically designed to keep these people in legal limbo. Sigh

So, Trump is going to end DACA. Which will end up costing the country nearly 800,000 people, who have only known this as their home their entire lives, their jobs and the economy hundreds of billions. Cause screw Obama and Mexico.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 03:48 PM) If you treat a Sox game like watching a sitcom where witty banter is the norm then Sox games can be entertaining. If you like actual baseball talk then perhaps your viewing experience is not as enjoyable. Things like Sox math , and Sticks and Stone and now the Kamka thing is a lot of silly filler but ,hey, that's entertainment !?! Well, I'm enjoying it more than listening to stories about Yaz and Catfish Hunter for the billionth time.

Gonna need a weak bullpen showing at this rate.

JOSE!

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 02:49 PM) Thing is, his curve has room to get so much better. Which do you take if it reaches its max potential Rodon's slider Kopech's fastball Giolito's curve

Rodon-Kopech-Hansen forming a starting trio is an enticing thought.

I still hate trading Bell for cash.

Thank goodness MiGo is gone.
