QUOTE (ron883 @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 01:53 PM) He said he thinks Jose Abreu is overrated. Nothing else of interest Interesting. What was the exact quote?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 12:35 PM) I love it. I hope we win every game here on out because our young kids are kicking butt!!! 50 game win streak. Let's go. QUOTE (steveno89 @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 12:47 PM) I really think the Astros are going to regret not making a big move for pitching and choosing to hold onto prospects. They have a legitimate world series roster this year, but I question whether the pitching staff is deep enough to win in the playoffs. Keuchel is good, but his 3.66 FIP suggests regression is coming from his sub 3.00 ERA. McCullers just cannot stay healthy enough to be trusted in the post season Morton has been solid McHugh has been mediocre, same goes for Fiers. Not making a big move for bullpen and starting rotation help will be what costs them, because the offense is deep and solid, especially once Correa comes back They badly f***ed up there. Badly.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 12:23 PM) Or they can simply just think it's silly and dumb because they think it's silly and dumb. Kind of like the "Turn Ahead the Clock" Jerseys they wore in the early 90's. No harm, but there is a reason they never did it again. Nothing to do with "change". Not going to affect whether or not I watch the game or whatever. It's not that important. But not everyone has to like or agree with everything that happens either. Turn Ahead the Clock was great. And whenever someone starts complaining it's because of money, it's usually due to change. As in "they're only changing this up for money".

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 10:47 AM) Yeah I really don't see why this would bother someone. Because they loathe change. A coworker is a Yankees fan and hates that THIS is how names get put on their jerseys. I can get that.

Beating the Astros because of our youth and their s*** starting pitching is oh so satisfying.

lmao at Stone even getting fake excited for Rocket League

Just please teach the man how to field.

Moncada's walks are so satisfying for a young player.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 9, 2017 -> 09:53 PM) Who Star-Tilson man, you know, legendary outfielder? In other news, Jason is right on about Melky's love of the game.

Nicky and Timmy!

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Aug 9, 2017 -> 01:41 PM) Everything I have seen suggests that Jimenez has the potential to be a 50/55 hit tool combined with 70 game power. I have yet to see a hit tool comp that would be anywhere near Miguel Cabrera's, who is a sure fire 1st ballot hall of famer. Is Jermaine Dye a fair comparison at this point? If I can get JD's 2006 form out of Jimenez, I will be very happy.

Abreu, Holmberg and Jones with the best ones

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 9, 2017 -> 10:58 AM) I said it in the game thread, but his route to the ball was almost as perfect as his technique to get to the ball once he got to the fence. He looked like he was actually fairly shallow and in slightly into left center when that ball was hit. His route to the ball was straight as an arrow to the spot where the ball was hit. I really hope that Engel can hit at all, because he is a near GG level CF. Mike Trout's physical tools baby

Yeah, this is the type of win to enjoy with young guys coming through.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 9, 2017 -> 12:12 AM) Yup, let's negotiate with the madman and assume he'll keep up his end of the bargain! Great idea Balta! Amazing how you can rip our "top men" and yet come up with this gem. Still hard to tell if we're talking Trump or Kim.

Also, what are we trading for him?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 04:23 PM) Wasn't sure if this is about Kim or Trump to be honest Dude, same. You have two thin-skinned, can't stand the heat, cult of personality leaders. Armed with nukes.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 1, 2017 -> 10:18 AM) While hosting the Olympics usually sucks, it makes so much more sense for a city like LA to do it, just because so much of the stuff is already built. The major US metros are really some of the few places that make any sense at all for the Olympics. The infrastructure already exists, so just use it. Building new stuff is idiotic.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 04:03 PM) Not saying I get the love for Tebow, but I'm pretty sure the stadiums he has played in so far have drawn significantly better when the team he is on plays there. Probably worth noting that he's been playing in SEC country.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 03:08 PM) LOL no. None. I think putting in Eddie Gaedel would produce a similar number of ticket sales. Sign Minnie Jr.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 01:56 PM) Can't blame the Sox for being overtly cautious on kid that they just spent $52M on This. The injuries are the minor-est of injuries and he could probably just rest for a couple days. But it's much better to be cautious.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 01:03 PM) Come on now, SSK. You obviously know that the alternative to all the sanctions and whatnot of NK was an invasion - either by bombing campaign or an actual ground force. Who knows how China reacts to that. NK definitely reacts by sending missiles into South Korea. Millions of South Koreans probably die which destabilizes that entire region. I mean, NK's nuclear program is definitely a concern and a major risk to the West, but let's not act like there was a particularly reasonable alternative to sanctions and more sanctions. Even NK isn't crazy enough to actually launch a nuclear warhead at the U.S. They would be wiped off the map within minutes. It's a nuclear deterrent.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 7, 2017 -> 08:34 PM) If your assets cashflow an amount greater than your monthly expenses, you are wealthy. Arguably better than being rich. Kind of like having a great farm system! ? Yeah, but then one small thing can throw it out of wack. I can't exactly work having a seizure into my monthly expenses, but when it happens there's a couple thousand dollars that I suddenly owe a hospital for an ambulance/ER trip I didn't order.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 10:00 AM) 1) Who would you rather see in the 2018 White Sox rotation, Arrieta, Holland, Shields or Pelfrey? 2) Would you rather have our present Dhs in 2018 or J.D. Martinez? 3) I don't think JR is going to spend big money on any free agents but if he does he might as well start doing it this off season. 1) I'd much rather see Pelfrey or Holland than Arrieta. They won't be albatross contracts signed for a dead season. 2) I'd prefer to see Avi, I guess? Hell, even a Melky return would be better.

It's way more exciting now that we have Covfefe in the public lexicon
