Drug Deaths in America Are Rising Faster Than Ever
QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 10:38 PM) Are the millenials messing with drugs? I never could figure out how anybody could willingly put a needle in their body or take a pill that they know will f*** with their mind. Cocaine? Is that still in? Marijuana? I guess that's the only drug I can understand although it will smell up your house, your car, your clothes. Give me 8 beers if I have to get mind altered. Why mess with drugs? People are so stupid. Why mess with alcohol? You can drive drunk and do lots of things impaired. People are so stupid.

Marlins/Pirates may have violated spending rules
QUOTE (WBWSF @ Jan 27, 2018 -> 07:29 AM) Both the Pirates and Marlins are going to have very low payrolls the next few years. Isn't that the same situation the White Sox are going to be in? After this season the White Sox will not have any long term contracts on the books and will probably have a lower payroll than either the Pirates or Marlins. I realize that people don't like to hear this but this White Sox franchise has become a goldmine for JR. Alright, Cozy Bear. Calm down.

Uniforms
QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jan 22, 2018 -> 12:05 AM) Another view of potential future uniforms someone came up with a few years ago. It doesn’t focus on featuring the “white” aspect of things, but rather “punching up” the color on the current uniform scheme while tethering the suggestions to the team’s varied uniform design history. https://clumsytuba.wordpress.com/2013/04/04...e-sox-uniforms/ I like it, but keep the '59 Olde English Sox logo over the 1910s logo.

It's not time to talk about how to prevent tragedies. We have to wait, like, at least a week.

FS Top Prospects, players ranked 16-30
I abstained from voting this year because work kept me from really deep diving, but it's interesting watching how the list compares with what I'd have had. Still excited about what Curbelo can bring if healthy. Vieira could end up a coup. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 23, 2018 -> 12:18 PM) I wouldn't in this case. Burr isn't in our T30. He's an arm worth tracking, don't get me wrong. But the system is deep enough there were a bunch of guys not even on the Just MIssed that could be real prospects. For relievers alone there are Ryan Burr, Brian Clark, Connor Walsh, Matt Foster, Danny Dopico, Kevin Escorcia, Victor Diaz, Will Kincanon, and JB Olson. All of them have MLB potential. But relievers generally have a much harder case to make to be ranked. Damnit, NSS. You should know with SS2k5!

For the love of god. Give me a SF from the draft, Boogie and the rest of the cap to fill out the bench and the Bulls are Top 4 in the East next year.

Brewers nearing trade
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 21, 2018 -> 07:53 PM) The only way I can see Ellsbury being involved if it’s a three way deal with us. This would be a crazy ass trade but makes some sense for all teams. Brewers -Trade: Brinson, Diaz -Receive: Sanchez, Adams Yankees -Trade: Ellsbury, Adams, Andujar -Receive: Low level C prospect White Sox -Trade: Sanchez, low level C prospect -Receive: Ellsbury, Brinson, Andujar, Diaz Take it and run so far the Sox relocate.

Waiting on that memo, Nunes. Or is he literally duplicating McCarthy's "list" of communists in the State Dept.

Uniforms
I'd actually be a fan of rotating Sunday jerseys. Beach blanket, '59, cursive White Sox, etc. Try out new ones.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 17, 2018 -> 08:01 PM) Hypothetical: bulls are picking 6th. Possible Bamba territory or MPJ falling. The sixers call and offer Fultz, who hasnt played all year due to a made up injury. Do you take it? Hard pass.

White Sox acquire Joakim Soria, Luis Avilan and $3 Million
QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 11, 2018 -> 08:05 PM) That's cool the thread is reopened. It proves there can be dissent on soxtalk. Dick Allen and I are not fans of Soria it is apparent. Golly gee Greg, I'd have nevera thunk it.
