Quin

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 04:11 PM) 1/8 of the way through the season and the Sox are on pace for 88 wins, cool. Like I told my dad, sell regardless of record.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 01:37 AM) I still don't understand how people are blindly in love with Seth Beer. Tank for Beer is amusing and Cheer for Beer is catchy

QUOTE (turnin' two @ Apr 19, 2017 -> 05:17 PM) I get it, you like him. If Wright is still around it will be because of his high ERA, WHIP and diminished K rate. Guys that fall, fall for a reason. It would be hard to argue with any number of guys that are available at 11. Whether it is someone like Kendall, Adell or Wright falling or someone like Haseley or Smith rising up. Would definitely fit the trend of Rodon and Hansen falling to them

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Apr 25, 2017 -> 02:20 PM) Soxtalk's ideal rebuilding scenario: Trade Quintana at the deadline for a Sale/Eaton esque haul of prospects Trade Robertson and/or Jones for a nice package Trade veterans for a decent package (Melky/Holland/Gonzalez/Frazier/Jennings/etc.) Sign Luis Robert at nearly any cost, blow past pool Scout and draft well at #11, #49 and #87 overall picks. Draft quality depth afterwards and upside If they meet everything else, I'd actually be content with retaining Q, since it seems uncertain if a team will offer a Sale package.

I want the Bears to draft Joshua Dobbs, pretty much solely because he's my best friend's cousin and a genuinely nice guy

If people can't stand corny, I have no clue how they love Hawk.

I'm thinking Q just did a Space Jam style ability transfer to Holland, Gonzalez and Shields. He takes his powers back after the trade deadline.

Supposedly Mizzou's coaching staff has been informed that Knox will go to Duke, which would likely lead to Jontay Porter reclassifying.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 24, 2017 -> 09:22 AM) Rock, I know this is a generalization, but I swear it seems like every damn kid I see today under 24 claims to suffer from anxiety, have panic attacks or are otherwise mental midgets. They can't handle sales jobs. They would have to talk to people, be nice, etc. After spending most of the teen years with online relationships, how do they handle real life interactions? They don't, hence panic attacks and anxiety. I see it with most of my younger son's friends (18) and even with some of the older son's friends (23). I was tempted to write up a rebuttal, but I know it will fall on deaf ears.

Eaton deal will likely be a win-win If the prospects flounder, Nats win. If Giolito, Lopez and Dunning all hit their ceilings, Sox win.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 08:32 PM) Check out how awful this draft was http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/team/draft...s&year=2012 Best player from that draft is Storm Throne, solely because of his name. QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 08:48 PM) Cooper finishes at 5.2 IP, 5H, 2R, 0BB, 8K. Co-signing the "Keep Cooper as a Starter" Initiative

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 21, 2017 -> 11:12 AM) That's justification for busting somebody in the head with a U-lock? He's being facetious

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 08:26 PM) Clearly Thames is doing Pilates +1

Well, it's a fact that fewer players went this year than last time.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 10:57 AM) Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal now Source: MLB has cleared free-agent Cuban outfielder Luis Robert to sign with a club. Well, ride or die

To be fair to Greg, Rex Hudler is legitimately awful in every way as an announcer

Collins gunning runners down and struggling a bit at the plate is not something I expected.

Bill O'Reilly out

Chaffetz won't run again. Hallelujah

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 01:39 PM) On a side not the R thread just passed the D thread for post count. Not sure that has ever happened. I appreciated the break in the general discourse.

Ugh, why does he have to clear early?

QUOTE (Special K @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 02:00 PM) Meadows is probably off the table in a Q trade. Starling Marte hit up w/ an 80 game suspension. Q + MVP Garcia. Boom.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 09:15 PM) Solid outing for Hansen. Stay tall.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 02:16 PM) I enjoyed the first game, I really did, but it is so hard for me to genuinely like this team when I know I have hated them the entire season. I have hated the coaching, their attitude, the FO, ownership, the trades made, the trades they didnt make, the inconsistency, the effort, the style of play, the media relations, and everything in between. My fan sensibility is telling me to buy in like I always do and be behind them all out but I feel like I need to draw the line this time. I will give credit where it's due - once Fred started defying Gar, he has looked like a much better coach.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 11:49 AM) I would still bet on neither player being on the next good Sox team. I'd agree with that, but it'd be a nice surprise.
