QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 09:07 PM) Rodon to the DL for 6 weeks and the Sox poor handling of this entire situation. We are off to a fantastic start to the 2017 season guys! It's all uphill from here!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 08:11 PM) Might be the longest game thread of the year ...without a game. Isn't it ironic, don't ya think ? IT'S LIKE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN, ON OPENING DAY

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 12:00 PM) Are we talking about the only way the Sox have a chance at a playoff game? Yup. QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 12:31 PM) Hah. I liked Melky's 53. Same

I think the peak Sox uniforms were the '05 era. - White, Gray, Black and Vests - Sock logo on the sleeve, not the main Sox logo Bring back the sock logo, make an updated '59 the Sunday jersey. Use '76 (Sale is gone), '83, and '88 as the occasional throwback.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 11:16 AM) Shhhhhhh...keep that down, you are going to insight rage around here with this kind of talk. That would be a dreadful season to most of the board. Q - Cy Young Abreu - MVP Moncada-Giolito-Lopez go 1-2-3 in ROY voting.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 06:38 PM) Lots of teams that look like they could use a David Robertson Rick Hahn is checking his phone somewhere.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 01:48 PM) Definitely time to stop with that. I liked the spring training unis a lot. They should use that as the alternate. I miss the vests. Or an updated '59. But these helmets are ?

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 1, 2017 -> 10:05 PM) Exactly. We had a 63 win season in there! 63 wins. And for what? Well, to be fair, Rodon.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 1, 2017 -> 07:47 PM) David Ross is at 14 minutes and 59 seconds of fame, That s*** needs to end. If AJ didn't get a retirement tour where he punches everyone, Ross should get nothing.

NEON DION

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 04:06 PM) FWIW the final vote tally was even closer, 63,173,815 to 61,776,554. The actual result is a 241-194 split, but if we had a proportional system, it'd be 220-215. For the House, Senate and Presidency, rural voters get favorable treatment. Cities don't deserve to be equal cause they all live together.

Wait I think when we signed Adolfo that I said he'd be 2017 ROY, sorry Yoan.

The Feathered Serpent shall rise again.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 01:33 PM) Avi would be dead before he got back to the bench. To his credit, with his work ethic he'd be back by 2018.

Q wins Cy Young, Abreu MVP, Moncada/Giolito/Lopez finish top 3 for ROY. 90+ wins. Sox lose World Series to Cubs in Game 7 on an Avi error

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 12:06 PM) Seems like the SCII isn't really interested in offering Flynn immunity. Which probably means they have some pretty damning info and don't need him to talk as much as he thinks Oh boy.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 10:39 AM) Your strategy is to hold onto Q for 4 years and bank on guys in the upcoming draft and Robert to be immediate impact players in that time? Nah, still best to trade him. But providing the argument otherwise for the hell of it.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 10:24 AM) So we only keep him for 1, maybe 2 years of being good? Pass. Give me a haul sometime in the next 4 months. Counter point: The youngsters start coming up and the huge FA class hits. Quintana leads your staff of Q, Rodon and any three of Giolito/Lopez/Fulmer and possibly even Kopech or Hansen. Suddenly you might even be able to flip some of the young pitching. Q is definitely a leader in the clubhouse and could easily fill this team's Lester role. I think the upcoming draft, Robert and returns for Frazier/Nelly/Robertson will ultimately decide Q's fate if no team blows them away.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 07:54 PM) Wapo reporting that Nunes got fed info from three White House sources now. https://t.co/1L4qV37kMV My god this would make for great reading if it weren't real life.

Butler and a deep dish pizza for Danny Ainge.

And for reference, some of the past pre-season 1-1 favorites, depending on publication. Carlos Rodon Michael Mautella Alec Hansen

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 06:40 PM) I don't think when it is all said and done, Beer is a 1-1 guy. Still top of the draft, but corner OF/1B defensively mediocre guys haven't been going that high in recent years. This. Beer could easily fall some slots.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 06:01 PM) Immunity for what?!? From "lock him up" chants.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 03:23 PM) You will once you see what we get back if he were to win the Cy. Teams might actually offer a Top 10 prospect at that point

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 03:13 PM) There's a chance he wins it on another team. Then we trade back for him!
