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.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 11:46 AM) Does it really though? Avi is only controlled through 2020. I just don't see him being a long term piece unless he's figured it out for real and the Sox sign him to an extension. Unless Avi turns into a legit MVP bat for the next three seasons, he's not going to command top dollar. And with Rick Hahn, we'd lock him up prior.

Avi and Davidson turning into even just semi-productive players goes a long way for a rebuild.

lol

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 07:01 PM) Lol at "Greg talks about baseball" Your posts read like Onion articles, and yet you believe every word you say. Go Sox!

M-V-AVI

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 04:41 PM) considering many publications had him as the number 1 overall prospect in baseball - i got an idea of how that will go No. 1 prospect for three years.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 12:48 AM) The problem for Davidson has always been his k rate and defense. He has incredible opposite field power, though. Quentin-esque. And his defense improved over his time in the system. Would be great if he can maximize his opportunity.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 12:49 PM) The guy is 70 years old. Chances are good he'll die within the next 10 years because of law of averages. Let the guy golf while he can. My only addendum to this statement is if he indeed campaigned on never taking time off. If he did that (prove it to me) then he should be called on that at every news conference. But aside from that, let the man golf. p.s. It would be nice if he paid for his own travel, but isn't it law he HAS to take Air Force One everywhere and travel with SS agents everywhere? Good thing he owns the golf courses. I bet the guys in charge hate having to give free carts to all the SS agents. I wonder if the agents bring clubs and pretend they are golfers. We should let him golf cause he's old? Lol no

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 04:00 PM) How about if you go out to eat, get asked to leave by management, refuse and put up a stink that requires them to get the police to remove you? That is a little better comparison. People might be wondering just why you went so crazy when asked to leave, are you mentally stable? I would have raised a stink too but I think that about the time the popo arrived I might be moving a bit on my own. More like you're seated, paid for your order, then told you have to leave.

I've got the following games I've missed on for once I finish grad school in a month. Horizon: Zero Dawn, Kingdom Hearts collection (all 9), Mass Effect: Andromeda, Witcher III...anything else i'm missing right now?

Man, in all of the prospect mania, there's Alec Hansen.

QUOTE (beautox @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 07:04 PM) I agree, also I thought Kahnle pitched well but was getting squeezed, it would be great if he develops. I would love for nothing more than Shields get back to his 3+WAR ways and Kahnle become a 1.5+ bullpen piece. Since we gave up decent assets in Tatis and Almonte to get both of them. Then sell Shields off with $ to get a prospect that rivals Tatis Don't even need to send much money with Shields, since the Padres are paying so much.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 03:15 PM) If Assad's worse than Hitler, why are we categorically denying all refugees from Syria? Cause we did it with the Jews.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 12:01 PM) Tilmon got his release this morning, so maybe that? Most likely. Seems like that happened right during our budget meeting.

Sports desk told me some s*** with Mizzou should happen today, but take it with a grain of salt.

Pelfrey signing already paying off.
