QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 06:52 AM) The toy stores are already selling They've been selling those toys for a while now, simply because the design is cool.

*Rizzo and Hahn complete a Robertson for Robles swap* Rizzo: "Guys! I got us a closer! I know you wanted one after one of you texted WTF to Rosenthal!' Anyone in Nats org: "Who'd you get?" "David Robertson!" "Oh, he's a great buy low candidate. Injuries hampered him last year, but after this offseason his contract is pretty good. What'd we give up?" "Robles" "..." "Rick Hahn told me he'd be really sad to not get Robles after talking about him so much with the Sale and Eaton dals: "..." Meanwhile, in the land of reality, I'd love Stevenson and Severino, depending on Robertson's market value.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 12:46 PM) The #Whitesox, who refused to include closer David Robertson in Adam Eaton deal with #Nats, now sitting on valuable trade chip https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/808382153545449473 Rick Hahn playing the market to perfection so far.

QUOTE (Nokona @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 04:48 PM) Liquidate everything and sign him. A player this valuable essentially breaks the game. Enabling him to play both sides of the ball at a high level would be unreal. Don't even have to liquidate. The Sox have $35M committed to the 2018 season and that includes Quintana, Robertson and the whole dollar amount of Shields' deal (I forget how much the Padres are paying). QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 12:11 PM) As a baseball fan, I hope he goes to the National League. His bat is just as good as his arm. Well, maybe not as good, but its damn impressive. Play him at DH. A pitcher that also hits throughout the week (well) would be a sensation.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 10:53 AM) Not exterminate terrorists....exterminate Muslims. WTF via To be fair, the EIC of West's website said that the meme was posted without their knowledge. Now, who knows if you believe them, but worth noting.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 10:20 AM) I like this a lot Despite the recent trades, Hansen is still the prospect that intrigues/excites me the most.

Bless this paragraph.

Bless this paragraph.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 07:35 AM) Eh.. he's a long shot now with his second TJS unfortunately. If we get Burger, Pint and Beer Jace Fry will get called up solely for marketing.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 05:31 PM) Would people here rather have Pint or Hoffman as a second piece behind Rodgers? Personally, Pint. With the amount of starting prospects on the team, I'd go for the one with the higher ceiling and longer ETA. We do know that the Sox loved Hoffman going into the 2014 Draft, so they may still see something they like.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) I, for one, don't particularly love Tapia. I would much prefer McMahon or even Wall over Tapia. The package I really want from the Rockies is probably Rodgers/McMahon/Wall/intriguing arm. If that arm is Almonte, sign me up! #BringAlmonteHome

Lol at this respect the president schtick. Not after eight years of blatant disrespect of Obama from colonial LARPers and Republicans in Congress. Not for the man that ran a campaign built on xenophobia, Islamophobia, racism, sexism, etc. But to bring it full circle, Greg, you gonna respect Duterte? Afterall, he is the president of the Philippines.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 12:10 PM) I think there was a generic tweet at some point for Colorado looking for front line pitching, but nothing mentioning Quintana specifically. To be fair, ESPN's SweetSpot blog posted the Rodgers/Tapia/Pint deal in their speculation. http://www.espn.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/...r-jose-quintana

So, the real victor of the 2016 Election was Russia.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 03:17 PM) They said that they want these films to be like the Harry Potter films, with each film representing a year in school for Peter. And no doubt that Marvel/Disney wants Holland and Brie Larson to be the face of the MCU going forward, along with Chris Pratt. I mean they announced the sequel the day after the trailer came out. Maybe they squeeze his senior year out of it, but after that he's out of high school years.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 03:28 PM) Would you do Nate Jones for Josh Bell? Yup.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 02:29 PM) So this really is rather amazing. We have a foreign intelligence industry successfully intervening in a U.S. Election on behalf of one candidate with the tacit approval of that candidate and other top level officials in his party, including one whose wife is now a cabinet level nominee. At this point, the United States system does not have any way to deal with this. if someone successfully intervenes in the U.S. election using foreign resources, a faulty election still stands because there's no mechanism by which we could do anything about the intervention. This is the worst flaw in the system.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 03:02 PM) If Hahn could pull off Glasnow/Meadows/Bell I would literally s*** myself. That would be a haul! I hope Buster's vision is good. Two Top 10 prospect and another Top 20 feels too good to be true.

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 02:21 PM) It's my favorite potential deal as well. Rodgers is going to be a slam-dunk awesome Major League hitter barring injuries and would look great at 3B for us in a couple years. The Rox are said to be looking for a TOR starter. I'd add Jones to get Rodgers/Tapia/Pint/flier for Q. That'd be arguably better than the Sale deal.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) Saw someone on Twitter saying that Buster Olney said that he could see the Rockies offer Rodgers/Tapia/Pint for Q and the Pirates offer Glasnow/Meadows/Bell or Newman. I'd take either.... Yes. To either.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 11:26 AM) Also the reason that I was just out on Civil War. I knew going in Spidey was a teen. But as I watched it (and the horrific almost spoof that was the original "battle" between both sides where they ran at each other) I just got more and more annoyed. Such great source material bastardized and simplified. f*** that. I deserve more with these characters and have better things to do with my time. Eh, Civil War the comic is pretty terrible unless you read like the whole 120 issue event. Spidey's arc was great though. I still say they should have done it after Infinity War when they had more heroes. And we'll never get Back in Black now, which is one of the most underrated Spidey arcs.

Fortunately since the MCU moves in real time, we'll only have high school Peter for one movie. They're gonna try and stretch him into being the next RDJ/face of the MCU for the next decade.

Sox wouldn't get Sanchez, nor do they need him in a deal with the Yankees.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) How come I was told to cut it out when I was calling her Hilly and Crooked Hilly and we're calling him 'crooked Donnie?' He's the President of the United States, folks. I'd show him some respect or maybe move to Canada. I mean I wouldn't vote for him as is my right to abstain with 2 horrible candidates, but he is my president now. I wasn't crazy about Obama except for his Sox and Chicago fandom but I never showed him disrespect. Let's face it there are inconsistencies on this board which leans Democratic over Republican big time. It actually leans Republican. The reason it seems to lean Democrat is because you go into the Democrat thread, spout your broken record lines without listening to the other posts and then say s*** like "show him respect or move to Canada." You know who he's respecting? The guy carrying out these killings.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 12:10 PM) Oil drilling advocate expected be Trump's pick to head Interior Department: sources Almost finished building his Captain Planet Supervillains team edit: of course she's yet another climate "skeptic" would not be surprised to see a decent amount of our public lands sold off to the highest bidders for resource exploitation. Captain Planet villains aren't even this transparent.
