QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 12, 2016 -> 10:13 PM) Chisox sought desmond for SS late for "north of" alexei's 4M, but when he didn't take it spent 10M on latos/rollins/ajax https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/708684360505888769 I like our usage of the money more.

White Privilege?
QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 08:16 AM) Not surprising. If I was a prospective college student out that way, any interest I may have had in that university would be greatly diminished Yup, I lost my job next semester due to budget cuts.

2016 Republican Thread
QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 07:02 PM) His first mistake was trying to do a rally in Chicago. Do it in Springfield or something, it's never going to work in the downtown area. Then he decides to go do it at liberal campus?

White Sox HR totals should get a big boost this year
QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 08:48 AM) Imagine that offense with the current pitching staff. Wow. Or just the previous year's pitching. Would have been one of the best teams ever.

Shooting in CO at Batman premiere
QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 12:23 AM) Why would anybody oppose the public knowing where the bastard is being imprisoned? It is the right of the victims families to follow him during his life. To know where the hell he is being kept. It's not like we're going to go there and visit him and yell at him. He has to approve visitors and the government asks why in the hell you want to visit? It is a right of all of us and public record to know where he is being kept. Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby.

White Sox sign Jimmy Rollins
QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 02:07 PM) http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/165...pitch-variation Looks to me like the Rollins signing is already paying off with the youngsters. So Rollins is a teaching assistant? Sounds like he could be getting setup for a coaching job after this year.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 11:56 AM) Hahaha they really put and MVP incentive in his contract? I feel like it's usually in anyones contact. Let's hope Latos and Rollins get all of their incentives.

Our Defense is Still Bad
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 11:57 AM) You are correct, in 2014 he was a gold glove finalist. UZR had him as a top 10 in the league defensive CF. In 2015 he was quite bad. Not terrible, but bad is an appropriate description - UZR had him as the 3rd worst qualifying CF in the big leagues. It certainly remains possible for him to return to his 2014 form. However, counting on that to rescue a defense that is generally terrible around him seems dicey, especially when he's already dealing with injury rehab. But we'll see. Maybe there's a coaching issue there somewhere? He was benched for a day last year while not listening to the coaches regarding positioning. Oh, I'm not banking on it. Austin Jackson still makes the most sense, because I feel like Eaton would excel in RF as he does have a strong arm.

Our Defense is Still Bad
QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 11:36 AM) His arm is a wet noodle isn't it? Quite the opposite. Just because he's a short, grindy player doesn't automatically mean a wet noodle.

Wasn't Eaton a Gold Glove finalist a few years ago?

Fowler Signs with Cubs
QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 28, 2016 -> 11:32 AM) btw, what ever happened to the short lived proclamation of, if the admin or mods has a problem, they will PM that poster...... only rules to suit themselves. How many times have we PM'd? LDF, I can tell you the mods don't have it out for people with differing opinions. We are entitled to our opinions as well. People don't get banned/suspended for their opinions.

2015-2016 NBA Thread
I find it funny that Jordan hasn't been crochety and angry towards them. Also pulling heavily for the Spurs in the playoffs now. Yes, it's petty, but I want to see that Bulls team remain unquestioned.

Fowler Signs with Cubs
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 27, 2016 -> 10:06 AM) Just for clarities sake, what was the White Sox payroll in 1996? I can tell you Albert Belle's deal when adjusted for inflation would be 5 years / $83M in today's money.
