Quin

If Walsh didn't throw his arm out placing the team on his back, I have no doubt he'd have gone down as a GOAT pitcher. Let's not pretend like he wasn't sheer dominance for a few seasons.

I mean look, Carly ruined HP and I don't like these big-time CEOs of companies that get paid zillions of dollars when the little guy gets much less. Hillary? Geez. There are so many examples of her being just an elitist-type mean person. I don't want her in the White House, sorry. And ooops add Sarah Palin to my dislike/hate list. I mean I just don't like anything bout her, either. From her policies to her demeanor, me no likey Palin. Now Elizabeth Dole?? I love her. Class act. Wonderful! Give me some more choices. Not Florina and Hilly for gosh sakes. I respect many many people on soxtalk. I just don't see how anybody who likes a good hot dog and beer and ballgame, a down and dirty Chicago southsider, can be for somebody who comes across as so non-chicago as Hilly! Again, I will support women! Just not Hilly/Florina/Sarah. And as well all know, none of the Republican candidates are exhibiting elitist tendencies.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 23, 2015 -> 08:15 PM) Quintana has held the title of the most underrated pitcher in baseball for a little while now. There are even several posters here that claim he's a solid #3 at best. The Feathered Serpent is sick of this bulls***.

Arrieta should get the MVP, NL Cy Young and AL Cy Young.

Ben Zobrist is a bad idea all around.

We have a guest post from author Doug Wilson, about the famous confrontational moment between Carlton Fisk and Deion Sanders. http://www.chicagonow.com/soxnet/2015/09/w...met-neon-deion/ Wilson is the author of "Pudge: The Biography of Carlton Fisk", the first complete biography of Chicago White Sox icon Carlton Fisk, to be released October 20, 2015.

WNBA alert: Elena Delle Donne's PER and WS/48 this past year would have been the best in NBA history. Top 3 in WNBA history. She's legitimately amazing.

Man, Carson is more of a politician than most of the people running.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) It's just a message board. Nobody's 'living' in the past or even present on the message board, just spending leisure time and commenting. It's not that big a deal. That was deep Greg. That was deep.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 02:49 PM) Wait, this actually f***ing happened? How many damn times does RV have to send a position player out to pitch. IT'S EXPANDED ROSTERS HOW THE f*** DO YOU NOT HAVE A PITCHER READY TO GO IN? Yo, Alexei had a 90 MPH fastball, a 79 curve and a 67 change-up. Robin is turning him into the fabled swing player.

Blake really wants to be a role model for kids in the inner city, which was really refreshing to hear.

Just saw the clips of it on Sports Center. Where did Alexei of all people get three different pitches at distinct speeds?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 11:08 PM) We should do a mini poll. Who would you rather have manage the Sox next year if these were the only choices: Robin or Ozzie or Bevington? I'd take ... OZZIE! No way?

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 05:53 AM) Rachel McAdams is the female lead in Doctor Strange with Cumberbatch. Didn't know she turned down the Pepper Potts role. If they add Mikkelsen as rumored, that cast is phenomenal.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 08:45 AM) http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7023269/...equest-released If you ask to leave a job while still under contract, you're quitting. But why don't the media bring it up NOW? Cause it's no big deal!

I got in the car it was 7-3. How the f*** did 7-7 happen?

Oh s***. (Trayce)

Marcus is bad at D.

Why would you do this?

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Sep 13, 2015 -> 09:08 PM) Our bullpen is not horrific. Bullpen SIERAs (best pitching peripheral, what your ERA should be): David Robertson: 1.97 Nate Jones: 2.02 Zach Putnam: 3.03 Zach Duke: 3.21 Dan Jennings: 3.31 Matt Albers: 3.39 Jake Petricka: 3.42 Webb has no business in the bullpen but that's a decent 7. As you say the defence blows and that coupled with some bad luck has meant some inflated ERAs. God is the defense bad. I wish they could sign Heyward for RF, pray Trayce's bat can carry in LF and Melky to DH. Problem is LaRoche and I doubt Hahn would have Avi start at AAA. Saladino-Alexei-Sanchez-Abreu makes a decent defensive INF. Problems with what to do with Micah arise.

Ed Walsh Chris Sale Billy Pierce Mark Buehrle Ted Lyons Red Faber Going with the six man.
