QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 10:58 AM) Anyone see the report from Rosenthal saying the Cubs almost traded Baez to the Padres for Pomeranz and then flip Pomeranz for a pitcher with more years of control? He didn't seem to indicate that the trade almost happened. It sounded like the Cubs asked about Pomeranz, the Pads asked for Baez in return, and the Cubs scoffed at that.

Cubs finally lose a game to Cincinnati, 9-5.

Very sloppy play today.

Shields gets Headley down 0-2 and then walks him. Damn.

Nice RBI for Avi!

Loading the bases with no outs and not scoring twice in a game is just...wow.

Well, that was just pathetic.

JOSE!!!!!!

Nationals win it on an RBI single by Jesus Werth.

This may be a dumb question, but is it really a one year deal if we sign him in June? I assume it's only until the end of the season, right?

I fully expect the guy with the near 8.00 ERA to shut us down this game.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 2, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) Yeah, if the Sox get that far, good luck beating them in a playoff series where the rotation goes Sale-Q-Latos-Rodon-Sale-Q-Latos. Even if you assume you beat Rodon, which isn't a given, you still have to win 3 games against the other three. Let's see how the rest of the season plays out for Latos before we start putting him up there with Sale and Q.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ May 2, 2016 -> 11:31 AM) I realize this topic has probably been beaten to death here, but I can't find it. Google searching for news on Buehrle makes everything seem like crickets so far. Is he just holding out for a Cardinals offer, staying retired otherwise? Last I heard Buehrle has not officially retired, but he hasn't been throwing either. If he were to pitch this season he'd probably need a few months to get into shape.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 1, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) Frazier hit on hand Is he still in the game?

I blame this whole debacle on Erik Johnson being a f***ing bust. I suppose I've been spoiled with the last several years of Sale, Quintana and Rodon but had Johnson lived up to his potential we would never be hearing the names "Danks" or "Gonzalez" again.

I don't really understand the Morneau talk. As I see it, with LaRoche gone, the Sox now have four outfielders fighting for three starting spots, plus the DH position, and that's not counting whoever makes the team as the fourth outfielder (Shuck or Sands). So that would be Jackson in CF, Eaton in RF/LF and either Cabrera or Garcia in RF/LF with the other acting as the team's primary DH. Unless Avi gets moved, where would Morneau fit on the roster?

Jacob May 2-run blast. 11-4 Arizona in the 7th.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) We really need another SP. Where's Mark Buehrle when you need him?

Erik Johnson looks like the high school bully in a crappy '90s high school sitcom.

LaRoche stays injured and Travis Ishikawa makes the OD roster, putting up similar if not better numbers to LaRoche for the rest of the season.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) When Chris Rock did his "man on the street" thing with black people outside a movie theater in Compton, he asked them if they saw (fill in the blank "white" movie). The answer was pretty much "no" across the board. If, as a community, you largely ignore "white" films, how can you be outraged when black actors/films aren't nominated? If you, as a community, don't see the work done by white actors in "white" films, what is your frame of reference for outrage? Bingo.

This is pretty morbid. It's like those Celebrity Death Pools people put out at the start of every year.
