QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 01:45 PM) Haven't exactly been wrong about this team collapsing. I'm just hoping they got anything left in them. Unlike some on here Im pretty excited for this offseason.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 01:39 PM) It was a joke. Relax. You might want to make that clear next time. Some of the crap people have been spewing on here lately has been embarrassing.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 01:37 PM) Yep. When I think of exciting, energetic teams, teams that look like they want to be out there, the Sox are dead last on that list. The fact that you think the players are happy that Detroit is making the playoffs is quite sad actually.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 01:34 PM) He has the right to say they all are ready for this horrible end of the season to be over. These guys are ready to be patted on the back for "doing better than anyone expected." This is one of the most pathetic displays in White Sox history. He has the right to be completely wrong.That whole statement just shows you have no idea what is going through the players minds.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 01:26 PM) I'm sure our players will be happy. That just confirms you have no idea what your talking about

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 05:07 PM) No idea, but if they slash payroll, I wouldn't blame them. Well if they start that they might as well start rebuilding. I dont see a need for that after this year. Infact I think it would be foolish.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 05:04 PM) Yikes How much money to do you think Jerry will let us spend?

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 05:00 PM) Cherry picking really???? AJ had a nice run here, but the time has come to move on Yeah that was the definition of cherry picking. Basically taking all the good away(one of his best years) and looking at the bad. Im not a fan of putting Tyler Flowers at the starting catcher spot.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:59 PM) Hey, I've loved flavum's post about standings/upcoming schedule all year. Thats great he still said that in a gamethread three weeks ago.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) Bad defense, bad at bats may I say more? Well thats cherry picking from alot of good he had this year

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) Flavum, season over after Monday night? According to him the season was over three weeks ago

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:53 PM) Ummm no... Well thank you for providing a reason.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:51 PM) We already have an $83 million obligation towards next season. So KW and Hahn need to get creative. I bet Jerry shells out the cash. This pitching staff is going to need a few new members.

Yeah see thats one of the reasons I want AJ back.

I thought AJ was gone for sure 2 years ago before he got resigned. I kinda feel the same way now but hopefully management can get him resigned.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:36 PM) Can't say that AJ would leave us in bad hands if he left us I dont think I want Flowers starting.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:33 PM) It would be funny if him and Youk went to the Cubs. It's definitely possible. I think adding those 2 would defeat the purpose of what they are trying to accomplish there.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:31 PM) when do we start pulling for the no hitter Why on Earth would you pull for a no hitter?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:28 PM) Poor Jake, he didn't earn his money with the White Sox. He did get mad a lot, though. I dont feel bad for Peavy at all. He will still get a decent amount of money in free agency.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:26 PM) Wow Peavy, what a dick. Names off a top 3 for Cy Young, and he doesn't mention his own teammate. He can leave now

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:13 PM) Thanks for a hell of 2012 Chris Yep was fantastic this year. Cant wait to see what he can give us next year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) Agreed, he's not doing much to help you win today. Looking more and more like 3 games out after tomorrow is a strong possibility. I dont like being in the middle with the standings. Either win it or end it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 10:54 PM) Reasons I think Sox are in better position now than a year ago: - Dunn proved that he didn't forget how to play the game of baseball, meaning his contract wasn't an absolute waste going forward - Manto was able to make Rios into a good player again - Chris Sale proved he can be a very good starter in the majors - Good experience for Reed and Jones (Jones was never even expected to be in the big leagues this year) - Quintana came out of nowhere and gives you hope he can be a 5th starter. Santiago started the year as closer, failed, and then showed some promise as a possible starter - ADA proved he can be a very solid player, and gives us the best all-around leadoff hitter the Sox have had in a long time - Ventura proved he knows how to motivate the players and create a good environment in the clubhouse. The biggest setback was Morel looking like he's not MLB caliber, causing the Sox to have to scramble to find a 3B this year and in the future. Well said

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) Are you fly on the wall in the organization? You never know

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 10:47 PM) You didn't hear? The Sox will lose Peavy, Floyd, AJ, Youk and Thornton and won't replace them with anyone outside the organization. Hell I think thats the most exciting part
