QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 05:46 PM) He should be fired if they don't make the tournament. No recruit is more important than the coach in place You're used to being wrong. A top 10 class is enough excitement to sustain a program for one year. The effects of firing Groce after this season would be catastrophic. QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) Agreed. Don't encourage him.

It would be unpleasant, but it's for all the right reasons.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 05:35 PM) It must be awesome to have a competent front office yup. They were bad bad bad. They had a game that got a zero rating. They haven't won anything, but there's a lot to be excited about in Houston.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 06:26 PM) I find it hard to believe that you can call Cespedes garbage. I would love to see a middle of an order that has Abreu, Cespedes and Frazier. Spoiler alert: Last place. Again. The garbage is watching more of this crap baseball.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) Did we make a NCAA tourney yet? The Tilmon signing removes Groce from the hot seat at this point. If he blows this, he's done in 2019.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 10:04 AM) My off season plan for 2017 is very simple. Keep Sale+Quintana and sign Cespedes and Castro as free agents. So, apparently you enjoy this perennial losing garbage?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 08:19 AM) Interest isn't the issue. It's getting that one team to give you what you want for Sale. Odds are they should get that. There are a bunch of teams that Sale would put over the top to win now. We're not that.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 08:17 AM) Eaton, like Sale and Q, would need a blown away package. He's 28 and will not be be a happy camper if we trade most of the veterans. We don't have to move him but he could be a possibility. Might as well move him, too. We're in agreement, though.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 08:17 AM) So we have at least 4 teams that have expressed at least some interest in Sale (Boston, LA, Atlanta, and Washington). This couldn't be playing out any better for the Sox IMO. Keep pinning all these teams against each other and take the best offer. Agreed. If Sale is on the roster opening day for us, Rick and Kenny have (yet again) failed miserably.

QUOTE (Donaldo @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 08:48 PM) Boston needs a DH. For the right prospect, I'd trade him in a heartbeat. At 30, his best years are probably NOT ahead of him. That's a sobering thought, but you're probably not wrong.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 08:10 AM) This. Eaton is part of the core, no reason to move him right now. You definitely won't get anything approaching a fair market value for him, so don't even pretend he's going anywhere. You still need veterans on this team anyways. Starting with Eaton, Rodon, and Anderson isn't a bad core to build around. Starting with a 28 year old is a mistake. You're essentially wasting his prime.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 07:24 AM) Went to the dealership to buy an X5, walked out with another Jeep. congrats on the new car!

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 05:46 PM) I don't follow much beyond the B1G schools in basketball recruiting, but is there a Power 5 school in the country with worse luck with de-commits than Illinois? I know de-commits happen all the time in football, but they seem to be way less prevalent in basketball. In the last decade, we've had Gordon, Snider, and now probably Tilmon all flip right around signing day. What the hell is wrong with this program? The problem is this Illinois program needs to be a lot better with all the four star guys they have.

A Jetta is expensive to fix for what you get. I know this sounds boring, but get an Accord or a Civic before you get a Jetta. At least those things will run without problems. The new Civic is super slick.

Honestly, I thought Arrival was incredible. A top five sci-fi film I have ever seen.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 02:16 PM) now if greg says bet the house on the other hand... How many houses does he have?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 01:34 PM) Guys, Trump will be normalized. He saidw hat he had to say to get elected. He'll be normalized and we'll all survive the next 4 years. I really hope you're right.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 10:50 AM) Drew Poemeranz and Andrew Cashner did. Jose Abreu can bring back 1 if not 2 top 100 guys. Not after last season. Plus, he's essentially a DH to a lot of teams.

Frazier just isn't very good. His power numbers are great, but his performance relative to his power numbers is poor.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:45 AM) That is fascinating. I had no idea that both candidates had that kind of drop off. I am totally stealing these numbers. Lower voter turnout is always terrible for Democrats

Really classy speech from Obama. The former presidents all seem so classy.

There are so many smart people on both sides of the aisle and Omarrossa to hold a cabinet position is not beyond the realm of possibilities.

A couple of lone bright spots for me include Kamala Harris and Tammy Duckworth. The Senate is finally becoming more diverse.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 09:15 AM) Paul Ryan could be the most powerful man in America, highly doubt he is going anywhere. He shattered all kinds of campaign funds records. I'm inclined to agree with you.
