Yet again Hope Solo makes an ass of herself. She's among the worst of the worst

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 10:36 PM) Jerry Krause is underrated but if one time success means forever credit where does Al Davis stand? Reinsdorf philosophy largely works for orgs too timid to go for it when you have a competitive team near the top, but it's keeping the w sox in limbo. 7 successes. That's twice what Davis has. Not sure why this is so hard for people. I don't love the current Sox ownership method, but this guy has championships in two sports. His age has clouded his judgement, but there's no need for horrible ownership stupidity. In a town with so little hardware, Reinsdorf organizations are responsible for the majority of it.

Most of these scenarios have the appeal of projectile vomit during a one night stand.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 09:46 PM) He bought the team when they already had the greatest player of all-time on the roster. I can't imagine how incompetent an organization would had to have been not to win multiple championships with Michael Jordan. 7. Championships You struggling to put your pants on in the morning has won the city 0 championships. QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) He gets credit for owning the team. So what? He'd be about 20th on the list of people actually responsible for it. Where should the owner rank? 7. Championships.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) He had nothing to do with those Bulls championships. He didn't hire the front office that drafted Michael Jordan. It would have been nearly impossible to screw that up. This is complete nonsense. He owned the team, he gets the credit. 7 championships. 7. How many championships does Chicago even have as a city? Reinsdorf has 7 of them.

The fact that Hope Solo isn't at least suspended from the USWNT is disgraceful.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 08:02 AM) We are stuck with Shields, nobody is going to want to deal for him this offseason. 2017 rotation: Sale Quintana Shields Rodon Fulmer We better hope Shields and Rodon are good next year If I'm Hahn, I put Shields on waivers. And your 2017 rotation would indicate the Sox are going with perennial failure mode. No thanks.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:48 AM) I'm very forgiving. It's hard to remember what you said two years ago when your job is to talk every day. But, he took such a stand on Patrick Kane. Then, he kind of laughs off the "boob" comment on Twitter. Now, he thinks it's ok for the Cubs to trade for Chapman because, "They are trying to win?" No. Just no. He described the Cubs as "a lot less likable" after the trade. Bernstein's response to the Chapman trade has been less militant because most of Chicago seems understands that Chapman is a monster and aren't super comfortable having him on the Cubs. He went hard on Patrick Kane because that situation was a textbook case of mistreatment of potential sexual assault victims by fans and media.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2016 -> 08:21 PM) What makes this even worse is Anderson is fading hard and with Tilson out, there's not much to care about This whole thing just reeks of organizational mismanagement

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 02:07 AM) If the season ended today they'd have the 12th pick next draft. Watch / Listen / Care in hopes they lose every game from here on out - hoping that they draft well in 2017. Hoping that such a disappointing year would force Jerry to clean house. Root for the young guys, hope that they develop. Hope that the new guard goes into the offseason and makes good trades to right the ship. That's as sound of an argument as I can come up with logically. Emotionally, I will ALWAYS be a white sox fan who watches, listens, and cares because it is in my DNA. For better or for worse. Edit: poop. Man, when you spell it out like that, that's a lot of things that have to go right.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 11:15 PM) Anybody worried about Zika virus? Problems in Florida but virus has been discovered in almost every state in the USA. Is this the big one? Or not. Worried? Or not. http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/01/health/cdc-m...ning/index.html It's a real problem and now with the Olympics, it's likely to spread to other parts of the world.

I read somewhere he and Abreu don't like each other. Make it happen, Kenny

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 04:20 PM) The Sox have gotten better at scouting young talent, their problem is scouting at the ML level Based on what evidence?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) Not surprising considering what front office were talking about. Time to take a break from this organization. It's literally nauseating. I'm in agreement. Sucks.

QUOTE (MDWhiteSoxFan @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) So who is the big name we get this off season ala Shark last year and Frazier this year? My guess is Puig Hopefully a new GM

QUOTE (heirdog @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 03:02 PM) what is bonus time? is it a real thing? even the yankees managed to off load ivan nova in the waning moments... There's a period where an announcement is possible.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) Bummer. I get why they haven't moved them. Blow it all up in the offseason. They won't. They have a BS three year plan.

Holy cow. Rangers and Yankees having amazing trade deadline.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 01:03 PM) I don't know if he's a troll but his posts do scream that he's a cubs fan. Or a completely disenchanted White Sox fan. I'm sorry, but this White Sox organization is so pathetic, it deserves every ounce of criticism it gets. What a complete disaster the last decade has been.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) That is an opinion. I get your stance, but you don't trade Q and Sale unless you get what you want, and so long as you have those dudes, you may as well try to compete. I think more frustration is rooted in the fact that there are a lot of assets they should have moved prior to the deadline.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 02:22 PM) TRADE ROBERTSON I'm shocked so many players are still on this roster.

I'll take Puig for Shields

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) Benintendi wiki page is updated to say he's on the White Sox. Might mean nothing, but might... I hate the internet right now.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 11:29 AM) George Ofman is the worst. He killed Ryne Sandberg, told us the Bears gave up 391 points in a quarter once. The funnies might be when he buried all the children of Johnny Red Kerr.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) George Ofman ‏@georgeofman 6m6 minutes ago Chicago, IL It appears there will be no deal for Sale between Sox and Sox. Things though, could change. "Skip Caray, who's father is the legendary Harry and whose son is Skip, died in his sleep last night. Make that his son, Chip"
