QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) lol. The cubs are one of the very best teams in the majors right now, it might have taken them 100+ years, but there team was masterfully crafted. It's not even fair

So is Ladd going to take 61?

St. Louis loses. Dallas got a softie through. Tied 3-3 in the 3rd.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) The only reason I can think of to do it is to keep Sanders far, far away. YES. This.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 09:22 PM) Hahaha, Sam Fels and the Committed Indian is what you're bringing to the table? You're right, I don't know hockey at all. What does he say that's wrong? Have you really been a meathead this whole time?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) The fact that you gave a link to the committed indian is laughable. That dude is a joke. Had a total agenda with the Kane case. All about click bait. Seabrook has been great offensively, and average on defense. He's fine. Every Blackhawks player except Keith (sample size for Keith/Seabs: 80 minutes) is better with Seabs on the bench.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 09:08 PM) The front office, and most fans disagree with that assessment. See trade today. Maybe I should quote it for you He's the worst player on the ice every game. The Blackhawks defense runs two players deep. Crawford has bailed out Seabs all season.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Jesus, you really can be an unhappy human sometimes. He's a 10 year veteran that been one of the Top 15 Dman in the league for a large portion of it. I'm willing to give him a little more time before labeling him a liability or a problem. I call it like it is. 7 has been bad defensively. Period. You don't like it? Get over it. http://thecommittedindian.com/follow-me-to...idateeven-good/

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 09:03 PM) @Real_ESPNLeBrun Still unsure if Dan Hamhuis will want to waive, but if he does, I think the teams in play for him are Chicago and Dallas... That would address a much bigger need.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 08:12 PM) That makes a career high in goals for Brent Seabrook. Too bad he's become a liability on defense. The top line has been rough this season, but now at least that is solved. Seabrook is still a problem.

That top line should be more fun

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 06:02 PM) Rizzo and Schwarber sure but you're being a bit liberal with the term "young star" if you include Baez and Soler. Russell needs to develop with the bat first to be considered a star, and as Fangraphs pointed out in the article below his batted ball profile last year was rather poor, with a low line drive rate, high pop-up rate, and well below average exit velocity to go along with the high K-rate. He's got some pop but still needs to prove more at the plate before I consider him a "star". http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2015-positi...trospective-2b/ Addison Russell was among the best defensive shortstops in the game and a defensive difference make we haven't seen on the south side in forever. And you inexplicably exclude Bryant. Rizzo, Bryant, Russell, and Schwarber. All under 26. The Cubs would be good without free agent signings. Their lineup now is terrifying.

RIP

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 12:13 PM) I don't give a f*** what the reason is, Sox fans have the right to be pissed off about this. For sure. Fan crap aside, this s*** is pretty annoying.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 11:52 AM) Really 10 picks because you might as well count White as a rookie. Yup. This draft is everything to the Pace regime. If they can land >5 real players they are on track.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 11:57 AM) Without being too over confident, I would image there are very few players that wouldn't waive their NTC to play here for a few months. I don't think that will be a major concern for the Hawks I think Chicago is one of a handful of teams that a player would want to be traded from a Canadian team to.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Feb 24, 2016 -> 09:55 PM) Roll call! Black Sox Jerksticks Alexeihhhhyyyeees (love your name dude if i never said it) Littlehurt05 Dick Allen Sign up. Reading anything that spoiled turd Brett writes on bleachernation makes me want to puke. Yes, I troll that page. It's little battles like reminding them they tanked, that Sam Zell used their fanbase like an old whore, that their players are still prospects and may bust, or that now that they have Schwarber all the traditionalist-purity-of-the-NL-pitchers-need-to-hit-to-call-it-real-baseball whining phonies are going to turn heels and become the biggest hypocrites on earth clammoring for the DH when he posts a -50 dWAR this year. Winning those little battles of reminding them it's BS helps a bit. I'm going to need a therapist if they win Get ready to spend through your deductible sometime in the next 4-6 years. Clearly Fowler wanted to play for the Cubs. What a difference 10 years makes.

Good lord, what an awful offseason.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 09:16 AM) Apparently the Cubs ownership is anti-Trump. Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump I hear the Rickets family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $'s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide! The Rickets find Trump insufficiently conservative. That is mind-boggling.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 24, 2016 -> 09:44 AM) http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/02/inte...ed-dodgers.html Seems reasonable. The Yankees and Cubs have spent a boatload on international scouting and are seeing (what I would consider) an unfair advantage.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) How would you like to owe this guy $80 million the next 4 years? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CbxRaiNWEAA6d2k.jpg Yikes. That is a professional athlete? Good for Boston. They've earned it. The Boston Globe ✔‎@BostonGlobe “No, I don’t got nothing to prove,” Pablo Sandoval said when he arrived at spring training http://bos.gl/HdnPD4i Talk about an appropriate use of the double negative.

QUOTE (kevo880 @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 02:38 PM) Hahaha I never even think about what my avatar is. Very good point. Need to get Shark out of there. Among the forgettable White Sox tenures, Shark is high on the list, for sure.

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) good and has it worked???? Because of profit sharing, no it has not. The MLB isn't like the Premier League where a fanbase can walk out causing an ownership team to apologize.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 04:27 PM) Now when that happens...its just dumb. I think the whole cross town rivalry is fun and everything but its dumb to question someones fandom if they arent interested in it. I get it to some extent. They're emotional because their Cubs fan friends/rivals have a ton of reasons for excitement. While I'm bullish on the White Sox relative to last year, I'm incredibly envious of the Cubs fan down the hall. I just don't let underlying rage drive my fandom.
