QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 08:25 PM) The Sox are never going to go over bonus level for IFA Not until Reinsdorf dies and the team is sold. I'm convinced that's what the team needs to build a perennial winner, which breaks my heart because I have so much respect for what Reinsdorf has done.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 08:18 PM) That cub fans are douche bags? Cubs fans are douches and the Sox suck

That is so gone.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 08:18 PM) Two Oh right, I didn't count the douche part.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 08:15 PM) My cub friends are douche bags with the texts I'm getting tonight. It's over, champagne is chilling, and my favorite, sox suck. Only one of those statements is true.

That's another Cubs rookie. Oh my god.

I made a comment earlier about the BS Cubs fans, but honestly, the Cardinals fans are almost as bad. Taking the north/south side bias out, the Cardinals are the worst fans in baseball.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 04:38 PM) And I'd be happy for her if they won it, it's just too bad all the jackasses ruin it. This is my problem with the Cubs, too. The frat boys are obnoxious, but I admire what that organization has done for an otherwise undeserving fanbase of bros who wait in line for the stalls at the Wrigley bathrooms.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 10:56 PM) I'm going to come out and say it, but if you claim to be a true Sox fan and are cheering for the Cubs this postseason then you are a f***ing idiot. Our beloved franchise has always been the ugly step-child of the Chicago sports scene and a Cubs World Series victory would make us even more irreverent. Go ahead and come up with some lame excuse on why it's ok to cheer for them, but you are literally rooting against the well-being of your own franchise. There is no good that comes to the Sox from the Cubs winning the World Series, none whatsoever. It's absolutely disgusting how many "Sox fans" I know are jumping on this bandwagon and it's even worse how many members on this site, a forum that is home to some of the most die-hard Sox fans in the world, are pro-Cubs right now. I respect your opinion, but this post assumes there isn't room for two winning franchises in Chicago. If the Cubs had won in 2003, the White Sox would still have sold out in 2006. There are enough Chicagoans to fill both stadiums. As far as the Sox being "irreverent", I really could care less what ESPN thinks of the White Sox. And hey, maybe the Cubs winning will bring all the White Sox fans out of hiding next summer. That's my hope.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 03:11 PM) I got a feeling jake will be exposed today. I could be way off. I get the same feeling. Mystery first pitch thrower is making the news. Who cares?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 09:11 AM) http://nypost.com/2015/10/11/utley-is-abou...you-play-dirty/ NY media declares war on Utley. In other unsurprising news, Addison Reed still sucks. That seems totally deserved to me. Dirty slides are awful and cheapen the game.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 08:59 AM) It's almost as annoying as that "Go Cubs Go!" theme song. The number one benefit of being far away from the North side. I never have to hear that song.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 09:43 PM) David Wright is the most tenured player in baseball. Don't know why that surprises me so much. That's a heck of a trivia answer right there. I am also shocked.

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Oct 10, 2015 -> 09:14 PM) Btw, you are one weird sox fan. I don't post here much, but I read this forum all of the time. You are one weird dude. You should probably stay off of here. You are nothing but a trouble maker. Sorry, I thought this was the general baseball discussion board. I thought we were talking about the Cubs and the Cardinals series. Not sure what this has to do with my White Sox fandom.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 10, 2015 -> 09:37 PM) 5 unearned runs? Teams that give up 5 unearned probably don't deserve to win the game.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 11:36 PM) During the season you face so many more #3, #4 and #5 starters, middle relievers, etc. When only the top starters & relievers are playing and they take every at-bat seriously, suddenly the top offenses lose some of their advantage. Great point. Pitchers dominate the postseason it seems. It's particularly strange because it feels like hitting and defense play a huge role in getting you to the postseason. It's just so baseball.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 10, 2015 -> 08:20 PM) Cards should have won this game. Too many errors. Really? Losing 6-3 but "should have won?" Okay. sure.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 08:38 AM) That's actually not true at all as they were going on this morning on The Score about the Astros and Mets. Everyone is aware of the young talent across the league. The four rookies on the North Side are impressive, but the Astros look even better from a longevity standpoint.

Astros over Royals in 5 Blue Jays over Rangers in 4 Cubs over Cardinals in 4 Dodgers over Mets in 4 Blue Jays over Astros in 6 Dodgers over Cubs in 6 Blue Jays over Dodgers in 6

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 8, 2015 -> 07:59 AM) "Go Cubs Go" is being BLASTED literally five feet away from me. On a loop. I'm listening to my music but it's so damn loud I can barely hear it. FML. AustinIllini, I wish I lived in Austin this month. This is terrible. Come on down. Normally, this time of year, I would say "Watch out for Longhorn fans", but they're terrible, so it's just San Francisco, Texas right now. Plus, it's ACL time, but if you went to Lolla, you probably saw a lot of the acts there.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 07:12 PM) Who is Adams? Amos? I've been very impressed with Amos, but am not sure who Adams is. "Misspoke" thanks.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 11:16 PM) Tell that to Trevor Noah after 1 episode of the Daily Show! Make up your mind!!!! It is certainly one game and it doesn't matter, but this is what you get with Daley and Garbutt.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 11:05 PM) Sox have already added the top college pitcher the last two years. Pretty good start to rebuilding a team while not losing the best assets in the majors. At the end of the day, the White Sox have been abysmal at drafting positional talent. Their pitching draft picks are good, but their batting and defense continue to be a problem despite strong pitching staffs. QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 11:10 PM) I love how a lot of the chronic complainers act like we've averaged 95 losses over the last decade. Boo freaking hoo, it hasn't been that bad. Either your eyes, your television, or a combination of both are not working.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 10:18 PM) Yeah there is, you'd be throwing away 4-5 seasons with no guarantees that you'll be any better off. It only makes sense if you are in a truly desperate situation, which despite all your wailing is not the case here. What about the last 9 years doesn't scream "desperation"? Look at where the Astros and Cubs are now.
