Goodbye Soxtalk
God I hope not. The vitriol towards their father would be tough to swallow.

RON IN 2019: Thinking of cheering for the Cubs next year
Pecota has the Cubs winning 80-82 games next year. Good luck with that. You had better figure out how to take this down because you're essentially done here with that post.

Machado signs with Padres 10/300
See guys. This is what happens. You get these horrible takes.

Machado signs with Padres 10/300
So why weren't six teams trying to match the Padres with such a great deal? Sorry, I don't buy it. If Jerry is cheap for offering a guy $250 million and getting outbid by only one team, that's a soft market, not a cheap owner.

And all the other teams that were interested but didn't match the Padres.

Machado signs with Padres 10/300
One team offered that. So you're saying all the other teams were cheap? Got it. Just wanted to make sure I got your nonsense straight.

Machado signs with Padres 10/300
It's a ton for one guy. It just is. He got what everyone said he was going to get but ONLY one team was willing to pay it. This wasn't some 10 team bidding war. Fine: Reinsdorf is cheap, just like every other team that didn't offer Machado
-
Machado signs with Padres 10/300
How many teams outbid Reinsdorf? So he's cheaper than the Padres.
-
Machado signs with Padres 10/300
He offered it. If Machado accepted, he would have paid it. Not sure what he can do. "Cheap" teams aren't offering $250 million for one free agent.

Sox were a serious contender for the best free agent in baseball. They were second. They got outbid by a fairly insane offer. Sorry, I don't buy your bs on this.

Machado signs with Padres 10/300
So basically you're telling me he's cheap because he wouldn't do ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING to get one player. Get real. lol. Change your username

Soxtalk is just special... ...the owner who offered to break every club record in spending by a huge margin is cheap. That's just dumb.

2018-19 NCAA Basketball thread
This draft is perceived as weak. Don't get me wrong, I think Ayo could stand to stay another year in Champaign, but experts seem to have him in the top 25.

He's a first round pick. He's likely gone.

Morrisey - If MLB isn’t careful, it will die by its own boring
I understand the concern about tanking ruining sports, but if the alternative is the ridiculous European Soccer model where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, I'll take some teams tanking. There are about ten football clubs worth anything anymore and almost every league is a two horse race.

Underwood gets two more seasons to figure this out. I'm not going to worry about losses in his second season with how good the underclassmen look

Strong smoke of Harper to the Phillies tomorrow
I'm hoping this is true as it would likely be the first domino of many

Anybody else already miss Hawk?
I might miss 1995 Hawk a little bit but Benetti is just leagues above 2017 Hawk. By the end you had to mute White Sox road games because Hawk was that bad. And Jason and Steve are already improving.

Good. The Bulls need to be horrible. That way they can get Zion or Barrett.
