Bananarchy

Just swing. Jesus.

I like Delmonico

I have literally zero worries about Moncada. It's hard to teach that crap.

I literally just stopped crying

Greg put away the champagne after the contusion announcement

Rest this kid. Seriously. Wonder if they'll get an MRI for soft tissue.

Didn't look like a tear. Hopefully everything is okay

QUOTE (ron883 @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 02:17 PM) You need vets like Melky during rebuilds. Bad trade imo Even if that were true (it's not), we don't need Melky and Abreu And veteran locker room guys are cheap.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 11:48 PM) So instead of enjoying the "rebuild" as you suggest I do during the 2010-2016 timeframe, I, like you, instead had to endure the horrific baseball we saw these past several years before the baseball guys were finally able to convince the stubborn owner to move in the advisable direction of a rebuild. This is really an interesting development. A number of people on here (I was not one of them) cited JR's age as a reason we didn't rebuild. It sure looks like they were right. I guess it's not hard to believe an owner in his 70s doesn't want to rebuild.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 10:49 PM) I don't know why people say it doesn't matter. All seasons go down in the history books and if the rebuild doesn't result in excellence you better believe Jerry will remember the embarrassing records in 2017 and 2018. Better hope the lineup of Eloy in left, Robert in center, Rutherford in right; Burger at third, TA at short, Moncada at 2B and Abreu at first and Collins catcher and Avi DH to go with 5-6 outstanding arms equals 100 victory seasons. You forgot likely two more high first round picks.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 10:45 PM) the tank is on for sure.... However I'm not sure I've seem many teams in my life as bad as we are now.. It doesn't really matter.. but wow is this team horribad. White Sox teams? There's a baseball team this bad almost every year. Good organizations know when to blow it up and know what it takes to rebuild. Tons of them are doing it.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 10:17 PM) Moncada k'ing 30-40% of the time. Jimenez and Rutherford aren't out of this world hitters at corner outfield spots, making them 1.5-2.25 fWAR guys. Kopech never finds his control or gets hurt. Cease and Giolito already with one TJS. Most of the hurlers have concerns about durability, or pitchability, as starters. Robert doesn't live up to his hype. See article above... two consecutive high draft picks will likely mitigate some of that risk. That's why you stockpile. Odds of all of those things happening and two high first round picks busting starts to become VERY low.

QUOTE (New Era on South Side @ May 24, 2017 -> 06:35 AM) I recently listened to ESPN radio 1000 in the afternoon on the TuneIn radio app and noticed how bad some of those shows are from a learning standpoint compared to Bernstein and Goff. I do think that B&G gets old after some time and even to an extent the morning show on 670, but that might be because of the fact it is the Cubs flagship station and heading the Go Cubs Go song and World Series highlights gets old after several hours of listening. I do like the humor on the afternoon show on AM 1000 and their transition is better. I grew up with McNeil, Jurko and Harry and loved them, the show that was on before them in that slot with Lou Connelis (who is unbearable on Fox now) and also enjoyed McNeil and Spiegel as well. I prefer B&G to W&S, but I do occasionally get tired of the Cubbie laying it on thick attitude. Does Dave Wischnowsky‏ ever say anything intelligent?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 10:35 PM) Failed is harsh. 45 years of sub-par ownership is more realistic Agreed. Far be it for me to defend ownership because I sure as hell had been frustrated with them for the better part of a decade before recent events, but failed owners don't have championships. You can't take a real failed owner like Mikhail Prokhorov and compare him to Jerry Reinsdorf.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 10:34 PM) Do you want to name names ? He's just moaning. Cubs fans did it, stros fans did it. Look at them now. Sox fans are just like everyone else.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 10:32 PM) Yet we are all still here posting about them day after day, go figure. I was going to let his comment go, but I can't help it. Barring an horrible crime or racket or something like that, an organization that breaks an 88 year WS drought probably shouldn't be called "disgusting"

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 10:05 PM) It's really disgusting to have a team this bad. Team has won one game since Q left. All part of the plan.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 08:21 PM) I have never seen the White Sox this bad in my entire life and I'm weirdly excited about it. For me, it's because if what everyone says is true, Moncada is the future.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 08:18 PM) It is going to get so bad. As of July 9th they were 9 games "back" of the Phillies. They've already trimmed that to 4.5 in like 2 weeks worth of games. They are going to fly past the Phils for the worst record in the majors and never look back. This is the lineup we will look back at in 2020 and be like "remember that mess?"

Rizzo is a monster.

Avi would have dove . Would have looked awesome. And Bryant would be on third.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 11:06 PM) I think at some point we'll see the mound either lowered or moved back to combat the insane velocity that's come on over the past few years. Also, pitcher helmets
