QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) So you guys have gone all season to this point without watching Sox games? I couldn't do it. I honestly have had few chances to watch, honestly. I took a month off and it was tough.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 03:38 PM) MLB.TV available for 39.99 rest of the year, I gave in and bought. Go Sox. Thanks for the update. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on that. The possibility of Moncada is tempting.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 03:58 PM) I'll go with no. I'm suspect of the coaching and development in the farm system. To my knowledge this is still the stagnant part of the organization. The farm development staff is so new you have no leg to stand on with this argument.

Thanks for being the best pitcher in baseball no one paid any attention to. Good luck on the North Side. I hope Avi launches one against you.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) Now the tank can truly commence. I doubt we hit number 1 overall, but dang, we're set for a nice pick next draft.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:45 PM) That would be bad publicity for the Sox No it would not be bad publicity. Come off it fathlum

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:13 PM) I think 2020 is when we hit .500 again. World Series if we hate .500 as a team har har. I get what you're saying

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:04 PM) Hahn coming on ESPN 1000 now. His response for trading with the Cubs is on the money. They're not going to take less to not trade with the Cubs

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:02 PM) Perhaps not quite top 25 talent, but if the Sox decide to move Abreu, they'll get a really nice return. The Yankees should most definitely be interested. At this point, I say f*** it - trade him. Tank hard the rest of 17 and 18, and be ready to put a respectable product on the field in 2019. Not really sure what Abreu accomplishes on this team at this point. I'm not sure I buy this, but I'll accept the "We like his leadership in mentoring the young guys"

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:57 AM) Sorry, had to have a giggle at that. Hopefully we'll be able to add a Jameson to that future OF. Fun for all the alcoholic's! I think the general consensus of the "Tank for Beer" movement is that "Seth Beer" is a placeholder for "best available for the white sox"

Cubs fans are struggling to accept the fact they are in Win-Now mode.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:42 AM) Maybe 2021. Hopefully we have a new owner by then. That's ridiculous. These prospects put us in a position to be competitive by 2020 with signs in 2018, 2019.

Finally we can put to bed this nonsense that the White Sox and Cubs won't make deals with each other.

I believe in Rick Hahn

Excellent trade.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 9, 2017 -> 01:04 PM) Some impressive history Lester just joined.. in a bad way. The twitter reaction to the Cubs twitter post about Lester was hilarious

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 07:48 AM) Music interests are so all over the place that this thread doesn't get the play it could. Makes sense. Anyway, the new Royal Blood album "How Did We Get So Dark" is f***ing awesome. These guys are currently carrying the "best new rock band" torch for me. Awesome jams, great vocals. Play the first song and you'll be hooked for the rest. This is their second official album. https://open.spotify.com/album/3Rz6kF8eGqrDOEteo5YsBj Saw them at Austin City Limits a couple of years ago. They were on at like 2 PM and when they got on stage the showing was small. After the first song, the place was packed. Out of the Black is one of my favorite songs and I have a shirt with the cover of their first album on it. I discovered them through Apple Music and the premier of Beats 1. Little Monster was like the third song ever played on the station. As far as Catfish and the Bottlemen, they're great. Probably better than Green Day.

I think when it comes to the MCU, this is easily my favorite of the solo films. It doesn't quite achieve the greatness of Spider-man 2 or The Dark Knight, but it is clearly the most fun, hilarious, and best acted of the solo MCU films

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 08:31 PM) Slightly? Stevens is a great coach. A lineup of Horford/Crowder/George/Hayward/Thomas with Smart dogging off the bench (and if they trade two future firsts and Brown for George they'd have Tatum too) is the biggest competition Lebron had since the 2010 Celtics. I actually like that team to beat the Cavs. You're discounting teams with young stars getting better. That's a bad assumption.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 07:48 PM) Instead of Celtics signing Hayward and trading for Butler or George, those two went West instead. You're telling me that didn't just make Lebron's path to the Finals easier? Slightly. Not a lot easier. It's possible a couple of teams in the East are going to be a lot better this year (Philadelphia and Milwaukee come to mind).

It's an All-Star game. Let it be what it is and allow ties.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 12:56 PM) I would say Sale has been better but there's a good argument for both guys. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...=&players=0 I prefer to watch Sale, but I still think Scherzer is probably better.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 09:43 PM) Pretty cool gif of the best pitcher in baseball https://twitter.com/OldComiskey/status/881236747820171265 That's not Max Scherzer

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 02:03 PM) Agreed. The 05 regime deserves credit for the WS title. Put them in the team Hall of Fame. But please Jerry and the group, SELL. Please sell. Our ballpark is no good (I know the popular opinion on here is it's great, but take away the food and what do you have except a monstrocity with a horrid upper deck). Aside from the park, we have a horrific front office. I agree with you. The supposed rebuild is not going to work. SELL, JERRY. Sell it to somebody with money to burn. Thank you. Complaining about the ballpark is a fruitless endeavor. You're never going to change that. Chicago won't fund another stadium for decades and the downsides associated with moving to the suburbs far outweigh the benefits.

Scherzer is definitely the best pitcher in baseball so far.
