What is your full address? Trying to compare the weather by you to here in the city.

I think you can still do this without being called a condescending asshole. There are a number of posters that poke fun with others and get away with it. I mean this with respect Ray Ray - you just have a way with words that sometimes makes you come off as a pompous, condescending asshole, lol. I think you have gotten better about it for sure, but your reputation from when you joined has stuck in people's minds. You came into soxtalk quite hot with a smarter-than-thou attitude and would call everybody "pal" in condescending fashion.

How do we limit Rodon's innings to make him effective in the playoffs?

Jake Lamb! Billy Hamilton! Leury Garcia! TLR!

Do you think they will need to limit Rodon's innings based on how few he has picked the past 2 years combined? It seems like they'll have to. Maybe we get some spot start by Lambert when healthy... Who knows.

Those 1990's cleveland lineups were absurd... Always my go to in videogames.

Mancini's stats are crap. I get he overcame cancer, but cmon. Rodon deserves this.

He isn't exactly a spring chicken anymore.

Cmon, you think TLR is taking him out at a mere 96 pitches?

Chances that TLR leaves Rodon in to finish the game?

Bruce Bochy

Vaughn first HR here

I remember when I was really young and just started loving baseball. Royce Clayton was my first "hated" player. My young meatball self hated him.

To be fair, I've never seen elrockin or poppysox criticize anybody in the organization. In fact, those 2 guys might be related.

Miggy has been annoying as hell so far. I hope they plunk his ass.

@Chicago White Sox our guy Collins!

How does the ump miss that changeup?

Was Stone being sarcastic?

Obviously after the shortened season last year, this will be an issue for all teams. However, the Sox have 2 very important pitchers that have very few innings pitched the last 2 years - Rodon and Kopech. Rodon will definitely be needed as a starter. Kopech may have to start as well. On top of Rodon limited innings pitched recently, he is a FA next year and has Boras as an agent. Boras made a stink about Matt Harvey's innings pitched after his TJS. How will the Sox limit their innings to ensure they are able to pitch successfully in the playoffs? Kopech is an easier case, since he is primarily in the bullpen. Rodon is needed in the starting rotation during the regular season. It will be harder to limit his innings. Do they skip some start with him? Do they just say F it and use and abuse his arm?

So uh, is Rodon our ace?

When did Miggy become so damn crochety? Hit him with some chin music.

Would facial hair, perhaps a mustache help?

Interesting reminiscing about how great chat was while commenting on how game threads are reactionary trash, when in all likelihood chat was more reactionary and wouldn't fly now a days.

I was never part of chat. Would the things said in chat fly in a message board today?

1000%.
