RON IN 2019: Thinking of cheering for the Cubs next year
The Sox organization disappoints year after year. They have failed their fanbase once again. I don't see anything changing in the near future. They got lucky in 2005. Jerry won't pay. We won't see a winner. If I live in this city, I might as well cheer for a team with a great FO and an owner willing to spend. I know it is blasphemy, and possibly a spur of the moment overreaction, but as of now I will be cheering for the Cubs and attending their games. This was the final straw.

Yonder and Jay are going to get absolutely torched this year by the fans. The FO brought this on themselves though.

Machado signs with Padres 10/300
Man that would suck

Hansen hurt again?
Is that similar to an ACL tear, where they can do a physical exam and be fairly confident that it is torn? I may be wrong on the ACL aspect.

I don't want him any more. Send his sorry ass to Philly so he can deal with those abysmal fans.

Cheap White Sox gear
Thanks for the replies. Good idea with tj Maxx and Marshalls, DA. I forgot they carry that stuff. Unfortunately I stupidly went to the one Clark and Halsted. Had zero Sox gear.

I really hope Giolito can put it all together. Seems like a great dude and a great ambassador for the Sox.

Cheap White Sox gear
Any tips on where to buy some affordable White Sox gear? The prices can get pretty ridiculous from the typical retailers. I was going to purchase peavy44's onesie, but unfortunately his thread got locked. Any tips? Not too worried about quality. Hoping to get some fresh stuff for spring training.

Harper won't be able to hold Eloy's jock strap when he arrives.

Based on the Yonder and Jay deals, I think Machado is their main goal. Especially when you factor in the crazy OF depth the Sox have in the minors.

I hope the Cubs get Harper and the Sox get Machado. That would be a heck of a rivalry.

These arguments fall flat because they completely ignore the pressure he took off other pitchers. He was flat out dominant in the regular season. His postseason stats aren't as bad as people are describing them here. First off, ERA is a lousy stat for evaluating pitchers. If maddon didn't use and abuse Aroldis, those innings and they wear and tear would be put on other pitchers in that bullpen. Aroldis was absolutely a big piece in their regular season and post season.

Chapman was huge for them in the playoffs. I get that you hate the Cubs and all, but that shouldn't blind you from reality. The Cubs don't win without Chapman.
