Is anyone here going to see LCD Soundsystem when they come to Chicago? What show are you going to?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 07:44 AM) I saw it for the first time yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Nice addition to the MCU. I also think the Vulture is the best villain we've seen so far in this universe, IMO. For me, no one has come close to the Red Skull who is not only the best villain in the MCU but Hugo Weaving gave one of the better performances in the whole MCU

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 06:45 AM) I Redboxed Spider-Man: Homecoming. I have a few issues with the film. I'm sure that I'll have more, but I wasn't that excited about it, and Spider-Man has been my favorite Marvel character since I was a child.

Would anyone be willing to share the most recent article on Collins from the Athletic by James Fegan?

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 11:26 AM) Black Panther trailer looks...interesting? When I see Black Panther, I am going to see it in a Kaepernick jersey, in an African head-dress and I am going to see if I can have my sisters (or sistas) throw flower pedals down before my feet so I can walk on them on my way in and out of the theater. I'm going for that full black experience.

I hate that the Astros aren't a NL team anymore, they should be in the NL West and the Rockies should be an AL team.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 01:44 PM) Yeah I disagree for different reasons. One, I think draft history for the white sox that's useful begins with the draft allotments (2013?). But, I also think that Rodon is the only real example of us taking BPA anyway. The strategy of going underslot in the first really is only effective when you have the bigger 1-5 bonuses and would have a shot at the first group after the comps or throwing money at the final high schoolers worth a damn in the 3rd round. The sox drafted Rodon, he was also clearly BPA. Did we draft BPA with Burger? He fit our new type but I wouldn't say he was obvious BPA. With Collins? I don't think so either. But it's also because I don't really think BPA is an easy concept in the mlb draft. I think of these guys in tiers. 2012, that when that CBA came into effect and introduced the strict bonus pools

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 02:29 PM) It's all up to the front office. If they want to lose big one more year we'll lose big. Cause if they want to win there has to be a rebuilt bullpen and a significant closer acquired. Unless Nate is the man. Also if they want to win they would have to acquire a veteran starter to go with the young guys. And finally we need a catcher who can hit a bit. Without these things, losing batches of games is assured and no way they are going to sign a pitcher; no way are they going to sign a closer. I'd say a very similar year to this year, maybe identical record wise or 5-10 games worse. The bullpen is huge nowadays and ours reeks. I don't think that Hahn and co. are going to try to add pieces that will make the team more competitive, I think they'll be looking for guys that they can flip potential at the deadline. I agree that the pitching next year will be a problem next year but the offense should be more consistent next year.

Right now, I think that they'll be a 70 win team next year. Giolito, Lopez and Fulmer are due for some growing pains

I can't find the Marvel thread but it looks like Inhumans has been canceled. Did anyone see it in the theater?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 04:31 PM) As a baseball fan I feel for the Tiger's fans that have to watch such a bad team that will probably be worse next year. As a Sox fan I say f*** em. Ha Ha ! Good news is Shields has to face that Houston offense on what will be a warm humid evening. I really think Shields stands a very good chance of completely s***ting the bed. After tonight's game the Sox will have one more with Houston and three with KC. Meanwhile Detroit hosts the Twinkies for four games starting tomorrow. s***, f***ing Detroit just might snatch that #1 out from under the rest of the cellar dwellers. Pricks... f*** Detroit

Who's coaching the Bears next year? Jim Bob Cooter?

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 06:12 PM) REPO CODE hope Lucky is a good one Hopefully, he saw it with an audience before leaving

Tyson Ross (could be a potential reliever).

That game was so ugly that I started watching the Browns

Lineup: Anderson SS Moncada 2B Abreu 1B A. Garcia RF Davidson DH Saladino 3B W. Garcia LF Engel CF Brantly C Covey (0-5, 7.90 ERA, 1.72 WHIP, 7.88 FIP) The Bears also play today, in case you forgot

I love seeing Anderson and Moncada go 1-2 in the lineup that should happen like.... every game

I expect the Sox to have a similar record next year but they'll be a more exciting team.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 09:47 AM) So is he just going to copy the story format from one of the original films again? JJ can make whatever movie he wants, I doubt he comes back to do a remake of Return of the Jedi. I don't think The Force Awakens is a remake of A New Hope but it definitely does play with familiar Star Wars tropes and formula to tell its story. Now that he did the reboot already, I expect that he's going to do something original.

I'm going to say it again but Anderson and Moncada should bat 1-2 every game.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 03:18 PM) I've read where the Orioles will offer Manny Machado a big contract this off season. Baltimore has indicated that if he turns down their offer they will probably trade him. That being said, I hope the White Sox offer Garcia a long term contract. If he turns it down, trade him. I hope Garcia remains a member of the White Sox. After the White Sox sign Garcia I'm hoping they sign Addison Reed and JD Martinez to long term contracts. This doesn't seem like the Orioles MO.

Anderson and Moncada are huge disappointments. Ship them off while their value is still high.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 6, 2017 -> 12:54 PM) I'm in a 14 man PPR that is very competitive. It's a short bench league too. My running backs are Jordan Howard, Jay Ajayi, Doug Martin and Jacquizz Rodgers. So the latter three just went on bye with the hurricane. The free agents are Robert Turbin, Branden Oliver, Jerrick McKinnon, Kyle Juszyck, JR Richard & DeAndre Washington. Wtf do I do? You should look into trading Doug Martin, people are saying that Rodgers has a good chance to hold on to that job, plus he has a prior relationship with the coach there from their days in Atlanta. In that group, I would take Oliver or McKinnon

Would love to see TA finish the year strong.

I'm curious to see how Fulmer takes this experience, being around Cooper and Hasler everyday, and brings it into ST.
