Arrested Development season 5 on Netflix next year. Apparently, the first 3 seasons are being removed on the 26th of this month, so that sucks.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 19, 2017 -> 11:58 AM) 2 eps into the new season of Master of None and digging it so far. QUOTE (Brian @ May 19, 2017 -> 12:05 PM) I'm in the minority but I though the last two episodes of this season were pretty dull. I really disliked it but as the season progressed it started to grow on me. Disappointed to hear that season 3 won't be out for a long time.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 22, 2017 -> 06:21 PM) Shocking development Well that was unexpected. Luis Robber?

QUOTE (bmags @ May 22, 2017 -> 01:18 PM) White Sox confirmed it's Robert as in Robert Kennedy but, Badler today said the announcers mostly said it as Robert too, it just got confused when people assumed it was Robert due to it being of norman origin/latin/french pronunciation likely in Cuba. Ok, so next question. Pronounced "Lou-ees" or "Lou-ee"?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 22, 2017 -> 01:15 PM) The t is pronounced for everyone named Roberto. But when a Spanish word ends in a t, it's generally not pronounced

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ May 22, 2017 -> 12:52 PM) Why are other people pronouncing it like he's a Frenchman? I mean, Ro-bare is also the hispanic way of pronouncing it.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 22, 2017 -> 11:22 AM) ...don't you repeatedly say that we just need to SPEND SPEND SPEND instead of getting prospects? Maybe he saw the light!

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ May 22, 2017 -> 11:23 AM) I'm skeptical of the White Sox signing anyone to long term deals right now outside of the future core. How dare you? Avi is at the forefront of said core.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ May 22, 2017 -> 10:08 AM) It took an hour and ten minutes before S&P learned to pronounce his last name Chuck Garfien said it's pronounced like "Robert" in David Robertson, but others are saying "Ro-bare", so I still don't know how it's supposed to be pronounced.

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ May 22, 2017 -> 09:15 AM) I'd keep Avi playing for his next contract for as long as humanly possible. He seems like the type to mail it in once he gets a big deal. I would honestly say the exact opposite. There's not a harder worker on the team, and it's been that way since the day we traded for him.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ May 21, 2017 -> 02:36 PM) Pretty sure we all would do Robertson for Soto straight up Eh... he has a little more value than that. Especially since we're probably eating some of his contract. Maybe add someone like Severino to that as a sweetener.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 21, 2017 -> 11:14 AM) kinda surprised this wasn't posted anywhere.... from two days ago Chuck Garfien ✔ ‎@ChuckGarfien The Washington Nationals have a crush on the White Sox bullpen. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/865795125825466368 I mean, it's not news. It's just Garfien making a (probably accurate) joke.

Melky

QUOTE (spiderman @ May 21, 2017 -> 12:02 AM) I heard on another site that Keith Law wouldn't have him in the Top 100. Well, he's Keith Law.

QUOTE (spiderman @ May 20, 2017 -> 11:59 PM) I'm no expert, but given his contract, and his up/down performance, is Robertson really going to get the White Sox more than salary relief and maybe a mid level prospect? I don't doubt a team like Washington will trade for him, somebody will, but isn't he under contract for $10M this year this year and next season (obviously this season is probably down to $5M or so by the time July comes).....Is the contract not a big deal anymore given other contracts? I think that his being a reliever adds value instantly. I mean, even though he's only signed through 2018, relievers tend to get crazy hauls at trade deadlines compared to starters or position players. I think he could get a top-100 guy if the other team eats his salary, or if we pair him with a Swarzak/Kahnle or eat some money, a top-30 guy.

Willy just missed that grand slam

2B Mike Freeman pitching

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 09:08 PM) I'm sure it won't happen, but in order to get Robles in a deal, I really wouldn't mind giving up Robertson and Giolito or Dunning. With that said, don't think they will give up Robles for anyone (realistic) Imagine being, say, Dunning in that scenario. Traded from the Nats to us in December, finally is acclimated and feeling good in our system, and boom- you're being traded back to the Nats! It's unlikely, of course, but you never know.

*AVI GOT OUT ALERT*

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:28 PM) Anyone else think the Sox could go after Jose Israel Garcia as well since they have nothing to lose now?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 20, 2017 -> 03:30 PM) Kudos to you as I remember you mentioning that yesterday afternoon. I believe it was you that brought Robert's picture change up on instagram, right? You've done your homework no doubt. Thanks. Being young and tech-savvy has its perks, I guess.

Chuck Garfein just tweeted that it's pronounced Robert like David Robert-son. Isn't it "ro-bare"?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 03:17 PM) Kinda stunning that after all of this, the IG hat might have been a major clue I was really confident when he started following White Sox fan accounts yesterday.
