Jose Abreu

hallelujah

Option A: Sign Cespedes, acquire a dominant reliever, enjoy payoff Option B: SELL

welp. at least chapman didn't do well.

I read somewhere that Wintrust proposed "Wintrust Field at Comiskey Park" for the same amount of money. So I don't think GR was the only offer

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Oct 31, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) I ended up getting a PS4. Are there any games you guys recommend besides The Show and Madden? I typically like sports games, but am open to anything. Is there a good auto racing game? I'd like to play with my dad. NBA 2K, NHL (if you like hockey, I don't think you do but I'm not sure), Battlefield 1 (incredible so far), GTA V (must-have and probably cheap now too)

QUOTE (juddling @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 07:54 AM) I love how mentally fragile some of my Cub fan friends can be...... After last night's game I posted on FB "Don't worry my Cub fan friends....i remember back in 2005 when the Sox were down to the 'stros 2 games to 1 when they......oh wait.....Sox SWEPT when they went to the Series......" couple of my friends really went nuts........lol....haven't been called a douchebag in 10 years.....haha That in itself is quite the accomplishment

I watched the game at work (restaurant) and business was very slow. Only 6 people were there in the 9th inning, all Cubs fans watching the game. Needless to say, it was fun. Especially because one of them kept referring to pitchers as "throwers".

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) More than one guy at an OF position can win. QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) Nope. That used to be the case but not anymore. I see. Then why announce it as 3 LF/CF/RF and only put out press releases of the 3 at each position competing against each other? Why not just announce it as 9 outfielders?

Hope it goes to Eaton, predict it goes to Betts.

Please no to Jason Castro. There are better options out there. Give me Hundley or Kurt Suzuki (assuming Ramos/Wieters are gone)

So Cespedes is actually opting out. Eaton Cabrera Abreu Cespedes Frazier DH Anderson Saladino/Lawrie C #ALLIN

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 06:36 AM) Cubs columnists were complaining about balls/strikes in 2nd inning of game 1 on Twitter. Better never hear them whine about Harrellson again What's funny is that it was pretty consistent both ways. They would've lost no matter what the zone was yesterday.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 05:28 PM) The poor 1998 Chicago Fire will forever be disrespected No love for the 1981 and 1984 Chicago Sting?

https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/790955004635086849 Just funny, given that the Sox Twitter account is always professional and stays out of controversy. But here they are taking a direct shot at last night's ESPN graphic.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 09:13 AM) I had been playing The Show 12 on my ps3 for a while. The upgrade to 16 is quite a jump. It just sucks that I have to start over from scratch with my created player in RTTS. One advantage now is if you get MLBTS every year, you can continue your RTTS/franchise from the previous game on the new one.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 24, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) Are the graphics really that much better than BF4? It didn't scream way better to me, just marginally. The gameplay is pretty great, still getting used to the different weapons and such but had a ton of fun playing. The first 4 hours of playing my buddy and I were struggling hard against tanks but finally got some anti-tank weapons that helped immensely. The beginning was pretty much getting burned whenever a tank came by. The BF franchise still struggles with navigational controls in the waiting/pre-post game screens. Not being able to exit at points with the only option of closing the app (on PS4) should have been corrected in this version. Customization should be available offline (though I haven't dug around too much for that so I could've missed it). Just a lot of common sense things to improve the overall experience would be nice, figured there would've been enough feedback from BF4 to put light on that but maybe not. I do see a graphics increase between BF4/Hardline, especially in the campaign maps though. Yes, the gameplay takes some adjustment but is great once you get the hang of it. And agreed, my biggest complaint is the inability to edit classes while not in a game, or not being able to exit after 15 seconds of the postgame menu.

I wonder how college admissions counselors at prestigious schools really differentiate between applicants. Everyone has such a beefed up application nowadays.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Oct 24, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) For those of you that have a PS4, would you recommend it? I currently have a PS2 and am looking to upgrade. I'm a casual gamer that plays the likes of MLB The Show, Madden, NBA2K, etc. If I do go through with it, is playing online as good as it seems? Thanks. I'd get it. I play GTA, Madden, MLBTS, NBA2K, NHL, and Battlefield on it and I'd say it's worth the price. Online in sports games isn't really my thing, but GTA/Battlefield online are fun.

Battlefield 1 is incredible. Truly a step up from Battlefield 4 and Hardline in terms of graphics and gameplay. Also, the WW1 Campaign Mode is very cool.

I don't think Sale should be fired. He has done a fine job. We should either keep him or trade him.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 11:53 PM) Buy a White Sox World Champs t-shirt online right now to wear to work in case they do win it all. I am going to hear s*** all day about it and I want to be prepared. Wish there was a shirt that said 11-1 or something. Last year I almost custom made a shirt that said "2005>1908" when I was taking a lot of s*** from Cubs fans in August.

Cubs in 4. Outscore Cleveland 28-0. Baez hits .600/6/14 and gets WS MVP. /jinx?
