Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 08:10 AM) Trading Eaton would be a horrible mistake. He was the second best hitter on the team last year. Yup. Trading from our weaknesses (hitting) would be foolish. Who knows how bad this offense would've been if he didn't bounce back after that bad April. He ended with the 2nd most home runs and the 2nd highest average on the team (14/.287), with Abreu being #1.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 07:02 AM) Nikola? Butler?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 07:28 AM) Sure you can. Chris Sale gave up more runs than Eric Johnson. I'd take Chris Sale. There are at least a couple pitchers per team that were worse than Samarjdzija. That would make up dozens. Maybe that's because Erik Johnson made 6 starts and did not qualify as an MLB pitcher in 2015? There are definitely not 2+ pitchers per team who were worse than Samardzija.

If they really want to trade him to free up room for Trayce, then our FO has serious issues.

Reporter: Daniel Murphy, you just won NLCS MVP! What are you gonna do now???!!! Murphy: roids

QUOTE (Ballz-n-Strikes @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 11:12 PM) Dozens...?? That were #1s like him on the team he came from at the start of last year? Ok - Go ahead...list them. "Dozens" he says... That is 24 minimum. This outta be good. Yeah, didn't Samardzija lead the league in total runs allowed...? That alone screams "you can't name 24 pitchers who are worse than me"

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 11:35 PM) Strongly disagree. Last year their bench was awful, this year it's pretty nice. With the problems the Bulls will have defensively, I actually like the Heat and Bucks more. Just for the record, keeping Noah at C would still equal the same defensive problems, that guy is done. Dragic Wade Deng Bosh Whiteside Green McRoberts Winslow Anderson Chalmers Bucks are really long defensively and they use their defense to create their offense. They kinda remind me of the 90s Bulls teams in terms of length To your last sentence, yes, I like the Bucks too. But come on... that Heat bench is not good at all. Chalmers is trash, Birdman is bad, Winslow is unproven, McRoberts is ok, Green is ok... not even comparable to Brooks/Moore/McDermott/Gibson/Noah. The Bulls, barring major injuries, will definitely be a top-4 seed.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) I would group the Heat with the Bulls. McRoberts and Bosh back along with a full offseason with guys like Whiteside and Dragic. Justice Winslow was a steal also. I think the Heat will be pretty good, but their bench is awful compared to ours and Cleveland's.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) Google the word sweep and look at the first image.

Schwarber is 100% a future DH and I still can't believe that anyone would disagree.

It would be so fitting if the Cubs are eliminated from the playoffs on the day that they win the fictional World Series

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) Lucas Duda homers today. And Murphy doesn't. Bet those home run props nice

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 06:25 PM) Are the Bulls even Top 4 in the East anymore? so many up and coming teams. Yeah, they definitely are... Cavs ---drop off--- Bulls ---steep drop off--- Heat Wizards Bucks/Raptors/Hawks

Hoiberg says Mirotic and Gasol will be starters this season. Noah and Gibson to come off the bench.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 11:21 AM) The White Sox have one strength in their pitching. They will have Shoeless Joe Jackson/Comiskey Family Peace Day before they'll shell out double Abreu's contract for a pitcher who will likely decline in his 30s from all the wear and tear. Not to mention Greinke only had one really great season in the AL, he was very good but not great for most of his Royals career so I would be incredibly hesitant. And not to mention Greinke hates our mound and us, so he'd never sign with us.

Cage The Elephant announced that their new album will be out in December

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 07:31 AM) And if they don't end up a top 4 seed, their pet project should be fired after year 1. Well, garpax should be fired too but that won't happen. Garpax should really be fired (or at least one of them) if we go through another season of 48-60 wins but not even an ECF appearance. This team needs a trade (big man for guard/wing) but just won't do it. Look at the Cavs and their acquisitions of Smith, Mozgov, Shumpert, etc. ... midseason trades can help and they would help our issue with having too many bigs competing for minutes.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 12:26 AM) How could anybody tweet that? I guarantee you if you send the link to Yahoo they'll write a story about the idiot. The media loves outing morons who tweet weird s***. Yeah, he deleted it and made his Twitter private, so now it's like nothing ever happened...

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 11:00 PM) Wow you actually know the person? I recommend you not associate with him ever again. Oh no, I'm not friends with him and if I were, I'd never talk to him after this. He's known as a douche. People from New York are responding to him now

I know the person who said it, and let's just say he's not the smartest guy around... but still, it crossed the line. The tweet I linked to was a friend of mine replying to it

Cubs fan: "New York deserved 9/11" What a f***ing idiot.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) Rabbit called it right you are a 100% troll! I don't think Rabbit was "calling" it, I think he was stating it.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 07:15 PM) Deflate this crowd! Is there a Tom Brady in the house?

Jeff Samardzija Has No Plans To Re-Sign With White Sox

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 06:08 PM) That should be it's own thread. No reason to bury that. Will do
