TheTruth05

I understand how annoying it is when the Sox are overlooked in national media but, to me at least, screw these lists they make. Any real baseball mind understands how special and rare that 05 White Sox team was. We will probably never see that performance again.

Baseball just became literally UNWATCHABLE!

great stuff as usual.

Although he can't blame all the hosts for 1 guys words, I can't say I disagree with him for breaking off the relationship with the station. What that guy said is unforgivable to a father.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 01:59 PM) OK, I opened this can of worms I suppose. For the record, our relationship with the Sox has, overall, been very good. We've been able to interview Rick Hahn, Jeremy Faber (Asst GM), Nick Hostetler (Scouting Director), Marco Paddy (Intl Director), Chris Getz (Dir of Player Dev) and others with the big club. We'd previously been one of just two blogs credentialed to SoxFest (the other was SSS). They've let us into the secure area of the back fields at Camelback. We have been credentialed at every affiliate (though that's more them than the Sox). But in this case, what Scott explained was that it was a problem of time and demand. The number of requests was such that they were afraid that outlets would not get to spend the time they wanted with the players, prospects and coaches during the 45 minute scrum if there were too many press there. So they had to find a way to limit it, and non-traditional media is lowest on the priority list. I don't necessarily agree with the way they did this, just reporting what the Sox told us. And I do get the logic, even if it isn't great. Scott did have effusive praise for FutureSox, FWIW. Thanks for the explanation, It's still BS since FS offers the best coverage to the most eyes of any Sox site available.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 01:05 PM) The thought is appreciated. I spoke via phone with Scott Reifort about it. Not going to splash all the details here in the open, but he did offer some help other ways that we will take advantage of. Can you share the org's reasoning as to why exclude a site like FS?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 22, 2018 -> 08:27 AM) However, the videos of Eagles fans destroying Philly win or lose will be worth it IMO. This is definitely looking at the brightside, you're right though

2 of the most annoying fanbases in sports are in the SB. Interest in this year's SB will be very very low for me.

I just don't see how someone can want to move away from the current design. Top 5 (1st in my biased opinion) uniform in baseball. I can understand wanting to see maybe something new but I think MLB/Majestic and soon Under Armour need to get better at holiday weekend/special weekend Jerseys kits. I think the ones they put out now are bad. Edit- Also as said earlier in this thread, please bring the sleeveless unis back. When the Sox are dominating the AL in a couple years we need those back in the mix.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 11:39 AM) I miss John Rooney Same my dude,same.

McDaniels to the Colts. Should be interesting to see what happens there if Luck isn't healthy. I think McDaniels will want to move on if he doesn't trust Luck's shoulder anymore

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 15, 2018 -> 10:38 AM) Oh and someone should add this - Bleeping Bleep **** those refs were 100% intent on calling everything they could as a PI on the Saints. My word. I wanted to Saints to win because I don't want any NFC North Rival even sniffing the Super Bowl but the trigger finger by the refs with the PI and holdings were a bit of karma from the benefit of calls NO got last week against the Panthers.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 14, 2018 -> 04:00 PM) They just aren’t...good. This is the sad truth.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 15, 2018 -> 08:34 AM) Half of Case Keenum's throws are just him throwing the ball in the air hoping his guys get it. I feel like he should have thrown like 3 or 4 picks yesterday. I don't know if he is just getting lucky or his WR are just making crazy plays. He definitely has a horseshoe up his a** with only one of those "hail mary" like throws being picked but he's been solid overall so I won't bash him completely. Credit where it's due.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 12, 2018 -> 06:20 AM) I actually prefer Arizona's d-coordinator. Arians supposedly urged Arizona F.O. to promote him to HC and not lose him. That's how much he values him. Plus he grew up a Bears fan. Fangio is really dragging this on. I think had alot of his possible destinations not close up he'd be gone.

That Panik contract ended up looking crappy. Maybe he'll play up to it in AZ but I doubt it. Duclair is a nice get,gimme youth and speed all day.

Davish to the Cubs? Musta missed how the Fukudome stuff went down.

I know this doesn't happen if the stupid rule didn't exist, but that last fake spike play from Pitt that lead to the INT was a god awful decision from Big Ben.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 01:57 PM) No one would give you an absolute, I'm sure Hahn wouldn't. I'm sure he'd tell you, as he has told the media, that they think it would be easier than going in cold, i.e. increase their chances and not guarantee it. This exactly, will anybody worry about giving up Fulmer or Cease if the 1 season around the Sox FO and clubhouse makes that lasting impression to give the Sox a bit of a nudge in the Machado sweepstakes? Sox can offer close to the highest bidder and sell him on the young talent he saw develop all season. If he can't see that he was never gonna sign here anyway but its worth the risk.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:51 AM) Meghan Montemurro‏Verified account @M_Montemurro 3m3 minutes ago More The Phillies traded RHP Nick Burdi, their Rule 5 draft pick, to the Pittsburgh Pirates for international slot money. Cmon Sox....

All sports drafts should move this quick. Love the Rule 5 pace.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:23 AM) Guy apparently can play a quality center field, might be a decent 4/5th outfielder? Would have rather taken a chance on a bullpen arm but it is what it is. We'll see what the Sox plan on doing with another 4th OF type in Tocci.

Well that's underwhelming.

MLB has a crappy video player. Wish i could watch the video stream from work.

I would do Lopez and Fulmer for Machado, I think having first dibs to pay him is easier than selling him on a up and coming team with no attachment to here.
