Hawk is at home watching this game getting hammered.

Murphy...always been a solid contact bat.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 07:19 PM) Well this isn't an ideal start... Nope.

f***ing shift.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 06:57 PM) A good start by Shields would be a cool breeze. Just threw a pretty damn good 2 seamer.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) Jose Abreu. Eh I understood what he meant. The amateur spending.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 12:02 PM) The last straw for what? You making 100 posts a day on a White Sox board? That said, I hope they don't trade Tim Anderson, and highly doubt that they will. I'm pretty sure he doesn't post this much when things are going well like April.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 04:19 PM) Not really. Outside of Rollins, no one else the team was really relevant in 2010 in the bigs...maybe Melky. Also just so happened to be Melky's worst year of his career. Maybe Austin Jackson. Mat Latos was relevant at that time.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 02:35 PM) Will there be a separate thread for the draft when it is live on Thursday with the first post being updated for each selection? I will be busy around the time the draft starts and would like to follow along during the end of my work day/commute on the train. Bump

Honestly ok with the Sox going all in over next few months (in the off-season even to try next year). As long as the fallback plan was to rebuild if things look bad starting by trading guys like Eaton, Sale, Quintana, Robertson, whoever else we may acquire and half season rentals of Frazier and Lawrie to restock the farm.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 07:42 PM) FWIW Shuck is probably looking to draw a walk every time he's up to bat Must have taken a page out of Alex Avila's playbook.

If we only get one run out of all of this...

Wow 7 pitches...1 strike thrown.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 07:34 PM) Swung at ball 2. He would have walked by now not swinging.

I miss the Lawrie that took a lot of pitches and had good at bats.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 07:04 PM) AND IT'S f***ING WORKING! WELCOME TO CHICAGO, CARLOS GONZALEZ! Ok you definitely fooled me with this post haha

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 06:36 PM) He is scuffling a bit and knee is bothering him, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him go off In a series facing Mat Latos, James Shields, Miguel Gonzalez, I bet he's he's good for at least 2 homers this series.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 05:36 PM) If he opts out, he will have been awesome. True so let's hope for it!

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 04:21 PM) I'm digging online to try and find something right now. They played a soundbite on The Score a few minutes ago where Hahn specifically mentioned receiving compensation if Shields were to opt out. Compensation or compensation pick? There's a difference.

I'm completely ok with this as long as Saladino plays every day.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 04:07 PM) Thats what I thought, but I'd be pretty blown away if Rick said they would get a pick if he opts out and was wrong about that. Admittedly, I haven't seen or heard that quote - just read it here. As I stated above, I think we would receive compensation from the Padres if he opts out. Think that's what he meant.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) Would the Sox receive a draft pick if Shields were to opt? I know the answer with most players who are traded mid-season is no, but is there a loophole in the rules for players with an opt-out? I just assumed the answer would be no, but Hahn specifically saying they'd receive a compensation pick if Shields opts out and leaves has me wondering. There is no way the White Sox don't understand how the compensation rules work, right? That would be a pretty damning indictment on the organization if they don't know a basic rule most people on here are aware of. Maybe they would receive a PTNBL from the Padres or something as compensation since we are trading for 2.5 seasons of Shields and we would only get half a season.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 03:37 PM) I am at that life cycle as well, but the bigger change for me was, I don't let the losses bring you down. Winning baseball is fun and watching good teams is fun, but if they aren't, I got plenty of other things to do and enjoy. Kids, wife, and work are clearly the highest priorities and while I'm still passionate about sports, I'm not about to waste my time on something that doesn't entertain me. I figure when the kids get older and interest shifts, I figure I might find myself adjust as PTACT described. When I was a kid, I had all the time and could practically name every single MLB roster and every single move. Now, I still spit out a lot, but not near to the degree (far more competing priorities). Yeah I used to be able to name everyone on every roster lol playing games like MVP Baseball and The Show, watching ESPN and MLBN every day over the years used to help. Now I feel lost doing fantasy baseball.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 02:58 PM) I think it does change though. Prior to having a family, the sports world was important, as kids came along it fell back. As the kids got older and move out, there is less going on around the house and the sports world has begun to climb the daily ladder. Man this is how it feels for me. I am 25 and started my career with a really cool company in the past few months downtown and wanting to prove myself. It feels like I'm not as in to the game as I was despite being a huge baseball and Sox fan. It's crazy and sucks how it happens. Guess it's just a part of growing up.
