QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 09:14 PM) Why not play Crisp over Chisenhall, dude is just dreadful. I've thought the same.

I get it. Bring in a better defender in left and they weren't going to pull Lindor or Kipnis.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Awful...saw one strike entire at bat ? There were 3.

I think the Indians will get to their pen.

Please, Santana. Don't f*** up in LF.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 10:44 PM) Is Cespedes a good fielder? Or a butcher out there? He definitely would be a nice bat to go with Frazier and Abreu. That would mean three guys hitting 30 or more homers. That is returning us to our glory days in terms of way to win games. HRs in the Cell. I think because of the Cubs success we will sign him. I'm assuming he's a decent fielder (let me know pls). Cespedes in left, Eaton center and Melky right. Trade Avi for scraps or let Avi DH and pray he has his breakout season. Just think if Avi could hit 30 homers. That'd be FOUR guys whacking 30 HRs. Trade Lawrie and have a decent infield of Frazier, Anderson, Saladino and Abreu. Anderson might hit 15 homers and Saladino 10 to 15. Then we should make a major trade and acquire a catcher and reliever for some minor league studs. If we could get Cespedes, a catcher in a blockbuster trade, a reliever of note (a guaranteed good one to go with Robertson) we actually might contend. Why wouldn't this lineup win the Central?: Anderson, Eaton, Cespedes, Frazier, Abreu, Melky, Saladino, Avi (DH) and catcher. With a good manager he might make that work. Yes, a lot of slow slow baserunners, but two really fast ones at top of order. If you want to have one fast guy at the top and one at the bottom, put Melky second in the order and move down Anderson. Our pitching staff is good enough to contend IF we got that one RELIABLE lockdown guy (with heat) to go with Robertson. U figure between Jones and Jennings we have two arms we can flip flop. An easy way to fill a hole is just pay Cespedes a gazillion dollars and make that blockbuster trade for a good catcher and excellent reliever. JR gets his contender if we make these moves and pay some big bucks. No excuses. That is a wildcard team if it is managed correctly! Do it. Go Sox! It's just $$$. The alternative is to suck again. We won't do squat without SOMEBODY like Cespedes added to the team, also a catcher and a GOOD reliever (you guys are dreaming if you think our current pen will be good nuff; it won't). Anybody disagree?? Who? I could see us buying low on a guy like Derek Norris who is currently blocking Austin Hedges.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 07:57 AM) My dad was a little kid in 1945, and his cousin had just returned from the war and was visiting. His cousin took him to the WS at Wrigley. The bought tickets at the box office the day of the game. My dad has the trifecta, attended WS games at Wrigley, Comiskey, and USCF. I wonder how many people can say that right now. WOW. Not many at all I would imagine.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 07:00 AM) Most people watch programming on mobile devices and tablets than ever before. And i bet the bars are really f***ing packed for these games.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 12:48 AM) James Shields will be a 2017 All-Star after he is visited by Mark Buehrle, who imparts his wisdom unto him like a baseball version of Yoda. f*** it, bring back Buehrle to be a lefty reliever. We only have one.

I don't think there's even a chance Lawrie gets non-tendered. If anything, they would tender him and deal him for whatever they can get from a team that could use a 2B or 3B for a season.

MLBTR says Nats aren't likely to give Ramos a QO. I call bs on that one.

John Lamb dfa'd by Reds. Can't have enough arms right? Maybe Coop can fix him and make him a reliable lefty reliever?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 01:58 PM) Hope it goes to Eaton, predict it goes to Betts. More than one guy at an OF position can win.

Hopefully Bauer can go 4 handing the ball off to Salazar or Merritt for another 3-4 innings.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 06:17 PM) Chisenhall reminds me of AVI in RF Seriously. I wish Brantley was healthy.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 01:39 PM) I'm certainly guilty of it myself, but it's kind of sad that we have to re-live moments that happened 11 years ago. I wish the Sox were good. Yep. 05 Sox = 85 Bears

QUOTE (35thstreetswarm @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 01:17 PM) I can't think of a defensible argument for why the Tribe could win 3 straight against Boston's lineup, which may be the best in baseball. Except one - they did it. Good enough for me.

Was 14 watching with my dad and brother. Luckily, the following 2 days were parent teacher conference days because there was no way I was going to be able to concentrate.

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) LOL you just have everyone misunderstood today. Lol I used to be a really sarcastic person to the point where people around me don't know if I'm being serious or sarcastic. I'm always slightly misunderstood.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) He's not on their roster anymore. He was DFAed IIRC. And I'm aware. I just said it'd be awesome to see.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) Thats nice and all but I doubt it. The 05 Sox played game 2 in a miserable cold rain for pretty much the entire game I'm not saying I think it will be either and never implied that I think it will. Just posting what they would do.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) Just realized that Juan Uribe would be adding another ring to his collection if the Indians win. I kept thinking that yesterday. Woud be awesome to see him turn on a 103 mph fastball from Chapman.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 12:22 PM) I thought I heard last night that a post season game can't be partially played. It would be suspended and finished later if it couldn't be played fully. You can't have a 7 inning World Series game. Re-read what I said haha I said it would be suspended and finished the next day.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 12:05 PM) They arent postponing this game unless there is a torrential downpour with lightning. They said on the score if, say it went 6 and the rain was awful, it would be suspended to tomorrow and thats when they'd finish it.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 11:32 AM) I got a good one. If the game is rained out tonight Cubs fans will say the angels in heaven are crying for a championship. I hope it rains and everything gets pushed back a day. Kluber on full rest for game 4.
