Zero interest in this concert but agree that the Cell should hold more concerts. Edit: also Chance sounds like a classy guy.

On the verge of winning $700...hope I don't blow it.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 23, 2016 -> 07:32 AM) And then the Sox would have a mediocre CF. Yes Eaton doesn't have ideal RF power but it's his best position ( probably would be good in left too). The gaping HR hole is the easiest to plug- DH. Get a real DH and OBP and defense from CF and the Sox are much better. No reason to downgrade the defense again. You make it sound so easy. Who is available in free agency that is a high power and high obp threat that the Sox can realistically sign? Before answering just remember that 6/$68 million is the biggest contraft they've given out.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 22, 2016 -> 10:45 AM) White Sox will most likely pick 11th or 12th. At least that takes them out of the discussion for QO free agents. Most likely. 7 of the final 10 games are against teams with worse records than the Sox have.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Sep 22, 2016 -> 07:28 AM) Looking at the thought bubble over Jerry Reinsdorf's head, I see: Paul Konerko - Manager Mark Buehrle - Pitching Coach Jim Thome - Hitting Coach A.J. Pierzynski - Bench Coach Aaron Rowand - Third Base Coach Willie Harris - First Base Coach Lmao yeah...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 22, 2016 -> 07:18 AM) The 10th pick only matters really if they are planning on going on and signing a front line free agent. I don't think that is going to happen. Yep. Knowing how they operate, they won't. I expect them to middle it and say "we are competing."

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 21, 2016 -> 11:45 PM) With the Sox loss today.....Sox now have the 11th pick. 3.5 GB of the Phillies for the 10th pick Too bad the Phillies didn't take another game from us last time we faced them. I would have hope that we could catch them but they seem to barely be in front of us all year.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 21, 2016 -> 07:09 PM) When he was going real good folks griped when he came out after 100 or so pitches. Pitch count means nothing. Sale wants to stay in the game and has said as much. I am not buying pitch counts or meaningless games. They all have the Winter to recoup Agreed.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 20, 2016 -> 10:52 PM) White Sox have the 12th pick. 0.5 GB of the Rockies for the 11th pick 4.5 GB of the Brewers/Phillies for the 10th/9th picks. 8 of the 11 remaining games are against teams worse than us. I think 12 is where we stay.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 21, 2016 -> 11:03 AM) I think they'll hire an Hispanic that speaks Spanish. Hopefully someone with major league coaching or minor league managing experience to a 3-year deal. Who that is, I don't know and I don't care. I just hope they hire someone who fits in with what they're trying to accomplish over the next couple years, and are willing to fire them after three years if they're not good. Sandy Alomar Jr.

QUOTE (MEANS @ Sep 20, 2016 -> 07:22 AM) Thought this thread was going to be about Robin going to Spring Training next year... My first glance at the title yesterday morning, I thought so too lol

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 20, 2016 -> 11:33 AM) Eaton has never struck me as a win at all costs player. But TWTW isn't the problem with this org anyway: Talent is. Ironically, Eaton has a lot of it. And you always try to get rid of him in your posts.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 20, 2016 -> 11:15 AM) Can't wait for Coach Thome or Rowand for the next 4 years. Most likely. But I'm hoping for Sandy Alomar Jr., Dave Martinez or just giving Renteria a shot.

Going to the championship next week. Guaranteed to win at least $500!

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Sep 17, 2016 -> 09:13 PM) 5 posts in a game thread before this one...must be a new record low around here. Saturday evening, end of the season, no chance at playoffs...yeah.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Sep 17, 2016 -> 07:48 PM) Right now he is a starter. Who will be replacing him so he can be "depth on our bench?" Sorry. I should have been more clear. The comment was for those arguing between Lawrie and Saladino as the starter.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Sep 17, 2016 -> 03:43 PM) I'm all for finding someone better. Who did you have in mind? What? Your comment makes no sense as a response to my comment lol you make it sound like I want to replace him when I do not. I'm saying it isn't a problem for him to be depth on our bench. Depth is important. Something we should know after the season we've had.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 17, 2016 -> 04:32 PM) Believe it or not, these September games DON'T matter this year. Why wasn't Robin pitching Sale 119 pitches every game earlier this year when we were still in the wild card hunt? He only does it once we're out of contention and his job is on the line. See above. And it doesn't matter if a bullpen guy gives it up. THE SEASON IS OVER. Winning meaningless games gives the ownership the perfect excuse to not sign impact players who have comp picks attached once again now that our pick isn't protected. Meh he has 6 days off between starts (unless they pitch him Wednesday). He'll be fine.

Guys...there's nothing wrong with him in a backup role.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 17, 2016 -> 11:24 AM) Exactly. That's why I was so annoyed by the signing. If we were really going for it, we wouldn't be starting a declining 37 year-old SS who doesn't provide anything above average aside from leadership skills. True.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 17, 2016 -> 07:34 AM) http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/30948/chris-sale I'm not sure 11 consecutive starts averaging between 110-115 pitches per outing will look like a good idea in 2017 if he struggles out of the gate. He's literally around the corner from having 3+ months off. He'll be fine. And the Sox have 2 days off next week. He should be in line to make a start Friday meaning he has 6 days off in between starts.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 17, 2016 -> 05:17 AM) All of our bullpen guys so if someone goes down next year we know the order with which AAA relievers should be recalled. No reason to pitch our starters 110+ pitches in September with the season lost. You're right. They should wrap him in bubble wrap and treat him like a p**** instead.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 03:01 PM) Perhaps. But I don't think we see anywhere near as big of a mass fan migration as the Cubs do whenever they do well. That's because its a larger fan base in general.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) Why do you bring up the Royals so much? I'm honestly curious, since this is a White Sox board, but in nearly every post you make, you're either comparing the White Sox to the Royals or bringing up the Royals in some other way. Why? It's insane lol he always does.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 10:46 AM) The only people I'd be happy for if they won it all are the really old people and diehard fans that waited their entire lives for this. The people that go to the games just to party and get drunk can f*** themselves. I'll be rooting for any team that plays them. Yeah the douchey frat boy type of fans can f*** themselves. I have friends that aren't bad to me about it so I don't care if they win for them.
