This is the tweet I was expecting. Harper and the Phillies may be hot right now, but I have hard time believing no one else is involved anymore. I firmly believe the Sox are trying their hardest here.

He had a ton of posts before rep was a thing.

Just a few miles away from me... I'm still in shock and don't know what else to say. But I'm very, very sad.

teory...23 wetbutt...23 Coincidence? Perhaps... perhaps not...?

Exactly. At this point, I am excited for any final resolutions. Obviously, I'd be somewhat disappointed if it wasn't the Sox, but like everyone else around here it's all just gotten old to me. Plus, if Sox miss Harper they still have a shot at Manny.

Yeah, nothing concrete there. I think his guess was based upon the fact that the Giants are the last team to have any sort of public connection to Harper. Sox are in on this. I hope it's true his decision is coming today...

Looks like this thread need some traction. Is it possible a Harper decisions comes before a Machado decison!?

Fake insiders having conversations with each other about their fake inside information!? How much crazier can it get!? Maybe shack knew something we didnt when he wrote that article...

Will it end before Game of Thrones ends!?

I feel like Manny Machado is a concoction of our collective imaginations, created entirely to make us think we finally have a shot at a top FA. If Machado is so real, why isn't there real news about other teams besides althe harmless San Diego Padres being actually interested??? Only this fake news created be us. We created the Padres distraction to make it seem real but not threatening. Us White Sox fans, other fans can only look the other way and allow us to feed into this imaginative world. They just feel sorry for us. We've created insider personalities to feed into our imaginative world. raBBit, WSD, bucket, shack etc are all figments of our imaginations manifested by overly zealous people and "confirmed " by us to make us continue believing this world is real. Dan Clark, another figment. Created by us and subsequently destroyed by us. Hector Gomez, created by us. Ok, I'm done now. I need some sleep.

Yeah maybe we should just blow through page 666. This team doesn't need more bad juju. Although I now believe the odds of anything happening today are slim.

Shack incepts idea into twitter. Twitter incepts idea into Harper/Machado etc. ??? Profit

It's a leap. but definitely within the realm of possibility.

I am in class now I cant focus for shit, Dont Stop get it get it

This thread is gonna be awesome today. Too bad I have a huge project due tomorrow. It will take a TON of self control to avoid this thread for at least 30 minute chunks while working on the project.

Rick Hahn is that you?

Pull a Kane/Toews but with free agency instead, and sign them both to the exact same offer on the same day. If Boras really needs his win, give him 1m extra per year. Get it done. The low offer leaks make sense. Keep other teams off of the trail. If all of this is true, the Sox could truly be offering contracts worth 300 million or more. I have a hard time believing it all though. It seems like too much of a perfect world scenario, and as a Sox fan I am conditioned to expect the worst, and barely consider perfect world scenarios.

Excellent article, lot of fun to read. I hope it comes true like this. That would be downright amazing.

I'd assume the Sox are among the "finalists" here. Whether they get him or not is another thing. If I recall correctly, some of the actual respected insiders (or maybe just 1, bucket?) on this board were talking about Harper while we were all focused on Machado. Zigging when everyone thinks we are zagging. Correct me if I am wrong, however, because it has been some time since then and the posts are well buried in threads.

There must be some significance of the right shoe being number 1 and the left shoe being number 7. Manny #71 for the Sox confirmed.

Google says he's wearing #17 for the Sox.

Im from Batavia. Cheers man!

It's nice to have the smoke back again. I feel like a crackhead getting my fix again. via Imgflip Meme Generator

So, we let Manny opt out after 3 years and sign Lindor? Sounds good to me. /pipedream
