Yeah, the Northeners just go around proclaiming Kings in the North with no real thought and then get surprised when Jon leveraged his crown for negotiation in a dire situation. Sansa is still playing the Game of Thrones when Jon's playing the Game of Life. Oh well, my guess is they get crushed by the Army of the Dead, retreat to Deepwood Motte or Iron Islands, the Glovers can then get crushed for being wimps on their way south and eventually they get to Kings Landing or somewhere down there where the Army of the Dead takes on the Golden Company and shoves them squarely up Cersei's behind. Should be interesting to see how it really plays out. Part of me feels like the living just lose because they never fully united against the dead. Poetic.

He fixed Rodon during the game yesterday.

Winter is here! ...again?

Nope, hes done.

Great, lets take out a pitcher who is throwing strikes for whatever we might get from the next guy.

Giolito wasn't great but it felt like a good 'learning experience' game. He battled. It may amount to nothing, but he did have it for a couple innings in this game.

Id bet on tarps now.

I think the umps know the rest of this game could be fucked so they want it to be official, at the very least.

Cycle is awesome, but even without it I think the Sox really should give this kid a chance in our OF. We pretty much know what we have with Engel and Palka. I hope they dont wait too long to give this kid his chance.

The money will be spent.

Soon as Eloy gets comfortable, that should be the end of Castillo in the 4-hole. But yeah, it still sucks anyway. He needs to start hitting now because otherwise the life or death of each rally started by the top falls on Abreu or Moncada. They can't do it all for us. Castillo kills rallies.

I really liked Carson's demeanor yesterday. He looked really calm, cool and collected. I don't think getting sent back down will bother him, but I am excited to see if this can translate to sustained success.

Gio's just gotta get that new delivery down 100%. Even though the KC game was great, it's clear he doesn't quite have it mastered yet. If he can master it, he looks to be a tough pitcher to deal with. Here's hoping yesterday's game was a great learning experience for Lucas in what it takes to repeat that delivery.

Moncada looks fucking awesome.

Greinke hit 2 home runs last night. Pretty sweet swing he's got there.

Lol that new bullpen rule is gonna be great. Yost changing his pitcher so much is annoying. I gotta work early!

Zack's eye is legit. He had a nice first at-bat against Bieber. Jury's still out on if he can stick at catcher, but I think his eye can play in the majors. Big year for him.

“I’m not going to put pressure on me,” Eloy said. “I’m just going to be Eloy. I’m going to play hard and win a couple of championships.” This guy is awesome. Do it, Eloy!

That inning was pretty fun. The catcher and ump b****ing at each other was pretty funny. You could visbily hear the 1b ump telling him he cannot go to the mound.

Anyone get a good look at that on tv? Crowd is letting TA have it today.. lol. Joyous game to be at.

Yeah. Im going to this game. Put me out of my misery already. Cant even get Eloy and Yoan on a prime time game?

Ill be at this one. Jimenez in, Robert in. Otherwise a pretty meh lineup. Adolfo on the bench, will be cool to see him.

Time has passed, and I am still pissed at the White Sox. How on earth did they supposedly have a framework in place for signing both? It would have had to be "get manny for 250" then throw enough at Harper to get him to sign. But they straight up gave up on Harper like a bunch of little b****es. If they thought they'd get both of these players for 500 million, they are delusional and have been fooling themselves for the 2 years leading up to this offseason. At the end of the day one sentiment still rings true for me. Fuck this franchise, mainly the ownership and front office.
