Arrieta looks like a legit steroid user.

I just don't get what all the commotion is about. If the team's performance on the field was better, no one would care about the name or the logo. Improving the team from a personnel standpoint is way more important than bickering in circles about this IMO.

The name/logo are stupid, but you guys are making it seem like they relocated the franchise. Chill.

I ended up getting a PS4. Are there any games you guys recommend besides The Show and Madden? I typically like sports games, but am open to anything. Is there a good auto racing game? I'd like to play with my dad.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 11:24 AM) But that one 3 run hr Avi game was great I was at that game. It was like 20 degrees that day but still awesome. Sale got the win too.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 10:38 PM) It pains me to say this but it must be said now. The Cubs are going to take the next three and win it all. This series wreaks of the nba finals. Cubs ain't losin' three at wrigley. Just ain't happening. It's goin' back to Cleveland where they will unleash the loch ness monster that is Schwarber and ride their superior pitching matchups to the title. don't want it to happen. but its gonna. Jesus f***ing Christ. You're unbearable.

Why are people paying hundreds of dollars to get into a bar? Wouldn't it be much better to throw a party at home with family and friends?

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 11:30 AM) I was thinking this morning that this whole WS thing might be a good thing. Expose the fan base for the tards that they are. They've been exposed a LONG time ago. The World Series doesn't change anything.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 11:03 PM) WISHLIST that puts us in postseason with a good manager like Renteria Cespedes (pay him whatever he wants, how bout 24 million per year for 3 years total of 72 mill) Get rid of Lawrie and play Saladino. acquire a GOOD catcher and GOOD reliever: in blockbuster trade; make it happen Mr. Hahn and we are a contender. Give up minor league talent for a good catcher and good reliever. A good catcher and a good reliever would make the Sox an 82 win team instead of 78. Rebuild. Rebuild. Rebuild. The Sox don't have enough assets to consistently make the playoffs on a yearly basis as of this moment.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 12:23 PM) In all reality if the Cubs win, the talk will turn to their dynasty. If they lose it will be all about how they are going to win next year. It isn't going to go away. The Cubs fans are like an STD. This is a spot on comparison.

It fascinates me that the Cubs can spend $184 million on a bum like Heyward and not miss a beat while the Sox only owe Shields approximately 1/7th of that and are struggling big time with payroll.

This goes into the "least surprising news of the day" file. The only thing that we can hope for is that some time off rejuvenated his arm a bit, but he'll most likely still be a bum either way.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 11:33 AM) I don't think Sox have the prospects to get Pollock unless they wanted Rodon honestly. I think they do. A package of Collins, Fulmer, Burdi, and Hansen could get Pollock, but it'd make no sense for the Sox to do that.

One of the only things I want for my birthday is for the Cubs to be eliminated.

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.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) I kept thinking that yesterday. Woud be awesome to see him turn on a 103 mph fastball from Chapman. He's not on their roster anymore. He was DFAed IIRC.

I still think Uribe's catch going in the stands is one of the best plays ever considering the situation.

The day before I turned 7. The years really fly by. My parents got me a White Sox World Series Champions winter hat that I still have to this day. The sentimental value of it is crazy.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 10:19 AM) Cleveland beat toronto on a bullpen day. If Salazar can give them 5 innings he will pitch in Wrigley where they may have to go to the pen anyway with the pitcher batting. If Salazar and Carraso were healthy this series goes heavily to the Indians. Miller neutralizes everyone as he will pitch at least one inning every game. Fixed.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Oct 24, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) Justifying the price is entirely up to you if you only play a few games. That said, the system is super easy to use compared to the PS3. Playing online is usually seamless if you have halfway decent internet. Cool, thanks for your input. I played it a couple times at a buddies house and I had a great time. How much extra is online generally? Is it a yearly thing or per month?

For those of you that have a PS4, would you recommend it? I currently have a PS2 and am looking to upgrade. I'm a casual gamer that plays the likes of MLB The Show, Madden, NBA2K, etc. If I do go through with it, is playing online as good as it seems? Thanks.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 06:54 PM) They will be dancing in the streets of chicago tonight. Keep it safe and have fun, Chicago. Will you bet your house on it?

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 02:04 PM) The only way the White Sox will get a new stadium is if it's built in Portland, Montreal, North Carolina, or (God forbid) Indiana. And if that northside team (whose name I'll never say on here) goes on a Yankees-like run, I wouldn't doubt if our White Sox were forced to leave Chicago. This is awesome. You hate them so much you won't even say their name.

QUOTE (Carpe Diem @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 02:43 PM) There is nothing wrong with "Guaranteed Rate Field" other than the location. The White Sox are blessed to play in a city that features one of the best skylines in the world and one of the biggest lakes in the world. WHY NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT SCENERY?!?! There is absolutely no excuse the White Sox not having a SF Giants like ballpark on the water facing the city. You want to stop being a second class organization? SHOW SOME VISION! I agree with this, but they ain't building another stadium. They should have just planned it better originally. Hell, they could've just rotated the stadium a bit in its current location and part of the skyline would be visible.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 09:09 AM) I hear you. Sorry about your friend. I would be happy for many of my cub friends also who don't annoy me and the little old lady who never seen a win. Bandwagon fans make it hard for me to be happy for them. Well said. My grandpa's best friend has been a Cubs fan for over 65 years. I'll be happy for people like him. The bandwagoners? Not so much.
