Price rising for Sale and Q
I don't understand why some non-Sox fans think that trading for Quintana would be much easier than trading for Sale. To me, Q is more consistent and controlled for an extra year. I still think Sale would get a better return, but Q wouldn't be that far behind. He's VERY undervalued.

NLCS: Cubs vs Dodgers
LA has to go to Kershaw tomorrow. They have to. It's an automatic loss if Maeda pitches.

NLCS: Cubs vs Dodgers
Kaplan is the biggest joke in Chicago sports media. He's literally a fan that has his own show.

NLCS: Cubs vs Dodgers
I'd love to see their dumb fans panic if they lose again tonight. If they do lose against Urias, it's over for them IMO. They can't beat Kershaw normally, but they have absolutely no chance if half their offense is ice cold.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 01:45 PM) anthony fenech @anthonyfenech 1h1 hour ago Avila's 48 minutes, paraphrased: Tigers will try to get younger and leaner in payroll and it's his hope they will compete in 2017. lol. Good luck with that.

NLCS: Cubs vs Dodgers
QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 12:11 PM) It's Twitter, and people act like a team account is run by the GM, coaches and owner. Twitter should be a place where fans can communicate with the team, and be an outlet for you. Not just a promotional tool to push tickets and updates. I guess I just expect them to act a certain way since no other team does what they do in regards to subtle trolling. They can talk s*** now, because they won't be able to in a couple days.

NLCS: Cubs vs Dodgers
QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 12:07 PM) I hate it when people have fun at their jobs. There's a big difference between "having fun" and "being a total ass to everyone", IMO. I don't mind an occasional roast but they do it so often for a professional team.

The Cubs Twitter account is so unprofessional. They take digs at other teams/players that are completely unnecessary.

Price rising for Sale and Q
QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 07:08 AM) A deal has to at least include one of Benintendi/JBJ (Betts I'd imagine is untouchable), one of Moncada/Devers and Eduardo Rodriguez. And then likely 2 of Kopech, Johnson and Groome. I'd be happy with Benintendi/Moncada/Rodriguez/Kopech/Groome but I'd think the Red Sox wouldn't do that.

White Sox Coaching Staff Changes
I'm heartbroken. McEwing was my favorite 3rd base coach since Jeff Cox.

Price rising for Sale and Q
QUOTE (SCCWS @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 06:16 PM) Boston definitely needs another arm or two in the bullpen. But there top bullpen need is a lefty since they only have one They have 3 (Ross, Abad, and Scott), but I'd happily give them Dan Jennings if they're willing to overpay for him.

This Date In Sox History Historic Audio...
QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 10:03 AM) A little out of order so I apologize. It is October 7, 2005, the Sox are in Boston and Orlando Hernandez throws perhaps the single most significant inning in Sox post season history as he gets out of a bases loaded, no out jam to help preserve the Sox lead. They'd win the game, sweep the Red Sox in the A.L.D.S. and move on to face the Angels. We've got the audio AND video. Chris berman is the announcer. Courtesy: ESPN2. http://www.chicagonow.com/soxnet/2016/10/t...es-masterpiece/ Mark I get goosebumps watching/listening to this. Every single time.

Automobile Thread
I drive a 2000 Acura Integra with 175,000+ miles on it. Those cars last forever. It's definitely a good first car for me.

Price rising for Sale and Q
QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 12:02 PM) I agree with you. And it's nutty that people think that's not enough. None of those guys are established. It's hard to trade the second best left handed pitcher on the planet who's on an incredibly cost effective deal and a serviceable outfielder for unknowns.

NLCS: Cubs vs Dodgers
Hendricks has been a revelation but Arrieta and Lester ain't getting any younger or cheaper. They'll need more pitching.

The 90s and 00s Sox were basically the Braves of the same span
Was the '03 team really that good? I didn't follow baseball then.

Jerry Sands elects free agency
I liked Jerry. He wasn't very good, but still. Wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Price rising for Sale and Q
QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 11:52 AM) Sale would look reeeeeaaaaalllll good in a Cubbie uniform. Perfect for a back-to-back championship run after they win the whole thing this year!! Ok...then they'd have to give up Schwarber, Baez, Contreras, Almora, and Jimenez just to get the Sox interested.

NLDS: Giants vs. Evil Empire
I'm thinking about last night. The Giants obviously don't have a closer, so why didn't they go to Samardzija in the 9th? Yes, I know he got lit up in Game 2, but his stuff is most likely much better in 1 inning at a time scenarios and he wasn't going to pitch in Game 5 either. All I know is that a revolving door of s***ty relievers isn't going to get it done against the Cubs. I bet the Giants wish they had traded for a closer.

NLDS: Giants vs. Evil Empire
The Cubs definitely aren't as good as people thought they would be. I assumed they'd throttle the Giants, and that didn't happen. I think they are definitely vulnerable if they have to go up against LA or Toronto.

I really don't understand the JBJ love. Give me Benintendi instead.

Deadpool has to be a closet Cubs fan. I can't think of any other reason why he'd be such a pretentious douche to everyone if he wasn't a Cubs fan.

2017 MLB DRAFT
QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 4, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) The Sox have the top pick in the 2017 MLB Draft after finishing the season with a record of 78-84. The last ten players picked with the 12th overall pick: 2016: Jason Groome 2015: Josh Naylor 2014: Kodi Medeiros 2013: DJ Peterson 2012: Gavin Cecchini 2011: Taylor Jungmann 2010: Yasmani Grandal 2009: Aaron Crow 2008: Jemile Weeks 2007: Matt Dominguez This list doesn't look too good, but you never know. Sale was picked 13th after all. Hopefully the Sox target a bat with their first pick if at all possible.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:25 AM) Why would people be pissed off that you are wearing a Sox shirt? Uh...because everyone else around here are Cubs fans are wearing Cubs stuff. I'm like one of 3 or 4 Sox fans that I know of in my school. I don't really care. I have and always will wear Sox stuff.
