  1. No it doesn't. Speak for yourself. I just hit 40 and I can't remember a time in my life where things have been this easy to recollect. Stop writing as if you speak for "fans" or "40 year olds"... You don't. If the Sox make a play for "Upton"...will you know which one before you post a lecture?
  2. Wrong guy, dude..... NM...I see it's been pointed out.
  3. Good for him. Rather it not be the Sox paying that. They have NO CHANCE competing in the next...at LEAST 2 YEARS... That $ goes a long way building if you're being smart.
  4. This team needs to be blown up. Trade Q and get BIG offensive pieces. If that doesn't work, dangle Sale. We need to score runs to win games - this team is completely incapable of that. The fact that Q isn't regarded like Kershaw is...is your evidence. I'd argue he's better. And that's not even our BEST chip. Fire everyone. GET THAT FARM BUILT UP with smart picks (we've been decent at this lately in upper rounds), and dump the trash (Alexei, Danks, LaRoche).... Sometimes you have to pay someone to get the garbage off your lawn... So do it. It's not going to kill Jerry to send a few bucks to get rid of ineptitude and life-sucking death. Get a mgr...even look at Ozzie. When he's not being a tool; he happens to be an excellent mgr. So many things wrong with this team....
  5. Why would the White Sox care about Rule 5 in 2016?
  6. This. Why pay Alexei $10M for 1 year when he doesn't factor into future plans. Let him go...He can secure $15M or more over the course of several years with another club. He's just not a fit anymore with $ being mismanaged on guys like LaRoche and Robertson. Neither are what we need now... Need youth, hitting, OBP, defense more than anything...protect our pitching. Alexei doesn't help with this at all! Team management is hopefully on the right track now. And by the way - Some of you guys needs to stop sucking Hahn's schwantz. He's not proven d*ck as far as I can see. For every Abreu, I see a LaRoache, Beckham Part II, Bonafacio, Robertson (good deal, bad timing), and also missed opportunities.... This team is FAR from being good. It's a damn miracle they weren't dead last (a 2 win accomplishment, BTW).
  7. I'd get on another plane in San Juan and then keep going. San Juan is like is staying in downtown Honolulu. There are so many better places to visit in the Caribbean than PR. A few I've personally been to: Antigua Aruba Jamaica (Twice - I never thought I'd like but did) St. Lucia Barbados (Bring $ - Lots) Anguilla - (See Above) That's it. Oh, I've been to the Dominican Republic too (DR) but I wouldn't recommend it. Place is a complete dump.
  8. So he planned all that? Was that the note next to his body and missing gun: "I'm Dead. It was 2 white guys and a black. Notice my missing gun!" GTFO. In my area, we're trying to figure out the same thing. http://parsippanyfocus.com/2015/05/28/brea...ommits-suicide/ Of course, not Illinois, so not a complete clusterf*ck. Hard to find any news. Rich was a 19 year veteran, a Seargent, dead, apparent suicide.... beautiful wife (personal friend of wife; didn't really know the cop) and kids.... Maybe...don't be so judgmental, ok? Who knows what is going on with these guys....
  9. I never got the Shapiro fascination either... He's not AL Central anymore, so....BFD. AA interests me though. He's REALLY slick. I'd love to hear any ideas he might have on how to fix our system.
  10. Sign Cespedes. That's it. DO NOT trade any pitchers...DFA LaRoche and eat the $. It's not like it's Bobby Bonilla... Cut him, move on. I want to see what Avi can do surrounded with a healthy Eaton and Cespedes. I think....he'd be good. DH Melky. That's it. Simple...Work hard - Be ready in April. Our pitching is fantastic. Sale, Q, Rodon, (who cares - fight to the death...), Johnson. A move for an SP would be ok as long as all of our existing SPs are safe. Get rid of Micah. And Danks.
  11. Looks like a guy swimming...in a pool of suck.
  12. LOL... I love how Greg is so honest. Also, QFT.
  13. Well..yeah..there..is. He's done MLB time and he's been sent down. He doesn't hit (when up) and his defense is atrocious. He pretty much sucks. AT EVERYTHING - he's supposed to be good at. Anyway - Here's MY PLAN: Sign Cespedes (4 years at least) Don't trade any of our pitchers Give Avi One more Chance (Ces,Eat,Avi) LaRoche (Who? - DFA...eat the $) Let our SP pitch. LET THEM PITCH!!!! That's it. I want Cespedes IN and LaRoche OUT of my life. 5-10 WINS...right there. 2017...different plan.
  14. Quintana is untouchable. Where do you get that from? *Edit - I'm editing my OWN post. He is more valuable (arguably) than Sale. THAT is how good Q is.
  15. 3 years ago...I'd have loved him. After ALL the NL signing FAIL.. I don't want a single thing from the NL. Nothing. I'm with kite on this. (And that includes Heyward). Puig is the only one that is interesting to me.... I think Hahn could get Puig AND Cespedes (he's more AL than NL) if he's got any brains in his damn head....
