More baseball news that just makes me feel old.

I totally agree with you that signing Bauer was the move to make (especially on a short term deal) and have believed that to be the case since the beginning of this offseason. He would make us the favorite to win the AL at least. Unfortunately, I also came to the realization early in this postseason that it was a move that the Sox were not going to make. Much like the situation with the 2 whales a couple of seasons ago, the typical big spenders seem to be out on Bauer and so the Sox could make a run at him if they wanted to. But although I had a roller coaster of emotions throughout that previous offseason that we would/would not be getting Harper or Machado....this offseason I am not on that same coaster because I am sure Bauer is not in play. But if your wishes or prayers are answered...I will be thrilled!!!

I'm confused. Was that "notJonHeyman" that tweeted this out?

But shouldn't it be?

I would say that Lucas is more than twice the pitcher Reynaldo is, but what do I know.

Always great to see the Sox grab a #1!!!

"The $$ will be spent"

Might I suggest that Mr. Hendriks not do a deep dive exploring game threads from the past couple of years...I liked to call him Alex "never a doubt" Colome but I was definitely in the minority....but as long as Liam does not blow any saves I'm sure he will be fine.

I have liked McKnight's past work with the Sox so good for him. I also was excited to find White Sox weekly on the radio last Saturday morning at 9:00 since that is when I run some weekend errands.

Any chance Brantley would take a 1 year deal?

Did anyone ask David Ross of his opinion of Jose Abreu's performance at Wrigley this past season?

It is a long forgotten fact that the "elite spin rate" was a sexual move popularized in the porn industry by John Holmes in the 1970's.

Perfect....that happens 9 times out of 10!!!

I look forward to missing every single one of Boog's broadcasts.

I won't be greedy....I'm fine with 3 World Series championships this decade. Maybe 4. Happy New Year Sox Fans!!!

Dawn Wells who played Maryann on Gilligan's Island has died at the age of 82. RIP Dawn!! I believe Tina Louise, who played Ginger, is the only cast member still alive. Tina is 86.

He's a very good pitcher who I would love to have on the Sox, especially on a short contract. Playoff, Pennant and World Series odds go way up in our favor with Bauer in the rotation. None of the arguments that he is a bad dude will sway my opinion. I have always thought he was the obvious play for the Sox this offseason to put a strangle hold on the AL Central.

That was one of those plays that I feel honored to have watched "live" and not as a highlight...I was speechless when I saw it...like Wise's catch in the perfect game....and Robert's unbelievable grab in the 9th inning this past season...Mercy!! Indeed!!!

Ah yes, for the man of steal...I see what you did there!!

If Bauer does indeed sign a 1 or 2 year deal and the Sox do not even try to pursue him, I will be pissed....and then quickly move on so I can get pissed about who they didn't sign for the bullpen, etc.

They brought back Eaton and hired La Russa....I'm not sure they are concerned about team chemistry all that much.

Even more than the homers, I seem to remember Lillibridge going on an unbelievable stretch of outstanding catches in the outfield in the later innings to save a couple of games.

Just looked it up and can't believe Brent has been out of the league for 7 years!! I feel old
