March 16, 20179 yr I still like Deadspin and actually find this funny, but it appears that Deadspin is straight trolling the White Sox for some reason right now. I don't know who Tim Marchman is, but it seems to be his mission.

March 16, 20179 yr I really don't see the writer as trolling the Sox. He's just bluntly telling it like it is.
March 16, 20179 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 15, 2017 -> 09:04 PM) Tim is actually a pretty hardcore Sox fan. However, not really sure what the angle is here with Deadspin. Trolling, joking, etc. "Seriously" covering stories about this s*** show of a franchise
March 16, 20179 yr deadspin has been up and down since Leitch left, it's OK now imo. That said, this is poking fun, not trolling.
March 16, 20179 yr Marchman heavily criticized the idea of trading Sale and Eaton. He's just butz hurt about the team being perpetually adrift.

I read it overt an hour ago half sleep. I just re-read it based on your comments and it's amazing lol

March 16, 20179 yr QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 09:09 AM) This is what everyone wanted. This direction is what I wanted but it's not complete yet so they can still mess it up. If Q/Robo/Frazier/Melky/Any scrap-heap reclamation/ are still on the team in August 2017 the franchise is still a joke and will be until JR no longer runs the show. No more half in half out bulls***, either blow the whole thing up and rebuild or have a $250m payroll and go for it. Either way just pick a side.
March 17, 20179 yr Marchman is hilarious and I hope he keeps this up all season. I've followed him both on Deadspin and Twitter for a good while...he's definitely a hardcore Sox fan.
March 17, 20179 yr The writer is hilarious...he just uses facts and puts them in such a way that I just roll laughing.
April 11, 20178 yr Author At least Marchman can throw just as much shade on the Cubs, too. http://deadspin.com/cubs-celebrate-first-c...dium=socialflow
April 11, 20178 yr QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 03:09 PM) This is what everyone wanted. Not me. I don't trust draft picks. I prefer the spend, spend, spend method to go with a few homegrown talents. Sox deserve to be mocked by deadspin all season. This team is built to lose and lose big. BTW if Robertson has a few good outings and they are serious about a rebuild, they should dump him ASAP for prospects to somebody desperate for relievers, cough cough the Royals. Ditto Q. He had a decent performance last game. Trade him now to somebody desperate for a starter if you are serious about a rebuild. No need to wait.

April 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (thedoctor @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 06:35 PM) looks like the sox are on to marchman He's basically become Deadspin's White Sox beat writer, no matter how insignificant the news he writes a story about it. He wrote an article about the Pelfrey signing.
