maloney.adam Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) If we lose out on Hendriks we should just pivot to re-sign Colome. There are other options as well such as Hand, and Rosenthal. Edited December 9, 2020 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnin' two Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 43 minutes ago, gusguyman said: I was on a cruise a few years back and a college-aged kid near the pool made the really poor life decision to try and shotgun one of those giant 25oz cans of Fosters. He made a big deal about it, got the crowd pumped, tons of people cheering or jeering him. I'll give him a bit of credit - he gave it a real shot. Probably made it about 2/3 of the way through, though perhaps that was just momentum carrying him over the edge of the cliff a la Wile E. Coyote. Regardless, suddenly he throws down the can and sprints across half the deck for the bathroom. If you have ever been on a cruise, you will know that doors (especially external doors) are often actually bulkheads - they have a 3-6 inch metal lip around the entire thing. Well, he apparently forgot or didn't notice this (he did have some pressing concerns that may have been distracting him), because he slams his foot on the bulkhead as he is sprinting into the bathroom. He does a gorgeous faceplant at full speed into the tile, then proceeds to vomit up about 17 oz of mostly undigested fosters (as well as who knows how many oz of other drinks) all over himself and the bathroom. He lost his lunch, his dignity, and, most importantly, his open bar wristband. The rest of the trip, he would get bronx cheers anytime he emerged on to the pool deck. This isn't really relevant to anything tbh, but I will never be able to see a giant Foster's can without remembering this modern day Icarus. That is completely awesome.

So we couldn't sign Joc because of money needed for Hendriks. What if we don't get Hendriks? Better circle back to Joc and no IDGAF that they already signed Eaton. Thats the FOs problem, not mine. Push him to LF and Eloy to DH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not waiting until Spring when we could just sign Colome or any of the other closers that are on the market.

Nothing sucks more than someone making a decently clever response, and all my brain returns is "I got nothing, you're on your own." It's how I imagine Adam Eaton freezes up when his kid asks him why he named him Maverick instead of Goose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hendriks truly has an interest in the White Sox, as we do him, then make him an offer and say this is it. If he doesn't want it then turn to one of the other closers available and focus on them. The Sox have an opportunity to be real good in 2021 and who wants to be a part of that? Get it done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
