December 4, 201510 yr The only rationale I can come up with is the Sox looking at a Danks for Nova swap straight up. Gives the Sox 3 lefties and 2 eighties in the rotation and frees up money to make a splash for a FA position player? It's a stretch, I know but that's all I can come with off the top of my head.
December 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) Was interested until I saw who was reporting it Why do you say that? What do you have against Lemming?
December 4, 201510 yr Perhaps a value build and flip at deadline candidate. Probably a good idea considering the season's outlook.
December 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (kevo880 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) Why do you say that? What do you have against Lemming? I think his reporting is shady at best and his followers are bullies. Kind of reminds me of incarceratedbob.
December 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) I think his reporting is shady at best and his followers are bullies. Kind of reminds me of incarceratedbob. He got it from the George King story, so it wasn't a Lemming exclusive.

December 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 02:17 PM) My god. Haha its OK man. Friday's here.
December 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 02:16 PM) He got it from the George King story, so it wasn't a Lemming exclusive. Yeah just saw the NY Post story. King's a little bit iffy too. But certainly a better choice to listen to.
December 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 02:17 PM) Well, he is a longtime soxtalk member, so he isnt all that bad I'm well aware. But he and I have been through this before. So I wont delve too much into it.
December 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) I think his reporting is shady at best and his followers are bullies. Kind of reminds me of incarceratedbob. He didn't "report" it. He saw it from NY Times. Aaron Leming is a friend of mine and isn't shady at all. He has had to deal with s***heads quite frequently because he has a very good Bears source and people can't understand that. Edited December 4, 201510 yr by Y2JImmy0

Lemming has been the best / more accurate person out their when it comes to following the Bears (so not sure what is shady about it). Maybe you should spend less time getting your panties in a bundle when someone on twitter reports / mentions something. These people do the best that they can and the alternative is for none of the info to exist and just wait to hear what actually happens. I also hate how good people with inside info eventually stop sharing such info because people react / respond to them like you. Reality is the info is going to more often than not not come true and people should just understand that. I've been wrong on inside info and I've been right.

Apparently dissenting opinions are treated with hostility. So sorry I dont believe he's the best when it comes to the Bears. If you dont like that I dont know what to tell you. Maybe take your own advice. Edited December 4, 201510 yr by Baron

So sorry I don't believe he's the best when it comes to the Bears. If you dont like that I dont know what to tell you. Maybe take your own advice. Part of the problem? If you treat people who have inside info like a dick, what do you expect? It has nothing to do with this site, rather you consistent willingness to go bash media people on the twittersphere. If that gives you kicks, great, but I find it rather pathetic. I'm not certain what the dissenting opinion is related to? I'm purely talking about a track record you have of bashing the media and individuals with those sort of opinions as well as the track record to blast them on twitter where you can do it in a nameless / faceless fashion. It is pathetic. Their is no other possible conclusion to come to other than that. This is not debating whether X or Y player is a better fit or which scenario is more reasonable. And when it comes to members of this site, I'll protect the right of any poster with some legit inside info who shares that info and will take offense when people want to "bash" said individual. Said bashing just ruins it for everyone else.

You can not believe the information if you like, but going after the poster without knowing anything just serves to piss off anyone who does know what is up.

Name 5 media members I've gone out of my way on Twitter to bash Or if you cant do that name 5 regular people("with those sort of opinions") on Twitter I've gone out of my way to bash. Since it's so consistent that shouldnt be too hard. Edited December 4, 201510 yr by Baron
December 4, 201510 yr It seems like most Sox fans on Twitter are so sensitive and uptight about everything. A person on there blocked me because I called Nate Jones mediocre...lol.

December 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 03:11 PM) He's definitely better than mediocre. Injuries have killed him the past 2 seasons however. It was after he had a bad game IIRC. Either way, blocking me after I said my opinion that had literally nothing to do with them seemed childish.

December 4, 201510 yr Why are posters blocking each other? I don't get it. We are all fans of the same sports team. Shouldn't we all, ya know... get along and all that?

December 4, 201510 yr If you can't handle personal attacks and having your opinions ridiculed, maybe the internet isn't the place for you.
December 4, 201510 yr lets keep this thing civil. look at my posts.... lousy english even worst sentence structure. i am sorry but that is my racial side in me doing that no matter how hard i studied english. now my post were criticize alot until the mods / admin came and step it. the first point is, they will step in if really needed. trust me. second, if some posters can't counter a good post, yours, and attack you, know what they are doing. accept you did the right comment and btw, what does it matter in the big scheme .... a few more line and a new page is started and no one will remember... except you. don't let it eat at you.
