QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 02:32 PM) The guy took a deal here rather than elsewhere because he looked at our team and said "It's so bad, this is the one real chance I have to start" But don't worry Lawrie said today we have World Series talent 100%!! Aside from this, I think this deal is meh. I'd rather see Sanchez/Saladino battle it out for starting SS and the loser getting super utility role. I personally think Sanchez at age 23/24 is a better option than Rollins at age 37 or whatever he is. Clubhouse presence? Sure okay. Whatever. We've won the offseason of the clubhouse guys. Cant wait. If Sanchez wasn't/isn't going to be our supersub then IMO we should have spent the $3/4mm and got Uribe to do so. He could have been the clubhouse guy who plays a bunch of infield positions too. If Rollins makes the team, whatever his contract is- is probably close to Uribe's with incentives, etc. Maybe I'm just down about this team this year, but this is the least excited I've been as a Sox fan in a while. Wait, you joined this site in 2014 and chose BrianAnderson as your name?

What was the funny part?

Was't it reported that both Gordon & Cespedes turned down larger offers (not necessarily from the White Sox)??

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 16, 2016 -> 11:06 PM) What two things does Joe Crede, Dayan Viciedo, Andruw Jones and Carlos Rodon have in common? Who are four people who have never been in my kitchen?

Sounds right.

For it's one, Two, Three strikes you're out At the old ball game

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Feb 12, 2016 -> 12:04 AM) I would also love to know how this site was created and by who. Seems like it would be a cool story and I am curious how the board was during the 05 season. I am glad I found this board, it has been a lot of fun to read everyone's insight on baseball and a bunch of other stuff. I have also received a lot of help with information about Chicago when I first started visiting on my own. Also was able to find someone to take pictures of when I asked my fiancee to marry me in Chicago with the help of IlliniKrush (Brian, I still owe you!). Received some tickets in exchange for a promotion going on at the game I was in town for (thanks again, HickoryHuskers). There are some great people on this site and to me this isn't just a White Sox board, it is a community that a lot of us spend a lot of time on. Chisoxfn is the owner and I think the creator.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 02:57 PM) I had heard that there was a stipulation in the funding that they had to keep the address 35th and Shields. What does the orientation of the park have to do with the address?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 29, 2016 -> 11:46 AM) Is any team loaded enough to survive a top 3 starting pitcher missing all/most of the season? Wainwright pitched 28 innings last year and St. Louis won 100 games.

Have the Sox ever announced the addition of a new player at Soxfest?

I don't know what you guys are talking about this thread is closing in on 1200 pages. Doesn't everybody use 5 posts per page setting?

QUOTE (captain54 @ Jan 23, 2016 -> 01:06 PM) the fact that you actually calculated all of my total posts and then counted my posts on this thread and figured the percentage. is a little alarming… I'm sorry my recent posting trend doesn't meet your approval… Kindly off some tips on how I should post to insure I don't piss you off in the future.. There's really not much effort involved at all. If you click on the number of posts in a particular thread on the main forum page, it tells you how many posts each poster has in the thread. Now 63 (at that time) divided by 21 (at that time) isn't really that hard for me to figure out in my head. I am not pissed off at all, it just seems strange that you have the time to lead the charge b****ing about something that nobody else seems to really consider a big deal but don't have the time to present any evidence when asked.

Seems like you have the time, I mean you have been a member here for over 10 years and 1/3 of your posts are in this thread.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 10:17 AM) Someone did a breakdown of all the "impact bats" signed in FA since 2010. Yellow means they were traded during the course of the contract. Green means they lived up to the contract. Looks like he combined all of Cruz's contracts together. Doesn't look good outside of a few. Adam Dunn was traded.

You can say jag off on here.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) What a cool bit of trivia. Alexei Ramirez - Paul Konerko - Frank Thomas - Ozzie Guillen - Carlton Fisk - Jerry Hairston - ...? I can get back to 1983. Anybody in 1982? Edit: Hairston is wrong, flavum's on it up there with Squires. Fisk was on the '81 & '82 teams.

What is J2?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 11:59 AM) I dont know why you have been assuming this, since it has been said all offseason that he is a left fielder. I mean, he has a good arm, so lets put him at shortstop, right? If he has the right attitude, he is a phenomenal athlete, im sure he could make the switch and he could learn. No problem Do it. When the White Sox had Jermaine Dye play SS, they won the World Series.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 9, 2016 -> 11:03 AM) All 4 road teams favorites this weekend. Wow. I saw Washington is -1.

Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 12:45 PM) This could set up the Granderson to Sox theory I suggested earlier. Owed $31M over next years. What would they want for him?

What does it mean that Holliday is getting time at 1B now? Is St. Louis having some kind of winter training camp?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 02:03 PM) Forever 8-8. Rams haven't won 8 games for close to 10 seasons.
