Where my robot umps at?

Ya, I think I'm honestly worried most about one of my best friends who is a muslim. I'm more scared for him than anything else right now.

QUOTE (Tony @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) Donald Trump is a WWE Hall Of Famer. He is now going to be President of the United States. Hey man, don't blame this garbage on wrestling!

Twitter tells me Hillary is now leading Virginia.

At this moment, this is by far the best Fantasy season I've ever had. I currently have the most points in 3 of my 4 leagues, would be in the playoffs in all 4 if the season ended today and I've already won $140 back in my main league. Yay me(for now)!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 09:27 AM) so theo openly admits that the cubs tanked for a couple years during the parade. "Let's be honest, for a while there we forgot the 'not' in 'try not to suck,'" Epstein said. Below is the same MLB rule for which Pete Rose was banned. So when do we revoke the 2016 world series, or at least have an asterisk by it MAJOR LEAGUE RULES Rule 21 MISCONDUCT (a) MISCONDUCT IN PLAYING BASEBALL. Any player or person connected with a club who shall promise or agree to lose, or to attempt to lose, or to fail to give his best efforts towards the winning of any baseball game with which he is or may be in any way concerned; or who shall intentionally fail to give his best efforts towards the winning of any such baseball game, or who shall solicit or attempt to induce any player or person connected with a club to lose, or attempt to lose, or to fail to give his best efforts towards the winning of any baseball game with which such other player or person is or may be in any way connected; or who, being solicited by any person, shall fail to inform his Major League President and the Commissioner. Ya! I hope they take away the Cubs championship for this!!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 01:25 PM) So true, some of the lead discussions on the ESPN shows yesterday dealt with Maddon getting bailed out. If they lost game 7, he was gonna be one of the biggest goats in Chicago sports history He had an awful series. I tend to give him a break on some of the strange stuff he does in the regular season because he's earned that but his managing in the World Series was pretty inexcusable.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 12:57 PM) They're estimating $5 million people for the parade rally. Certainly it's not that much, they always overestimate this stuff. But how soon until we hear about how the Cubs had x more fans there than the Sox? Damn attendance issues always being thrown in our faces!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 12:53 PM) I'm open to trading pretty much anyone. Only "core" guys I would be hesitant on moving are Rodon, Anderson, Saladino, & Jones. If we go full rebuild, I think you keep Jones and let him be the closer for four months and then deal him at the deadline. I definitely don't expect a full rebuild though. Cmon, if we went all in on a rebuild you're not going to shed a tear trading Tyler or Nate. Like you said, no chance it's ever going to happen anyways.

Hey everyone, Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah are in town tonight!

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) You mean if they dealt: Sale, Quintana, Abreu, Eaton, Melky, Lawrie, Frazier, Gonzalez, 2 or 3 of: Robertson, Jones, Petrick, Putnam, Jennings? They would definitely need to re-sign a lot of stop gaps. Whatever is left would probably lead us to the #1 overall draft pick in the 2018 draft haha Lets do it!

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 10:57 AM) I didn't know a 15 minute rain delay was divine intervention. And the Heyward speech being immortalized might be the dumbest sports story in history. I guess he didn't listen to his own speech when he struck out horribly with the bases loaded. I guess anything to make it seem like he's not one of the worst signings in sports history at this point The rain delay stuff is super weird to me. They had the meat of their order up against Shaw on his 2nd inning of work when he was struggling in his first inning, they were going to score no matter what. Anyone could have seen that coming.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 10:46 AM) We're not allowed to complain or be annoyed on a message board? Give me a break. It's not like we're here sharing stories about getting in Cubs fan's faces and being dicks about it. We all know this was you Sqwert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jz7xhy1cR0

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 10:32 AM) Ok I'll speak slowly so you can understand: I am a Chicago White Sox fan. I also happen to f***ing LOVE the game of baseball. Because I'm a fan of the GAME, that world series was something special. I spent all series wanting the Cubs to lose, and then when I sat down in front of that screen something happened. Like I said, I didn't really care who won or who lost - it was the f***ing INDIANS vs the CUBS for god's sake. But man.... that game was the stuff of legends, and I was happy as hell to see it, and happy as hell for all my friends who were euphoric about it. My friend dying of cancer who saw her Cubs win? Yeah. I'm good with that. My friends' parents who are on their last legs getting a Cubs WS before they go? The tears they shared on FB? Yeah. I'm good with that. Does that make ANY sense to you? The love of the GAME. That's why I'm here on this board. Fair? This is all great. Nobody will have a problem with any of this. People will have a problem with you telling what team they should root for and how they should feel after a sporting event.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 10:25 AM) There's a difference between y'all getting your panties in a twist and whining about it, and me laughing and shaking my head at said whining Not really. You're b****ing about the b****ing. If you've seen any of my posts about the Cubs the last few years, I'm the last person to tell to stop whining cause I don't really care. But you're just complaining about the complainers. Just like with most things, I find some people to be a little over crazy about this stuff but people are allowed to not be happy about this.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 10:19 AM) I think all you guys b****ing are just ridiculous. We witnessed one of the greatest moments in the history of sports in that game 7, and all you care about is annoying Cubs fans on the train. It's been 2 days. They're allowed to be obnoxious. Are you guys really that sensitive that it bothers you? Man up. Why is it that the posters being bothered is bothering you? Stop being so sensitive dude. Man up.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 10:02 AM) Couldn't have asked for a better start than having Jameis Winston, Julio Jones and Mike Evans all going last night As long as Jameis and Evans are alive going foward ha. I had Evans going so no complaints here besides the fact Jameis tried to kill him on that one play.

Duh.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 01:09 PM) There was a time that I really thought he was gonna be a beast. Ditto.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) To be fair, I do. So much so that now I don't really follow the team. I'm lame, I realize. For the Cubs, their fans are like Bears fans. Most of them don't know s***, but there's a ton of them! The White Sox are becoming extinct, however. How does that even work? If you don't want bandwagon fans do you just not want your teams to win?

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 10:29 AM) LOL and its not a representation of the organization. Do they think Hahn is in the background telling the guy who runs the twitter, yeah and put win Chicago ANOTHER championship....yeah, you see what I did there?... they will like that. I would respect Hahn so much more if he was.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) It's the Sox official Twitter account. That's the organization...period. Man, some of you guys get way too concerned about tweets. Like I said when people were b****ing about the Cubs twitter account, it's f***in twitter, it doesn't have to be 100 percent serious all of the time.

I wore my Winston Salem Dash hat out this past weekend...does that count?
