Me: Reuniting the Shield like this is so dumb. Also me when they just walk into a room together: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I'm a f***in mark. Sue me.

It seemed Rodon started to get his s*** together after he got passed the Spring Training portion of his season this year. I think next year he'd really take a leap forward if he's not broken. Unfortunately that's a big if at this point.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Oct 2, 2017 -> 10:00 AM) I would agree. Even though Rogers said it was valuable, 3 years is extreme. Rodgers.

The biggest thing for me is the rebuild is super healthy and might be moving a bit faster than imagined at first.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 29, 2017 -> 04:48 PM) Yeah i'd do it too. We just have so little longterm assets and frankly in 4-5 years when it would really hurt, I don't see that contract still being that insane unless tv revenues truly crash. But MLB is the one sport that I think handles it. It's just a chance I'm willing to take. He can really make this team something special in the next 5-6 or whatever seasons. If that's the case then even if the contract becomes an albatross down the road you just deal with it. It's a risk, of course, but one I'm willing to take if the price is right.

QUOTE (Tony @ Sep 29, 2017 -> 04:02 PM) In regards to Avi and Stanton, that's surely something worth a discussion. Absolutely. Still not sure what a Stanton trade would look like but we have to look into it. Adding Stanton to an Abreu, Eloy, Moncada offensive core is f***in salivating.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Sep 29, 2017 -> 04:15 PM) They don't do surgery for bursitis. This was basically exploratory because they couldn't figure it out. There are only two bursae in this area. The biceps and subacromial. They debrided either the bicep / labrum or the rotator cuff. Good news, no significant structural damage. Bad news, no guarantee they found the problem. 6 to 8 months is a long time for not funding anything. I'm guessing this might have to do with his agent.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 04:27 PM) If they're going to extend him they should do it now - pay more in the next 2 years and in return have to pay for fewer years at the end of his career. Ya, I'm actually all for this depending on the rate of course. Obviously if you get blown away by a trade offer you make a deal but as a ton of others have already said, it sure seems like Jose is worth more to the Sox than anyone else.

Anyone that asks for the banner to be changed will be banned! Even if I don't have the power to do that.

Ya, the Alexa-Mickie segment was money last night.

I'm sure plenty of people will disagree but I'm liking the Enzo stuff since he moved to 205 live. I think it's the best reality era stuff going on right now. I will also say I have no clue how I feel about this Shield reunion that's about to happen. They're one of my favorite acts ever but to bring them back to take down a trio that consists of Axel and Bo right now? I'll see how it plays out but I don't know.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 22, 2017 -> 11:55 PM) I guess it's old school eye test guy vs. modern advanced statniks. I'm not going to sit here and argue with you because you've proven time and time again that you absolutely refuse to educate yourself but I just want you to know that this last line here is 100 percent bulls***.

QUOTE (juddling @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 04:50 PM) There were no winners in the final three...I could easily see the case against all three. What's the case against Paul besides the fact he "upset" the jury? He was by and away the best player this season and bitter jury got him.

I would have wanted to Paul to lose against basically anyone but Josh. I hate that kid so much.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 10:29 PM) Those eating challenges are just the worst, I just fast forward through those now Tony just digs himself a bigger and bigger hole in the phone But how did Twitter know that they hooked up already? And where was Camilla in that episode? There's always spoilers around.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 12:12 PM) Wasn't his curveball supposed to be his best pitch in the minors? I'm not disagreeing with you on how it's looked for us, but I swear that everything I've read listed it as plus plus. From games I've watched him in the minors and highlights I've seen, it's still there and it's nasty when it's on. That said, it seems like he's having issues consistently finding the feel for it. I agree with what a lot of others have said, he's had luck on his side so far since he's been up but he also seems to have only had his good stuff for a start or two. Either way, he's still a work in progress but you certainly can't be mad about the results so far.

I'm guessing Bobby is actually being held off tv until he eventually ends Dolph's schtick, makes too much sense. I'm still enjoying the Dolph stuff so whatever. I legit turned off the tv when Jinder came on so can't comment on that segment. And I'm sure Charlotte is about to get a long run. Hopefully that division gets iconic soon.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 09:41 PM) As an outfielder, he will make a good DH Haha, I figured as much but figured I'd ask.

That was a hell of a catch by Nicky earlier this inning. I haven't had a chance to watch as much as I like since he's been called up. How has the defense been in left? Horrific? Adequate? Who the hell knows?

Lance Lynn is going to make a looooot of money. I highly doubt he's taking a 1 year deal.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 17, 2017 -> 05:56 PM) RIP Bobby Heenan. The best ever. I usually dont get weird about celebrity deaths...im heart broken on this one. Best ever and not close.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 17, 2017 -> 12:28 AM) nearing .270? .263 is nowhere near .270 this late in a season. still can't walk to save his life he has to hit well over .300 to have good offensive value. This is a really bad post.

QUOTE (Quin @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 10:24 AM) My newsroom (in NYC) sent a team of 8 to STL. We're expecting s*** to explode. Ya people are expecting s*** to pop off pretty bad tonight. It's not too bad yet but it's gaining steam. I got sent home early from work cause my bosses were freaking out cause I live in the middle of the city. Could be a fun night.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 14, 2017 -> 03:07 PM) Ron will fix em. That's Abreu and Moncada. Who is next? Fulmer? Collins? Given the fact he started a "Why can't we compete next year" thread, we're going to be lucky to win a game next season.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 09:34 PM) and we don't have to see Cody Asche's face at the top of this page!!!!!!!!!! That banner is leading us to a championship.
