Have you ever considered that the dozens of us that spell Caufield wrong are doing intentionally as a way to mock you? s%*# man, we've been doing this for 20 years. Don't make me feel guilty.

Imagine having your existence at Soxtalk being one that relies on the gratification of Caufield. Jesus Christ that's bleak.

Even if you are an actual Sox fan, which I doubt, you don't deserve to celebrate like the rest of us. I don't know how you feel about the Bulls, but I would imagine it's something like "AK is a moron and Josh Giddey is a rapist."

As a Bulls and a Sox fan, none of you haters can take this day away from me.

How long until the Cardinals start calling on relatively young superstar GM Chris Getz?

This team is special.

I hope he can come back with the same action on the change up that led all of baseball in k's.

Another thing, I don't give a s%*# about who gets credit, but Crochet had zero value at this time last year. He might have had negative value. That he was turned into 4 legit prospects - one with star potential - is a major win for the organization.

Giles was a 12 HR guy with great obp and acceptable defense. Pedroia and Utley were MVP candidates and borderline hall of famers. Meidroth will never be near that. I like Baldwin's athleticism, but he looks so weak. Baldwin in the steroid era would be an absolute beast, top prospect, certified stud.

Marcus Giles

I think there's the argument that he's old enough and talented enough that he would respond well to being challenged. At this point, I wonder if he hasn't been healthy for the last 2 years and if his back issues are so debilitating that he might not make it. Trainers can't really judge pain. He has a plus eye, and his inability to turn in pitches up in the zone is a major red flag that he's in more pain than he admits.

Of all the people I've messed with on this board, you and fathom are my favorite. I'd seriously buy you two a drink and I'd expect it to turn into a fun night. ...

Ishiba's my cousin. Incredibly well educated, clever and rich. He's also a union buster who drives a '14 Honda Civic, tapes his shoes, doesn't believe in free agency and won't sign pitchers not named John Danks to deals over 3 years. On the bright side, he has massive influence over David Stern.

I sense some projection on your end. I'd argue that the vast majority of people overly sensitive to allegations of racism are, in fact, racist. If you called me racist, I'd laugh, probably not even address it, and forget about it in 5 minutes. Why? Because I'm not racist. My Mom's a fantastic woman and I'm grateful she allows me to stay in her basement. 2840 S Calumet. Come over. We can have a couple drinks, I'll let you sit on my lap and let you tell me that Robin was the most underrated 3rd baseman of the 90's. Maybe Mom will grab a steak sandwich from Ricobene's that us poors with sucky careers will split with you. For the record, I didn't wake up to make this late night post. Mom and I got s%*# housed at Bernice's, ran up a massive bill, split on it and took off running. She fell over at the underpass and I had to leave her. She's a tough chick. She'll be fine. She better make some meatloaf when she i-bond's. I don't make excuses for Getz. I wish he wasn't hired. I wish Jerry wasn't the owner. I love the idea of some billionaire buying the team and investing millions into the neighborhood, rebuilding and getting me and Mom out of the east side of the e-way. Until that happens, I recognize that Getz inherited the worst situation possible - an organization with little to no infrastructure, dated philosophies, relics for coaches, coming off an internal power struggle between the previous GM and President, and worst of all, a failed rebuild in which all but 1 player completely tanked their value (Cease). At least Getz is transparent about how much the job sucks and doesn't answer questions with trash like "stay out of White Sox business." He may have been the head of player development through it all, but he recognized that he didn't have the tools to compete and is doing everything in his power to change that. People fail. People make mistakes. People also learn and grow from those mistakes. Nobody knows how much the Sox need to change more than Getz. Even if he fails, we're back to where we've always been, me and Mom living in the Low End and the Sox being perpetually mediocre with a great logo and classy uniforms. Mom and I will also show you how to sneak into the Wells side tunnels that open up under the bleachers. We haven't paid for a game in years. Hopefully she doesn't accidentally shoot herself this year. That was awkward.

You just called Caufield "calm, cool and collected." He's the same poster that quit the board earlier this week and started posting again 6 hours later.
