I've pretty much accepted that it will be Avisail Garcia. Disappointment came with that acceptance, so I'm just going to keep telling myself that he's only had one full season at the MLB level. If by May/June his spot in the batting order is a black hole, then I see them swinging a trade for someone.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 17, 2016 -> 08:35 AM) The Stephen King adaptation? The short story is better but the movie wasnt bad I enjoyed the movie; haven't read the short story yet. That ending was some heavy stuff.

Just watched The Mist. Lordy.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 19, 2015 -> 02:22 AM) Solid B. Easily better than any of the prequels, but I have my gripes. - let's ditch the Death Star / Death Planet idea. Oh no! It's 10X the size!!!... And defeated easier than any Death Star before - she needs no training to become an elite Jedi standing toe to toe with Kylo Ren - Kylo Ren demasked was laughable. Nerd alert! Ok got the obvious out of the way. It was still awesome. They did an amazing job of bringing the old films back with upgraded visuals. I both get and don't get the need to kill Han Solo. I could've watched another 20 hours of this and didn't want it to end. That's obviously good. I almost feel like there was too much passing of the guard. Are we done with R2? I hope not. I felt too much emotion most of the evening so I'll let it ruminate. The death planet's ease of defeat was a problem, though. Oh and the big bad CGI lording over Ren and his buddy was kinda lame. They honestly shouldn't have removed Ren's mask. I will be interested to see why the opportunity for Ren to go to the Dark Side was even a thing. He had mom and dad. Maybe Han took away his PlayStation 22? Just saw the movie last night and the bolded stood out to me immediately. I was actually impressed by the Death Star v3.0 (Death Planet?) was really impressive. The view from one of the Republic planets that got burninated by the death ray was one of the cooler moments of the movie for me.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 01:40 PM) I would usually assume this to be satire, but then I saw your username... It's no fun to be in what I assume is the minority amongst Sox fans. For myself, Farmer is the voice of the Sox, just as Hawk is to many.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 11:30 AM) Now time to get a new radio pbp voice. They can lock Farmer up for a few more years and they're all set.

Great news, somewhat surprising to see after this morning's news, but I'll gladly take it.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 12:24 AM) Here we go. But he actually sounds pretty classic. Looked around for some material, and that was my initial impression, good voice. That's a great thing, because even based on a few PBP calling MLB games regularly- they could have done much worse.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 08:13 AM) It's not a very White Sox move, but it's kind of exactly who you'd hope/expect a team to hire in this situation. A young local guy with both national experience and baseball experience. Agreed, I was just 100% sure it was going to be someone from their list of candidates. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/history/players.jsp

Well, this is random.

Span would have been nice.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) Is the Count showing up to join Abreu and roll out the red carpet for Cespedes? As good as Sale has been, that roll Count went on that one year (don't remember which year...but I want to say it was 2005 and again in 2006 until his back or whatever it was got the best of him) was just absurd. I went from being annoyed by Contreras to thinking we'd never lose when he was on the mound. So damn dominant. What a trade by Kenny to get Jose. That, or he may yet be a productive member of the 'pen. Even though I kid, it's probably true.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 08:48 AM) If there is a defense to that, Sox fans that called his show were super meatball-ish and it can wear on you. I think people overlook this aspect of the job.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:01 PM) He's playing the market perfectly or so it seems. I doubt that he's the only one doing so of the teams that are in on Cespedes/Upton.

So Upton has gone from being uninterested in playing for the Sox to intrigued, now?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) Cespedes barely speaks English. I doubt he is looking for huge marketing opportunities, and frankly very few baseball players have them, but never mind that,. The White Sox are hopeless. No need to be an english major to bask in prime marketing opportunities.

Span was the one I would have liked to see here if/when the Sox miss on the other two.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 09:09 AM) Ahhhhh...Dunner. How could I forget!!! Wasn't too memorable as a Sox. Or was, just not in a good way. His opening day home run at Cleveland was the high point of his time here to me.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 04:48 PM) The worst part of this is, the locals don't want them there, nor does the state, nor do the people they are supposedly acting on behalf of. They aren't patriots, they're thugs. But dee turk err jarbs!

I'm cheering for the billies.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 3, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) Rose will be undergoing an MRI on his knee. grass is green

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 12:07 PM) ...And with social media now, there are thousands upon thousands of fake reporters. I'm internally debating if this is the cause of the laughably inaccurate, ever-changing news coverage on the 24 hour networks, or a product of them. It's very much a which came first: the chicken or the egg kind of deal. Hate it.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) Damn Mets grabbed DeAza before Hahn could pull the trigger. How about that center fielder, Weiss?

Not familiar with any of their music beyond Ace of Spades, but Lemmy from Motorhead is dead at 70.

Another candidate for the Sox tv booth.
