QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 09:25 PM) The Dodgers are REALLY good...but the 2nd half for the Sox is going to be rough. Buckle up. Rough is an understatement, but it will be for the best

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 09:22 PM) Most insider types felt Robertson could fetch a backend top 100 type. Add Florial or Sheffield to the deal (Sox kick in a few million as well) and it is much more palatable. I think if that were true Robertson would have been gone at some point before last night. No one is itching to pay 13 million + for a good but not dominant closer. Especially when its pretty obvious the Sox did not want to eat any of his salary in a deal. Frazier was practically worthless. He didn't need to be here anymore and we couldn't offer the QO to get a pick because he would have more than likely accepted it. I don't even consider him an asset in this deal. Ultimately we get a top 30-40ish prospect plus two more actual prospects to unload the Robertson money and Kahnle.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 08:56 PM) Dickman just went yard. Ok you know what Ace, my life definitely is not over. I even have a second kid now and am still alive.

Yep, Rodon sucks. Its like hes making his 4th start or something

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 07:55 PM) Renteria is obsessed with bunting, this better not be an issue when the White Sox are good enough for it to count Renteria will not be the manager come that time, I would hope at least

absolutely pathetic

That was beautiful to watch especially after everyone crying about him striking out so much

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:44 PM) Their guy that they've basically passed on twice in one year. Their guy or not it's not about Rutherford to me, I'm completely fine with him being the main piece, I would have just liked one other top 100 or so guy, that's all. But why? Frazier had no real value, Robertson is not a dominant closer and is still owed a lot of money. Kahnle is the only one of those guys that was worth anything, but he certainly wasn't worth 2 Top 100 guys.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:37 PM) If my math is right and it's probably not, the Sox are 0.5 games back of SD for the #2 pick and 7.5 behind PHI for the first. You mean San Francisco, San Diego has a better record than us

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:04 PM) That would honestly be fine. For Frazier and Robertson, sure If Kahnle is involved as well im not as excited about a depth package

I think people are underestimating how bad this team is going to be once more of these guys get traded

Too much complaining about a guy with a .388 OBP and an .854 OPS

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 30, 2017 -> 06:35 AM) Whoever wrote that Alexa Bliss segment last night should be fired. Furthermore, whoever read it and cleared that should go with them. I mean, wow that was bad. Way to write your hottest female feud into the ground. Yep, very cringe-worthy

Best part of Raw Roman Reigns comes out to deafening boos and eff yous Vince McMahon comes out later, to loud cheers and people doing the were not worthy gesture, yet hes the guy responsible for why everyone hates Roman Reigns

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 6, 2017 -> 12:42 PM) It was definitely just a rumor, but I don't think it's that bad for Washington given Cousins' contract situation. If they want to keep him, they have to pay him a lot and lot of money, which they don't seem comfortable doing, especially with Shanahan gone. So you might as well get something for him, and while Romo does have his durability issues, he's still a better QB IMO. Letting him walk and signing a monster contract elsewhere gives them a 3rd round comp pick. That's probably a much better deal than banking on Tony Romo to make it through a season.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 11:10 AM) Seth Rollins hurt. Left arena on crutches and will go further evaluation this week. Makes me think they're worried about the ACL again. Man that would suck it what has been basically a 5 month build up. Seems like a work to me TBH

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 30, 2017 -> 09:34 AM) Rollins was off the card due to the NXT stuff they did with HHH. I agree on the surprise entrants, I was kind of expecting a few but it didn't happen. I think a lot of people were pulling for Jericho when it got down to the final four. Personally, I was hoping Roman would win it just to piss off the smarks. Oh im aware as to why he was "off the card" but how many times have you seen the "so and so is banned" and they end up showing up in some way? That's what I am confused about. It would have been awesome, lets say, that Rollins was #30 because Shane gave up one of the Smackdown slots to stick it to Raw or something like that. You could have had HHH get involved for his elimination, but I guess they already have their plans in place to further that storyline.

The best part about the Rumble is the surprise entrants, even if they don't realistically have a chance at winning. There was none of that this year. I don't understand how Seth Rollins is left off the card completely. Cena and Orton at Mania? Its been done, not thrilled about that. Honestly, I was pulling for Jericho when it got down to the final four. The Royal Rumble match is what makes the PPV, and it just wasn't that good. Therefor, the PPV was a let down even if the other matches were pretty damn good.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 09:42 AM) Nah, it was the Steve Harvey show, filmed in Chicago. I was really hoping you were going to say you played Bullethead

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) You Patriot-ed? Pretty much, I had my worst week of the season points wise.. couldn't have come at a worst time.. I lost out on $500 but still get $160 for 2nd place

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 12:13 AM) Final line for me this season: 2 championships, a third place finish and a $90 profit in the league I didn't make the playoffs. I'll never have a year like this again. I went 2-2 in my 4 championship games.. I lost my undefeated season

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 08:57 PM) Agreed. Hahn has said plenty of times these guys are likely starting the season in the minors and will not be rushed which makes sense when looking at the Sox roster as of now. There's only a small market for Frazier/ Robertson and literally none for Melky/Lowrie so we likely start the season with them and look to move Frazier/Robertson in July and hope that Melky/Lowrie can play well enough to get something in return. There's no need to trade Q if teams won't pay and with four years of control left he will have plenty of value at the deadline and next winter. None the less I still think a team will blink and trade for Q. As for Abreu, I don't think the Sox are too interested in trading Abreu and probably prefer to keep him around to mentor Moncada when he's ready for a call up which IMO is the right move unless a team offers a big overpay. Another point is a team does not trade it's best pitcher and overall hitter for prospects that very from A to 3A experience if they are not rebuilding. This is a different and better strategy than what the Sox have used in recent years with the "rebuilding on the fly" and " retooling" routes previously taken. I've taken my fair share of shots at JR but I give him credit for going ahead and rebuilding. Never thought he would do it at 80 years old but he's proved me wrong. I agree, its just a strange feeling I have. Also I guess because we had the two big trades so close together and now its been pretty much silence. I do believe they are rebuilding, its just odd that so far the only two pieces to move have been the two guys who caused the most "issues". I also don't think anyone would be shocked if Moncada, Giolito, or Lopez played well enough to earn a spot on the opening day roster regardless of what Hahn is spinning. They don't have stiff competition to beat out. At worst, they play the extra year of control game and then we see them up. Again, this is assuming they perform well enough to earn a spot. Well see, I still think they will trade Q but I also wouldn't be surprised in the least to see them back off of the full rebuild and do the ol White Sox retool that we all love.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 07:30 PM) It's not a matter of patience, it's just my opinion that this isn't a full rebuild. We will see who is right on opening day. Not gonna lie, im starting to lean in that direction as well. Moncada, Giolito, Lopez are all guys who could not only start on the OD roster, but will more than likely make it there this season.. If Quintana gets traded, its definitely a full on rebuild.. but man, there is a lot of evidence to suggest, at the least, that they got rid of the two problem children
