Crawford back to the IR, ugh.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Dec 27, 2017 -> 10:48 AM) Hope they don't do this. What, honestly, would be the point? To sell more tickets and earn more revenue to not sign Machado or Harper with.

As long as Jerry keeps Kenny around, Ichiro can always have a spot on the roster here.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 26, 2017 -> 07:36 PM) This one. Earth I guess I don't hold James Shields in as high regard as others do. Giolito and Lopez are hardly proven at the major league level yet, and everybody hates Fulmer. That's hardly loaded, you can't assume minor league pitchers are gonna automatically kill it at the major league level. Kopech is hot stuff, but you don't ignore other major league pitchers because of him. He might hurt himself during a workout anyway.

QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 26, 2017 -> 04:31 PM) Also, right handed pitchers is where the White Sox are most loaded at the moment. In what world are the Sox loaded with right handed pitching?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 23, 2017 -> 08:51 PM) This game is unwatchable. College basketball refs continue to be absolute gutter trash. Charging/blocking calls are straight coin flips

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 23, 2017 -> 07:17 PM) I strongly believe it'll be Jeter when he's eligible. Very possible, but his Marlins ownership may ruin that chance quickly

QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 23, 2017 -> 07:51 PM) Illinois always gets up for this game. What is definitely a bad team is playing what is definitely the best game they will play all year. Ahh well Don't you worry, it will be close at the end. And this year Illinois has pissed away close games better than anyone.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 23, 2017 -> 12:47 PM) It’s called business. I can’t really see how anyone would be offended by this unless they worked for Bleacher Report or one of the sites he ripped. Whatever, it’a your loss as the content is beyond incredible. The problem is that he said it publicly. Every other business keeps those comments in house. That was the first site I ever paid money to read. I originally did it just for the college football coverage, but with the Chicago coverage too, it's a no brainer to sign.up.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 23, 2017 -> 03:08 PM) https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=F...AAAsz3uDsmqy_Vw 95 ballots counted C Jones - 97.9 Thome - 96.8 Guerrero - 93.7 Martinez - 83.2 Hoffman - 80.0 ----------- Mussina - 72.6 Clemens - 70.5 Bonds - 69.5 Schilling - 69.5 https://twitter.com/iananywhere/status/944675451909185536 Looks like Johan Santana just got his first vote out of 96. With a week left to get the ballots in, I'm sure we'll see a lot of strategic voting, which to me, is a major flaw in the whole process. There's something wrong with Hoffman getting in so easily while Billy Wagner doesn't stand a chance.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Dec 17, 2017 -> 10:08 AM) Pleasantly surprised to see Thome getting near-universal support. I imagine he'll wind up in the low 80s range like Frank. Weirded out that someone didn't vote for Chipper. Character clause? There are still a few grumpy old men left who refuse to vote anyone in on their first ballot, even Junior was left off 3 ballots. As they start cleaning out the voter roll, we should have a unanimous guy sometime in the near future.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Dec 22, 2017 -> 03:34 PM) No reason to make a trade like this until we see where the holes will be on our roster. I highly doubt we will need an outfielder. Until the guys are producing in the major leagues, you can never say that. Right now they have 0.5 outfielders depending on Avi. If you have a surplus, you can always make a trade. I joked when the Cubs traded for Russell, yet another middle.infielder, but it was a great move.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 22, 2017 -> 07:04 PM) Deep pockets can go a long way. He definitely knows hitting though. Their deep pockets helped with Lester, Lackey, and Hammel (I'm sure I missed another one or two). But so many of their pitching was acquired thanks to shrewd moves or having so many good hitting prospects, as Theo knows hitting. Hendricks, Arrieta, Strop, Rondon, Davis, Chapman, Montgomery, Edwards. All those guys pitched significant innings, none were free agent signings.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Dec 21, 2017 -> 11:27 AM) Sorry. When guys like him, Cowherd, Berman and their ilk open their mouths I turn the channel or go to another web page. That's the price they pay for their arrogance. The fact that you compare Berman and LeBatard makes it obvious you've never even listened to LeBatard before.

Williams can tie it with a three....he does!

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 21, 2017 -> 08:20 PM) Rumors on twitter that G. Cole to Pirates is possibly gonna happen. Have to assume Cutch is traded then if Frazier is included. In general, I'm surprised at how little activity has been rumored for WSox besides Manny Rumors are that Pirates want Gleybar, Yankees countering with Frazier (not Todd)

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 21, 2017 -> 04:03 PM) Davish to the Cubs? Musta missed how the Fukudome stuff went down. White Sox Dave >>>>>>> Barstool Carl

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Dec 20, 2017 -> 02:07 PM) Dick Vitale (a Rays season ticket holder) is pretty pissed. He sent out a tweet saying fans aren't paying major league prices to see minor league players. Last I checked Rays fans weren't spending their money to see major league players either.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 20, 2017 -> 12:25 PM) It's just stupid. Maybe not as stupid as the Pizza Hut employee who put the joke on the box. But it is the same in the sense it seemed they wanted to get fired. If anyone is unaware of the Pizza Hut story, someone ordered a pizza online and asked that the store write a joke on the pizza box. The joke was what do a gynecologist and pizza delivery driver have in common. If you don't know the answer, you can google it. It would boggle the mind to think someone actually thought putting that on a box and remaining employed was something that was going to happen. That was a pretty damn good joke IMO.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Dec 20, 2017 -> 03:09 PM) The #Nats make great move to fortify offense, signing Matt Adams to one-year, $4 million contract with $500,000 in incentives. Deal is done. Adam Lind was doomed after he GIDP on the first pitch from Davis who couldn't throw a strike

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 20, 2017 -> 10:57 AM) Baseball finally had a bowel movement! Teams don't want to get into bidding wars over free agents, so there have been so many more trades. (Other than bullpen arms)

This may have been posted in another thread, but a hilarious story from AJP https://twitter.com/MLBMeme/status/943288008354152449

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 17, 2017 -> 06:49 PM) So Todd Gurley single handedly sends me to the finals in one of my leagues, and Juju Smith-Schuster might of sent me packing in the other league.. (need Lynch to bomb to move on in that league) That game was the death of me. My Wilson/Graham/Baldwin trio scored about 12 total points, while Gurley outscored my Kareem Hunt in the first half alone.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 17, 2017 -> 08:15 PM) Riveron has to go. He has made some dreadful calls this season http://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/12/nfl-steele...-replay-riveron The best part is that in his explanation video, he starts out by saying "As we can see here, Roethlisberger completes a pass to James".

If I just keep b****ing about them sucking, they may never lose again!
