Playoff. Baseball.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 07:58 PM) I don't. I'd be really surprised if it happened. All the talk, everything I'm hearing from a number of sources is that JR wants to go for it again in 2017. That means unless someone is willing to meet the Sox price of five big league or big league ready guys, they aren't moving him or Q or anybody else of note. But we'll see...things change. Mark Hahn admitted this morning going for it every year isn't working and free agent additions haven't lead to winning. Even if they don't completely blow it up, they're going to do closer to that then "go for it"

One of Sale or Q is gone for sure in my world. For the right price, I trade both. The one thing this org can do is draft pitchers. ToddFather and Melky gone, too. Everyone except Anderson and the young arms are available.

He should have been a team embassador all along. He was a great third baseman and I'll try to remember him as that.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 3, 2016 -> 07:53 AM) It's pretty ridiculous that they didnt even interview a single other candidate. It just makes the whole Ventura leak thing even more awkward. This has obviously been the plan for awhile, so why even bother with that dumb ass charade? It does look a little strange, but if this was the plan all along, it was going to be really easy to see through any tactics. If they interviewed three guys and went ahead and hired Renteria, we would have said "Why interview other guys?" You're not wrong, but there's just no awesome way to replace your manager with someone on his staff.

Kenny absolutely has to go. Rick should go, but I do worry Kenny has completely muddied the waters. Rick should have full personnel control on the baseball side. The fact that he doesn't is well documented.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 09:06 AM) No, this mess is on Emery and Angelo more than Pace. Biggs was saying this morning that the only players from the Emery drafting era that could be on the team next season are Leno, Jeffrey and Long. You cant judge Pace's drafts yet I don't disagree with this point, either, but we can't go and re-fire Emery on this. I don't believe anyone is currently fireable at this very moment. Edit: maybe just Loggains.

Fox won't get fired. If anything, the personnel just isn't there. This mess is on Pace.

It breaks my heart that Robin's playing career will be overshadowed by his tenure as manager. Fire the White Sox

The Bears are horrible. The Cowboys aren't very good and the Bears looked terrible against them.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 07:51 AM) It seems like alot of cities want to build stadiums for teams. I read where the State of Nevada just approved $750 million for a new football stadium for the Raiders. I'm under the impression that the money is coming from the tax payers. Unless the city of Oakland comes up with a new stadium it looks like the Raiders are moving to Vegas. Raiders are gone. Oakland will never come up with that money.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 20, 2016 -> 11:48 AM) This isn't baseball where you can trade players for prospects. No one is gonna give you a valuable young player. You can get a draft pick for him, but there's no guarantee at all he's a better player than Jeffery. And with all the moves they have made, there is plenty of cash to sign him to a longer deal. Exactly. Jeffery is worthless in the NFL trade market. NFL just doesn't work that way.

TWTW is complete garbage. The team just isn't good enough and management goes in every year setting them up for failure. The end. Glad Jose isn't blind, but he also overvalues TWTW apparently.

Domers can stop pretending now.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 5, 2016 -> 01:29 AM) This isn't just at Cubs games...This is literally EVERYWHERE in today' society. As a 25 year old I hate going out with people taking pics and videos and just sitting on their phone. Live in the moment. It's the MLB's fault. They have been the worst of the major sports in terms of getting their content on social media. Their youtube presence is essentially negligible.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 4, 2016 -> 11:28 PM) Soo many seething Notre Dame haters on here, yeeesh. Must be a stressful life to have to live holding that much contempt. Days like today make it great. Notre Dame is like this EVERY YEAR. We're all just used to it and glad it's over with.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 4, 2016 -> 11:07 PM) As always They can't hire a real coach to save their lives.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 4, 2016 -> 10:47 PM) As long as they beat ND is all that matters to me. "Today, we are all Longhorns"

Thank God we can be spared all the "ND deserves a CFP bid" nonsense.

Texas is playing such inspired football. They're likely not the better team, but they're playing like it's for their season.

Brian Kelly is such an idiot with that incomplete pass challenge. That timeout would have been nice.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 4, 2016 -> 09:47 PM) This is quite the football game in Austin Wanted to go, but tickets were $250 a piece.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 4, 2016 -> 09:03 PM) I think if they were easy to find, they never would have paid him what they paid him. But it does seem as a whole, kickers are a lot more reliable than they used to be. Robbie has slipped without a doubt. Hopefully they find someone as reliable as he has been over the years. Right. And again this is just based on the few teams I get the opportunity to watch, but it seems like every year some kicker is leading the franchise or some college kid is kicking the ball 60 yards.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 4, 2016 -> 09:01 PM) The eyes....of Texas And just like that they realize they're young again. My wife is an Aggie, but that school is so off-putting I find myself pulling for UT

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 4, 2016 -> 08:49 PM) Wow. He would have been gone last season if not for his long career.. I think that's the last piece from the Super Bowl and Lovie era Bears. At least I got Lovie in Champaign. And Urlacher on every other billboard on I-90 with his new hair. Who will be the new kicker? I can't imagine John Fox going for two all the time Stupid question, but I rarely think about special teams. Are kickers particularly difficult to find?
