I can't believe I read all the poll options. Good luck taunting the Cubs faithful.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 09:22 AM) This is the most valuable contribution Cody Asche can make to this team. If any change occurs, it should be to honor our official TANK COMMANDER, James Shields. Hawk referred to Samardzija and Sale as the "Captains of Attitude" in 2015. In his honor, I will refer to Shields as the "Captain of Tank"

QUOTE (MDWhiteSoxFan @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 06:31 PM) Would be cool to have a tribute to Q up there. I get that, but 1) He's not dead 2) He's not on the White Sox anymore 3) He's not dead

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:02 PM) I spoke with several Sox and Cub fans around town today and to a man, every cub fan liked the trade and every so fan was madder than he11. Why make a trade that helps the cubs...in any way shape of form? Hahn had other alternatives. Welcome to 2017. We don't care about the Cubs. Stop living in the past. Every White Sox move is about one thing: the White Sox.

Our farm system would go from 1-3 to 30th. No joke.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 03:35 PM) History has shown us that the Sox are getting more than expected for big ticket items. Just saying. That and that Hahn is willing to wait. So while we're all excited about moving more talent for prospects, we might have to wait a week or two.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) So you guys have gone all season to this point without watching Sox games? I couldn't do it. I honestly have had few chances to watch, honestly. I took a month off and it was tough.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 03:38 PM) MLB.TV available for 39.99 rest of the year, I gave in and bought. Go Sox. Thanks for the update. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on that. The possibility of Moncada is tempting.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 03:58 PM) I'll go with no. I'm suspect of the coaching and development in the farm system. To my knowledge this is still the stagnant part of the organization. The farm development staff is so new you have no leg to stand on with this argument.

Thanks for being the best pitcher in baseball no one paid any attention to. Good luck on the North Side. I hope Avi launches one against you.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) Now the tank can truly commence. I doubt we hit number 1 overall, but dang, we're set for a nice pick next draft.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:45 PM) That would be bad publicity for the Sox No it would not be bad publicity. Come off it fathlum

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:13 PM) I think 2020 is when we hit .500 again. World Series if we hate .500 as a team har har. I get what you're saying

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:04 PM) Hahn coming on ESPN 1000 now. His response for trading with the Cubs is on the money. They're not going to take less to not trade with the Cubs

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:02 PM) Perhaps not quite top 25 talent, but if the Sox decide to move Abreu, they'll get a really nice return. The Yankees should most definitely be interested. At this point, I say f*** it - trade him. Tank hard the rest of 17 and 18, and be ready to put a respectable product on the field in 2019. Not really sure what Abreu accomplishes on this team at this point. I'm not sure I buy this, but I'll accept the "We like his leadership in mentoring the young guys"

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:57 AM) Sorry, had to have a giggle at that. Hopefully we'll be able to add a Jameson to that future OF. Fun for all the alcoholic's! I think the general consensus of the "Tank for Beer" movement is that "Seth Beer" is a placeholder for "best available for the white sox"

Cubs fans are struggling to accept the fact they are in Win-Now mode.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:42 AM) Maybe 2021. Hopefully we have a new owner by then. That's ridiculous. These prospects put us in a position to be competitive by 2020 with signs in 2018, 2019.

Finally we can put to bed this nonsense that the White Sox and Cubs won't make deals with each other.

I believe in Rick Hahn

Excellent trade.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 9, 2017 -> 01:04 PM) Some impressive history Lester just joined.. in a bad way. The twitter reaction to the Cubs twitter post about Lester was hilarious

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 07:48 AM) Music interests are so all over the place that this thread doesn't get the play it could. Makes sense. Anyway, the new Royal Blood album "How Did We Get So Dark" is f***ing awesome. These guys are currently carrying the "best new rock band" torch for me. Awesome jams, great vocals. Play the first song and you'll be hooked for the rest. This is their second official album. https://open.spotify.com/album/3Rz6kF8eGqrDOEteo5YsBj Saw them at Austin City Limits a couple of years ago. They were on at like 2 PM and when they got on stage the showing was small. After the first song, the place was packed. Out of the Black is one of my favorite songs and I have a shirt with the cover of their first album on it. I discovered them through Apple Music and the premier of Beats 1. Little Monster was like the third song ever played on the station. As far as Catfish and the Bottlemen, they're great. Probably better than Green Day.

I think when it comes to the MCU, this is easily my favorite of the solo films. It doesn't quite achieve the greatness of Spider-man 2 or The Dark Knight, but it is clearly the most fun, hilarious, and best acted of the solo MCU films

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 08:31 PM) Slightly? Stevens is a great coach. A lineup of Horford/Crowder/George/Hayward/Thomas with Smart dogging off the bench (and if they trade two future firsts and Brown for George they'd have Tatum too) is the biggest competition Lebron had since the 2010 Celtics. I actually like that team to beat the Cavs. You're discounting teams with young stars getting better. That's a bad assumption.
