QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) I'd rather we be the place that the Yankees trade Gardner to make room for Upton. I second this!

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 12:10 PM) Meh it also gives us another topic to BS about. This is true and now we know the real reason Parent was fired. It's all Eaton's fault!

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 11:47 PM) The Sox have too many holes in the infield to wrap up that kind of money on one outfielder. Besides, unless the Sox move a big contract or increase payroll, the money simply is not there. Cespedes is part of a WS team, why the hell would he sign with a 76 win team? Surely a playoff team or a team in much better shape to contend next year can offer up as much as the Sox and probably more. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 09:30 AM) The Sox won't offer the most money, and they won't be the best situation he can go to. Already in agreement with you.

Considering the source and Eaton being one of a few productive hitters in '15, I take this with a grain of salt. I think it's much more possible the Sox try to move Melky or Avi to fit Thompson into the lineup and even that's a stretch considering their values or lack thereof. Eaton isn't going anywhere but hey, it beats talking about the other team that is now at home watching the post season with the rest of us.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 11:54 PM) Players go where the money is. If a 76 win team offers the most money, 99% of players aren't going to give a s*** about the record. Do you really think the Sox could offer the most money? I'm not saying the Sox are cheap but with the current roster the payroll is around 114/115M. A player like Cespedes would put them close to 140M without addressing the infield needs. Unless some Sox players improved upon their 2015 numbers, Cespedes only makes the Sox a .500 team. Sox need much more than one hitter.

QUOTE (Ballz-n-Strikes @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 11:30 PM) I'm glad you're not in the FO. Cespedes is EXACTLY what they should be spending $ on. The Sox have too many holes in the infield to wrap up that kind of money on one outfielder. Besides, unless the Sox move a big contract or increase payroll, the money simply is not there. Cespedes is part of a WS team, why the hell would he sign with a 76 win team? Surely a playoff team or a team in much better shape to contend next year can offer up as much as the Sox and probably more.

A well rested young Mets pitching staff will be very difficult to beat in the WS regardless of who they play. I just hope the layoff doesn't affect their hitting.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 10:40 PM) What's with wrigley booing the mets? Really? Because it's not the cubs fault they lost, its the Mets fault for winning, hence the booing. Sadly, that literally is the mindset.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 10:31 PM) An oldie, but a goodie. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Right on man. Glad someone caught that. " I'll see ya tomorrow with my tools f***face" I thought some Jerky Boys was fitting about now.

STELLA!

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 10:28 PM) As in "Frank Rizzo!Open your f#*king ears jackass!"? Yyyyes! That Rizzo!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 10:24 PM) No mention of either Maddon or metaphysical magic/spells/incantations. Duda was 3-for-24 in the #Postseason . He has 3 hits tonight, all of which are XBH. #Mets Was hoping you would have something clever for Maddon, although I like the magic spells, incantations bit. Well done. Cub fans tonight: " dude a, where's my car?"

So, can anyone think of new excuses from the cub fans and media that have not been mentioned yet? Schwarber- accidentally wore his jockey's backwards Bryant- wore his girlfriends panties, by mistake of course Soler- tried to reverse the curse by purposely wearing Bartman's headphones Hammel- wore a pre-game bra on his head because it worked in some movie he'd seen Lester- the chemicals in the hair treatments from his hair club for men membership f***ed with his brain Rizzo- its because Frank is his brother LA Stella- kept hearing Elaine Benes' voice saying " Stella " over and over Have I missed any?

I hope Reed doesn't allow this game to become interesting.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 03:07 PM) I'm amazed at how often you have some view of how things are or should be and then are completely shocked when absolutely nobody else shares that same view. Look up the word narcissist and re-read some of Greg's posts. It's quite eerie and creepy.

Adventures in Gregory sitting.

Signing Shark bait to an extension with so many offensive holes to fill makes zero sense. So long Shark bait.

Greg and Greg's excellent adventure... In baby sitting?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 01:12 AM) And then they could run advertisements from THE WIZ...topped off by a food segment where Greg gets upbraided by the local Applebee's in Lawrence by the same sous chef (Soup Nazi) who says "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" and can then plead his case online about why he actually should have been served the soup but was unfairly denied his rightful cup. Still trying to figure out how I can incorporate Ozzie Guillen and the members of the 2005 Chicago White Sox into the show...why they would have a reason to come to Lawrence that doesn't have anything to do with KU basketball? Maybe they're doing a 10 year anniversary "Hallmark World Series Champs Card" to benefit White Sox Charities and they have to do the camera shoot/production there at the HQ facility...I know, it's a stretch. You're on a roll Caulfield! Ozzie and the 05 Sox could be written in as being lost in Texas after leaving ST in AZ. It is there that they run into Kickin Wing who takes them on a spiritual journey via peyote ( while listening to ZZ Top) that reveals Ozzie and co need to go to KS. Along comes Joe Dirt and offers them all a ride to KS in his Hemi and off they go (while singing the wizard of oz song, in perfect harmony). A full frontal attack ensues on the evil soup nazi whom was ostracized to KS by Seinfeld and his cohorts due to his nazi ways and being a closet cubs/Royals fan. The soup nazi ( not to be out done) has formed a special bond with The Rock/Elmo/Greg and has been feeding them a new Avengers Soup that will boost their 3rd personage's. While this is going down, Seinfeld and his cohorts have teamed up with Egg Shen who has busted out his six-demon bag and are heading to KS for the ultimate battle royale that includes stop signs as weapons! Stay tuned folks, this s***s about to get heavy! QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 07:04 AM) *trill* *trill* *trill* He just wants the Cream of Sum Yung Gai. Perhaps it's, The cream of sum yung soup nazi? Would explain the anxiety.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 09:45 AM) Greg needs to have a reality show with Bob Dole where they both talk in third person...kind of like that economic conspiracy movie Collapse mixed with SNLish vignettes. With a Wayne's World feel. I know, I know....put down the crack pipe. Greg's world, Greg's world, ticket time, excellent! Greg and Jimmy from Seinfeld need to form a 3rd person dynamic duo. Perhaps they could take on the 3rd person heavy weight champs in Elmo and The Rock. Can you smellelelelel what the stop sign is cooking? Oh, my bad, its the crack. Carry on...

Coming from cub fans, none of this surprises me. There's always an excuse or some childish cheap shot coming from them in an effort to feel better about themselves and their team. They even whined about their cross town rival fan base not cheering for their beloved cubbies. f***ing idiots!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 12:24 AM) Any team that picks LaTroy Hawkins over Mark Buehrle on its postseason pitching staff deserves to lose. My gosh. Fathom could DEFINITELY blast a double off Hawkins. LaTroy Hawkins?? Considering Buehrle had something like four cortisone shots throughout the season and is not on the playoff roster, I think it's safe to say Buehrle is not healthy or he'd be out there pitching.

Thank you Samardzija, for not signing an extension. I sincerely appreciate that. Now, don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you!
