Damn. Shoulda taken one or two more.

Pirates gotta take advantage.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) Unfair umpiring tonight and you won't hear a peep about it tomorrow unless you live in Pittsburgh. Yeah...why would you hear it anywhere else? To be fair, if Sox were in this position we wouldn't care or say anything or expect anything to be said. I have friends who like the Cubs that have been acknowledging it but what are you going to do? Not be excited the team they like is winning?

I have no problem with umps giving pitchers off the corners but it has to go the same way.

Man I miss the Sox being relevant. Though, they've only had what 3 playoff appearances since 2000?

This game is over

If they make any moves, I don't see them dealing anyone good from the MLB roster (maybe Q if they're blown away?). I would be ok dealing any prospect not named Fulmer or Anderson as I see any move that will be made to be more likely a quantity over quality deal. If we can get a bat for the price of Montas, Micah, Hawkins(, Michaelczewski if its a 3B back) I would pull the trigger in a heartbeat.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 12:08 PM) The Astros drafted so well they were able to pass on Kris Bryant and Carlos Rodon. Yeah imagine how good they would be if they had taken those two.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 6, 2015 -> 02:01 PM) It's amazing how Theo is great, Maddon is great, the Cubs, the Cubs, the Cubs... Theo was hired in December 2011. This is the first year since 2009 the Cubs have won as many games as the 2015 White Sox. Now, the future is promised. No chance of failure. They were 3rd in their division. Their lowest total attendance during this stretch would be top 5 all time for the White Sox. To be fair, Theo did come out and basically say at the time, we're gonna suck for 3-4 years so be patient. At least that front office had/has a plan and are on the same page.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 6, 2015 -> 07:54 AM) Of course, at that time NY was even bigger and you had three teams sharing it, with Boston and Philly not too far away. The biggest purpose of those moves, of course, was opening up California for MLB. Unless they move to another country (Cuba, Mexico, S.Korea or Japan), the White Sox are unlikely to be relocated inside the US. Hasn't there been talk of moving a team back to Montreal or another city in Canada in recent years?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2015 -> 08:08 AM) 15th in payroll 20th in record 26th in attendance 30th in TV ratings Sounds like we deserve a competitive balance pick....

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 01:21 PM) Barry Davis ‏@SNBarryDavis 20h20 hours ago Buehrle finds it funny how many people have already reported that he's retiring. That decision won't be made until off season. #bluejays lol I literally thought this at one point yesterday. I have yet to see any quote from Buehrle that says he is retiring. I wouldn't be surprised if he pitches one more year with the Sox or Cardinals.

They definitely aren't going to rebuild. I think they will finally fill that hole at third with a good solution. It's been a revolving door since Crede left.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 10:34 AM) LOL. Completely agree. Not happening. Think more along the lines of Ben Zobrist and possible trades. Agree. What does everyone think it would take to get Longoria? Danish, Montas, Anderson, Michaelczewski? The only way I'd deal someone like Anderson was if it was for someone with lots of control left

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 08:21 AM) I would love to see Puig as a White Sox. It's the one Caulfield obsession that actually makes sense. Yep. Stick him in RF. I just don't know what they would do with Avi. Deal him somewhere for another young player who has struggled a bit (either a pitcher or infielder)?

What about Puig + pitching prospect for Quintana? I love Q, but the team needs hitting but I think he is more valuable than Puig so I'd like for them to grab a prospect in a deal with the Dodgers.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 06:22 PM) I don't understand the keen interest in Heyward. This team desperately needs another power hitter. The Sox don't need another outfielder. Cabrera, Eaton and Thompson/Garcia should have the outfield covered. Spending all that money on a guy who hit about the same as Eaton, in what was the best year of his career, makes no sense to me. Why not go after someone like Chris Davis, if the front office was really to spend that kind of money? Where is Davis going to play? Abreu is at first and LaRoche will be the DH.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) Kinda funny how many people including here said why did the Rangers get Hamels at the deadline when they were 50-52. This is why Just imagine when they have Darvish back next season...and pretty amazing that Angels are paying all that money for Hamilton to beat them. Rangers are paying what $4 mill over next 2 seasons? Didn't Beckham just make $2 mill this year? lol

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 05:54 PM) Yes. IIRC, they were under $500k left before they hit the penalty phase and lost out on two years worth of signings. Well good then. Let's all hope they come out guns blazin next July.

I'm just curious here, but if the Sox spent the $2.5 (or a little higher to get him like 2.6), would that have put them over their limit for this year where they would be penalized?

I'm completely open to giving Heyward a 7/8 year deal with an opt-out clause after year 4 when he is 30 to give him a chance at another contract. With that that kind of contract, could they possibly backload it? If he opts out, that probably means he worked out well for us.

Assuming Garcia and LaRoche are back next year, Trayce will be the righty part of a platoon with LaRoche with Avi/Garcia getting some DH at bats (at least, starting off that way. If he hits and takes a job away, that role could be Avi's at some point).

That ending....wow
