  1. Imagine there's no offense....it's easy if you try.
  2. A baserunner can steal a base during a foul tip in baseball because the ball remains liveIt's similar to a swing and miss, so baserunners can advance at their own risk without needing to tag up.
  3. White Sox losses used to piss me off....then White Sox losses would mildly annoy me....now White Sox losses just happen.
  4. It was late in the season in 2003 and the Sox were still in the hunt for the playoffs, so I bought tickets for myself and my Dad to go see a home game against the hated Yankees in late September. The White Sox then fell apart but we still went to the game 9/23/03 and saw the Yankees clinch their division on the South Side. The winning pitcher for the Yankees was one Jose Contreras and as we watched him dominate my Dad said, "Boy, I sure wish the Sox had a guy like this." The next season, I was driving back from a visit to Milwaukee with my wife and son and turned on the news to get traffic....they announced that the Sox had traded Esteban Loaiza to the Yankees and that was all they said, so I yelled back at the radio..."FOR WHO?" I soon found out for who and immediately called my Dad to tell him he got his man.
  5. Just checked the box score...I think there is a strong argument to be made that Getz should be fired solely on the basis of giving Brebbia $4 million.....actually $5.5 mill since there is a buyout for that option year.
  6. What we actually have is apathy which is much worse than outrage.
  7. Opening up the Catching position is a precursor to bringing back TA.
  8. That's a great idea for the next AppleTV game.
  9. You apparently missed the news that they signed Nick Senzel.....and I never joke.
  10. Well, that's assuming they don't turn it around in the 2nd half, Timmy. ?
  11. It is especially frustrating that next year is supposedly a great draft year and we are picking 10th. Here's a question...will they be the 10th pick in every round next year or will they have a higher pick in the 2nd round and onward?
  12. The Sox will sign Nick Solak and we will have a game featuring an all Nicky OF....Solak in Left, Senzel in Center....Lopez in Right. Not as good as the Tres Garcias but ok. Alternatively, they lure Delmonico out of his coaching gig to take one of the Nicky spots.
  13. Senzel will pull an Elvis and hit for a few months.....then they'll resign him for next season and he will suck. Oh, maybe I should've posted this in the 2nd half predictions thread.
  14. My wife is not one to be too silly but one of her moments is whenever we drive past the sign on the highway and she calls out "minoooooooooka". I have no idea why she does that, but it's fun.
  15. In some ways is Day 2 of the draft more important for this organization that needs to build minor league depth?
  16. Is Cags officially a beast if we draft him or only if we don't draft him?
  17. You can't teach "Konerko like" speed.
