I love listening to these guys. Brings me back to my childhood. I started watching Sox games with Hawk and DJ in the booth. I think Ed and DJ compliment each other very well and I hope they both stay on for a while longer.

wtf

This whole thing is going nowhere fast

Sarcastic much? lol

Beginning? Nah, I would say dead in the middle, but not the beginning.

Nice analysis there. If Machado does end up making our dreams come true, this is going to shock all of baseball nation, and totally changes the dynamic of this team in so many different ways, all positively.

I would be completely fine with a platoon of Palka and Avi for a year. Hit Palka vs righties (gives him plenty of chances to prove that he is the real deal with the vast majority of starters being right handed) and Avi can hit against lefties, which is good because he mashes lefties and he can't sustain a full season anyway, so the limited workload he would see would probably be beneficial for him.

Well, a lot of people here think he will sign in the next week or 2, so I guess we will find out soon if this is true. Fingers crossed.

We don't deserve anything. We are fans following a team. We CHOOSE to give them our support. We don't work for them. They don't owe us anything.

Someone's having a shitty Monday

Thanks, hoping it's Sunday...won't be able to catch it if it's a Saturday game.

So if Bears win this and play Eagles, what time and what day do they play?

BuehrleWood care to elaborate??

We're in the thick of the Holiday season. I would be shocked if any signings happened between now and New Years Day, let alone the big guys.

How the hell would he know? Quotes from who? This is beginning to look a lot like the major news media outlets where everyone makes up stories to cater to their agenda.

You won't do it

So does this mean the Sox will no longer be on WGN after 2019?

Except DH isn't really a position. You're playing for what, 10-15 minutes of the entire game? I'd hate it too if I was in the MLB and under 35 years old...

How sweet it will be when/if he signs with the Sox and can blow away all the haters.

Not gonna lie, the McCann and Alonso deals are kind of kick in the balls after all the Harper hype...

I remember on one of the soxtalk podcasts, they had mentioned that a very respected and successful pitcher said there is only about 3 very good framers in the entire game. You can put everyone else in the same category. I understand the importance of it, especially with our young pitchers, but I don't think it's as a big of a deal as people think, as probably 90 percent of the teams are in the same boat as the Sox.

I would be my house that Nobody knows anything. I would bet Not even Harper knows who he wants yet. I would also bet the Sox get something big. No idea when it will happen. This is literally all speculation.

How many dudes in the game are named Tanner...

Can't speak for St Louis or Cleveland, but have been to Milwaukee and Detroit multiple times. Neither places are shitholes. They definitely have those areas you don't want to wander into, but they are great cities. Especially Detroit, which is slowly building back up and has so much culture. The people there are so friendly.

What a shame. Tulo was such a good player. I honestly forgot he was in the league
