reiks12 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I'm not spending a dime on this team. I might be done with this franchise until it's sold, then I might come back. Later Soxtalk! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They continue to prove that they are unwilling to actually step up to the plate when it comes to acquiring the best of the best players. Dontrelle was awful. But you would have gotten a Hall of Famer in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I made my jersey for 2019... but unfortunately, the whitesox.com checkout page doesn't accept commodities and promissory notes as currency.. which, is how I thought the sox did business. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I wouldn't surprise me if the Sox were indeed out on Harper, but Nightengale's tweet doesn't mean anything. Its just as likely to be a plant from the Sox hoping the Phillies think they are in fact the only team in, as opposed to the Sox actually being out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vowing to not financially support this team next year. We are the die hards that have supported them when no casual fans would and we just arent going to do it anymore. Not a bad idea. Honestly, just send the link to the Machado thread. 20k+ posts, and almost 1M views saysall you need to say. Easily go go a step further with a well articulated letter from all of us how we are all cutting out games this season. If Jerry can pay up, neither can we. Enjoy an even emptier ballpark.

I'll pass the torch to an admin or whoever has some literature background. Would be a fun group project as a board to put together. And think it would be fun and interesting to start tagging sox writers like fegan, garfein, l. holmes etc as well as news outlets to drum up interest and coverage. I bet we could get a decent story out of the newspaper ad. I respect you BA but don't do it. Don't give Cub fans the satisfaction we are mad at our team. This anger will pass (Eloy).

Balta1701 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I am too far away to buy tickets at their park but I won’t be going to an astros white Sox game this year. I know that doesn’t matter but it’s something. More personally, this will be the first season I can remember, in more than at least 20 years, probably 30, that I won’t be wearing white Sox gear on opening day. Again they don’t care but that matters to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking yesterday that Harper was so happy since teams were going to get desperate and start a bidding war. However, now I see it as Harper may have to settle for less due to the lack of suitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time for Twitter BS has passed. The only time left is to actually make a real offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone here knows to not take anything that Nightengale says as gospel but at this point we know how this organization is operating this offseason and they're absolutely out on Harper. The rest of his tweet is just hilarious because it's the most White Sox thing of all time whether they're actually going for those guys or not.

The Padres came out of nowhere (although they were the mystery team). We may be out now, but things might change if the Phils try to get Harper for cheap.

The Phillies might try to save $10 million but they’re not stupid enough to lose out on that caliber of player over something so minor. They will know that $330 is likely a great deal for that player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'll probably go to 3 or 4 at the most. Even that's too many, but I love the Sox too much to not go to at least a few. Maybe just Eloy's debut and Cease's (home) debut. But knowing me, I'll come into free tickets or be bored on a random weekend night or asked if I want to tailgate one day and I won't hesitate. Dammit.

Dick Allen Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 bucket of suck said the White Sox really liked where they stood with Harper. Either he is also fake (my belief) or the White Sox really liked being out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrathofhahn Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I'm glad we were never really in on Harper. He'll get a 10 year deal and be a DH in a couple of years no thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Watch Harper and Boras have to sign for under $300 million now...with the Sox and Nats refusing to bid up his price. F#$& it, I hope it’s the Indians or Twins that signs him, because this front office needs to be kicked in the face about a dozen to realize the decimation they’re wreaking on the remaining members of the fanbase. (But at least we have stale ass Benetti jokes to look forward to for the next decade...that oughta take the edge off.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, they might as well have a guy like we had in the Quad Cities who runs around and takes foul balls away before the kids can get them...he was the most hated “character” in the park, The Roadrunner everyone called him. More fast pitch competitions in the dead of winter, that would still be won by Shingo Takatsu’s frisbee slurve...that might help serve as collective therapy.
