[Spunky Porkstacker]

I believe I was the only one on this board to rightly call the Sox who they are.

A great big #calledit for Brett

I'll take it even if it's sarcasm.

A fourth place team?

I don't remember it that way.

I called them a third place team but I would have to check to be sure on our prediction board. I was the only one to call 23-10 smoke.

Wow, top comment. Now I see why our White Sox board is so popular.

Hey look Rask, you drove in some traffic. My apologies.

I think Shields has earned his salary and performed at a solid #4 level. He has lived up to his big game reputation, performing better and keeping us in games against some top opponents.

As for Brett, you were wrong about everything but are already covering with some kind of propaganda narrative where you were spot on. Neverending parroting me to exhaustion arguing about our chances in the division...we land exactly where I said we would...and then you are taking credit.

I don't really care, I'm just surprised and exhausted and don't really have the time to argue.

Whatever helps your version of reality in the world you believe you live in.

This guy makes Edwin Jackson look like a top of the rotation pitcher

Your God was kept inside a box, in a tent, where only the "holy priests" were allowed to talk to the box and receive the instructions from God himself.

just so we are keeping facts straight, who laid into me for saying we needed a bullpen arm or two back in pre-season? (a catcher, a starter, and a lefty was the rest of my wish list to contend).

I was told here the bullpen was awesome, yet we blew like 15 saves, and lost about 20 1 run games. A good closer and sox were in this thing.

Everyone knew this was going to be a shitty trade before it went down.

We literally just got done with Danks' contract, and we traded for another one LOL.

 

[brett05]

Welcome back Czar

The contract is a lot better than Danks and basically gets paid for by the Padres and the non-signing of LaRoche.

Man oh man, this thread is epic.

Forgot about that one, OUCH! That's about 30 repeated kicks to the nads.

 

[nickofypres]

Yeah, it sucks. But when he was shipped off he hadn't played one inning of professional baseball. Nobody knew what he was, plus its no guarantee he's that good if the Sox developed him.

Yes he likely would be that good. He's a rare talent that the Sox gave up for a bum.
