Thunder

White Sox aren't giving him away. He's the guy they're rebuilding around

Part 1 of that plan is the hardest part

Now it's starting to hit me... Feels weird going to bed knowing the season's over. Every day for 6 months we wake up with the anticipation of game day then all of a sudden it's done

Or bad eyes, ya old man

Cleveland's doomed. I never felt confident with a team that blows a lead on the road, even if the deciding game is at home. Just ask the Guardians last year. Up 3-1 in the World Series, although they lost Games 6 and 7 at home

I would like to see Hosmer as well, but at the same time, I want to re-sign Moreland. J.D. Martinez would be a great fit (I think), but where does he play? I don't want to break up our outfield under any circumstances. Dump Young, Holt, and Fister. Go into the season with a innings limit on Price and Sale

Well, he we are at the end of the season, and I'm not sure what to think. Unlike last year, I think we went up against a better team, and we scratched out a win in the series. Like last year, however, we came into October not quite playing our best. This year, though, we had far more inconsistencies, especially on the offensive side, so it will be an interesting offseason in terms of what personnel is acquired. Down years from Bogaerts and JBJ really plagued us, but it's still too early in their careers to determine if last year was a career year offensively, or if it is what can be expected of them. I think Vazquez needs to be given the role of day-to-day catcher, with Leon coming in periodically to give rest, like a day game after a night game sort of deal. If he really wants to be great, he has to learn how to catch Sale, which I thought he did a pretty good job of today. It took all year to convince me, but I finally agree that Farrell has to go. I think those of you that have been providing evidence to why his pitching decisions cost us games at some points are valid. As for the fact of the season being over, it just hasn't seemed to sink in yet, but I find myself feeling that a lot. Last year really hurt. Watching Papi come out onto that field one last time was so chilling and made me so emotional because of the fact that it represented the end of my childhood, since Big Papi was the last player that I couldn't remember a time before he was on the Red Sox. I feel content with this ending. Yeah, it sucks, and for much of the game today, I knew that if we won, we were likely going to win game 5, but in hind sight, we won a game, and even me, the passionate optimist, couldn't see a realistic way that the Red Sox won this series. They accomplished what I expected them do, nothing more, nothing less, so I'm contented. The Yankees really were the better team in the AL East. We got away with winning the AL East. I don't even think the Wild Card game would've been a guarantee had we been put in that situation. Now, I don't care much for Hot Stove talk, so I usually take a break from Talksox in the offseason, checking in periodically just to show myself. But, we'll see how these next few weeks go. I've learned a lot from many of you this season, so it might be worth sticking around to gather a perspective on some of the moves we make as we make them, or even before we make them. Finally, I want to say I was wrong about Chris Sale. Before the season started, I kept saying that Chris Sale was a clubhouse cancer, and that he would cause team morale to self-destruct and force a quick exit in the playoffs. It was a fairly quick exit, but this season, I fell in love with Chris Sale, and I can't wait to see him again on Opening Day.

Alright, I'm headed out. Hold down the fort

Nah, she's one of those "Sports is a waste of time" people

It's the only class I have that isn't a 200+ person lecture, so my attendance is actually recorded

WHy do I have to leave soon?

I would like this version of McCann go back to the Yanks

He's got his slider back!!!!!!!!!!

Let's go... One more

Ha, Gattis is jackknifing on a pitch that caught the plate

Not the time mijo

The roar for that HR had to have been as loud as the Papi grand slam in the 2013 ALCS

Don't let us win game 4

Glad we got the lead BEFORE I have to leave for class in 30 min

Let's f***ing GOO!!!!!!!!

Arguing balls and strikes. Came into save Pedey, and well, it went South from there

We can hit Verlander

Charlie Morton for Cy Young, amirite

See now Morton's settled down, so we got problems

See, you're just clueless. You're so pessimistic, you're losing sight of what's happening in the game.
