Someone just pissed in Sox fans cheerios!

It is too bad after watching him versus the Tigers last week he looked like a top of the rotation stud as soon as next season.

Wow, that just fucking blows. I'm beginning to think the Sox are the ones with the billy goat curse.

I am honestly devastated by this news. As a fan, I'm finding it very difficult to cope with this or put it into some kind of perspective.

I need to pretend the White Sox don't exist for a while. Football beginning makes that doable.

Damn... just... damn

well, he should come back full strength starting the 2020 season so while he will be missed i'm not sure it affects the sox's prospects really unless you really think they will compete next year ... which i certainly don't. it all depends on how he comes back. some damn good pitchers have had it and were still great afterwards so .... it's crappy news but not altogether devastating. his attitude seems to be pretty good and that helps plus prospects of a complete recovery are around risen to around 90%. i guess we'll see what he's made of.

amazing fact. tommy john was the first person to have tommy john surgery but lou gehrig was NOT the first person to have lou gehrig's disease.
ok .... not THAT amazing.

225 hitter who strikes out over once per game.

CF hitting 250 in A ball minors...also strikes out over once per game.

Relief pitcher buried on the bench in A ball...but in his brief appearances rocking an almost 7 ERA.

And just to stick it in my craw as Chicago sports like to do: The cherry on top...Kerry Wood lite.

We destroyed Boston...sending them that bum with the era under 2 that averages over a strikeout per inning.

Nothing to argue. We're OFFICIALLY out now 2 seasons of CY Young caliber pitching and rotting in the dumpster of the MLB with, thus far, pretty much nothing in return. That's the reality as of this moment. Just like the turtle told Kung Fu Panda. "Today is our gift, that is why we call it the present."

Cubs fans do like the whole "better luck next year" idea though and eventually it worked out for them....so you do have that going for you. *fist bump*

this has been rehashed so many times it's ridiculous. you want to lament we gave up a great pitcher ... that's your right. but with him we'd still be right where we are and only looking forward to losing him at the end of his contract .... and getting nothing in return. no matter how you cut what we gave up, we HAD to give that up for the future's sake. to suggest 'nothing in return' is ludicrous at this point. because in a couple years you very well may have to swallow your words.
so make you cub references all you want .... it doesn't change a thing.

and btw, your use of a kung fu panda cartoon tells me a lot. it was a play on words meant to elicit laughter. the 'gift of today' is NOT the reason we refer to the present as ... well, the present.

RE: The bold: No...It doesn't. But you do you cuz I'm gonna keep doing me.

I like where you make up sudden rules that we'd be in the same spot with or without Sale...No...We'd be better the past 2 years. Period. It's not even close to a question.

And that he would have to be gone when his contract is up. Really? You just prognosticated that from your crystal ball? The reality is our management wrecked our relationship with Sale...not losing...which was retarded. So you're arguing from a standpoint of "well, we f*cked up so we had to....."....And yes, that's the point. We f*cked up. HUGE. Like, setting us years back huge...and the proof is right in front of us...right now. We've been told a lot with the past and our present predicament. That's the real point. All that's being piloted here by you is hypothetical as a cover for excuses.

We blew it so bad. Nice job Sox. *thumbs up* It's gonna be a few more years beyond your hypothetical years of recovery. So buckle up. Maybe...MAYBE...they'll make up for it somehow with some saving grace moves in the next year or two...There's always that hope I guess. But ain't nobody on this planet fooled when you hock off your own homegrown talent once they become good. Sh*t teams do that-or, sadly, small market teams. We are not the latter...so you do the math.

I'll give you another cartoon meme so that you can feel even more enlightened:

Jiddy, post:

And that he would have to be gone when his contract is up. Really? You just prognosticated that from your crystal ball? now you're just being an ass. common sense says he's gone as soon as his contract comes up. i don't think anyone needs a crystal ball to guess this and i think 95% of all sox fans would be in agreement.
The reality is our management wrecked our relationship with Sale...not losing...which was retarded. NOW who's making shit up? you have no clue what happened in that relationship. you just guess. ever think sale became an ass because he WANTED to leave?
So you're arguing from a standpoint of "well, we f*cked up so "we had to"....."....And yes, that's the point. We f*cked up. HUGE. Like, setting us years back huge...and the proof is right in front of us...right now. We've been told a lot with the past and our present predicament. That's the real point. All that's being piloted here by you is hypothetical as a cover for excuses. again, i think i have history on my side and you're the one who's guessing how it all went down. i don't argue the sox didn't fuck up. they've been fucking up for YEARS! the tack they took by trading sale, eaton and Q is the ONLY logical steps to take to help UNfuck the team! you'd still be salivating over sale and the sox would still be no better than third with him ... if that high. they'd still have the worst farm in the league, no third baseman, no second baseman and the same crap (or different names but the same caliber) we had everywhere else. or are you naive enough to think jr would suddenly start spending hundreds of millions buying up all the goof free agents? LOL!
We blew it so bad. Nice job Sox. *thumbs up* It's gonna be a few more years beyond your hypothetical years of recovery. So buckle up. again, you have no clue ... only you're own crystal ball. rather hypocritical of you, isn't it? Maybe...MAYBE...they'll make up for it somehow with some saving grace moves in the next year or two...There's always that hope I guess. But ain't nobody on this planet fooled when you hock off your own homegrown talent once they become good. Sh*t teams do that-or, sadly, small market teams. We are not the latter...so you do the math. this is what's called trying to cover your ass. so even if these trades ultimately work out you'll think you were right somehow. sad. OBVIOUSLY there will be more moves. either good ones or poor ones, time will tell. the REAL point is the trades were ALWAYS the ONLY way to get out of the toilet jr and kw lead us to.

I'll give you another cartoon meme so that you can feel even more enlightened keep your cartoon world to yourself. nobody cares.

I'll read that rant and respond eventually...I promise...but my eyes are bleeding. It's not you. It's me. No worries...We've got a few years of horrible baseball to distract ourselves from to hash this out.

fine ... but just so you know ... a point by point response is not a rant. a rant is like post #9 in this thread.

My only comment on this is it just seems like the air was removed from the White Sox hopes balloon the day it was learned that Kopech was going out on TJ surgery. They seem more now to just be going thru the motions. Like others, I wasn't expecting the Sox to be pounding next year on the playoff door, but at least Kopech would have had a full year under his belt to help work out the kinks and shit. We were in the makings of a formidable rotation. All we can do now is hope he's another Zack Burdi, who seems to be ahead of schedule after his TJ.

ok .... not THAT amazing.

Yep, 2019 is still a rebuild year. 2020 is when they make their move, sign FAs, etc.
