Other Chicago & General Sports Thread XLIII - Cubs trade for bullpen help

[Putt Pirate]

I see Strop and I hide under my bed.

 

[HeisenBaez]

That's not an unreasonable request.

I know ppl have compared gallo to Chris Davis but he closer to Russ branyan, IMO. For the rangers to have a chance two of Brinson, Tate or Ortiz needs to be in the deal to be worth it.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

He's not closer to Russell Branyan. Branyan was never nearly as good defensively and didn't have that power.

Chris Sale scratched from his start tonight.

Chris Sale scratched from his start tonight.

Matt Albers will start. Another throw away game by management in a huge game against a division rival.

 

[Blue Liner]

Throw away game by management? Elaborate.

 

[Sarava]

Getting scared he is getting moved. Better not be to the Cubs

 

[IU Hawks fan]

They're all throwaway games, the season is over.

 

[Sarava]

Ok he seems to have the flu. Scare is over

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Reports saying the flu report is false now as well.

 

[Blue Liner]

Chris Sale, scratched by #WhiteSox today, is not believed to be ill, according to two sources. - John Morosi on Twitter.

 

[TLEH]

Sale on the move. Makes too much sense.

 

[TLEH]

As a Cubs fan, I am an on looker, Sox guys, are you liking the Red Sox packages that you have heard or Rangers ones better. I am not that high on Gallo so I think the Red Sox package looks/sounds better.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Guy who broke the Shields deal

White Sox Dave doesn't have the inside scoop on this one, its serious. He always has his info first, even before Heyman and all them. He called the Tim Anderson call up before anyone, Fulmer before anyone, Shields before anyone. I really think Sale is going.

edit: BOOOOOOO just a clubhouse incident.


Wanted it to be true so bad lol. Talked myself into it.


edit: x2. Still, he said a month ago that he didn't want to be traded, maybe they approached him with some options/ideas they were looking at and he freaked out on them. Said it was non physical.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

But wait...

 

[Blue Liner]

Wonder what hell this is about.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Weird...

 

[Sarava]

I wonder if he told KW off again. I hope so

 

[TLEH]

Mookie Betts also scratched tonight due to "knee soreness"

 

[TLEH]

I wonder if he told KW off again. I hope so

after thinking about the statement and the situation and him asking not to be traded a month ago, I agree. I want him to be traded so bad for some drama. No hockey is really dragging me down this summer lol

 

[clydesdale line]

Getting scared he is getting moved. Better not be to the Cubs

Unless they are including Russell, they don't have enough.

And it was cause of a clubhouse incident. Not surprising with Sale. Probably told KW to **** off and not trade his buddies.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Mookie Betts also scratched tonight due to "knee soreness"

The BoSox aren't moving Betts in season for Sale.

 

[TLEH]

The BoSox aren't moving Betts in season for Sale.

and the Sox don't wanna move Sale unless its for a Kings Ransom. Something gotta give if he actually moves. I'm not saying its smart, but who knows. Dombrowski is a loose cannon when it comes to the TDL.
