Hoping Cespedes and/or Soler sign today. I'd imagine it will be soon if not today. Concepcion is close to signing from what I hear too.

In 1967.

Gotcha:r I always thought you were Cubs only. Which team do you root for in a Cubs/Tigers WS? Don't say both:D

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Grew up in Detroit, but Mom was from the North side of Chicago.

Even though I'd love to see the Cubs win a WS after 100+ years of misery, if they are playing Detroit, I gotta go with the Tigers.

Blackhawks - RedWings would be the exact opposite. :r

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

I have an idea, let me know what you think Tom... Chicago really only needs one MLB team, so let's merge the Cubs with the Sox, dissolve bad contracts/managment, and consolidate the balance sheet and income statements. That would give the White Sox some serious cash for players:r:r Also, you would never have to worry about a Cubs-Tigers WS.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

And wasn't that good even then.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Phillies sign Juan Pierre to a minor league deal. Another great move by the Phils.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Juan can't field worth crap.. His speed is still there, and I know he's a team player and he always busts his a$$, I just cry whenever I see him in left for the Sox:r

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

And have the Sox play at Wrigley? :noon

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

I'm fine with that if this merger were to happen:D

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

And bring back Dusty Baker?

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

If you brought back Shoeless Joe, you might have something. :D

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

If I build it, he will come?

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Dusty is fine.. Shoeless Joe comes though.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Just got a text saying the Sox signed Kosuke Fukudome:gary

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

The Twins have always been my team. Now, I don't really ever expect anything from them...because, well, you all probably know. They do alright every year, just never anything spectacular. We had Thome, he hit his 500th HR and then traded him. I believe he wanted to go, though?

This year we got Mastrionni from the Jays.

We're also processeing 18 year old Miguel Sano. This kid is just awesome. Last season he hit .292, slugged 20 home runs and drove in 59 runs.

Another reason we need him, Luke Hughes sprained his shoulder pretty badly.

Any other Twins fans? Or am I alone...as always hahahaha

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Thome hit his 500th for the White Sox, I was at the game:D
Thome had maybe 1 or 2 good years left in him after he left the Sox.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

My bad, all I remember is that it was a pretty landmark thing that happened right before or right after his departure.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Yeah he hit #500 late in the 2007 season. It was a walk off too.. I had plans later in the evening so we were just about to get up and leave the park when he hit it. Glad we stayed.

Thome hit #600 with the Twinkies, so maybe that's what you're thinking.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

TWINKIES?! :gary

That's the number I was looking for :tu

Must have not been thinking :sh
