Bizarre OT: Chris Sale disapproves of the White Sox throwback digs
https://sports.yahoo.com/news/chris-sale-scratched-from-start-following… I'm a Tigers fan but I liked Chicago's jerseys in the 80s and still enjoy seeing them in throwback games. I guess they aren't for everybody.
What is he?
A fucking two year old?

I don't even follow baseball and I know the answer to your question is "yes"...just sucks that he's so freaking good, cause the guy is a douche in every sense of the word.
There is a lot that Chris Sales does not like.
He just sounds like someone who detests "uniformz" as much as some people here do. Maybe they were a crappy fit and he felt they would alter his thorowing motion. At any rate, I think this is hilarious. Glad he won't be facing the Tigers, too.
Sounds like an MGoBlogger
An MGoBlogger on MGoBlog?
Well, that is unexpected. Wonder how it affects any potential trade talks. Does a Major League team want to take on that type of behavior?
if you can get chris sale, you get chris sale
5-7 prospects according to ESPN. I'd want a grown up for that kind of investment.
"Regardless, it’s noted that the incident should have no impact on his trade status one way or the other."
Yup, he's an elite pitcher and teams will not be affected by it at all especially if they need a ring

Word leaked from the Rangers was that they were pursuing Chris Sale, however, during the Rangers broadcast last night they mentioned that Jon Davis believed Sale was no longer a viable option for the Rangers.
I'd imagine that has a lot to do with the asking price from the White Sox. They want at least 3-4 of the Rangers prospects and Mazara and/or Profar. That's just way too much of the future to give up for one guy, and they already gave up quite a bit last year for Hamels.
and he'll be some other team's problem in a few days.
Hopefully he isn't Cleveland's problem. I couldn't take them getting two Championships in a single year.
Those were some hideous throwbacks, though.
Entitled, disgruntled, total asshole? Which is it?
Product of Florida
This story needs more cocaine.
With a sense of entitlement throwing a temper tantrum over something trivial. Never would have seen that coming.
This is a bummer as a White Sox fan. I haven't followed baseball closely for several years and barely ever see them play, but something like this definitely makes me lose a lot of respect for our best player.

But where was Chris Sale when we needed him the most, right before the 2011 football game against Michigan State?
Is he trying to destroy his trade value because he wants to stay in Chicago for some reason?
Guy must really like a salad on top of his hot dog.
Yes, I just said the Chicago Dog is total BS. Because it is.
Chicago style hot dogs suck and the 'pizza' is worse. Not the Chicago style pizza most people think is Chicago style but the real Chicago style you get at Genos East. Total garbage. I lived in Chicago after college and went to Genos with friends. Two 'pizzas' and two pitchers and our bill was over 100 bucks. The beer was finsihed but 90% of the garbage 'pizza' remained and not boxed up to take home. Total garbage.
I mean, I appreciate Chicago-style deep dish and all... But it's a casserole. Don't call that thing a pizza. If done right, it's tasty. If done wrong, it's purely unedible slop.
You mean there's a hot dog underneath all that salad? /s
I prefer simple hot dogs. My 2 cents. Your mileage may vary, I know.
Or at the very least, cover that meat product with more meat product.
You were doing it wrong. I've lived in Chicago for a decade and the hot dogs and pizza are some of the best in the world. Just have to not be an asshole to enjoy them.
Gino's I find to be the worst, easily, of the deep dish places the tourists go. Lou's is best.
Pequod's is even better, but isn't where tourists go since it's up in Lincoln Park not near the El.
Chicago dogs are the best. Especially from Portillos.
If you're going to Portillos and not getting the Italian Beef, you're doing it wrong. See:
It was just a prank bro
He cut up his jersey like a little kid and lost a start.
No he's referring to YouTubers who go around and do stupid social experiments that make people mad.
What a jerk. I say that tomorrow he gets to wear this gem....
Broadcast team made it sounds like these were what he cut up. They had to switch to the 80s throwbacks because he destroyed so many of the collared jerseys.
It wasn't the uni they wore tonight, it was the navy one with the collars. Think 70's shorts style uni.

Digs?
Sale asked not to wear those uniforms on the day he pitched because they're uncomfortable to him. Well, the Sox decided to wear them anyway so he was pissed. I don't think Sale was wrong for asking not to wear them, but he's always been a bit of a ticking time bomb. Him running around all Edward Scissorhands really doesn't surprise me.
Million dollar talent.
Ten cent head.
He likely didn't like the way pullover versus button up feel in his sidearm delivery. Totally reasonable for a pitcher on my opinion if it alters his delivery and potentially avoids an injury.
1st World Problem
Isn't it fairly standard practice in the MLB that the starting pitcher has the say in what uniform the team wears?
That being said... Yeesh.
Yes.

That is the first time I have ever heard that.
kinda wish someone for Michigan had done that with some of the horrible adidas uniforms we were stuck with.
Football doesn't have a pitcher, silly goose.
Yup. Perfectly reasonable to cut up the entire teams jerseys while they are taking BP because they are uncomfortable. Wow.

Oops. Didn't mean to reply to yours -- must've tapped the wrong place. My bad.
