White Sox sign Leury Garcia to 3 year deal
I hear reports that he is going to play a deep 2nd and shallow right at the same time. We didn't have any money left for a right fielder after this signing, so leury gets to play 2nd and right at the same time.

AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER CARLOS RODON NO HITTER EDITION!!!!!
Maybe one day we will let Grandal catch a no-no too.

Tony La Russa named Manager
If the AL manager of the year can lose the world series by taking Snell out too early. And the Astros go deep into the Playoffs with a last minute Baker at the helm instead of everybodys favorite candidate, Hinch. There's not much a manager can do to make your team win. They mostly there to just take the blame for your losses. So I believe the only way La Russa can hurt this team is by being old. Not because he will fall asleep, but because he may scare off free agents who are ageists. Because players win games and we need more players.

Wild Card playoff thread Sox at A's Game 1 - First Pitch at 2 PM CT
The girl announcing is basically the one person at ESPN willing to hype the Sox and seems to have done her reasearch. Give her some slack.

7/28 Sox/Indians Double Header thread
McCann was going to have to catch since they took grandal out anyways. Unless I missed something.

7/28 Sox/Indians Double Header thread
Why was Delmonico on deck and not McCann? I think I saw that right.

7/28 Sox/Indians Double Header thread
McCann has caught our only good start of the year. Grandal hasn't caught any.

Sox sign Guyer to Minor League Deal
So this is why we got Yonder. Fans thought it was to entice Manny, but instead, it attracted our real target all along. Well played Hahn. Can't wait to see who Jay was really brought in here to entice.

ST OPENER!!
The Slowskys are really enjoying this game.

Who do you want as the new manager?
If we insist on hiring a Spanish speaking former White Sox Player, then I want Jose Valentin. a) our base running will improve b) I miss the Jose chant c-z) Mustache

Dayan Viciedo Watch
QUOTE (Paulstar @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 11:52 PM) Well, he will probably get called up soon if the attendance continues to go south. At the very most he will only take up 2 seats, the stadium will still appear to be empty.

Hawk?
QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 10:48 PM) The last 5 days I have been getting home in about the 7th inning and I noticed that Hawk has not been on all this time. I'm sure that something was posted here as to what happened to him, but I wasn't sure where to look without going through multiple threads and hundreds of posts. Thanks! He's at Joe West's house, just waiting for him to get home

Sox @ Indians
QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 04:37 PM) Ozzie now saying Manny might rest tomorrow because of his late night flight, but will consult with Manny himself. I don't know much about playoff roster eligibility, but Manny just needs to be on the roster by tomorrow, right? No at bats or appearances necessary?

Leslie Anderson Signs with Rays
Baseball-reference shows a birth year of 1982, which would put him at 28 to begin the season. Who knows how old he is, it's pretty hard to convert Cuban years. I'm still for signing him.

Peavy claims to be ready
If you can still get hurt during minor league starts and bullpen sessions, why not just start for the major league club. Heck if he goes 1.1 innings, he will have doubled Carlos Torres. As long as he is not throwing 60 mph, he should be starting for us. Or at the very least he could be our opener once or twice a week.(btw an opener is a real position in my head, it is basically a second closer who pitches the first inning of games and sets the tone, and it won't be long until every team has one)

Hawk's 2009 Quotes
Am I the only one who has stopped caring how much Stone Poney's lovely wife, Lisa, loves Taco Bell? Also, I may have missed something, but is there any reason behind hawk wanting to be reincarnated as an eye drop salesman?

MARK BUEHRLE PITCHES THE 18TH PERFECT GAME IN HISTORY
He throws a perfect game and gets congratulated by getting his name spelled wrong by the masses on Twitter. P.S. The post game show on CSN was longer than the game.

MARK BUEHRLE PITCHES THE 18TH PERFECT GAME IN HISTORY
