Our lineup would be so bad without Abreu. In your hatred of him do you realize how hard it's been on him for years with such a pathetic lineup and so little protection around here? Do you realize how tough it is to hit year after year when the team blows so badly? Just give Abreu his $$$s and forget about it. Better he get some money than Jerry pocket even more.

This is why guys like Hahn (prior to Eloy's emergence) still has a job. A good majority of fans like losing and tanking. Of course I've changed my opinion on Hahn since it's obvious he got one of the best hitters ever (if he can stay healthy) in Eloy. But tanking is so great for GMs. Gives them year after year of losing with fans not upset. Got to win, baby, as Al Davis said.

Todd Ritchie, Dan Wright, Gary Glover in 2002; Phil Humber, Liriano, Danks, Peavy in 2012.

Cmon. Don't turn on Collins. He's played 2-3 games for gosh sakes. Remember how bad Robin Ventura was when he first came up? Collins obviously has some talent. He's a catcher. He's not going to hit for average. Hopefully he has some power and draws a lot of walks for the on base percentage fanatics. What has he done to deserve this scorn and fans not believing in him? This is a game, folks, not life and death. Give Collins A Chance, thank u.

Bad take. Very bad. Got to have the netting. in this day and age of home run or nothing, the ball is zipping off the bat to where only Superman can survive some of these laser beams!

I do not understand and never will. "Flipping Colome" does nothing for me. He's having a good year. I'd like him to keep saving games for the Sox. I love how modern statpeeps now say the save is a meaningless stats. I guess only WAR really matters right? How un-fun baseball is becoming. And if saves mean nothing why would anybody give up anything for Colome? Tell me his secondary stats that are so tradeably great, I'm sure you will and I'm sure they are there. But no ... I see no reason to trade him so we can add some pieces to our future team. I don't care. I care about winning now and in the future.

Collins with the HR; Eloy; Ricky proving he knows baseball. White Sox win.

That sucks. People should be able to go out for lunch and they pretty much can't if the boss is a clock watcher. Again ... how can you pull it off in Chicago. Let's say at 11:58 you go to the restroom amid dirty looks from the boss since you are ripping him off two minutes. Then you leave and are on the downtown street. You see a Subway as today you want something quick. There are 10 people in line. You get your food at 12:25. You gulp it down and return to the office at 12:50. Yay! I made it. Now you want to meet friends at a sit down place. You leave your desk at 11:58 for the bathroom stop. You hit the streets of Chicago at 12. You walk 5 blocks to meet friends at a sitdown place. You have a reservation. The waiter comes by at 12:20. No way in hell u are gonna make it back to work by 1. And if you don't have a reservation, totally forget it. I don't know how you all do it.

Nope they are 3 trades. The decision to not bring in any immediate talent and tanking is the rebuild part of it.

He's finished as Royals fans will tell you. Does nothing well. Can't steal bases, doesn't draw a lot of walks, is not very good.

Geez. Supervisors like this are the scum of the business world. The 8 to 5 world in an office is really bad. And even an hour for lunch isn't enough if you want to be a human being in downtown Chicago. You have to leave work, find a place to eat without a long wait. No way you can pull that off in an hour. Where does everybody dine?

Those are certainly some good stories.

Since we don't like to trade established players, re-sign Avi. Case closed.

Nah. Just cause we've had some nice wins this year doesn't mean we have a good team. I think most all of us on here would need to make 3-4 acquisitions to get this team to play .580 or .600 ball. Right now we are a .480 to a .425 type team, not a .500 team.

We play like the .480 team we are (so far).

McCann: 3 year extension 8 mill a year. Do it.

Timmy with a dumb play. Abreu and/or McCann might light one up.

I said 4 years 16 mill a year just cause i'm mad at Jerry and would be OK with nice guy Jose getting some of his money. But I'm more like 12 or 13 mill a year for 3 years.

Sox have been real pests to the first-place Cubs. We not exactly going away.

Gio having a bad game but still whiffing tons of batters. Modern baseball: Strike out or home run.

He's been lousy but it's too early to start the parade of mediocre relievers.

I still like baseball, but what's with all the homers this year?

This is cool. We are all united in blaming the umps. Sox had a nice inning. The umps hosed us.

Why no rain delay? Radar look good?

That call blows.
