If we had Robert and Eloy in the lineup and picked up two free agent starters there's no reason we couldn't win this crap division.

They certainly are relying on a lot of players they drafted in the futuristic fans' beloved draft.

Is Shields pitching this year? With our staff as lousy as it is, I wouldn't mind seeing him give it a shot. Hell if we listed all the horrible fifth starters we've had in the Robin and Ricky eras we'd think Shields was Joe Horlen/Gary Peters/LaMarr Hoyt/Jack McDowell/Alex Fernandez/Mark Buehrle incarnated

I love Timmy completely. Should I forget about his walk totals? Are they pretty inconsequential? greg needs an education on whether I should care if Timmy walks much. GO SOX! Nice crowd today, fans. Take a bow.

Just checked the box score. Sometimes I like our team, but other times I wonder how we win a game. Do you realize we not only started Covey, but Delmonico, Castillo, Sanchez and Cordell were our 6 thru nine hitters?? With Alonso cleanup? That means our 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 hitters are all not only bad, but horribly bad. How have we won as many as we've won?? Geez.

It'd be cool to have a soxtalk fan forum where we all could get together and tape a 2 hour special arguing topics. Greg would vehemently argue against rebuilds and against tanking. The clock keeps ticking, ticking. Now it's a 6 year rebuild?? Wow. Credit the Sox for making money and lots of it in such a losing environment.

Great post. The grass is ALWAYS greener when it comes to White Sox veterans who have been White Sox a long time. We don't show 'em much love around these parts. There's always somebody better out there.

Sorry Mr. Engel. You sure try hard, but you can't hit. No shame in that. Hope you have a backup plan although you've probably made some good $$ already in the big leagues.

Interesting if Engel was sent down. That should be it for his career. Baseball can be cruel. Mr. Engel can sure field, but can't hit a lick. Another big league hopeful bites the dust (I realize nothing was expected of him as a 19th round pick).

It's not Abreu's fault he had to play here during the tank years.

That happens a lot to the White Sox. Very annoying.

Engel is no good but as long as we are trying to lose and we've got nobody else he does us no harm. I guess I have nothing against seeing what Tilson can do this time around.

I'm just glad he's been out of sight out of mind. Please DFA him, Sox.

I will say whoever made the decision to pitch Rondon in a 6-1 game the other night (Ricky or Coop) should be fired immediately. That's a mockery of the game of baseball. We can't come back from five down at home?? Sometimes I think Ricky has this team overachieving then that happened to anger me.

Tim has drawn two walks this series which is good. I love Timmy Anderson and think he'll be an all star this season.

It's easy, folks. Find the scouts who recommended Fulmer and you fire them. Is it that difficult?

It's very risky to buy a Sox ticket. You don't know which Sox you are going to get. One thing is for sure. We pissed the Red Sox off with the walk off and they've beat our ass the last 2 games with an automatic win Sunday. Bet the HOUSE on Boston and the over. Make some dough on what figures to be an automatic L.

Don't worry. As long as greg isn't banned Abreu will have a LOUD supporter on here to try to nullify any hate.

Damn in 3 years Tim Anderson will be quite the veteran player.

That's why I despise the draft and tanking for baseball's draft. What a joke.

Abreu has 32 RBI which is pretty damn solid. Poor guy can't play on a contender.

That was a bad game. Can't complain after last night, though. Also, Boston's active payroll is 165 million; Chicago's is 78 million.

On a lighter note, I'd encourage you to watch Machado on his homer against Kershaw tonight. He broke all the unwritten rules. I wonder if the Dodgers will hit somebody in the series. When he crossed the plate he did a whole dance act with hand signals/gestures with not one, but two teammates. Definitely worst than what Timmy did. Wonder if the Dodgers are mad or not. You know if you hit Manny he's coming out to the mound.

I'm out. Not in the mood to see us try to hit Sale. Hopefully my absence will again help us rally.

Stone is so good an analyst with Bennetti. I bet deep down he's so happy he doesn't have to try to get along with Hawk, who some games was OK later in his career, others very crabby.
