QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 21, 2017 -> 03:17 AM) How'd you like that I loved it. That ball exploded off his bat and kept rolling. 3-3 for Avi. Damn.

Just a single Avi. Another RBI please.

This could be a wild game. Pelphrey is eventually gonna get hit hard. I say Seattle scores six before game is over, but we should be able to win.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 21, 2017 -> 03:03 AM) Everything in me still says don't buy into Avi.....but it's hard not to. I don't know what the writers and broadcasters think of Avi the person, but I'm assuming he's a prince of a person if he nodded at the Soxtalk poster last night at the game. Also, just watching these games on mlb.com he's always hustled his ass off and has always seemed like he's cared even when butchering balls in right field. What I'm trying to say is ... buy into Avi. If he turns back into Beckham the rest of the season, he'll be gone forever. So root for this man now. It was his last chance this season and he's already earned his paltry little salary. BELIEVE IN AVI. He appears to be a guy worthy of rooting for! Avi baby!

The fact Avi nodded to the poster on here last night makes him one of my faves. Avi Garcia deserves credit no matter what happens the rest of the season. He's already had seven good weeks. People should be on the Avi bandwagon. If one of our young prospects was doing this, people would be having fits of joy. Avi baby! He's one of our best players so do you trade him? We traded Sale. We're gonna trade Q. He is our every day player version of those guys.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 20, 2017 -> 06:14 PM) So excited for Pelfrey and Covey to be out of this rotation. Pelphrey 0-4, 5.70. LOL. Any one of us could have predicted this type of stat line from him. And White Sox scouts and front office executives get this guy to be in the rotation?? Absurd. I mean trot anybody from our AA or AAA team out there, please. I mean if the Sox are publicly tanking or wink wink tanking tell me. But did anybody see Renteria hugging Herm Schneider after the win last night? That was not fake. So apparently we are trying to win. RELEASE PELPHREY for gosh sakes. It's an insult to baseball that he's pitching. Bring some guy in from ANYWHERE to replace him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 20, 2017 -> 07:36 PM) He promised better care, cheaper and covering everyone (at least those already with the ACA). Then he realized it was much more complicated to do so than he previously thought. So is everybody going to be covered or not? Did he flat out lie or not? I want facts not "gotcha" commentary. I want to make up my own mind but nobody can explain these issues a.) in regular simple English or b.) without hatred of Trump clouding the explanation. It's why sports are so fun. Despite the statniks telling me wins and losses and ERA don't matter for pitchers anymore, baseball is cut and dried. Basketball is cut and dried. Healthcare? TOO COMPLICATED.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 19, 2017 -> 01:08 PM) Absolutely the best show I have ever seen. I was blown away by it. Everything about it was masterful and perfect. That's awesome. Glad u loved your experience.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 19, 2017 -> 10:23 PM) That is exactly what everyone should have expected. They certainly weren't going to do anything to make it do anything but fail. Murderers really. Didn't Trump run on the issue that Obamacare sucked and said he would change the system completely?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 20, 2017 -> 03:42 PM) (CNN)A former Trump campaign aide is requesting that President Donald Trump set up a legal fund to help associates ensnared in the federal probe into Trump campaign contacts with Russia. The ex-staff member, who told CNN he is racking up legal fees after hiring an attorney in order to respond to questions from federal investigators, also said he was never paid for his work for the campaign. He requested anonymity to speak candidly. "In many ways, the Trump associates are the real victims here," the ex-staffer said. "The world (is) going after them and Trump (is) leaving them abandoned on the battlefield," he added. "Yet many lives will be ruined in the process." The White House declined to comment on whether administration officials have issued legal guidance to White House employees. Other former campaign officials said it was difficult to estimate how many staff members have been in contact with federal investigators. "My heart aches," one former campaign official said of ex-staffers who might be caught up in the Russia investigation. http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/20/politics/tru...unds/index.html This one is kind of dumb. If you need an attorney to testify, isn't this world dog eat dog? You pay for your own attorney? If Trump paid for attorney fees wouldn't that be a sign of collusion? This Russia story has its 20 minutes of fame but isn't gonna bring down Trump. If federal investigators want to talk to you, why do you need an attorney? Just tell the truth. If you do need an attorney, this is the real world. You pay for one unfortunately.

Quintana. Robertson. Melky (I despise him but give him credit for the game winning hit) Great victory. Sox must creep back to .500.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:57 AM) Greg will enjoy this....great win for the rebuild Why would anybody root for a loss? There are no fricking guarantees. They could draft a Fulmer or Rodon just as easily as a Trout. It's all a crapshoot. Winning, however, is immediate graitification.

Great great win. Exciting and Wimpy was a pleasure to listen to. GO SOX.

QUOTE (hi8is @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:14 AM) What a fantastic game. Maybe Q gets a 1 hit complete game loss? There is no doubt we're getting walked off folks.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:13 AM) Stop trying to make Anderson a leadoff hitter Agreed

Damn the Sox are gonna get walked off again.

Do you guys honestly believe this is it for Trump? This is not the end. Not enough stuff unless he just decides to quit. Howard Stern was so right in advising him to not stay in the race. Trump is so much fun for the media right now. They are in a race to see who gets the story that will be remembered all time like Watergate. Trump is going down, but the reason has yet to be unveiled. It's gonna take more than this, folks. It will happen, but there has to be more than this.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 19, 2017 -> 07:45 PM) In 2013 they won 92 games and made the WC. Lebron was in Miami. The Indians drew more than 100,000 less than the White Sox lowest total this century, and every couple of months we read on this site how the White Sox have to move. It is the risk of getting very bad. The fans find something else to do, and they don't come back. To get a good seat at a baseball game, you have to pay a ransom. Just to eat a little bit and drink a little bit you have to pay a fortune. A lot of people find out they don't need it. Some diehards still want to go watch baseball, but if the Sox finish last this year and the next two years and are out of it in May all 3 years, I'd expect the franchise may not survive that. Also the product is very boring thanks to the umps who allow snail's paced play. Also the chess games after the sixth inning and the shifts. Baseball is very boring right now. Many teams have horrible hitters, the White Sox right at the top of the list. I would assume the rules of the game will change drastically, but it may take several years for the older traditionalists to pass on. I don't know what it will take for the umps to try to help the game. THey are playing a little game in which they do what they want to do and there's not much that can be done to get them to care about the game of baseball and speed up the pace of play.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 19, 2017 -> 01:48 PM) The chances of Trump starting a large war to distract from his bulls*** is very high. Dont underestimate his stupidity. That is an excellent point. I do expect war soon.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 19, 2017 -> 06:45 AM) This stuff gets annoying. You're allowed to enjoy this team however you want but don't tell others what they can or can't do either. El Rockin is the "best fan" on this site. He's saying a good fan does not want his team to lose, not calling anybody out. Look this is a modern thing rooting for your own team to lose, started by Sixers and their fans. This tanking thing is a new phenomenon and a lot of us think it is UNHEARD of to want your team to lose, that's all.

I think we have two warships right in the vicinity of North Korea now (CNN). You wait, this is extremely serious, folks. My question is, what would happen if we actually drop a bomb or two on them or try to take out their leader? Who would respond against us if anybody? Would China or Russia attack the USA? Hawaii or ? Or would we be OK. I think Trump is unstable and I am fully expecting some type of incident in Korea sooner rather than later. Their leader is endangering the USA with his threats of striking us and I feel like Trump is gonna send the dogs out so to speak. Comments? Caulfield? Somebody assure me we're ok.

I'd close this thread now el rockin as you and me will probably get in trouble cause WE WANT TO WIN GAMES!!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 19, 2017 -> 05:22 AM) Two games was the difference between being able to draft Benintendi instead of Fulmer. Everyone should remember that when hoping they win pointless games this year Who cares? Sox probably would have taken Fulmer anyway knowing the Sox scouts.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 19, 2017 -> 05:29 AM) There is no such thing and you don't wish for your team to tank for a draft pick Amen elrockin. I am in your corner! I HATE losing and hate the draft. GO SOX.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 19, 2017 -> 05:19 AM) Sorry but I'm not buying into a good loss I agree elrockin. Horrible loss. Sox as expected are going to have one gawd awful road record this season. I don't see how Hawk wants to broadcast so many losses. I mean they'll win a handful of home games so to speak. I fully expect this Sox team to have the worst record in the AL. That will please you draft lovers. Like the Sox will draft and sign the right guy like Fulmer and Rodon. They'll probably draft a pitcher again. Sad that this team blows. Glad to see Anderson wake up though. Only bright spot, along with Avi and Davidson. he has 7 homers which has him on pace to have a pretty good power year maybe. Pitching is embarassingly bad as well as the lineup. The draft lovers are gonna get their wish. Worst team in the AL.
