Cmon Anderson, no chasing of curves.

Bad call. That's the game right there.

That's an error for sure but he actually might have beat that out the way he was trying to glove it off balance.

Why is Shuck on this team? Give his at bats to some young guy.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 01:03 AM) Frazier apparently can't hit the ball anymore At least Anderson is back up to .280. Frazier down to under .210 again at .208. Man he really is all or nothing. Home run or weak out or K. Is he valuable or not? 30 plus homers but a pathetic average guy. So is a guy like that valuable or not?

What is he 5-16? He has to lose his rotation spot. Nobody's gonna have him lose 20 games.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 06:32 AM) This is just another opportunity for trolls to try to spin this in some negative way. The fact is that naming rights have been around as long as inflated player salaries have been. Look around ANY major league ballpark and see signs for WINTRAUST, NUVEEN, Budweiser, XFinity,... plastered on everything in and around the ballpark. It's just part of the business. Fans don't have to call Sox Park anything but Sox Park or Comiskey. I certainly won't. Trolls? Look at all the people on here who think this is a disgrace. What is Guaranteed Rate? Nobody's ever heard of the company. It should be spun in a negative way BTW, it's embarrassing.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 08:34 PM) I finally got used to calling it "the cell." Can we just call it Sox Park? Yes we can. QUOTE (coco1997 @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 09:01 PM) Maybe people will nickname it the Grate? As in "G. Rate?" Really grasping at straws here. Grate Field would be an OK nickname. I bet it'd bother Guaranteed Rate people, though. What a stupid lowrent company to buy naming rights. QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) Wow, this is f***ing sad. Some 3rd tier mortgage company/broker/business. Couldn't get Walgreens, a big time bank, airline, Fortune 500 co?? They end up with some shady mortgage broker?? Amen. It's ridiculous.

Shields stinks; Sox lose. Team continues its lousy season. Should be interesting to see which lousy relievers the Sox sign this offseason and which 3-4 veteran players they acquire to replace some of the stiffs.

Prediction. Pop up as he'll be trying to hit another homer.

Way to go, Avi. It's 5-3 should be 4-3 if not for minor leaguer Kahnle.

I have gained respect for Frazier. Nice job keeping it alive.

Is Coats any good or is he another stiff?

Morneau I guess was trying to hit a double in the LC gap or something. Fail.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 03:45 AM) The non-Jones and Robertson righties in the bullpen all should be in the minors. Not much Ventura can do. I guess. They are mostly all trash. Jennings is sometimes OK but as u said he's a lefty.

Not that it matters, but what a selfish at bat from Melky. Don't need a warning track fly ball down 3 in the ninth leading off.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 03:43 AM) No excuse for so many low OPS numbers throughout the lineup. Hahn can't produce an offensive lineup and Steverson hasn't been effective with the players he's had. Amen.

Sox will either go quietly 1-2-3 or we'll score two and that insurance run after Robin conceded will be the difference.

Sox have five hits. Anderson with as bad a game tonight as compared to a great game last night. Now he's down to .276 after hitting .280. Hahn built a horrible baseball lineup. Our team is a nightmare on offense.

One of the things I won't miss about the Robin era is our team just conceding games. If we're down two runs after six innings, generally speaking, forget about it. We ain't winning. Maybe even after five innings.

Typical White Sox. Last night a stellar game, any fan had to be loving life. Tonight ... dead as can be. At least Navarro lit up the scoreboard. Other than that another gawd-awful game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 25, 2016 -> 01:47 AM) Media doesn't even know Sox exist now with Bears starting and the Cubs the greatest team to ever be assembled It's never been this bad in terms of relevancy. Sox are completely irrelevant. Sickening decisions by front office and players who refuse to play hard. It equals this crap team. I wonder if joining the Sox is considered akin to joining a country club in baseball circles.

Conceding another game ... Kahnle.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 05:59 AM) Only 8.5 games out boys! Just shows how 'easy' it is to be in the wildcard race nowadays. Now I'm not saying we are in the race. But if we had lost 50 percent less of the dysfunctional bizarre games this season, we'd actually be in the race. I know our team does not pass the playoff eye test, but folks, it's not that difficult to stay in the race. That's why Robin has to be given the kick out the door.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 23, 2016 -> 01:47 AM) Make them take Shields and the Padres money for Puig straight up. They can throw in Avi if they want him for some silly reason. I'd be OK with that. Avi and Shields for Puig. Sox could gamble that Shields gets good again next year, but obviously he appears to be done.
