QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 03:23 AM) Cause the story makes it look like they flat out ignored the request of Sale days, if not longer in advance. Did he handle it well? Hell no, but he has a point See guys ... I told you I backed Sale on this for a reason. Our organization BLOWS. And now I'm right. Sale was right.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 04:22 AM) There is no baseball god, so good luck with that. I don't know about that. Veeck might make it happen up in heaven for us.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 04:19 AM) What!? Lol With some people here there is just never a good time to sell anyone. Always some excuse I called for the purge a month ago. I can see our team blows but highly paid execs can't.

This is just asking the baseball gods to hit the ball hard right at somebody. Only possible way to get out of the inning. We're not getting any more outs without help from the baseball gods. Get one more and win it in the ninth. If it goes extras i'm turning it off. I know what will happen.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 04:18 AM) I had a nightmare that robin came back in 2017 to manage. Would not shock me if jr bought him back. No chance. Man that looked like a strike on 2-0.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 04:14 AM) Yeah, numb to this stuff. Sell baby sell. Too late to get fair market value. Let's try a new manager and staff. QUOTE (Green Line @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 04:16 AM) Blow. It. Up. See above post.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 04:14 AM) I'm not even upset because I knew it'd happen. Not upset at all cause I know we blow. Just very disappointed.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 04:13 AM) Thank you once again Robin. You continue to amaze me with the ways you come up with to blow ballgames. You may be the worst manager in the history of MLB. He's a very substandard manager.

One big LOL. Well we got to hold them and pray for a ninth inning run. Without that, Cubs coast in extras. Our bullpen is so bad it is hard to comprehend. We led this game 4-0.

That pitch sucked. Good thing time was called.

I was pretty confident we had this one. If Cubs pull this out, bet the house on a 4-gamer sweep for the North Siders. This game is that big.

I'd almost concede the tie and pull the infield back. It's gonna take a miracle. I don't want any more base runners.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 04:06 AM) Game after game the pen sucks. Albers doesn't belong in the big leagues. Our only hope is they only get one run and we push across a run like we did twice late vs. Detroit. What chokers we root for.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 04:06 AM) Dumb move by Bryant. He deserved to get popped in the face Yeah it's dumb, but the Cubs are 20 over .500 and are sure to tie it here without a good reliever in.

Huge out but the game most certainly is gonna be tied which is unacceptable. My god.

s*** I'd put in tomorrow's starter. Why give away a game?

We got nobody besides Matt to use? f***.

What is Abreu's problem going for grounders down the line? He is so bad it's laughable.

Say what you want about the Crosstown Cup sucking ... this is one good baseball game right now.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 11:40 PM) If you truly consider what he did "no reason" you have bigger issues than anger at the team. Make him pay for the uniforms. Case closed. He's Chris Sale. We're the White Sox. Those uniforms are clown suits, barely passable back then when they wore 'em. How the hell can a professional pitch in those in 2016?

Sox are a disgrace at least this week. Sale is available, but noooo ... he's suspended for no reason. Make him pay for the gawd-damn uniforms and call it a day. Head scratching. Pretty soon they are gonna have no fans. They are testing the fans' patience with their ineptitude. We have about a 3 percent chance of winning this game. My gawd. We're pitching a hack against Arietta. Good luck to us. There's no reason to suspend the guy over what he did.

I wish the Sox would now wait and at least see what a real manager can do with our core team next season. But we'll probably hire a novice to manage again. Anyhow anybody with half a brain or 1/4 brain would think the group of Sale, Q, Rodon, Shields just might be something to uh, work with, en route to a division title. And just maybe Jones could be groomed to be the new closer or that top draft pick whose name I always forget. How easy is it to realize the key for the White Sox is to keep the group of Sale, Q, Rodon, Shields, Nate. Also keep Abreu, Eaton and Anderson and dump everybody else and get what you can. Then see what a real manager can do with the group. Robertson, Lawrie, both catchers, Avi, Melky, Frazier all can bring valuable return. Try it again with the core group AND a fricking experienced manager. In the offseason sign Leyland to a ONE YEAR deal. Tell Jim to study our roster and give us a pennant. Hire a coach in waiting to go with Leyland, whoever the f*** you want it to be. The Sox have to be the only organization in humanity that keeps trying stuff yet NEVER changes the damn manager. Maybe it wouldn't matter, but I do have a sneaky suspicion the team's CORE group might be something a GOOD manager could work with. p.s. what i'm saying also is trading Q is a bad idea.

It's hard to not be cynical. The White Sox have done that to us.

When are people going to accept the face Democrats are as slimy or more even than Republicans? Out of Hillary and Trump ... I'd rather have Bernie. He got major hosed. It's amazing how fixed the election process is in a country that prides itself on elections. So now the media is jumping on this to get the DNC off the hook ... The Russians leaked the emails to help Trump. Trump is a Rooskie!! Trump will try to be a dictator!!! When the whole story is how it was fixed to destroy Bernie. Poor Bernie. Had true momentum despite all this bulls*** and still had no chance cause the media ignored his victories and acted like he was an old clown. Shame shame shame. But instead of an investigation ... TRUMP IS THE EVIL ONE. The Russians want him to win cause Trump is evil and will help destroy the USA. Maybe Russia can even take over the USA someday! So elect Hillary!! Such a scam. Poor poor Bernie.

The teams should have not horned in on their age old policy of tipping the clubbies. Cheapskate front offices. Baseball is an amazing sport. They pay the players so much money it's like 4-5 million dollars is nothing but a drop in the bucket. Then they nickle and dime the regular workers. Remember when the Cubs balked about paying the grounds crew and sent 'em home then it started raining? Now this? I even think money is a reason teams are more reluctant to fire managers. I truly think they don't want to have to pay the new manager as well as the existing manager who gets fired. I back the Sox on this one.
