QUOTE (Insp @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) This thread was going quite nicely before caulfield12 and greg775 showed up to ruin things. I do apologize. I haven't been in many game threads cause this team makes me so upset.

QUOTE (mataipaepae @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) You don't like to let youngsters develop do you? They should all be hall of fame quality from the get go! I guess I didn't like what I saw there.

Without looking it up, it seems to me the Sox absolutely suck during day games at the Cell record wise.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 09:14 PM) Well, he once was the mostly highly-touted arm in the Dominican and received the biggest signing bonus (at the time) in history. So basically, the Joe Borchard of pitching prospects. How did the Sox get him?

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 09:13 PM) His slider might be on par with the best in the game. That last one to K Pillar was stellar My eyes are telling me it's very easy to pick up the ball out of his hand and his pitches scream, "hit me hard."

Boy this pitcher has nothing. Hope he's not a big time prospect.

Six home runs and getting killed. Team Dysfunction is at it again. It's hard to do some of the things this team does.

That sucked. Lawrie with the boot.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 09:06 PM) This team desperately needs like 4 more players if they want to contend. If scores hold true, they will be 7 back of Cleveland It's closer to the bottom than the top. Forget the playoffs. Not this year.

Belt high fastball ... BAM.

Put Lawrie or Anderson in the outfield then and let Saladino hit. Or everyday DH.

Can you explain why Saladino doesn't play over a .180 hitter like Shuck?

Saladino is one of our best hitters and never plays. Ridiculous waste.

I just read that Texas and California want to follow Britain and have a Texit from the U.S. These states don't know what they are doing. Once they secede they are going to lose about 1/2 the population just by people who don't want to renounce their US citizenship. Then they are going to be left with a state full of crazies who are their own country. They will need their own armies and nuclear weapons. Talk about morale killers. All these states want to secede now to follow Britain's lead. We do have a lot of problems as a nation at this time, though. They are thinking their economies will be better if they split from the USA. There will be all sorts of problems, however. I can't imagine the hordes of people who have moved to Dallas and Houston mainly for work would stay there if Texas secedes. p.s. This is another crazy offshoot of our political system. The Democratic candidate as we stand now is a lock to win every Presidency thanks to the system set up (media bias, etc) and some people are fed up with the blah outlook under Hillary the next 8 years. It's interesting but also embarrassing. Obama's tenure ends in states talking about bailing on the Union. Great stuff Obama.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 02:02 AM) Slew of Chuck Garfien tweets: Spoke to Mark Buehrle. He's here at the White Sox game. He says he hasn't filled out his retirement papers. Buehrle said he'd think about coming back to pitch in the White Sox or Blue Jays bullpens. Seriously? Buehrle: "I might be. I might not be." Buehrle was thoroughly enjoying dancing around the issue of whether he'll come back or not. Buehrle says he is throwing--to his son's little league team. Please come back, Mark. He could be ready by August. Pitch the rest of this year then join the rotation next year. Bullpen the last five weeks of this season then rotation next year. If he did make a comeback with the Sox his first appearance would be one of the loudest ovations ever.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 04:17 AM) Ventura won this game Ventura is a very very good manager ... outside of the Central Division. He'll have his Sox compete against anybody else all nine innings tooth and nail.

QUOTE (59th street @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 03:46 AM) Truer words were never spoken! Too many miserable whiners just want to complain about every single thing. SOX WIN. Are you crazy? The 'whiners' are happy we won! But we are realists. here are some facts to chew on as we AGAIN are out of the race in June. Have been out of it a while now. Get this: To win a division (we won't get either wildcard; that is a given; got to win the division to make playoffs) you have to win games in the Central and have to win at home. CLEVELAND is 23-12 at home, KC 25-9, Detroit 21-14. The Sox are a PATHETIC 18-17. That will never cut it. We are not built to win at the Cell again. In the division, SOX are 12-18 vs. the division compared to 22-10 for Cleveland, 21-11 for KC as well as Detroit's equally pathetic 12-14. So obviously we are not whiners but realists.

Nice win. Big crowd. This is what summer ball is supposed to be about. No need for those fans to watch extra innings. Good thing David got outta it. Everybody's happy. -- Sox should let Renteria manage the games against AL Central and Robin manage all other games. Robin is Earl Weaver against everybody but the Central. Scouts should be scouting Central teams HARD right now as we play others.

Sox get no respect. Shoulda called him out. Tagged him. but inconclusive.

Robertson must have a tired arm. He blows.

For the political novice, why did England do this? And why is it so bad aside from people fearing isolationist rise of somebody like Hitler? Can you explain Brexit For Dummies?

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 11:23 PM) I don't think you get shot. I'll bet $50 you make it to dawn alive. Maybe it will make national news if I go to the worst possible neighborhood for shootings with the goal of walking around from 9 p.m. until 5 a.m., and hanging out and see if I get shot. What are the odds I live? Something has to be done about the violence in Chicago. It is pathetic, embarrassing but worse than that, tragic.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 11:24 PM) Because $10 million a year isn't a lot in today's game. I thought it went up next year and the next year too.

I'm sure Saladino enjoys being on the roster, but he never plays. I'd DH Saladino over Avi at this point.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 10:28 PM) What in the hell are you doing that you need to walk the streets of any neighborhood for 7 straight hours in the middle of the night? Unless you are a drug dealer or prostitute? It was a hypothetical. I am upset about the murders in Chicago and wondered the odds of me being dead if I walked in that neighborhood alone all night.
