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.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) Lol, Rosemont is not the west or south side. Jesus dude. I meant Roseland, sorry. Why can't people accept an honest mistake from Greg. I know where Rosemont is, the old Horizon. I picked up a chick in a Rosemont bar once. Sorry I screwed up. Roseland is no picnic right?

Sox finally get 15 hits in a game and lose. Pathetic. 3 of 4 is nice, however.

Why would the Sox take on so much money in Shields who is a No. 5 starter at best in the AL?

You can't really blame Robin for Albers being a horrible reliever/option. The only reason I wanted him gone is the 10-23 stretch in which the team played like total clowns. How would you like to have to put in a guy like Albers as one of your prime relievers? If you have a s***ty bullpen, it's very difficult to cover four fricking innings. Almost impossible.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) It was just a matter of time. I thought there was no interest due to being .500. It seems there is quite a crowd that is way more interested in losing. Three out of four in Boston is a nice job. it's just disappointing you can't sweep when pitching a guy who makes as much money at "Big Game."

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 08:03 PM) For anyone who had any sort of optimism with this team... You see why you shouldn't. Not many became optimistic cause we won 3 vs. Boston. Realists know we can't beat KC, Det and Cleveland head to head.

Sox starters have to go more than Peavy, I mean Shields, did today. It's that simple. They don't have reliable enough relievers to get them 4 innings of work. Most of the time we lose when we have to use a ton of these stiffs from the pen. Now get to the eighth or ninth and we're talking about a possible victory.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) Rosemont? No. Certain areas of the south and west sides? Yes. See, somebody agrees with me. QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 02:58 AM) f***ING ROSEMONT GREG? KING f***ING TROLL I thought Rosemont was one of the hotbeds. If I'm wrong sorry but Jenks agreed I would be dead if I walked on certain areas of the south and west sides from those hours on a weekend night. That's scary when you think about it. I'm sorry I meant Roseland.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 04:08 AM) Get ready for the tease if the Sox win tomorrow. Astros just moved to .500. Don't fall for it. Facts are facts and this year's White Sox team can't beat Cleveland, KC or Detroit.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:07 AM) You heard it here first- James Shields' line tomorrow: W, 7 IP, 2 ER, 2 R, 7 K, 6 H, 3 BB, strikes on 68 of 103 pitches Shields is catching Boston at a bad time. They don't want to get swept. So Shields 1 2/3 innings, 9 runs, 7 earned, 3 walks, 1 error. If Shields gets rocked again, put him on the fricking DL for a month or so. This is absurd. He can't get rocked again or DL must be instituted.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 02:53 AM) Can we petition the league office to only have non-ALC opponents the rest of the season? Exactly. The Sox abide by their A, B, Cs. That is, "Anybody But Central." Let's face it the proof is in. Teams outside the Central don't have time to scout us as well as the Central teams who know our every little weakness. The Sox actually are a wild card contender if you throw out Central games, which we can't do. No matter how many games we win outside of division, I'll not believe because those Central team will kick our ass again and again, but I do enjoy winning and 3 in a row over Boston is nice. I also insist its the baseball gods slapping those smug Red Sox announcers in the face. Every time I've tuned in they've been mocking the White Sox. The baseball gods are saying, 'Shut up and quit being such homers and talk about the game, don't just mock Shields and Ventura and Putnam and Robertson et. all."

Trump called Hillary perhaps the most corrupt candidate ever. He just blasted her personality as well. The gloves are off.

Serious question: If on a hot Friday or Saturday night I decided to walk the streets of Rosemont from 10 pm until 5 am. what are the odds I would be shot and killed? Probably 90 percent? The murders in Chicago must stop. My bad ... I meant ROSELAND. Sorry.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 04:40 PM) So teams should depend on lesser talented middle relief pitchers for individual wins? That's how I would build a successful team. I'll never be convinced that wins are meaningless for starting pitchers. Wins are very important. I love how the sabes people love their advanced stats and yet the established baseball announcers and former players who are color analysts ONLY mention the traditional stats - wins, losses, ERA, strikeouts, walks. That said, I wish we'd trade Q to a team that could score him some runs for his sake. It's like Pavlov here - Q on the mound, the hitters don't hit.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 03:20 AM) Robin actually looked like a Manager when he went out to mound after Robertson walked Ortiz. Looked like a leader. Robin is not a complete buffoon. He knows the game of baseball. It just hasn't worked out for him as a manager in Chicago.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 06:26 AM) I would be ok with us trading Q for a collection of players, I mean s***, we don't score any runs for him anyway. I'm almost starting to think it's not even a statistical anomaly anymore and the players may actually be conscious of it at this point. Trade Quintana to Boston for Betts, Moncada, Benintendi, and Owens. I agree we should trade Q. The Sox simply cannot score runs for him, so be merciful and trade him for 4 very good prospects. It's not working out cause the Sox won't play ball the days he pitches. They just won't.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 03:05 AM) Hopefully this turns this nightmare around!! Get on a big win streak and make us all forget that horrible month. I'll take the win and be happy about it ... but as far as turning it around, you know damn well we ain't gonna beat the AL Central teams when they come around next. Guess we should enjoy being competitive against everybody else.

LOL. Break up the White Sox, an OK team against anybody outside of the Central Division. Seriously. Six hits, just three runs and we beat Boston again at Fenway. Robertson didn't blow it. Two home runs. Sale does way better than against any Central team. Team dysfunction ... Are we at a point where we fans can say the White Sox are a decent to good team against anybody outside of the Central? (albeit washington and NYY did kick our ass)? Don't mistake my laughing for anything. I'm happy anytime the Sox win, just chuckling at the absurdity of this.
