Somebody said we DFA'ed Albers and I believed them. I was hoping he was off the roster forever. Was I dreaming that or was it just a joke by somebody on Soxtalk?

It could be because I'm very negative, but I have never felt like we were (are) going to win this game. They still have us by a run. Anybody feel a W? I do not.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:49 PM) Terry Boers never really breaks news but he just casually said that Ventura is toast this week with a bad series vs Detroit. It really does finally have that feel. Lots of smoke about it from radio guys, bloggers, etc. This is why you don't hire former players. First Ozzie canned and hated forever; now Robin. I do agree Robin must go, but it also is sad.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:48 PM) So it's meaningless nonsense not actually rooted in reality. Trump's stance is disgusting. It's diametrically opposed to Obama's stance. Trump is at least trying to save American lives. And Hillary taking a big step in calling them radicals makes me feel better about her leadership during her eight years. These incidents are getting worse and worse and nobody wants to even think about what is coming (if nothing is done) ... a big one in a packed sports stadium. When that happens it will be the end of sports as we know it. And one of the hugest tragedies in the history of the universe. Nobody wants to talk about it and i hesitate to even mention it on a message board but these bastards want more and more dead and packed stadiums provide sitting ducks.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 09:31 PM) What are you even talking about here? The "PC people" (I'm assuming this is an ill-defined group of generally liberal people?) are the ones in favor of stronger gun control and even for Obama's calls for a "no-guns" watch list. What do you propose should have been done to prevent him from legally purchasing a handgun and an AR-15, and on what grounds? What do you think saying "radical Islam" changes? Does it make the thousands of bombs we drop and the huge number of weapons and material we supply to anti-ISIS forces work better? It shows the PC people we mean business for once. Thank u Hillary. And thank u Trump for your stance on this as well. And Obama has a good stance on this and on guns.

QUOTE (GhostofDickeyKerr @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:31 PM) I don't watch games, I don't click on articles, and I don't spend one penny on them in any shape or form. That will have to be good enough. I just want to be able to watch a game again without fear of some of the most bizarre ways to lose games happening on an almost nightly basis. By not watching games you've saved yourself some grief, although you've missed out on some of the most bizarre ways a team can lose games. You've also missed a lot of bad bunt attempts.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 08:21 PM) I just fail to understand why Avi keeps playing the field instead of Coats. Wtf? Besides that at least something different is being tried with the lineup. This guy is 26 years old and a 29th round pick? Doesn't sound too promising to me. Hope he gets a hit soon, albeit he's only zip for 7.

What do you propose should have been done to prevent him from legally purchasing a handgun and an AR-15, and on what grounds? The FBI had him in its radar. Thus as my President said, he SHOULD NOT have been allowed to buy a gun. Check Obama's comments. He is right. http://lawnewz.com/opinion/how-orlando-mas...i-threat-radar/

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:29 PM) And you want them all dead, how's that going? Are they now all going to die just because you want it? No one is saying don't blame radical islam, let's just make sure it's that before saying so. Radical religion is an absolute problem in this world, it kills a lot of people in the US and in other countries and across all religions. We are absolutely in a war against terrorism, and ISIS is a big part of that. But that said, you are saying a lot of stupid s*** right now. I am congratulating my former enemy (in philosophy), Hillary Clinton, for saying radical Islam which she was afraid to do before because of PC concerns. I feel a lot better, well a little bit better about Hillary today. Yes I am glad you said we are in a WAR. That's what it is. WAR!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:26 PM) I dunno, I think the hundreds/thousands of drone strikes that are carried out against ISIS by the US and its allies are more effective than saying offensive things. This attack doesn't appear to have been plotted by ISIS or any group at all. It seems to have been carried out by a lone individual with zero direct support who was radicalized by online material. That presents its own dangers and challenges, arguably even more challenging than larger-scale coordinated attacks because it's that much more difficult to uncover. But this is just an overreaction on your part. Calm down, and turn off the talk radio. This killer who thankfully is DEAD cheered the 9/11 attacks it was reported today. He was a scumbag who had no right to be buying weapons of mass destruction no matter what the PC people say. He was a lowlife scum who has killed 50 Americans in one nightclub. Shame on him and his memory! Cheering 9/11???

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:17 PM) Yes, you could die at any moment. But it is highly unlikely it will be from a terrorist attack. Please read the NYPost article. We are all on a list. We are all under siege. They want you dead. They want me dead. They want your mom, dad, sister, brother, kids dead. They want all Americans dead. Kudos to Hillary for calling it radical Islam. I hate her a lot less this week if she shows that kind of leadership. Do you realize it could have been you in that nightclub?? This is our country. Please do 'offend' them if it means us being SAFE. They know we will do nothing cause of PC concerns. And they are plotting their next attack and the next one.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) I get Greg is the king troll of all trolls, but should an admn really be telling a poster to, effectively, stop being a member of the board? Kinda bush league, dude. Aren't there rules about personal attacks? Thank you for your support! You are da man! That said, I don't want anybody banned even though I have been suspended twice.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 07:43 PM) Rick Renteria managerial winning pct. .451 Robin Ventura managerial winning pct. .461 Please just say no to Renteria even as an interim. Please gawd, NO. QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) LOL Yeah thats it. Uniforms are their biggest attraction. They are incredible uniforms. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) I don't know about biggest attraction, but the Sox logo is certainly iconic. I'm not sure if it's for all the right reasons all the time or if it even pays off, but there's something to be said about it. The hats are amazing, always in fashion.

All you need to know about the Royals is they are a s*** baseball team that feasts on the White Sox and lets the White Sox save their season time and again. 7-2 vs. Chicago this year and it woulda been 8-2 but one game got rained out in KC. KC would have won that game obviously in that 3-game series from hell in KC. The White Sox cure what ails the Royals ... always.

Some newspaper agrees with Greg. I challenge you all to read this and take off the PC hat and FIGHT THESE MOTHERf***ERS who have ruined our country. We are ALL at risk every single day of our lives. We are all on ISIS kill lists, people. http://www.feedspot.com/?dadi=1#feed/f_423...=43114937540794

So it's big news today Hillary called it "Radical Islam." Kudos to her. And f*** America if anybody thinks it is wrong to single out these MOTHERf***ERS for killing 50 Americans in a gawd-dam nightclub! Why can't we call those bastards whatever we want to call them. They are killing our people! This is a f***ing war, people. The P.C. police need to grow up in a hurry. These people are our enemy! At least Hillary did the right thing here for gawd sakes! I wish the PC people would just shut the f*** up once in a while. So what if "most" are peaceful. The radicals are motherf***ers.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) The saddest part to me is you're going to lose a whole generation of young would-be fans to the Cubs, because they've been on an upward trend for years--and now it's peaking--while we've gone the complete opposite direction. Forget those of us who have been around--how long do you think youngsters are going to get behind the Sox because their parents did when all their classmates are enjoying a first-class, winning team (in a great park) that's probably going to the World Series this year and probably more than one in the near future? Again: the last decades speaks for itself. The system doesn't work. There's no learning curve. Even having an ace like Sale doesn't help, or potential ace Quintana who's been getting completely shafted by having no run support. Our big signings are busts, our farm league is in shambles--just what exactly is competently run at this organization? Then there's the other weird thing with seemingly good players like Eaton or even Frazier apparently regressing while White Sox. The whole thing screams: Blow. It. Up. Unfortunately, I think we're in a McCaskey situation here with JR as owner. The difference being the Bears sell out regardless. We don't. Not even close. Hell, even the hardcore fans are bailing. The only good thing about the Sox and only thing to attract kids/fans is the uniforms. They are the best in baseball with the black and white stripes and the Sox logo. The hat also.

Obama is right on this issue. These ISIS people should not be given access to assault rifles! Why in the hell does any American need an assault rifle?? So a fear of the police turning on the citizenry has Americans loading up on assault weapons? I hate to break it to them. If the police decide to fight us, they will win. Ever hear of them dropping hand grenades on your house, etc? You don't need an assault rifle.

Q-What do you think the odds are of Hillary getting indicted on charges concerning her emails? I'd say 40-60.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 04:30 PM) The fact that Rollins was still playing at age 37, with tens of millions in the bank and a WS ring on his finger, strongly implies that he really enjoys playing baseball. I seriously doubt that he wanted to be released. It has to be hell playing for the White Sox right now with their record the last month or so.

LOL we are playing the Tigers again? We ain't such a good team vs. Det, Cleveland and KC. Look for more misery. We don't beat Detroit. that is for sure.

The Sox record since being 23-10 is ridiculously bad, almost historically bad if we continue that pace the rest of the season. Robin should be fired, case closed. The team's performance this year and last. The team's performance in the Central Division games. Just get rid of him. NOW. Please? It's obvious he deserves the boot as much as Rollins did and Albers did and Humber did. And Latos did. It's time!

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 05:53 AM) It is a mental thing For example you have Adam Eaton, who is on record of saying that the team was mentally defeated after last years opening series 4 game sweep to the Royals. He said they couldn't shake the feeling all year. Adam Eaton's line against Detroit, KC, and Cleveland: .177 AVG, .213 OBP, .302 Slugging He is just an example, I love Eaton and no I am not saying we should replace him or whatever. He is an amazing hitter, just not against these 3 teams. Whatever mental bug these guys have against the Central (minus the Twins) needs to be figured out if we want to have a chance at making a run in this division. For some reason the Sox are always a big picture team. Like Eaton said it was over after the first series last year. This year they gave up after the Texas choke. Game, set, match. Whether we go .500ish or completely in the tank, 20-30 under is anybody's guess but we ain't winning anything of note. The team has already decided that.

I bet deep down Rollins was glad to get released. Had to be the worst experience of his baseball career I'd think playing with this woe-begone team. This has to be one of the worst hitting team in Sox history. It's like the 60s when the mound was lower.

As the horror story of this continues I do need to ask the question ... Why do we need regular people buying assault rifles? Now if the ONLY reason is we are afraid the police are going to attack us someday, that is a pretty weak reason. I mean doesn't common sense suggest we ban such weapons from being purchased? I respect all people including gun advocates even though I've never actually picked up a real gun and I'm sure never will pick one up in my lifetime. Please explain. I am listening.
