QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 04:28 AM) I blame Ventura for this win Don't get bitter about all us negative posters. 6-19 will do that to most fans. Realize you are an unusually positive fan.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 04:12 AM) At first when you watch him hit, that exaggerated bat wrap really scares you that he can't get around on a fastball (ala Viciedo/Beckham/Flowers/Garcia). But he's got ultra quick hands and the hand-eye coordination/physical tools are pretty obvious. Yes I agree with you. My first reax was exaggerated bat wrap and he's using too big a bat. Glad to see him pull that ball past third and rope it up middle.

First of all, f*** KC. Eight losses in a row! Damn if we could make it 10 in a row that would be monumental! Q normally is good for only five innings vs. KC. Please, Q, throw a better game! Anderson ... yes. This is our old winning formula. Home runs at the Cell. I would go for lift and pull in ALL home games. p.s. My mlb.com hasn't turned off the postgame. Whatever happened to Rongey? What does he do now for the Score? p.s.s. I can't believe Eaton is barely above .250 now. He needs to draw more walks and be more selective IMO.

Yes! We finally won the first game of a series in a month besides September against those bastards! I hate those bastards!!! Eight in a row for KC. Damn I would do anything to make it 10 in a row!!!

I'm leaving til after the game. Will make some postgame comments after the sad L. I can only hope we somehow win.

The Royals have lost 7 in a row and are "fighting" to scratch this win out. Hilarious. Can u imagine if the Sox had a 7 game losing streak and were going against Scherzer? Uh 10-1 loss. Royals batter double digit hits off Sale and are primed to steal another one late. Thanks Abreu for that bonehead play!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 03:46 AM) What are the odds that 8th theoretical run doesn't become a factor? Remember Austin Jackson recording an out at 3rd base the last time we played them? Was just gonna print that. Bye bye ballgame. We have our turning point.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 03:44 AM) That being said, Robin is a f***ing moron for even letting him start that inning. He was clearly gassed. It was a no brainer to let Sale try to go 7. With the Sox bullpen???

Why in the hell would Abreu tag up on that shallow fly? He was out by a mile. And b.) why not slide? Those kinda plays fuel KC comebacks!!!!

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 06:18 PM) Reports are the guy had a large rock and was walking towards the officer. You can hear them light it up. Because a guy was threatening with a rock. Where's the common sense? You don't shut down an airport because of some asshole with a rock.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) Who are you trying to kid, you love to be negative. Don't go there now. I am wishing Anderson the best. But the way this organization works ... James Shields takes the mound, sucks and gets booed. Anderson comes up against the Royals ... I hope he's the hero but he could have the same fate with this snakebit organization.

The way things have been going for the White Sox ... poor Anderson will be nervous and have several errors in the first inning and we'll get our asses kicked by the Royals and the fans will boo as they did Shields. Hate to be so negative but the Sox do that to you.

I hope everybody is patient with Anderson, including people like myself. Don't pull an Eric Johnson with his development and send him down if he goes 1 for 35. Just let him play. It's a rebuilding year for us now anyway as this team just isn't good enough to make the playoffs. So just let him play a couple months. I'd actually give him a day or two off per week and let Saladino play ss 2 days a week and second base two days a week. Sit Lawrie some. He's not exactly a good hitter, either. Whether you like the decision or not fans, to rush Anderson, be patient and let him suck a while. Again, the team is nothing.

Cut Rollins now. Go with Saladino and see what we've got. If he sucks, who cares? Release him in September if he blows. Rollins needs to start his coaching career.

L L L Duffy is good now. So better win Game One or Two cause we ain't winning No. 3.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 04:56 AM) Seaver won 15 games both seasons with an ERA if I remember of under 3.5 and he pitched a ton of innings. There was nothing broken down about him at all with the Sox. Mark Seaver was effective. He just lost it after six, seven innings some times. I think he had several six inning no hitters, then boom. But he was good as a White Sox. I think they traded him to a contender for his final hurrah.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 02:50 AM) Albers DFA'ed. Burdi added to the active roster. Thank goodness. Can you believe the Albers story? All those scoreless innings and all that praise and love in April. Eight weeks later, bye bye from all of baseball cause he's so so bad. He ought to go to a personal trainer, lose 15 pounds and try it again with SOME OTHER TEAM.

Even though we FINALLY have Sale and Q opening up a 'big' series, I'm thinking Greg should not watch this series lest I blow a gasket. Maybe I'll suck it up and watch while expecting us to lose and not go crazy. It seems to me Sale has been throwing a lot of pitches lately. You know, the Royals don't like to draw walks (except against the Sox ... seriously check their BB stats before that last 3 game series in KC). I'd suggest throwing strikes but you better not throw STRAIGHT fastballs to their Big 5 (Hosmer, Cain, Morales, Perez and Orlando). If fastball isn't moving, figure something else out. They will hit home runs in the Cell again if we throw straight fastballs.

We get five hits but we win. Finally. This actually was our winning formula earlier in the year. It's unhealthy to just get five hits, of course, but it was enough. Actually our only hope of having a productive bullpen now appears to be what happened tonight. Nate has to suck it up and emerge as a consistent four out guy late in games we happen to lead. And Robertson has to get the save. The other relievers, it'd be nice if they could suck it up and get an out if Robin calls on them. Frankly tonight's game feels like one of those 60 you are going to win in a season no matter what. I'll take it though. That line smash to end the game ties the game if Melky doesn't get a proper read on it. Thanks, Melky. Now ... gulp, the Royals come to town with a 7-game losing streak. Let the craziness begin. If we actually had some brass balls, we'd sweep them and suddenly have a 4-game win streak and they'd have a 10-game losing streak. However ... those that know me KNOW my prediction is KC 3 games, Chicago no games. That actually 'might' get Robin fired after Hahn's statements today. GO SOX! It seems like I hate them but my 100 dollar mlb.com subscription says otherwise.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 11:22 PM) Yeah, I have to say, the fact that the outrage machine has been pretty universally in high gear shows that while a singular judge might have made a mistake, the general public didn't. Even if it isn't in prison, this kid's life is over. It truly is over. He has to register as a sex offender. This means he'll never hold a full time job. How do people like that survive? You have to have some sort of income to live.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 10:46 PM) Greg, you do realize that Trump will win KS regardless of what you do or say?...Missouri, as always, is where it gets much more interesting from a political standpoint. Of course. Barry Crimmins, the GREAT comic endorsed by Louis CK, addressed this line of response, though, at his excellent show Saturday in town here. He said when he blasts Hillary to people they scream, "So you are going to vote for Trump??" His answer, "No I'd rather be (I forget the actual joke here it was something like castrated) before I'd vote for a Republican." Just cause I despise Hillary doesn't mean I'll vote for Trump. I'm going to write somebody in as write in. Probably Howard Stern. Yes I'll make it a mockery. p.s. Kansas re-elected Brownback because of the R next to his name. And guess what? Even though he has ruined this state and made this state the laughingstock of this country and continues to decimate this state, if there was re-election tomorrow, he'd win again. As disgusting as that sounds, he would, because of the R by his name. This means the state of Kansas actually may be the most disgusting or at least the most unintelligent of all states. Think about what I said. The worst government official in the history of the USA would be re-elected in Kansas tomorrow if there were an election just cause he's Republican. WOW. I'm seriously considering moving to Nevada over this.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 12:13 AM) User Actions Following Scot Gregor ‏@scotgregor Hahn on Ventura's status: "I don't think you've ever seen me telegraph any move." #WhiteSox Not exactly a ringing endorsement Wow. Is that all he said, or one Tweet of the best comment of a long interview? Bush league to not print the whole article. But that single comment taken alone means Robin is GONE.

I will forever be grateful to everybody involved with the 2005 team. s*** they won me (and all fans) a WS. At least we have that forever. "Everybody" includes Jerry and Kenny. Thank you. However ... as much as I hate to say it, that season does appear to be a lightning in a bottle fluke. I thought we were going to dominate the division a long time. Instead we flailed around and now during the Robin era we're a flat out embarrassment of an organization. Argue all you want, but any discussion about the dopes in our front office, and our sub-par owner, has to include a thank you for 05.

I love how ONE MILLION DOLLARS is nothing anymore in sports. Damn I wish I could stumble my way into ONE MILLION DOLLARS. It reminds me of the Stooges episode where Shemp is counting money. "One hundred, one hundred, one hundred, 20. How'd this 20 get in here?" Crumbles it up and throws it on the ground, all three pause then dive on the 20. One million bucks is nada like u said.

One of my friends has a 25 year old daughter living at home with no prospects of moving out cause she can't find a good job. I do feel the pain of Millenials in a lot of ways. They are inheriting a work force that a.) does not want to pay them medical benefits. b.) that does not want to ever give them performance bonuses or heaven forbid, raises in pay according to merit. c.) that requires overtime with no overtime pay, basically threatening them with termination if they don't play along and do the work for no extra pay and finally d.) they are the generation that in college was expected to do unpaid internships which should be illegal. If somebody does work, they deserve pay. So I ask ... can we blame Millenials for moving back in with mom and dad? Are there any hope for millenials that don't become doctors in terms of them ever making a fair, decent buck? Best wishes to all new grads BTW and best of luck in finding suitable employment! Also I would like to ask those Soxtalkers who have a say in management of their companies ... do you have unpaid internships and what is your justification for having kids come in and work for NO PAY? Unpaid internships anger me beyond no end. Pay The Worker, don't hide behind the fact it's an internship.
