Abreu, Cabrera, Garcia sure looked good on paper last winter. Can the three muster a hit in the eighth inning of a close game against a lousy Cleveland team?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2015 -> 09:12 PM) I am going to say you have absolutely no idea what you are saying. Johnson needed more consistent at bats after his injury. He will be up in next few days I'm sure. Micah was kind of scapegoat for the horrendous start.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Sep 7, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) Really we pinch hit for Flowers with Leury Garcia, heck I would have rather had Flowers hit. I get the feeling Robin likes Leury more than Micah.

The Indians logo on the sleeve is kind of offensive. I'd think it's way worse than Washington's Redskins. You don't hear as much about Cleveland needing to get rid of Chief Wahoo.

Olt makes $520,000 a year. Not a bad check for his pathetic resume.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2015 -> 08:50 PM) I'm sure FIP will say it's a good start due to strikeouts, but Sale has been awful. Definitely time to maybe skip a start for him, as who cares about 300 strikeouts I don't know why they don't just send him home for the winter. The experts think he has injury potential so why pitch him when we're out of the race? Sit him.

Sale is like anybody else. Hittable some days. Obviously his full body of work is outstanding.

That at bat by Alexei was not good. He's been hot and still had the bad at bat. I feel like he was trying to blast a three-run homer there on 3-2 and the pitch was kinda high to be swinging so hard.

Flowers finally made contact and got the fly ball. Everybody should choke up except Abreu.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Sep 7, 2015 -> 07:21 PM) I f***ing hate Hawk Harrelson. I absolutely dread the days that my stream gets the Sox broadcast. I don't know why some Sox fans hate on the legend that is Hawk.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 09:33 PM) So nice to sweep KC. This team is making a run at the wild card. We aren't giving up until we do Ugh. El Rockin you can't really believe your statement. No wild card runs this season.

Finally. f***ing finally! The Sox go into KC and win all three. Halleluia. Finally. It really means nothing but I'll sure take it. I just don't understand how we can lose so many games against KC then sweep a 3-game series finally out of nowhere. The strange thing is we all know it signifies nothing. It's just a wonderful thing, though, to sweep them. From a Royals standpoint, the Cueto acquisition is a reminder not all midseason additions do work. He blows. And he's another guy whose gonna soon be making 20 million dollars a season for 6-7 seasons. I just don't understand how baseball execs can hand out these contracts and risk the player immediately turning to s***! GOOD JOB WHITE SOX. YOU SWEPT THE BASTARDS.

Did some surfing tonight and saw a lot of people think the Virginia deaths were a hoax. To the people who think it was a hoax ... why is a woman still in the hospital? The hospital would not go along with a hoax. No fricking way. And we had funerals burying two people. Yes the father of the slain woman acted different from a normal grieving father and the boyfriend acted bizarre, but grief is different for everybody. There's not a way to act when a loved one dies. You act the way you feel at the time. A hoax? Grow up you tube people. It's very poor taste.

Very sad take. This woman supports Hillary just because she is a woman. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stacey-newma...kusaolp00000592 I don't think I've ever read anything as sad/sick as that story. What an awful endorsement, based on sex alone.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Sep 5, 2015 -> 03:43 AM) Danks still isn't very good. He's to KC what Bruce Chen was to the White Sox, that's all. Wrong on Danks. He's actually had a good to excellent season, a LOT of quality starts.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 02:50 AM) So the Sox would have good hitting but no pitching? That's not a formula for success either. Very true. That's why I liked my suggestion the best. We could have traded Shark at the break and Duke like I suggested. We also could have dumped Melky, Laroche and Lexi. Our pitching would still be great w/out Shark and Duke and even Robertson. Why oh why didn't we start the reloading at the deadline??

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 01:42 AM) Way to go Jonesy and Alexei. This should not be a game that Q gets a no decision. Very true. He worked too hard on a steamy night.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 01:41 AM) Petricka should be turned into a long reliever. Gives up far too many hits to be a set-up man Petricka and Duke are not big leaguers IMO. Somehow get rid of both.

Damn just what the doctor ordered; a double play.

Oops, our s***ty bullpen plus some lucky hits have the Sox in a world of hurt right now.

Nice to beat the Royals. The law of averages has kicked in nicely this series. Q is pretty damn impressive. ... What happened to Melky's power? Nine homers is ridiculously bad for all the $$$ he's making. This board IMO doesn't blast Melky enough. Arguably he's one of the biggest disappointments on our team. That said ... SOX ARE ROLLING OVER KC! Finally. Nice.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Sep 5, 2015 -> 02:10 AM) I don't think anything greg has said in here has gone that far. Thank you! I do appreciate those who like/tolerate/or do not hate Greg.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 5, 2015 -> 09:16 PM) Trump beats all of the main Dem options head to head according to this poll, including Clinton: http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presid...ry-head-to-head If Hillary loses, drinks are on me up to 200 bucks at a Sox game someday (dunno why I stopped at 200).

Any update on your situation?

QUOTE (AlSoxfan @ Sep 5, 2015 -> 04:44 AM) Good win, Danks pitched well once again against KC. Wish he would of gotten a shutout but a complete game is nice, his first this yr I think. I don't know if anyone has noticed but Lexi has his avg. up to .251 now. He's getting better as usual as the yr. goes on. Yeah, I can't believe he ran through that stop sign on the single to left. He was safe by a mile. Weird how sometimes it works out.
