QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 09:17 PM) He is gone let it go. Just responding to a rip of Hawk.

Gotta love the pitcher batting in the NL; helped Sale maybe settle down there. Robin would be run out of town if he batted his pitcher eighth today or yesterday.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 09:12 PM) 6th straight game Hawk has mentioned MB. He should. He's one of the stars of MLB who won today, pitched against us recently, is a former Sox great and basically is one of the top starters in baseball still.

Great great catch by Avi. They are blistering Sale pretty good today. Good leather.

Avi has 15 walks on the season; more than I thought.

Any obvious trading partners for Melky? Or is he untradeable like Dunn was?

They getting some good swings on Sale. But ... nice pop out to rf.

So that great play at ss is the difference between hitting .400 on the year and .200. Wacky.

Nice pick by Saladino and nice snag by Abreu. That was a big play. If that ball sails over Abreu's head, bedlam ensues.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 09:41 PM) It's so nice being able to listen to the Cubs broadcast instead of Hawk. Intelligent and coherent baseball talk for once. Heard a taped interview with Hawk on KC rain delay yesterday. He's awesome. He was explaining how he's not Ken on the broadcasts but he's Hawk. He was bragging about how he can't control the Hawk when talking about umpires. I love it.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) Just 47 pitches through 5 innings. Dude is aging well. Hell, let's get him back in the offseason. He's got the win in the bag. Add him to the all star roster NOW.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 08:34 PM) Sanchez can't bunt Rodon is only guy on team who can bunt.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 08:32 PM) As much as I hate bunting, Sanchez needs to be bunting every time in that situation. Now you give Lester the chance for the quick inning. Robin would get fried and maybe even fired for doing that with the pitcher up next.

That sucked. DP after the nice rocket by Flowers.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 08:23 PM) Techincally Rose makes 19 a year, but with endorsements it's more than Lester. So what you are saying is Greg was, uh, right in his original observation? Endorsements don't count.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 08:20 PM) Are you aware of a sport called basketball? OMG Rose makes more than 26 mill a year? What a waste. QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) That'd be Derrick Rose. That shocks me he makes that kind of money. Another guy not worth the $$$.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 08:16 PM) He's like what, fifth? Just say he's the richest sports figure in Chicago. Big first inning for Sale. It's obvious Lester has nothing today. His ball isn't popping at all. Hopefully Sale is Sale again today!

Glad to see Saladino make contact and drive the ball where it is pitched. Melky with the weak at bat, but as good as a bunt there.

Great start. Sox are loose, like they should be after yesterday taking the pressure off. As far as Lester, 26 million a season? What a joke. When will owners learn???

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 08:38 PM) Which of course ignores "Words coming out of the journalists mouths", but anyway. What words are coming out of their mouths? They are unanimous in going ga-ga over Hillary and her being the first woman president. They speak of the issue as if it's a done deal, which it is. Nobody else has a chance and the journos know it and say it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 7, 2015 -> 06:05 PM) Which of course ignores "Words coming out of the journalists mouths", but anyway. Yes, when Hillary gets into office, the media will try to get her if she breaks the law or has some controversy. But the big thing is they'll make sure she gets elected. And when it's time for re-election they'll do what they do and mock the Republican candidates, make sure she gets re-elected. Then they'll take a potshot or two and try to get her in trouble, but the key point of this is the media wants her to win and she will win. They wanted Obama to win and he won. It will take a rare Republican candidate to ever win again.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 06:09 AM) I was wondering who could possibly like trump. Of course it's Greg. But that's how I feel about Hillary, the way you all feel about Trump. I'd pretty much take anybody over Hillary, although I really did despise Romney. If it was Romney vs. Hilly I'd sit that one out. I like Trump because he's not willing to get chastised by the media when they overreacted to what he said. The media doesn't like it when they get a candidate in what they think is a controversial moment and the subject does't recoil and cry and apologize. Trump basically says "f*** off" I don't hate all Mexicans and you are not gonna get me to back down from something I didn't say." He laughs when Macy's boycotts his merchandise and now he's mocking Macy's cause people are ripping up their Macy's credit cards for messing with Trump. I love it. Limbaugh is the same way. Look at that celebrity who said "I hate America." She's all apologizing and everything. All she had to do was say, "I hate these big fricking donuts we have in America. It came out wrong. Everybody grow up." Trump is great cause he won't give in to the media overreaction to his statement. People are way too PC nowadays. Did you see it's even affecting standup comedy? The PC police is all offended at jokes nowadays. What a country we live in. Read this link and tell me you don't like Trump. He blasts Hillary, calls her the worst secretary of state ever, lol. He rips macy's. I'm liking him more and more. He will drive the pundits crazy if he wins the primary. Trump says things that will make TV very very uncomfortable. http://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2015/...l-beat-hillary/

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 05:24 PM) He's trending upward and if this team decides to sell, I think he could actually fetch a couple top 10 prospects from a team. That's why we simply have to trade him ASAP. Take the best offer and get some guys who can help the team rebuild.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 11:44 PM) What an absolute pleasure it was to watch today's game. Great defense, great pitching, solid fundamentals in the small ball game. Thoroughly enjoyed taking that in in person. Let's take 2 more this weekend. What was it like to be there? Standing room only would be a good test of the park amenities. Does it take forever to get to a bathroom stall? Are the bathrooms gross? Are the seats all cramped together compared to the Cell? Is the food any good? Long lines for food, too? Does the park seem like a sewer or not? I remember Ozzeroo used to say it was a dump. What is it like to go to a game at Wrigley now vs. the Cell?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 02:08 AM) You guys are too tough on Avi, IMO. Let him finish out the season; he'll get his at bats. Geez, the guy hit close to .370 in 3 trips to AAA. Bad injury last year. This is his first full year in MLB. I'm pulling for him. I agree. Doesn't baseball have a hitting problem right now? Avi seems like he has a chance to be a good hitter. Maybe not but baseball is full of lousy hitters right now.
