QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 03:38 AM) Best pitching performance of the season by Petricka. Nasty stuff tonight. He did well. Hopefully the defense stays solid with Sanchez/Beckham/LaRoche in there remains solid. And hopefully the warm weather will mean a lot of homers this summer. Let's face it, the offense is horrific but could be average if several guys start hitting home runs. Tonight was a good start in the HR regard. It was nice in the ninth to see Eaton get on base then sprint to third like a speedster on the hit by Lexi.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 03:30 AM) Pretty productive night... we won and every team in our division lost. That's gotta happen several nights in a two week span and the Sox could move up in a hurry. Nice win, better than the alternative, but long long way to go to .500.

Yes! We're gonna win tonight. f*** the Tigers.

Make em pay for the error! Cmon.

So sad about the woman hit by the broken bat in Boston. Shows what can happen, anything can happen, when you have good seats at a baseball game. Her little kid was there in horror. Please let her live. Please let her be OK. Heartbreaking.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 03:01 AM) Sanchez strikes no fear into pitchers Let's face it. He's a defensive specialist. He cannot hit.

It's gonna be homer or nothing for a team that doesn't hit (many) homers.

Damn. This pitcher has good stats. Gonna be tough.

Beckham really needs to get on base. Cmon Gordon. The new Gordon has to a.) get hit by a pitch here. b.) draw a walk. c.) get a bunt single. d.) base hit up the middle. I want one of the four. The old Gordon would pop out here.

Nice play by Sanchez. Need that leather to win big league games.

No matter what happens, good call to pitch Robertson. Gives Sox one more half inning to win it. If Sox can't score in the 10th, it's the hitters fault. Good call Robin.

Should be interesting to see if the pen does the job now that Robertson is done for the night. Unless he goes one more inning which he actually should.

LaRoche shuts up the haters! Like me! What a bomb. Tie game.

Are pitchers who have Tommy John in constant pain? PTATC?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 02:00 AM) Seems now every AL Central team has used the White Sox as a momentum booster to rocket back up in the standings. After beating CLE the first game in that series, they were close to being down for the count until we pulled them back into the race. Every one of 'em. You are right. QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 02:10 AM) That Cabrera signing could be one of the worst free agent acquisitions ever made by the White Sox. Just pathetic signing. He's a miserable hitter (currently). QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 02:10 AM) Why the f*** is Bonifacio not playing against a LHP? He is a complete waste of a roster spot if they're going to use him. Cmon. Boni stinks. He's no answer. QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 02:13 AM) They got Swirsky because he was available to go on the road for 11 days. He's not there to replace Hawk, so lay off of him. I love Swirsk. QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 02:21 AM) Holy f***, Robin must be reading Soxtalk, as several were b****ing about him not pinch-hitting for Flowers. And look, it actually worked! And because of that I will say "hey Greg, go f*** yourself"! Folks' hatred of Greg has gotten 'em banned before. Don't lose it cause of me. I'm just another voice. Oops. Jose whiffs. One out.

Four hits so far? You gotta be bleepin me. Please at least fire our hitting coach after tonight. Do something. These fans deserve a win tonight.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 06:25 AM) You're joking, right? You think Adam LaRoche can hit a grounder up the middle on purpose? I'm not a fan of guys who hit right into the shift in key situations. It's ignorant batting and selfish play IMO.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 11:37 AM) It is funny how the Bulls smear campaign organized months ago vs Thibs has been successful. Even thiugh he coached without his best player more than half the games during his tenure, he has a.top 5 all time winning percentage. His offense is old, horrible etc. yet somehow it was top 10 in efficiency with guys like Aaron Brooks and Kirk Hinrich getting decent minutes. He ran players into the ground, yet the only 2 with real heavy minutes were Pau, having his best season in years, and Jimmy Buckets, who somehow overcame being run into the ground last year and this to be voted the leagues most improved player. Maybe Thibs had to go, but there is no basketball reason that needed to happen. The hatchet job started stealthfully months ago, and kept on continuing. Just the other day i heard a media member slammimg Thibs for playing Noah 40 minutes a night on one leg. He played 40 minutes in 2 games this year. One was OT, one was double OT. The total lack of class the Bulls organization showed will bite them in the ass one day. I hope the Mayor succeeds, but I doubt he will squeeze more wins out of the team if the players reamin the same and Rose plays less than half the time. Awesome post Dick Allen. This Bulls team is not going to win more games with Fred than it did with Thibs.

Here we go again. Detroit coming to town. Are the Sox going to be just what the doctor ordered for Detroit? Minnesota hasn't slowed down since getting back on track with a 4-game sweep of the Sox. Cleveland feasted and started its recovery after dusting off the Sox and KC of course used that series opening romp to its quick start. They have settled down and need to play the Sox again. Now Detroit gets to turn its season around by playing the Sox. Can the Sox finally sweep a beaten/bruised, lousy Detroit team or let it get off the mat?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 04:39 AM) It was put together with some flaws but with enough talent to potentially overcome them. Unfortunately outside of Beckham and Rodon, no one has overachieved on their expectations for the season. The problem comes with Melky and Samardzija falling incredibly short of what was expected so far. I respect you fathom, but our front office and scouts again failed miserably to PROJECT correctly. LaRoche is done, just a tad better than Paulie at the end (that grounder he hit up the middle into the shift made me laugh; how can he be so stubborn or dumb?). Melky is an atrocity and Jennings is beyond bad. I won't go through all the stiffs like Noesi as well. Duke has been acceptable I guess. They projected well on Robertson and Abreu. Also they failed to realize Gillaspie is not acceptable and Micah was not ready. As a result this team was put together very poorly. They also failed to project Tyler going downhill from an average season. I don't like the team makeup.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 05:23 AM) It's just a very bad team. Starting pitching has looked much better, but they are so bad in every other area of the game. When you have a lineup with 3-4 guys who should be batting 9th, it's going to be hard to score. Amen. This team blows. It is a miserably put together baseball team.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 05:17 AM) Jennings didn't cost the Sox the game. He sort of did.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 04:20 AM) A lot of people on this site don't seem to grasp the concept that there are varying levels of suck. I'm continuously seeing "no point in pinch-hitting for/replacing this guy, they all suck", despite the fact one sucks way worse than the other. I still disagree. The pinch hitters would not have come through, either. Our pinch hitters probably shouldn't be in the big leagues. I'm still not convinced Conor is a big leaguer. I know Boni isn't. Soto sucks. There are levels of suck, but at least Flowers has home run power, albeit he's only going to hit about five all season at this rate. QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 04:24 AM) Melky is just bad. .235 average in the 2 hole. Use someone else!! Melky is so bad it's laughable. I'd rather see Will Farrell get called up and play than Melky. At least it'd be funny and not downright sad. QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 04:53 AM) Well, that's a given. Really not sure what they're saving Conor for tonight. He's easily one of the most dangerous bats vs RHP I hear you but "dangerous" is no word to use when talking about Conor. I know you probably meant on our team, but I'm just sayin Conor Gillaspie and the word "dangerous" do not belong in the same sentence unless it's "Conor playing third is dangerous to a team's defensive metrics." QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 05:04 AM) You deserve to lose when you have 6 hits and 1 run in 11 innings while the other teams has 4 errors. Amen. That's the bottom line. p.s. Jennings is one of the worst pitchers the Sox have had in a while IMO. Put him in and duck.

You guys are nuts. Sox don't have the roster to be pinch hitting here and there. All the candidates to pinch hit suck as well.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 04:13 AM) Ok, we really need to score a run here. I don't see us going much longer without givin up a run to this lineup. First things first, pinch hit for Flowers. Don't throw away an out here. Pinch hit whom? Shuck? Boni? They suck as well. Tyler once in a blue moon gets into one for a rare HR.
