QUOTE (oldsox @ May 22, 2015 -> 09:41 PM) Could be worse........Dodgers shut out 3 games in a row. Would they take LaRoche off our hands? Get him back in the NL.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2015 -> 12:03 AM) Typically when a team is one of, if not the worst, teams in the Majors in hitting, fielding and base running, they're going to lose a lot of games. If they can't get things turned around, thoughts of contending will be done in a few weeks. Avi being injured highlights just how weak the offense is. Eaton's been far and away the most productive player this week. Need to shuffle some things in the order though, and I would suggest Conor batting 2nd and Melky in the 6-7 range. Good post by Fathom. Once we're out of contention I remain in favor of trading everybody we acquired last year for this year. Re-do it, baby! QUOTE (Baron @ May 24, 2015 -> 12:03 AM) Soto should be playing a majority of the games and PHing whenever Flowers is up with a huge chance on the line as far as I'm concerned. Atleast until Flowers is replaced. But that wont happen. The excuse factory this management and coaching staff has for him is astounding. Cmon. It's a reasonable post, but Soto is not a major league player at this stage, either. Soto is lousy. Bring up whoever is catcher in AAA for the heck of it. Not Soto.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 23, 2015 -> 10:56 PM) May owes the White Sox a dinner tab....4 of career 6 victories, top two strikeout performances. This line-up is cinnamon toast crunch without Avi. Cabrera and Sanchez need to sit. But might not have another option in LF, unfortunately. No options exist

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 23, 2015 -> 10:54 PM) WHY IS HE STILL ON THIS f***ING TEAM I think it was last years occasional power he showed

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 23, 2015 -> 10:55 PM) How can RV justify .205 hitter with a .269 OBP to hit in that spot? Use the dam bench that is why you have one. The sox bench is awful. Just horrific

Please fire somebody on the offensive side. Now

I forgot to add Paulie lives in a warm weather climate. No winters. Is there a guy alive with a more perfect life right now? My gosh. Not even 40.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 23, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) As with thursdsy 4 runs is just to many to come back from. This team sucks. If Sox don't score 5 today, everybody in the hitting equation should be fired the way the ball is flying out of the place.

Paulie's got it made. He appears to be a great guy. He's a multi millionaire. He has a beautiful wife. Two little boys who are just entering their Little League (and up) years. Has a daughter. My gosh at 37 he has it all. Continued health and happiness to the Konerkos.

QUOTE (PorkChopExpress @ May 23, 2015 -> 09:17 PM) They rocked him last time they faced him, too. Not good if the Twins have Sale's number. As many times as these teams face each other, if you are a hitter with a clue you should be able to hit a guy.

They should let Paulie be co-manager. Love listening to him on the broadcast.

Sale is really getting rocked. 4-1 Twins.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 23, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Pickup hockey at his age? Interesting. Thing is, he's not real old. He's not even 40. Prime pickup hockey years.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 23, 2015 -> 09:06 PM) Whatever Vince Coleman is telling our guys is either not working at all or is working perfectly. I'm not sure which. Vince needs to tell them, "Do not run unless it's a hit and run. You are not fast enough to steal second base."

The Lexi base hit was great, but why try to steal?? Hit and run maybe. Sox can't steal bases so why try?

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 23, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) It would be nice if the Sox can figure out the elite May today It's not hard to hit homers in the Cell. You'd think Melky could add that 3-4 feet that's been missing on his drives.

Nearing 30 pitches already. Yuk.

Sale throwing BP today. 2-0 Minnie.

LOL. Hunter blasts a HR foul then hits one fair. He shoulda been signed by the White Sox long, long ago.

Melky five feet short of a homer. Abreu whiffs. He's free swinging.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Pure class for a class guy! Everything about it was special.

I was thinking about stereotypes today and wondering if they were true. Republicans: An ornery, selfish bunch of well to do money grubbers who have decided it's their way or the highway. They will in no way cooperate with a Democratic president and will try to block any idea of that democratic president good or bad. It doesn't really help them get elected, but they do that anyway. They are against helping people who are down on their luck and pretty much are elitist, rich snobs. (PLEASE RATE MY STEREOTYPE). Democrats: A group of people with an inherent advantage because the media abhor Republicans and want Democrats to run our country at any cost. Are very weak leaders and have no clue how to even start getting those Republicans to pass their measures for the betterment of the country. Pretty much a passive, blase group that is satisfied just being in power, not getting anything accomplished. Have the right idea wanting affordable or even free health care, but again have bad ideas as how to implement this without bankrupting the hospitals and getting doctors to seriously consider other professions (PLEASE RATE MY STEREOTYPE).

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 23, 2015 -> 12:16 PM) HA! Oh, I have, and with very good reason. The results of Jerry Reinsdorf's 35 years at the helm of this franchise have been a disaster. He has only one season during his tenure as owner that he can point to and really claim to be an exciting and successful one - '05. During the other 34 years, the team only won the division a measly four times, and the playoff appearances those four years were anything but memorable. And then we wonder why the fan base is dormant. Why we have to operate like a small market team because the team Reinsdorf routinely runs out there is not postseason caliber. That is really a horrible record of futility, no matter how you look at it. No sustainable success for three and a half decades now. Meanwhile, over the years he's publicly fought with the likes of Harry Caray, Carlton Fisk and Larry Himes while remaining unapologetically loyal to people like Kenny Williams, Buddy Bell, Robin Ventura, etc. He dumps Harry Caray and WGN in the '80s in favor of SportsVision. He hires Hawk Harrelson to be GM and ends up losing Tony LaRussa in the process. He blackmails the state of Illinois to build him a new stadium while also providing him with a sweetheart lease deal, and then turns around and directs the construction of an abysmally designed ballpark. He fires Himes who drafted Frank Thomas, Ventura, Jack McDowell, Alex Fernandez, Jason Bere, and who traded for Lance Johnson and Wilson Alvarez, claiming Himes got the team from "point A to point B", but he didn't think he could get the team to "point C", i.e., the World Series. In his judgement, Ron Schueler was the guy who could do that. How'd that work out for us! It could have happened in '94, except the Chairman chose his burning desire to break the players' union over the World Series aspirations of his team and fans that year. Terry Freaking Bevington! White flag trade. The list goes on and on and on with this failure. This franchise is in desperate need of new leadership, strategy and vision from the very top. That is very clear. Jerry Reinsdorf has been the owner now for 35 years, and he holds claim to a very unimpressive record of achievement. Yes, the WS championship in '05 was amazing, but that does and cannot mask the other 34 years. The White Sox need new ownership. It's that simple. Not a bad post. I think most of us give Jerry a pass because he did deliver one WS, which isn't bad. As far as the Sox fans who are praising the Cubs in any way, please stop. That's just silly and senseless. Screw the Cubs. They've been a total joke. If this rebuild turns them into a perennial title contender like the Blackhawks in hockey, then we can talk. But for now, please, the Cubs are an ultimate joke.

CNN said tonight the bikers may be targeting police vehicles to blow them up. My gawd. Throw all these bastards into prison and throw away the key! Barbaric. Hope these bastard bikers are ready to do the time when they do that crime.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ May 23, 2015 -> 04:09 AM) The way things are going I doubt that. I think that will only change when other people run this organization. You may be right (lyrics, Billy Joel). ... I was thinking that baseball hasn't done the Sox any favors either with the unbalanced schedule. I can't see the Sox becoming an organization that can beat those Central teams consistently. We're always going to be the big-city team that the other teams in our division want to beat. Sox are so nonchalant and noncompetitive (blah might be a better word) against its own divisional brethren that a .500 record any year overall in the Central would be a helluva record. I can't believe baseball cow-towed to Steinbrenner who wanted to play the Red Sox 19 times a year and agreed to this bulls*** unbalanced schedule. Sox would fare much better playing all the teams, not the boring Central Division squads. Sox fans are smart ... who the hell wants to go see the Twins, Royals and Indians all the time? Not our paying customers.
