I guess some Republicans do want the challenge of running against Hillary. Good luck to them. She's going to be running on a very general platform, issues that nobody can refute. i.e. Equal pay for women in all jobs. And other women's rights issues. That's what I read today. Brilliant. But what Republican is dumb enough to want to be defeated by Hillary? Why not wait eight years and give it a better shot.

I am depressed. Sunday is the day she declares she's running for President of the United States? I read her main points of emphasis will be equal pay for women and some other women's rights issues. SO SMART!!! Keep it general and get 95 percent or more of the female vote. That is gonna help greatly as she becomes the first woman president. s*** ... she ought to just come out and say it. Run on that platform. Tell all women ... "it's time! A woman needs to get her chance to run this country!" Ah who am I kidding. She won't need to say it. The equal pay thing is genius. Nobody can disagree with her and she will be seen as a hero to all.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Apr 12, 2015 -> 03:46 AM) I agree with the first 2 lines. We need Crain from 2 years ago. Even if he's ready now, the chances of that are not great. The Sox need YOUNG arms for the pen. The lack of them is one of the reasons that "all in" might have been a year premature. But they are going to have to go through minor league arms and hopefully some will quickly develop. Putnam sucked every year but last year, so there's no reason to give him a long leash. I love the people who use the haiku style of posting. I used to do that.

If Robin has to go someday I'd choose the Twins' former skipper. Why not? And if not him, Leyland or LaRussa if they'd do it.

I think those of us who b**** and moan a lot need to post after victories. Nice win today. Homers from two new guys and our closer was awesome and our set-up guy was effective. Gotta love that. I didn't get to watch the game so I don't know if the Sox were crisp defensively or not. Sounds like Shark did a nice job. I'm sure people were freaking during the 4-run second vs. a crappy Twins team. Good job White Sox. 1-4 is a start. Would be nice to win this series.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 05:00 AM) Marcus Semien 6/16 and almost out RBIing the whole Sox team with 5 already. Our franchise is a joke, let's face it. I've watched some A's games already and I don't give a f*** what the metrics say ... Semien passes the eye test big time. He's a good player. Damn.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 12:16 AM) Better than that, as Eaton was sliding the catcher's mitt was right in front of him so he literally grabbed the catcher's mitt and pulled it off. It was kind of cool how badly he wanted to score, I'll give Adam that. I'm just furious, simply insane he tried to score down six runs. Geezus. Truly I think he should be fined a few bucks for that. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 12:19 AM) Well LaRoche shouldn't have been in the lineup against a lefty today but that's a different matter. I've seen enough to agree with Balta. LaRoche can't play against lefties. So who is our other DH when he sits? Viciedo would be a good platoon partner though he did whiff a lot. QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 02:01 AM) What a absolutely terrible game to be at. Had awesome seats and literally saw no action the entire game. I'm not one to overreact to a bad couple games, but this team desperately needs to get its act together soon. They're digging themselves a hole that's going to be tough to get out of. I feel your pain. Had to be a helluva traffic jam too to watch that crap. I mean Sox are going to have to play good baseball to ever beat KC, Det or Cleveland, good teams all. Play this kinda baseball and we seriously might lose 90-95 games.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 11:11 PM) Holy cow, this team is so freaking dumb. Way to tag for no reason. Here's another reason I want to punch the wall, scream and freak out on here. Too many things the Sox do we shrug off as "no big deal. It wouldn't have mattered." You f***ing do not tag up, down six runs!!!! What a pathetic play by Eaton. Why the f*** would you try to score on that except for, "it didn't matter anyway. We weren't going to win." This team desperately needs a mulligan as Hawk said to re-start the season. But Robin can't yell at the guys or turn over tables in the clubhouse. Nobody can do anything because "baseball is a marathon." yeah, sit back and try to score down 6-0 in the ninth inning on a shallow fly ball to left. PATHETIC, EATON! p.s. great take by fathom.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 11:06 PM) You know what would fix this team. Joke about it now, but I think you will see some clean shaven Sox soon. Time to get to work and quit acting like you are the Giants or a team that has won something.

At least the pressure is off this lousy team. At 0-4 and with modern society having a short attention span, most everybody will have given up on this team after the ninth inning today. So the players can relax and maybe score some runs and win some games. The non zealot fan might pay attention again if we ever get four or five over .500. Til then relax White Sox cause nobody cares.

Sox often sign the wrong guys. Sox had chances to get Hunter even when he was a young-un. ... Thank god we acquired Pods during the glory years.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 10:05 PM) If they all shaved, I could see them pulling off a ten game winning streak. You got to admit, the beards don't look good when a team is this bad (so far). At least admit that. QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 10:07 PM) The laid back comfort zone with Ventura has to end, Sox have no sense of urgency ever under Ventura. I don't particularly like Robin, but this is a cliche you are aware. We had the fiery, crazy Ozzie and people wanted him gone. Now we have the laid back Robin and we're going to hear more and more about how we need fire. QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 10:51 PM) We have 0 quality starts and 4 guys we're counting on for offense (Eaton, Melky, LaRoche, Alexei) with what, 4 hits combined? I'm finding it very difficult to blame Robin for this. I didn't want to disagree with the offseason euphoria, but I did dispress my displeasure at the Melky acquisition and the LaRoche signing scared me because he's old by today's standards. Not giving up, but I agree with those fans who just booed that pathetic throw by Flowers.

I'm starting to think our advanced scouts suck. We are a pathetic baseball team through five innings of Friday. Sox better string some runs together cause it looks like Noesi is about done for today meaning bullpen is a coming. I"m out. Have to go do something. Sox suck (so far). Get it together WHITE SOX! Please don't blast me for my observation about the beards, but they look very fricking stupid on winless ballplayers. Game not over yet. RALLY time White Sox.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 04:50 AM) Good teams make their moves in August. Lot of pressure on the Sox to right the ship against Minnie considering Minnesota scored one run in 3 games vs. Detroit. I'd take two out of three. Hard to sweep anybody nowadays.

Robin has to be sick of this s***. I need to listen to his postgame today. I hope he told it like it is at least and said we got outplayed in all facets during those 3 horrific (from a Sox standpoint) games. I know it's just three games but the only guys to make me happy I bought mlb.com were Abreu and A. Garcia. That Flowers bomb was a thing of beauty, too.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) Greg, stop. The season's way too early for "trade deadline" or firesale talk. OK I'm out for today. Sox ruined the week for me. Adios.

Oh no, this 0-3 made me realize some fans may be calling for the Sox to lose as many games as possible to get a better draft pick. NOOoooooooooooo. Please nooooooooo.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:52 PM) I forgot how much fun baseball season is. Thing is, the Sox do this to the fan. I mean what's with the 0-3 crap? Win a game out of 3 on the road and life goes on.

I love Shark's enthusiasm in hitting Cain, but Cain was the star of this series.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:47 PM) I was so pumped for this season, and in a couple days this team managed to kill my enthusiasm. Great job guys. We better beat on the Twins. QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:47 PM) By game 6, he'll want Ozzie back I always want Ozzie back in some capacity.

Embarrassing or LOL however you want to look at it. KC is now 16-6 vs. Chicago over the last 22 games. Nice. I hope LaRoche goes ballistic in the clubhouse after this game.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:41 PM) Does anyone think we are going to score now? Hope the Sox remember this game when they are up 2-0 on a team in a 3 game series. Go for the throat, baby. Got to complete sweeps when they are offered up to you.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:37 PM) I'm just gonna go live in the woods every time we play KC from now on. Or Detroit. Or Cleveland. Or Minnie.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:25 PM) Actually nearly every site I saw that has a collection of voters had the Sox ranked 3rd in the AL Central. And the Sox absolutely do have speed, with 4 guys that can get 20 this year. I don't think Eaton is that fast in the basestealing sense. Great catch, though. Micah may never get on base to steal. Who else is fast? QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:33 PM) So much for the talk of making pitchers work. I did not see last nights game but Monday and today has shown me that this team has the same mentality of previous teams, OBP is not part of their mentality. Nice job getting off to a slow start. 0-3 is unacceptable.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:17 PM) A slow start would be a killer to any momentum gained during the offseason Why were all the experts not realizing the Sox still have lousy defense, no speed, iffy bullpen and hitters who don't walk? I don't get it. The offseason talk was DOMINATION.
