I like bringing up DeLoach to go with DeJong. Can somebody tell me in layman's terms why I should be excited bout DeLoach? Is he good? And Nastrini which reminds me of Pastrami. What's his quick story. He got absolutely torched today. Is he any good? Did u guys like the trades in which we got DeLoach and Nastrini? Thanx in advance.

You guys laugh at me but I said all along they shoulda had Dave Winfield or even Jermaine Dye consult Eloy on baserunning, stretching etc. Similar bodies without these problems.

I wonder if Eloy's health problems will continue on his next team. Nobody will trade for him but somebody will sign him for the minimum when his Sox contract runs out. Maybe the Sox will just release him. He's old news. He's finished. Or if not finished the Sox can play this charade of him playing 2-3 weeks then getting hurt til his contract expires. Eloy you are such a disappointment sir.

First of all, great win. Crochet is an all star obviously. Mendick is an MLB player. This is how the Sox had been playing when they were on that 8-6 stretch. Why do you guys want to trade everybody who has a pulse on the Sox? Do u really think it'll accomplish anything except guarantee another 4-20 April next season or worse? You tank lovers/trade lovers just slay me. Don't understand it when you know this strategy didn't work before.

Crochet is so good it's insane. Wonder if the bullpen will hold the fort tonight.

I don't know about that Lipman. Hope you are right actually. I just envision the Sox as an MLB afterthought more than a big moneymaker considering our club's ineptitude. A new stadium, if it's a palace, would assure the Sox a place in MLB forever I'd think. Sox need to make this work with the Bears, let the Cubs be off on their own. It's funny to me how the Arlington Heights thing disappeared even with the Sox owning land out there. Seemed inevitable the Sox would move to suburbia someday.

Did the radio shows support we fans who thought the new play by play guy was ripping the fan "haters?" I'll admit I'm a huge hater and don't need to be called out by Schiffren. Anybody with any knowledge of baseball saw our lineup and pitching staff weren't just mediocre or a little bad, but historically bad.

Beni is a sub par hitter. He's a 3 out of 10 and that's being nice.

I don't know why they'd even ask about the fans. Nobody could be expected to pay to watch this crap more than once a season. Of course Sox fans know the game of baseball. Dumb topic. A team this bad doesn't deserve more than 10,000 a night.

When Jerry dies I wouldn't be surprised if baseball contracts the White Sox and grants an expansion team to somebody. Quite frankly which demographics would miss the White Sox? With the team looking like an unmitigated disaster for years to come, I don't think many people would cause a stink if baseball contracted the Sox and let another city have a team. The neighborhood of Comiskey isn't going to be affected. And Chicago has the Cubs which has an entirely different fanbase. The Sox don't have many fans and the ones they do have are miserable anyway over this inept franchise. I wonder if the legislature saves the day with the Sox included in the Bears stadium area plans. They could save the day if they build a baseball palace.

Yep, those days are over of 'combat' sports writing. Teams have won that war. Most outlets are full of young kids (not all, but most) especially mlb.com and they don't have the knowledge or clout to fire away at managers, owners, etc. Sox beat still has some veteran reporters like Sullivan, etc. I believe but it's a different era. Short stories designed to get clicks and not much of the old fashioned ripping of the team.

I think he may be 'fibbing.' I know the Royals fans and their broadcasters were not mocking the Sox but acting like the Sox were a real team to justify KC excitement over winning 6 of 7 vs. Chicago. Ditto the Twins announcers that one game I heard on the radio. They were lamenting how good the Sox were in the 60s when the announcer was a kid. ... That's OK. He came up with a good explanation. All forgiven.

And yes batting Vaughn second is a fireable offense even with few lineup options to consider.

If we lose 10-13 in a row we could be back to hoping Pedro gets the proverbial axe. Like I said 'excitement' from the Pham/Ramos/Mendick/Clevinger additions and DeJong/Lee revival is pretty much gone. Sox need to do something to get the .460 juices rolling again not the lose 8-9 of every 10 juices.

Man, Sox are back in the dregs of the league category. Well we rode Pham's hot streak for a while. Time to rest him two games a week. Vaughn after that two HR game is back in the tank. DeJong busts loose. We pretty much got raced by a better team. Sox are 4-20 on the road which is almost an automatic loss every night. 10-14 at home not gawd awful. Looks like we've come down to earth after the 8-6 run; should be interesting. All facets of the game are currently failing, especially the hitting.

Playoffs? OMG. An historically bad season is still in play. A merely embarrassing season (106 losses) is still in play. Playoffs are not in play!

Thank goodness. Acquiring him is a HUGE fireable offense. Getz should be truly embarrassed thinking this guy should be on the roster. Thank gawd he gawn.

I'll admit I was hopeful when I saw his bio. First round pick, etc. He blew chunks. Just get him out of the entire organization. He is another bust in a very difficult sport to master.

It's the new normal. Just pretend things are great in all aspects of the world including our fave baseball team. It's laughable to do the 'party is started' line at 18 under .500 like u say.

Six hits from the offense; Flexen getting rocked. Yanks enjoying mopping up the White Sox. Should be interesting to see if the Sox start plunging. The addition of Julks should be sparking the team. One through four in the order today was laughable. In today's lineup Vaughn, Remillard, Maldonado don't belong in the bigs. DeJong is back in a slump at .230.

I hear you but you have to admit the offense has actually been OK (before this series) since Getz acquired Pham, Mendick rejoined the team and Ramos was brought up. I think the 3 starters are OK: Crochet (A plus), Clevinger (B) and Fedde (B plus).

Vaughn needs a change of scenery to give his career one last chance. Wish the Sox would release him and do him a solid. Eloy obviously is what he is: A .240 hitter (remember I am not a statnik so I go by the old stats) with between 11 and 27 homers and about 72 RBI. And he's an injury risk.

I think Mendick will start hitting again. He's somewhat hitterish. Ramos I pray starts hitting again. Hate to have him be a bust. Pham is a delight.

Well, the fact Keller started today made this one an automatic loss. As much as I like to talk about the improvement Sox have made post-Pham and Mendick and Ramos, the boys don't stand much of a chance against a real team. They need to DFA Keller though. .... Schedule makers didn't do us any favors. Sox have been hot only to have to go to NYC to play the $$$-ridden Yankees.

Glad to see Julks is playing right away. Getz continues to make little moves.
