He's never been on the DL. One of the biggest mistakes in Sox history was to let him walk. He deserved a huge payday on the South Side. All pitchers should copy him; many Sox pitchers DID copy him. He's one of the rare baseball players worth every penny because of the example he sets for others. Get the ball and throw it. Don't f*** around. Pitch. His style rubs off on his teammates, if they have a brain. Cause they can see Buehrle's style works. I miss him greatly. Can't believe he's not a White Sox. He'll pitch forever if he wants to, like Moyer did. The name for him is crafty lefthander.

Great game. No complaints. I am a bit surprised the 2-0 lead got wiped away so quickly. I thought the Hawks just might run them out of the building. Hawks gave up way too many goals this series. I don't blame Crawford at all though he definitely didn't have the amazing acrobatic saves of a year ago. It wasn't meant to be, though it's a tough loss on home ice. Congratulations to a good Kings team that might win it all.

Semien certainly doesn't appear to be anything special, which is sad. He seems to have a clue in how to play the game, just doesn't hit enough. Maybe he'll emerge.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 08:06 PM) I think Sale will be the best pitcher to put on a White Sox uniform when it is all said and done. I LOVE Sale, but not in this era. Injuries.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 08:57 PM) Walsh had a pretty good 1908: 40-15, 1.42 ERA, 42 CG, 11 SHO, 6 SV, 464 IP, 56 BB, 269 K That's like comparing LeBron James to some guy who played in 1930. It's different eras. Even you Walsh lovers would admit mark would be in the top two of all time, then, if he was still a Sox.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 08:46 PM) Ed said read this Greg Ed Walsh is the best White Sox pitcher of all time. The HOF pitcher’s stats are gaudy. He stands third in WAR at 59.6. He is first in ERA with an incredible 1.81. He won 195 games while striking out 1,732 and tossed 249 complete games. While those numbers are fantastic, they are not what make him the best White Sox starting pitcher of all time. What makes him tops on this list are his 57 shutouts. That’s right, 57 complete-game shutouts set Walsh apart from every other pitcher who put on the uniform. I said "If the White Sox had made the right decision and re-signed Mark" there would be no question as to who the best Sox pitcher in history was. He'd be racking up accomplishment after accomplishment still.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 08:36 PM) Ed Walsh says WTF! Even Ed Walsh would agree with me on that one.

Paulie baby! He'd be one of the best hitters on the anemic Royals team.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 08:09 PM) If Buehrle is done today, he's looking at 10-1, 2.10 on June 1. His value is such he's worth every penny. Every pitcher should copy his fluid motion and how fast he works. They'd avoid the DL as he has. What a pro. If Sox had re-signed him would be a no brainer for best pitcher in Sox history.

Baseball umps are a disgrace. Sale fires a pitch right down the middle for a strike and they call it a ball. I wish they had replay on balls and strikes just to get these umps fired or calling the strike zone.

This is vintage Sox day. Paulie with a blast! Buehrle shutting out KC! Better beware, Quentin might get a big hit.

Well, that tragedy is officially "old news." Let's hope there are no more, but this past one has certainly exited the news cycle. With the killer dead, there's nothing left to report on. Prayers for all the victims and their loved ones.

Buehrle shutting the Royals out thru five on Sunday. The guy is the best! Should still be in a Sox jersey. One of the few pitchers earning every dollar with innings/effectiveness. Mark, BTW, has NEVER been on the DL. If he wants, when he decides to retire he will continue to make tons of money (compared to the average Joe) as a pitching coach. If he was still with the Sox there'd be no question he'd be one of the top five players in Sox history.

Heat win again, easier than last year's series.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 01:08 AM) I think Hillary is wisely being as quiet as possible on most substantive issues and questions like her "plan" but it's easy to have an ass made of you over the course of two years. Wait to see what matters, what people want, etc. when it's closer to time to actually run That's true. What Balta said is too. We'll see what she comes up with. I'll be very interested to see what happens. Maybe she'll become possessed and want to win the presidency to help the country more than just be a figurehead. I would assume being that the presidency will be pretty much conceded to her that she will accept it for history's sake. She'll forever be known as first woman president. Hopefully she'll bring something positive to the table. I do think my Bob Dole comparison is a good one, though. It's just that she'll face no real opposition while Dole faced the democratic machine which always gets a boost from the media.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 30, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) Possible to do any biking/work on a stationary bike? Yeah I'm probably going to have to go the bike route. Jogging/walking has not been good to me of late.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 31, 2014 -> 07:41 PM) I'm pretty sure that Hillary Clinton is aware that she can be beaten in a hard-fought presidential primary. Really? I think this one is different. She's going to be running as a "queen of England" type candidate. It's basically her turn to win and she knows it. The Republicans pretty much have no chance nowadays until (if) they ever get their s*** together. I don't think issues will really matter re. Hillary and the more she gets out there and speaks it might just hurt her. She's gotten cranky in the past on bad days and my personal feeling is she has a little Bob Dole in her, kind of an unlikeable quality (on TV). And though some of you may get mad at me for saying this (the people who think platforms truly matter), the how you appear on TV factor is one of the biggest if not THE biggest factors in an election. To her credit, Hillary will NEVER be as annoying on TV as Sarah Palin. The moment I see her or hear a word come out of her mouth, it's time to change channels. Ugh.

I'm done with this game. This is a game where the Sox's current weaknesses are showing up and it appears the pitching is horrific today with the bullpen about to have to pitch a ton of innings. Not in the mood for it. GO SOX! Wake up and prove me wrong, but today's game has the makings of a lousy one.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 30, 2014 -> 11:20 PM) I believe the freedom of speech amendment is the least understood part of the Constitution. But U of Kansas is going to lose tons of faculty over this policy and no other states are enacting it. Don't you think Kansas once again is acting like a bunch of clowns?

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 31, 2014 -> 04:26 PM) She is a career politician. Run or die. I thought her "husband" was the career politician. It should be very interesting to see her demeanor during the primaries. Will she embark on a rigorous traveling schedule or just assume Americans will vote for her in a landslide no matter what and not even campaign hard? At her age, if she wants to get after it and go stump all over the country, wow, I guess more power to her.

I disagree with Hawk. That's got to be an error.

.500 is rearing its head again. Sox can't make any distance north of .500 minus Abreu and Garcia.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 31, 2014 -> 06:46 PM) The White Sox have Jose Quintana under contract through 2020. How long are you hoping we're bad for? Seriously, Quintana is under contract for so long that if they traded for someone and brought that player up, that player would be able to hit free agency the same year Quintana would. The White Sox would have 6 years of control on Quintana and 6 years of control on a guy they traded for. It literally does not push anything back at all except makes it harder to win in 2015. Which I guess is probably why you want to do it. I agree. It's like some people are comfortable in "rebuilding" and sucking as long as we are rebuilding. It's a weird dynamic.

Awesome win. Crawford haters can shut up; he played well. And Kane!!!! Game 7 should be one of the great atmospheres. Hawks will be sky high with those fans and a chance to get back to Stanley Cup.

That's more like it. Hawks tie it up following some great action.
