LOL. Worst team in baseball except maybe for the Marlins. And I know nothing about their young players. Would u take the Marlins roster over the White Sox roster right now?

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 9, 2013 -> 03:37 AM) Think we're going to get a good return on him? I think we're going to get a ton of Class A prospects for a lot of our players, plus cash, and I'll leave it up to our minor league forecasters to tell us whether these guys are any good or not.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2013 -> 03:32 AM) Well, gonna get swept in a 4 game series by the Cubs. Something for Ventura to put on his resume when he's looking for a job after this season. Robin might be around a long, long time. The Sox wanted a quiet, professional stoic figure and got one.

Would I be out of line to say, "It's Ova?" We do not win games like this. Folks, Matt Thornton will not get the Sox much at all on the trade market. The guy is a very very poor pitcher. How can anybody dispute this? I am no pitching expert, but his fastball must be straight as an arrow. He throws a ton of balls, then lays the fastball in there and it almost always gets crushed. Who they hell is going to give up anything for Matt Thornton?

It must suck to be Matt Thornton, except on payday. He is so mediocre to lousy it's ridiculous.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 9, 2013 -> 03:22 AM) All scouting reports on him mention this; an apparent problem with catching pitches. Not blocking - he does that fine. Just catching regular pitches. It dumbfounds me That could be a problem.

Should thornton have been a starter in his career til his arm fell off?

If the Sox are planning on losing another game tonight, this is the inning it falls apart. Cubs with some decent hitters (for them) coming up.

Lexi hustled, but just another out. Two outs. Anemic offense. It's up to Phegs.

Finally somebody who cares. Phegley baby!

Dumb play by Cubs. But Kepp can't get clutch two-out hit.

Kepp given a cookie on strike one. Shoulda swung.

It's hard to love Adam Dunn. Strike three.

Nice hit by Rios but the Cub still can get a DP to get out of inning.

Nice, make them pay for the stupid throw. Got to score here.

I bet it starts pouring and we lose 2-1 via rain.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2013 -> 02:35 AM) Oh dear Just pointing out how easy it is to sweep the Sox and how even when we were good, we rarely swept anybody.

There's a lot of teams that have the Sox number this year. Remember when our main complaint during the Ozzie days was we could never sweep anybody? We'd win the first two of a series and lose on Sunday and be all pissed.

Did that mom catch the HR ball? Or the dad. Pretty impressive.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2013 -> 02:27 AM) He's just a bad player who had a 2 week hot stretch in AAA and the Sox brought him up. If he's a bad player, get him outta the lineup. I'll trust you. I know nothing about him.

Ugh. Even the new young guys in the lineup fail(ed) with a runner on second and only one out.

Haven't they talked about trading Soriano forever? Isn't he the one guy in all of baseball nobody wants or dares to acquire?

Phegley fails that time. It's up to Tekotte (sp?). Will Garza blow him away with fastballs?

I hope Hawk isn't scoreboard watching. I think it's even a stretch to say KC is in the "race" at six games back. Tough to make up six games on the Tigers much less all the games we're back. good job alexei.

Nice job to get out of the jam, thanks in part to the fan. Would be nice to score some runs. You'd think the Sox one night would luck into 8-9 runs by law of averages.
