QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 08:00 AM) So James Shields would have been much better if Navarro was catching last night. That's all I need to know to realize how little you know. James Shields has thrown to I don't know how many catchers in his day. But a lot more than Dioner Navarro. If he can't throw to Alex Avila, having him on the team is beyond stupid. He's also been in Chicago and on the mound at USCF plenty in his career. If he is that big of a baby, maybe Cooper should have held his hand and walked him to the mound last night. Typical DA reading what he wants to read. I already said he might of still got rocked, or he might of pitched a quality start. We'll never know. But I'd still rather see him live or die with a guy he's had success with in the past. By your logic, maybe the Cubs front office should tell Jon Lester to stop pitching since it seems he only pitches well when Ross is catching him.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 07:52 AM) So maybe the Sox should bring back Tyler Flowers. This Robin bashing is getting hysterically stupid. Now he's an idiot for not having Navarro catch Shields like if he did, Shields would be a Cy Young guy. Navarro has been catching Latos. In fact after his first few starts, including some time in Cincinatti, it was something like 10 or 12 starts with an ERA below 2.00? How did that hold up once Latos started throwing meatballs? A guy who just got traded, pitching in a new environment with a catcher he's had success with in his career (who also happens to know his tendencies) would be a pretty smart move for the most part. He might of still got rocked. He might of pitched a quality start. We dont know, but I'd rather see a guy who can call a game he likes in there. But trying to explain anything coaching related to you is pointless. If you were running the Sox office, Greg Walker would still be the hitting coach.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 09:19 PM) All the teams know the Blackhawks are in a bind and already missing pieces. No one is just going to take Bickell without something to sweeten the deal. That's fine, but giving up young guys who are already in the NHL (or NHL ready) is just not smart. Bowman and company better hope a guy like Schmaltz is ready or if they are signing Vesey or something. I like Pokka, but if the organization thinks other guys are ahead of him (i.e. Gustafsson, Forsling, etc), you use someone like that to "sweeten" a deal.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 01:49 PM) ESPN reporting the Blackhawks are struggling to move Brian Bickell (no kidding). The kicker is, the name teams want in order to take the bad money is Teuvo Teravainen. This would be a mega loser trade. I would be furious if they move Teravainen in a cap dump. He could probably fetch you a solid young defenseman by himself if we were going that route. I'm surprised a cap floor team won't take a chance with Bickell for one year, unless they don't want to help the Hawks out. But moving cost controlled assets is not the way to go.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 06:13 PM) I didn't realize he pitched today. I thought Sale was scheduled. Dick Allen is that you?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 05:23 PM) WTF? This makes sense for the Padres. There was no commentary whatsoever about the White Sox and whether or not this was a good deal for them in that post. I come back for one trade and that's the response I get? Don't pay him no mind. I agree with what you were getting at. I think Johnson will benefit from their park big time.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 05:30 PM) JB Shuck FFS He's just not a CF. That's on Robin.

R.I.P. to the greatest ever. What a crazy year for iconic celebrity deaths.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 26, 2016 -> 09:07 AM) I moved back home, briefly, when I was 25. Ditto. And then again at 28. It's not a joke out here and I'm glad both my parents (although divorced) have that kind of compassion. There's a guy I know who is 33 and still lived with his parents. I think his culture is a bit different too.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 08:15 PM) Its the 2nd Yea I was confused for a bit as well. Get it together OP.

Holy s***. We won?!

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 30, 2016 -> 10:47 AM) Sox don't have any hope of getting Sale Rodon Ray. Third times definitely the charm right?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 30, 2016 -> 10:31 PM) They lost the series two nights ago. This is all on Durant/Westbrook. Yup. I knew after game 6 OKC was done. I'm almost pulling for Cleveland here. I can't believe I just typed that but that city deserves at least one title.

I wonder what DA has to say about all of this.

Love the way Kansas City plays defense.

If we lose, Kyyle should never do a game thread again and ChiSoxFanMike should be banned.

Kid would be a 2 WAR player right now if LA would just keep him in CF (but as a 4th OF, they can't obviously). Still pretty impressive for him to basically match what he did last season.

Crosby touched the Prince of Wales trophy. He did that in '09 and they won the cup so.....

Pens vs Sharks SCF. Officially.

Make that 3 hits for Anderson.

Stamkos is back for game 7.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 24, 2016 -> 10:27 PM) The Warriors basketball revolution is getting absolutely ruined by the Thunder. Would absolutely laugh if Golden State loses to OKC. All of the media and fans were convinced they were unstoppable, better than 72-10 Bulls, dynasty, etc.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 24, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) I don't particularly like Leury, but he makes sense as a bench option right now. Yep. Would love a Dyson like guy on our team who can pinch run and steal bases late. Not a fan of his either, but at least he has speed for days.

Battle of two undefeated pitchers. Only fitting you test your undefeated attendance streak Dunt. Go Sale!
