QUOTE (flavum @ May 29, 2014 -> 08:57 PM) Overall, I'm happy with 27-27 after 54. Sale missing 6 starts 9 different starting pitchers Jones out early in the season Avi out for the year Eaton, Gillaspie, Beckham, and Abreu all on the DL at some point All of this should add up to 23-31. That's where Abreu and Alexei playing like All-Stars, and bullpen arms like Putnam and Petricka got this team to .500--and now over. If this current starting rotation can stay intact the rest of the way, and no more injuries (wishful thinking), I give the Sox a decent shot at 87-75, which could get the 2nd wildcard. 27-27 down. Let's see if they have a couple 30-24's in them. We are 28-27

Anyone watching Takeover? Breeze vs Zayn was a top match of the year.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 29, 2014 -> 02:03 PM) I like how board went from panic mode Sale required TJ to even recommending preemptive TJ to suddenly tearing him down for missing a month with a sore arm in a year where 70 pitchers have gone down. Link to me tearing him down? Or saying he'd need TJ surgery. Don't lump the board into one giant poster here. No one is even tearing him down, just that for an ace to exceed expectations, they should not miss half their starts.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 29, 2014 -> 01:57 PM) Is missing one month considered half the year now? When it's May 29th, yes.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 29, 2014 -> 01:36 PM) Whatever. That's got to be expected. He's always going to miss time. He's still absolutely dominating everything right now. No one should be expected to miss half the year.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 29, 2014 -> 01:25 PM) A 'B' for Sale? Because he was hurt or what? There is no way you can justify him not having an A. His ERA+ is 241 right now, with a FIP of 1.78, not to mention a WHIP of .688, a K/9 of 10.7, and a K/BB of 5.38. If that doesn't garner an 'A' rating, there is no hope. Thats great but he's missed half the year

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 29, 2014 -> 01:12 PM) Two different reactions to "Sierra hits a walk off for the ChiSox" at the Blue Jays' board. "Terrible move by the Jays. Guy is going to be a monster. Think he's going to follow a similar path to Frank Thomas(great underrated hitter that gets unlucky as a jay, DFA by them and claimed by the sox and turns into a shining star)" "i guess he's not that useless after all." That first post is sarcastic. They absolutely despise him and rip on him every chance they can on that board.

A: Brazil, Croatia B: Spain, Netherlands C: Greece, Columbia D: Italy, Uruguay E: France, Ecuador F: Argentina, Nigeria G: Germany, USA H: Belgium, Algeria 16: Brazil over Netherlands Uruguay over Greece France Over Nigeria Germany over Algeria Croatia over Spain Italy over Columbia Argentina over Ecuador Belgium over USA 8: Brazil over Uruguay Germany over France Italy over Croatia Belgium over Argentina 4: Brazil over Germany Belgium over Italy 2: Brazil over Belgium

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 29, 2014 -> 10:52 AM) An A for Flowers but a C for Eaton? Eaton has been to the DL twice and has an obp 25 points lower and OPS 70 lower than Flowers. Expectations matter too. I would not have been surprised by a Flowers dfa by this point. Instead he has been great.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 29, 2014 -> 10:49 AM) And why do you need a top 5 if you are picking 3rd? $$$$$$

A: Gillaspie, Ramirez, Putnam, Petricka, Viciedo, Beckham, Abreu, Flowers B: Dunn, Nieto, Sierra, Belisario, Sale, Caroll, Quintana, Noesi, Rienzo C: Eaton, Lindstrom, Webb D: Garcia, Garcia, Semien, Cleto, John Danks F: De Aza, Konerko, Jordan Danks, Johnson, Paulino, Downs, Francisco, Veal, Jones That's about everyone except for Leesman and Guerra. Too early.

I liked rotowires take on Belisario today, thinking Guerra and Downs are next in line for our closer spot. Uh, what

I hate coffee culture as well as the pretentiousness around it.

Pale Hose Talk is going to hit its one millionth reply today. I bet I get it.

Sierra sheer joy out of him on that.

Sweeeeeeep

Another 3 0 greenlight?

Um why did he have a green light?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 28, 2014 -> 08:50 PM) Seth Lakso ‏@SethLakso 4m More Per an industry source, this is consensus #whitesox current draft board... 1- Aiken 2- Rodon 3- Kolek 4 - Nola 5- Jackson Sounds perfect

Nice! Could have made 3rd there though at least.

Thanks Bourne

Nice to see an efficient start for once by one of our starters, Noesi no less.

Crawford choking

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 28, 2014 -> 12:02 PM) If he ends up getting traded, I think we can expect a similar package to what the Sox got for Peavy last year. One good prospect and 3 high ceiling sorts. Then let's not trade him. And yeah that wrong kind of skills thing, what
