fathom

QUOTE (Chris Sale @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) 2 whole runs? Wow, Gonzalez sucks. You can't expect any reasonable offense to cover a massive spread like that. This is nearly as awful of a pitching performance as Quintana's 3-run debacle last night. Sox are in the National League...offense and home runs are overrated, right?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 21, 2016 -> 07:52 PM) If I trusted Hahn to evaluate talent HA!

Thanks ump...of course their fly ball clears the fence.

Haha, this umpire sucks. 0-1 pitch to Cain was a perfect strike. https://twitter.com/WhiteSoxUmp/status/734109004515934212

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 21, 2016 -> 07:48 PM) This team f***ing sucks. What a big bag of ass. Just trade everyone lol Still have two months to see how they play. Definitely don't want to be in-between again like last year.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 21, 2016 -> 07:47 PM) Abreu f***ing sucks. losing himself a TON of money in arbitration after this year.

Worst stretch of games I've ever seen from Abreu. Looks like he's lost all confidence. Of course, he'll be batting 2nd tomorrow.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) How about a day off

Love to see a hit and run here.

Got dominated once again by a starting pitcher

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:33 PM) Nah. He wouldn't have. He wanted to be on the north side. He wanted the money first. When it didn't come, he chose to go back to build his value up. The Cubs definitely didn't expect him back.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:32 PM) not a fan of pitchouts really. Id' love to see the stats on them. Why not? Huge fan, great way to steal an out if you guess right

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:31 PM) The real argument is why they didn't go after either Span (no draft pick) or Ian Desmond, because Fowler was never coming to the Sox. You have no idea if this is true. If they gave him the 3/45 or so, he would have signed here.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) I watched Jackson the last few years in Detroit and Seattle fairly closely. He's a .5 to 1 WAR player. The only good thing signing him did is push everyone else down the defensive spectrum. He got hot last year at the end to salvage an otherwise brutal year at the plate where he was this bad or even worse for long stretches. And the Cubs were able to protect him by having him face lefties only

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:28 PM) Says a guy who listened to Hawk for how long? The prize shelf thing is worse than anything Hawk's ever done.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) Benetti is not a good announcer. That line about grown men was so dumb. He's been less corny the last few games at least.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) I thought we got rid of Flowers? Austin Jackson's line after that AB: 220/284/305. Should have f***ing signed Fowler. I told a lot of you that it was a pointless upgrade. I guess it allowed Eaton to move to RF but Jackson's bat is toast. Fowler's already +3.0 in terms of fWAR compared to Jackson. Meanwhile, I'm sure Jackson will play every day because this team's bench construction is ridiculous.

HATE watching Jackson bat. Can't turn on a fastball to save his life.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2016 -> 07:21 PM) Rotten luck the last 10 days or so in addition to periods of poor play. Been about 5 fly balls that I thought were gone that stayed in the park.

awful strike call on 2-1 pitch

Of course off the top of the wall. Nice swing though

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) Good Lord. Did someone die? When you wake up tomorrow morning, it doesn't matter what place the White Sox in. Life is a miracle. Relax. Lame

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:05 PM) There's no planet on which a struggling player should bat second. The 2 spot is the first or second most important slot in the game (after the 4 spot) Abreu also sucks against LHP for the 2nd year in a row. Can't believe it's not Rollins and his 1.433 OPS vs LHP batting 2nd.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 21, 2016 -> 08:03 PM) of course. I really have no expectations for this team anymore. They're a .500 team and nothing more. Enjoy tonight. Could be last night this year of going to bed with them in first

Abreu was so overpowered by the fastball that at bat. He's killing this offense
