It's going to get incredibly ugly in here if Samardzija gets torched

Seems like something has clicked for Barnum. Has an extra base hit in something like 9 of last 11 games.

Twins tie it on the old wild pitch offense

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 01:53 AM) That strength of schedule really did the Cubs a favor last weekend against Jeff Franceour and company Well, Phillies are the hottest team in baseball

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 03:14 AM) Check out the Giants' schedule the next 20-25 games. BRUTAL. If the Cubs can just win 3 or 4 of the 7 games vs the Giants in the next few weeks, it's hard to see the Giants outlasting them. The differences in schedule strength is unreal.

This Brewers lineup after trades is absolutely terrible. Making it way too easy for the Cubs this weekend, as Rizzo's on a HR tear.

Hell yes!

Thinking more about it today, I'm kinda surprised Robertson's name didn't come up more as a possibility for the Yanks or Astros. Both were looking for a big-time reliever yesterday, and the Astros were a finalist for him this past offseason.

Absolutely, as he excels vs LHP

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 04:10 AM) Then how do u explain 5 good outings in 10 tries? That's actually better than Rodon. You do realize that's not exactly a good ratio for a pitcher?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 05:07 AM) Is it our coaching? Something causes top prospects to suck. Horrible scouting. Happened far too often of late

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 05:02 AM) Avi is so lost. It's sad to see how much he's fallen. 30/30 in his case means walks and RBI

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 04:17 AM) Avi f ucking blows. Send his ass down to Charlotte. Worst offensive starter in baseball for those qualified. 33 RBI heading into August for the starting right fielder

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 03:48 AM) I refuse to take this laying down. Sox HAVE to win tomorrow and avoid the dreaded 3-game losing streak. This is not how sports work. Teams don't go on streak after streak in opposite directions. Wake up, White Sox! With my boy, Danks, going, it could easily be a replay of tonight. Why are the Sox suddenly s*** in the Cell (last homestand and this one)? Cause they've played KC, StL and NYY...3 of the best in all of baseball

Jennings has got to be DFA'd soon.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 02:35 AM) Was Rodon as terrible as his numbers look? just about, hung an insane number of offspeed pitches

Dan Jennings is awful as well.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 01:53 AM) Except that trading Shark yesterday would have been understandable. Yes to smart baseball fans, but the casual fan would have thought it was the Sox giving up

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 01:52 AM) No doubt about it. The fact they were trying to upgrade with a corner outfielder makes me think he might be traded this offseason. The front office isn't dumb, they can see how awful his WAR is.

Hawk just said Ben Revere is having a heck of a year....OPS of .709 = heck?

Avi seems to be regressing

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 02:44 AM) Very glad we stood pat at least. Thankfully didn't waste resources for Cespedes

Leury's going to pitch tonight

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 02:39 AM) Good call Robin, you dummy. Bring in a fresh arm you asshat. No long relievers on this poorly constructed roster

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 01:35 AM) I think we can fix one of them with Erik Johnson for now Wouldn't shock me one bit if Johnson comes up and has similar command to that of Rodon
