Christopher Kamka ‏@ckamka 28m28 minutes ago Jose Quintana is 4-8. White Sox runs scored in the 8 losses: 1-0-1-1-1-0-0-1

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 03:04 AM) I still think they gave up on Micah way too quickly. Was his defense really costing us a lot of runs? I really can't recall him be THAT horrible in order to sacrifice him for a .160 hitter Yes, it was on pace to be the worst of all time

I'm waiting for a Chicago media member to suggest Samardzija for Castro. Just say no to Castro, he's been as bad as Avi/Melky/Alexei.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 02:57 AM) Hah, their "great young hitters" are going to have to do a lot better than they're doing right now if the Cubs hope to run things. It's their pitching that's carrying them. Bosio is a sensational pitching coach.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 03:54 AM) Again why would people pay hard earned money to see this crap. It is summer in a hitters ballpark they still suck. They don't even come close to hitting home runs. Maybe 1-2 fly balls to the warning track per game it seems.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 03:53 AM) Beckham is batting like .205, he is horrible at hitting Davidson might hit .150 in the big leagues, but if he can play solid defense and hit an occasional homer and walk, he could probably end up being just as valuable as most of these guys.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 03:49 AM) If every single batter isn't going up to Q and apologizing ferociously, they're wrong. Call up Micah and Davidson. Davidson can't be any worse than Conor and then Gordon can go back to a backup INF role. Davidson absolutely should be called up to platoon at 3rd base. Beckham's been horrible vs LHP this year.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 03:47 AM) The NL is terrible this year, only 6 teams with winning records and with how bad the Mets are at offense, I would be completely shocked if the Cubs aren't in the playoffs. At this point the only question is if they'll have a home game in the 1-game playoff or not. Tomorrow will be a huge game for the Cardinals. Win and they're back up 8.5. If they lose, it's 6.5 with a series vs Pitt while the Cubs get the White Sox. The Cardinals offense looks terribly lately, as something seems wrong with Carpenter.

This offense is absolutely pathetic, but of course nothing will change.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 03:32 AM) Granting his own timeouts now. Total clown Cardinals look like the White Sox lately. Pitcher just launched one into CF on easy dp

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 02:30 AM) Was Encarnacion not running or is he just Konerko fast? Was feeding his parrot

Meanwhile Angel Hernandez and his crew sucks beyond belief in Cubs game. This has the makings of a terrible baseball day.

No shock that Angel Hernandez and his crew with another awful game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 03:21 AM) Jesus Christ. WHY DO WE HAVE RIGHTIES ON THE BENCH UNUSED. LaRoche is getting the veteran treatment where he won't be benched, regardless of what the splits say.

Awful at bat by Avi

Sanchez does have the only RBI.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 03:03 AM) 6 2/3 of 1 run ball off this clown. Lineup has no firepower against LHP. Incredibly poor construction of the roster.

Sanchez is awful at the fundamentals

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 01:57 AM) Attendance tonight is 17028. Ouch

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 02:51 AM) Decent may be a stretch for Soto. Vs LHP he's like Babe Ruth compares to LaRoche

Q is pitching a hell of a game

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 01:47 AM) No reason for Bonifacio to be on this roster if you don't use him like that. Just a waste of space for two months now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 02:44 AM) Well you know I would. 0/6 against the lefties the last 2 nights. Woulda been nice to see him have a day off and have Bonifacio in somewhere. He had good numbers against Buehrle before last night so maybe tonight. No reason for Soto not to be playing one of these games to give you a decent DH

If you can get the Cardinals to take LaRoche and his contract, would you do it? Seems like a no-brainer

Avi needs to drive those hangers. Been a long time since he homered.
