QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 16, 2015 -> 02:53 AM) god forbid they start winning WS's...Sox will lose an entire generation of potential fans Yep

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 16, 2015 -> 02:53 AM) This team sucks. It's a shame. They've got a ways to go and sometimes ya gotta wonder can they get it done. I can't do the hiring or firing so I have to keep faith. Not with this GM and Manager in place

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 16, 2015 -> 02:26 AM) Sometimes I forget how much I loathe the cubs It's just going to get worse. Bandwagon will make the Blackhawks fan base seem like a minor league squad.

What a pathetic effort tonight. Just an incredibly sloppy game by the Sox. Hahn and Ventura have had a HORRIBLE 2015.

QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 11:56 PM) And the cubs two years... No way, they hyped him up. They definitely didn't offer him ace money.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 12:53 AM) Dude, there is no chance of this happening. Scouts love the arm, someone will give up the pick for him a multi-year deal. There's going to be huge doubts about his ability to pitch in the AL, and there are so many great pitchers available, it could get awkward for him.

QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 12:52 AM) at this point he is 44-55 with a 4.00 ERA in his career. That's not Ace material for sure... Only person to ever view him as an ace was Billy Beane

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 11:48 PM) People think that Alexei started it with waving his fingers at Strop. I wouldn't be shocked if he got hit tomorrow. Also why Strop celebrated towards him. Doesn't make it ok to basically start playing with himself on the mound

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 11:48 PM) Need Mets and Nats to keep it close just so the Cubs can't plan Arrieta for wildcard game. The only bright side to if they have to pitch Arrieta in WC game is that it could mean one less start vs the Cardinals, a team he's dominated.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 12:45 AM) He's likely to recover to some extent, but while I normally see things pretty optimistically, I really hated the trade we made for him. He'll recover in the NL next year. I could totally see a situation where the Sox give him a QO, he declines and then no one signs him until May, when the Cubs give him a 1-year deal.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 12:40 AM) Too many guys LOB today, not going to win that way. Yep, and almost all strikeouts. Biggest out of the game was Abreu striking out with them loaded against Hendricks, who had nothing.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 12:36 AM) Another subpar effort from Ventura/Cooper. Madden uses his pen. Ventura/Cooper make damn sure that starter gets 6 and 100+ Yea, Ventura should worry about celebrations. That's the ticket to baseball success. Maddon's been managing every game for the last 10 days like it's a playoff game.

Absolutely disappointing...I also hate Cleveland and Boston for sucking so much vs the Sox at the end of July.

At this point, it seems rather certain Cubs will make the playoffs. Just have to hope Cardinals keep winning.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 08:33 PM) I'd love for the Cubs to win one day just for the party in Wrigleyville. I hate you again like it's 2005

Just saw the Strop celebration. I'll be disappointed if a message isn't sent by Ventura tomorrow. What a total scumbag.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 11:33 PM) Let's keep batting Adam LaSuck tomorrow. He's earned it. We'll get 1 hit, and that one runner will get picked off by Ross.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 11:32 PM) the Cubs are good but also have a horseshoe up their asses this year. How many 1 run games have they won? Run differential is closer to a team 7-8 wins above .500, not almost 20 Their bullpen has been great lately, especially since they got rid of Soriano. Maddox's always been an unbelievable manager in terms of using his bullpen.

Rick Hahn should be proud of this mediocre team he's put together. The difference in GM/Manager between the Cubs and Sox is sickening.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 11:16 PM) So that makes Tyler 1 for 16 with 2 runners on. So we got that going for us. Sounds like ideal number 2 hitter that they won't hit an run with

That was also where you need someone on the bench that bats lefty to hit for Saladno

Hate bunting

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 11:46 PM) LaRoche is indescribably bad Needs to retire

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 11:43 PM) Cub bullpen is shaky at best. It's been outstanding last two months

Now we are into good part of Cubs pen. I hate Samardzija
