QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 04:14 AM) Sox are going to finish No. 1. This team is going to lose so many road games it'll make your head spin the second half. This home record is declining and declining every series the team plays in the Cell. You'll get your wish. This is by far the worst team in baseball. I mean when Gillaspie is maybe your best hitter? Cmon. That would be fantastic. I've seen some draft/minor league experts say Rondon could easily be top prospect in baseball in two years.

QUOTE (mike65 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 03:14 AM) Hey, guys, I have a twitter account and I just signed in to see who was following the site. One of the followers is a Chicago baseball writer named Paul Sulivan. Other followers are RotoBaseball, Dan Plesac, Mike Trout, Dustin Pedroia, Ben Badler and Nick Cafardo, among many others. I don't think this is a bogus site. Except this is the first real rumor that site has had. Everything else was just updates on games, etc.

How bad is Hawk expecting the Sox to be in the future if he thinks Beckham will be the best player on the squad? Also, why is Beckham playing if he's not 100%?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 04:12 AM) 40-60 after 100. That's about right. Stupid Astros are on fire (in terms of losing). They're looking good for the #1 spot.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 03:06 AM) I'm going to vote, "Robin Ventura has had minimal impact on our record" I don't think I've ever seen another manager get criticized less for having a team that their homer announcer states it the worst defensive, hitting and base running team he's ever seen. By no means am I blaming Ventura for this debacle of a season....but he's also shown absolutely no urgency to even try anything different when his team is in a slump.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 03:03 AM) It's so White Sox. Yep, to think that the Marlins have a good shot of finishing with a better record than the Sox is ridiculous given the Marlins giving up on the season before it ever started. Ventura has done nothing to deserve another year here.

How many managers in the majors wouldn't have been fired by now if their team performed like this?

Made up a game on the Marlins at least!

There goes Lindstrom's stock.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 02:10 AM) Phillies sign Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez 6 years 50 million. That's great, as one less starter for Red Sox to acquire. Also, many thoughts Cubs might get him.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 02:54 AM) Anyone notice that a good portion of Dayan's swings have been finished with two hands on the bat lately? Yep, good call

These guys keep making the same mistakes. It's amazing watching ADA make dumb decisions out there.

Nice to see Pirates struggling again offensively

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 27, 2013 -> 12:44 AM) I'm sorry but you don't move Peavy & Ramirez for a 1B and two relievers. Hell, I wouldn't take that package for just Peavy. You have to get a second legit prospect, especially if you're giving up Alexei as well. Yep, that would be a salary dump more than a trade to try and better the franchise.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 07:02 PM) Seems like Rios will be a guy that Hahn may have to hold onto until the last minute. Teams may not want to meet the Sox's asking price right now, but 5 days from now when the deadline is nearing its end, a team may make a desperation move to get that right-handed bat they need. Unless the Rangers are able to get Stanton, Pence or Bautista, I have a feeling Rios will be on the Rangers in a week.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 06:52 PM) Stanton seems to have a lot of recurring health issues. Not a fan of that Considering the cost it would take to get him, it seems like it would only create more holes for the organization.

0-5, 2k for Hawkins

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 01:59 AM) Heard that as well, was not psyched after hearing that IIRC, Rosenthal has been stressing that teams are concerned about having to take on the rest of Peavy's contract. B&B kept suggesting the Braves as a possible spot, but they don't have much at all to give up.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 02:53 AM) Keith Law on the score said the Sox should definitely get a much better haul for Peavy than the Cubs got for Garza That's good, as Rosenthal was on B&B earlier today and was much less optimistic about the whole Peavy situation.

Also, Angel Sanchez closing in on a .500 OPS in AAA. What were the Sox thinking making him the back-up infielder this year?

Wilkins continues to rake. Barnum and Anderson in big slumps

Semien 1-1, double

Nice to see Rangers struggle offensively this week vs the Yankees.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 08:47 PM) Diamondbacks President on MLBNetwork radio basically all but ruled out needing starting pitching(injured pitchers coming back/young help in minors) Not surprising, and not upsetting. I think their prospects are overrated due to the PCL factor.

Let the Tigers keeping making deep runs in the postseason only to fall short of the crown. The more innings on Verlander and Scherzer, the better.
