QUOTE (Mike F. @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 04:24 PM) This is sort of off-topic, but do you guys think that Danks will get into the HOF when he retires? My friend said that he has a shot. I was laughing hysterically, but I was wondering if anyone thought the same. Your friend is nuts.

So White Sox baseball. in the Ventura Era.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 08:45 PM) 2 runs after 6? No the Hr's 3rd time thru a lineup.

Pull Danks this is so predictable.

19th HR off JD

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 08:27 PM) Man I'm sick of s***ty baseball. Ssx fans have been thru a miserable year watching a boring team from day 1.

Adam bunting what a mess.

Soto continues to outplay Flowers everyday.

Ball should of been caught

Still have people that defend KW no matter what! He can't evaluate talent with any longterm success.

This is going to be a long night with Danks changeup so up in the zone.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 02:57 PM) Ironic using Ditka quotes. That is the point KW is about as irrelevant as Ditka for White Sox playoff baseball lately.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 02:34 PM) But KW got him. Every candidate has warts. One thing KW has is a shiny ring. I know, he got lucky one year and everything worked out, but even if that was true, why doesn't it happen to every dope with a GM title? I am no fan of KW, but you have to give him a world title and he has brought many good players to Chicago. If you are going to remember everything that went wrong, you have to remember everything that went right. Not every team has won a WS since KW's reign began. That said, I think this is much ado about nothing. Why would he go to Seattle and leave his new wife in Chicago? That is the problem with the Sox, one title equals lifetime employment. It is not working no playoffs since 2008. Losers and cowards live in the past.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 02:27 PM) Here's the problem with that. He is the AD. He hired Beckman. Beckman had issues at his previous job. The guy running the department needs to know what is going on. If his excuse is being naïve, that kind of goes against his job description. He needs to go. DA I want him gone just saying what is going on in Champaign right now.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 01:26 PM) I am fine with Kenny. Despite the disagreements, I think the front office is the best it has been because of a balance of scouting experience and aggression, versus the long term thinking and forward viewing. My big fear is that if Williams leaves we lose that faction of the organization that looks more at the intangibles and tools versus stats and numbers. Remember, it was Kenny down scouting Jose Abreu who pushed Jerry to sign him. You can think what you want of Kenny as a GM, but he has an eye for talent. KW track record on evaluating talent is absolutely terrible overall. Many teams looked at Abreu, he was no diamond in a rough only KW knew about.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 02:15 PM) If Thomas doesn't get fired, this doesn't matter. Early reports I see Thomas will survive, he is putting this on Beckman claiming he knew nothing about it.

Beckman gone now time Mike Thomas is FIRED also.

KW leaving would be so nice for 2016 and beyond.

Sox win 4-2

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 09:42 PM) Try something different with his mechanics. This current approach will never work I do not think AVI will be much of anything but very average.

Sit down Trumbo.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 07:48 PM) So is Dan Haren. They're already a playoff team, but they're throwing s*** at the wall and seeing what sticks without giving up anything from their still strong farm system. As long as you do not need him in a meaningful game, he will be fine.

Pull Rodon

Excited to see Rodon in 2016.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 06:25 PM) Cubs just acquired Fernando Rodney and DFAed Schlitter Rodney is on fumes like Soriano earlier.
