QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 03:44 PM) Because tomorrow night the A's have to play in Houston and a direct flight is just under 3 hours, so if teams play until 10 pm they don't get into the hotel until 3 a.m., and occasionally games do go into extra innings where they'd get in at 4-6 a.m. It costs teams money so not every team is nice enough to schedule the day game on a travel day, but it really is professional courtesy. If you want other teams to treat your guys well so that they're not getting into the hotel at 4:00 am before their next game, then you sacrifice some ticket sales to treat their guys well. If we were in a playoff race, we'd be flying to Cleveland, losing an hour for the time zone shift after tonight's game, so we'd be getting in at 1-2 a.m. and we'd be unhappy if our guys came out sluggish. Baltimore refuses to give teams afternoon getaway games at home, but complain to the league office when they are on the road and teams do not do it for them.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 03:44 PM) For some reason this game has felt like a loss all the way through. Now it is a loss. When it was 2-1 I had to remind myself Sox were winning. This Sox team blows. Prospects of next year just as dismal. If Ventura, KW and Hahn return it will be just as bad.

Wow this is so White Sox :lol:..........................Q screwed again..........Robertson not worth half what he is getting paid.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 03:35 PM) I mean, who can go to these games? Exactly makes me laugh longest home stand of the year in September next year.

QUOTE (bjm676 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 03:20 PM) Sad tweet of the day: @SpaldingBalls 5h5 hours ago Wisconsin, USA if current standings hold, the only teams without playoff appearances, 2009-2015: Mariners Marlins Padres White Sox Yet KW stays employed

Q dealing that inning

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 02:55 PM) It pisses me off, that's for sure. Sick of bad defensive players. Would rather see how Sanchez could hold up at short and Saladino at 3b. They're potentially part of this future, Olt isnt. Team going nowhere, I have no problem playing guys to see what they got. We know what Sanchez can do at this point.

Giving the home crowd a thrill one home stand at a time.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Oh, don't you worry. Nothing to worry about! Don't let this disgraceful baseball and empty park get you down. You see, this is only "Year 1" of the mighty "3 Year Plan" that is going to right this ship and get us back to the winning ways of a yesteryear long ago. Once we really get going on the rest of this plan, you'll see! You'll see the greatness that JR (Moe), KW (Larry), and Hahn (Curley) have coming our way. Just two years to go!! Best part was 3 year plan was never was mentioned till late July when they were playing so bad.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 27s27 seconds ago I feel awful for Samardzija. He came back home to play for the team he loved growing up, and has a season like this. Jeff got paid well no reason to feel sorry for him.

Hope JR, KW and Hahn are enjoying the game man this is awful.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 08:54 PM) Webb is a waste of a good arm. Cooper's magic seems long gone. I do not count on Webb for 2016.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 07:44 PM) Doesn't mean he still wouldn't cost himself additional money with more poor performances to finish the year. The opinion on Jeff is already been made for offseason regardless of last 3 starts. He is not changing any minds.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 07:39 PM) Your connection of "between the ears" and "going through the motions" isn't really a real thing. The guy is mentally blown up right now. That doesn't mean he isn't trying. Seriously, who would be stupid enough to not care when quite literally a hundred million dollars is on the line? Jeff Samardjiza is a lot of things, but a complete idiot isn't one of them. 100 mil window is gone and has been for months.

Oak 5-2 no outs

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 07:21 PM) He would have to be the biggest idiot ever to be going through the motions right now. Seriously, who would be stupid enough to be costing themselves tens of millions of dollars for no apparent reason? It is September 15th, he is not going to improve his stock no matter what the rest of the way. He does not give a crap and it shows, he is the poster child for a guy going through the motions. You said it yourself it is between the ears.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 14, 2015 -> 03:28 PM) Until Ventura quits on the team, no. Why would he quit no matter how bad he is there is no pressure on him to improve?

Jeff is a guy just going through the motions.

Twin magic crap very old at this point.

Another great home stand against central foes again

Alan Ball can"t cover a guy who was on the street a week ago.

I am done watching tonight this is so f***ing bad can't watch anymore, Abreu is not a good first baseman.
