Soxfest

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) Maybe you check out some of his other posts, notably in the NBA threads. And with that, I'm done before I get banned. His predictions on that thread have been terrible, that is why I said I will hold him too it.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:35 PM) To be fair I think Hahn briefly mentioned it at Sox Fest. Mark I do not think so but I could be wrong.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:34 PM) I can...it's called 12 million dollars. The Sox don't "eat" that kind of money (see Dunn, Adam) and LaRoche probably isn't stupid enough to retire so he doesn't collect it. Mark I agree he will be back but I would let him know playing time is not a given in 2016 on day 1 of ST.

KW and Hahn never mentioned the 3 year plan nonsense till they were sucking into late July. Cover your ass 101.

One thing I will give the Cubs, Maddon in a coma could outmanage Ventura.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:26 PM) It's really something that he gets 2 straight starts again. I get it, the only way you can get out of a slump is to get up to bat, but at what cost. I know Thompson has some holes in his swing but I'd much rather watch him play baseball right now than that duck dynasty reject. I never in my wildest dreams thought he would be this bad so late in the year.

LaRoche looks like he has mailed it in no hustle, just going thru the motions to get a check.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:19 PM) Then you, like me, must love Samardzija NO

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:15 PM) Right on. I'm a proud Cub Hater since the '50s. I hate the Cubs and ND always have always will since 70's.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) Let's see if Sale can actually show up for a big game tomorrow. He seems to struggle under pressure. It is lining up as a Cub sweep to me, they can do no wrong right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) 15 of 16 with 4 rookies in their lineup and a ton of available resources to upgrade the team going forward. When contracts all come due they can't sign everybody long term.

Sox seem to lose every game this year they have a big crowd.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:08 PM) They already are. You know as well as I do it can be much much worse going forward If Cubs start winning.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:04 PM) I didn't say Price would be THE reason, but it would mean 3 aces and 3 great hitters (Schwarber, Rizzo, Bryant). If the Sox do not watch it they will soon be in obscurity in Chicago.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:01 PM) Nah. They're still the Cubs. I will root against them 100% always.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) They'll win one by 2018. Guaranteed. I will hold you to your prediction.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 08:53 PM) god forbid they start winning WS's...Sox will lose an entire generation of potential fans If they win one it will be unbearable rest of our lives. 2005 will not mean anything again.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) Hey! Robin tossed for some reasons JR and KW promised milk and cookies he said hell yes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 08:47 PM) What a pathetic effort tonight. Just an incredibly sloppy game by the Sox. Hahn and Ventura have had a HORRIBLE 2015. If current management in all phases return next year, Sox deserve no season ticket base and 10,000 a game. Enough is enough with the amateur hour that is RV.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) Now Robin decides to crawl out there and get him. Nap was over

Hahn whiffed on so many this winter Duke has been just terrible when needed.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 08:41 PM) I spent 5 days in Glendale and was out every morning watching them taking practice so I don't think it's an issue of practice as much as it's an issue of talent. This team is certainly lacking in that department.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 08:37 PM) What did these assholes do in Spring Training? No the players are GROWN men nothing the coaches fault ever according to some.

Alexei amazes me how many errors he has this year.

Need a DP can't give the run right back.
