  1. Sox have so many games coming up, I do not see this as a big deal.
  2. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 22, 2015 -> 01:23 PM) Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 8m8 minutes ago Jeff Passan retweeted Jesse Sanchez This is big. Many believe he's the best pitcher in Cuba. Short right-hander but will get significant bank. Jeff Passan added, Jesse Sanchez @JesseSanchezMLB Sources tell me top Cuban RHP prospect Norge Luis Ruiz, 21, has left the island and will be seeking a Major League contract. #Cuba Dodgers will get another Cuban prospect.
  3. QUOTE (South Sider @ May 22, 2015 -> 04:36 PM) Frankly, and I know this is going to seem blasphemous to some, but I think Sox fans overall are watching the transformation of the franchise on the north side and wishing it was us. I haven't completely given up hope on the Reinsdorf regime or this team and its future, but our tanking of the last couple of seasons would sure seem a lot tolerable if it was overseen by Epstein/Hoyer. I know I wanted Theo on the south side but knew it wouldn't happen because of JRs loyalty to KW. Why didn't we make a push for Maddon? Because of JR/KWs loyalty to RV. Maddon, if given the choice, would have taken the Cubs job anyway. Their tanking has produced what appears to be a team that is going to be playing an exciting brand of baseball, much more so then the White Sox have been. I hate to pile the pressure on the Sox even more, but they REALLY need to start finding a way to consistently play exciting baseball. Exciting, but not necessarily dominating baseball. Because, and again this is going to sound blasphemous to some (I'm not a Cub hater like I used to be pre-2005), but I won't fault the casual fan for opting to watch Cubs baseball instead of the Sox. I won't ever switch sides but if it gets to the point where the Sox keep playing like we're used to, and the Cubs keep getting better and better, you better believe I'd rather spend the little time I have to watch baseball games watching an invigorating brand of baseball then the same lethargic baseball that we're getting used to. I'll always be a Sox fan first and foremost. If the teams met in the World Series, it's Sox all the way. But this is just the harsh reality for some. The Cubs represent the city I am from too, and they have done literally everything with their baseball operations that I wish the Sox had done. It's hard for me to not respect what they've done up to this point. Casual fans are gone for good at this point. All you here on radio and TV is a Cubs love fest 100%. If someone has only so much disposable income they are going to the North side not the South side. Sox have a uphill battle at this point, I do not think they will ever win with JR as owner. I have said this before, but the blind loyalty is killing this franchise.
  4. Enjoy Saturday's sellout JR, because it may be last one of the year.
  5. This team on offense gives fans no reason to attend or watch. Diehards only at this point.
  6. QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 21, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) The amount of holding going on to slow down the Hawks has reached hilarious levels. Never called Hossa got raped.
  7. QUOTE (bmags @ May 21, 2015 -> 09:34 PM) At game. 35 innings in person. 2 runs scored Shocked it is that many runs.
  8. QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2015 -> 09:29 PM) Another called 3rd for Flowers Sox wonder why they cannot score automatic outs.
  9. QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 21, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) The power play is horrendous. Acted like they were down a man.
  10. QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2015 -> 09:16 PM) Warning track power galore Team has plenty of it.
  11. QUOTE (kitekrazy @ May 21, 2015 -> 08:56 PM) I'm not too far from losing all allegiance to the Sox and rooting for someone else. Real changes need to be made well above the 25 man roster. The only way those changes are made is if death is involved. Who has that kind of patience anymore? Changes are then replaced with former Sox retreads. I think this is why attendance is so bad, I do not blame a fan at this point. Fans can only eat a s*** sandwich so long .
  12. Nice rundown.................. work on that much. Funny Sox player was out doing that, Indians player is safe.
