QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 08:38 PM) LOL, I just noticed the SEA at ARI looks more like an NFL score. Last night was the battle of the field goals 12-9.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 08:30 PM) Castro just rubs me the wrong way. Every time the camera goes on him he's either chewing or spitting or looking like a doofus He has a attention span of a gnat.

Sox 3-0 thru 4

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 08:13 PM) I wouldn't go back there if I was paid to do it Nobody wants to go to the Urinal!

Will Gavin give it away?

Rios no hits all series.

Finally some luck. 2-0 Sox

1-0 Sox

Lets go Dunn.

Lets get a hit for Pete's sake. Cy Wells not!

Dejesus strikes again.

PK pulling everything on the ground lately.

Sox luck is terrible right now.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 09:22 AM) Rios may actually be moveable this year. Maybe. That would be nice, but Sox would have to take a bad contract back to do it.

Jump on Wells early!

1-2-no

Gavin 0-3 against Cubs and Sox 0-4 in games Gavin has started against the Cubs lifetime.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) Baseball America ‏@BaseballAmerica #WhiteSox fans, your team signed all picks from top 10 rounds & $159K under budget New system was a win/win for Sox and fans.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 05:27 PM) Yeah I agree with this. I start with asking for Addison Reed and Mitchell. Settle for Mitchell and another arm. So the question then becomes, would you trade Mitchell and a reliever for Headley. No to Headley way to streaky.

Time for Gavin to show up, Sox really need him tonight!......................I will take the over!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 06:21 PM) OK, show me another team who cries about not being able to acquire players because attendance isn't up to snuff. Just one. You mention the Rangers spending money. You may be interested to know according to Forbes, the White Sox had more revenue than the Rangers last season. Attendance is overblown. Its not how many are at the games, its how much was paid to be there. If the Sox really wanted to sell the last 7000 to 10000 seats to last nights game, they would have had no problem doing so. They picked pricing them to where they would not be sold. The fact is its on the White Sox to draw fans. No one has an obligation to go to games. A restaurant doesn't say we will get you better food if you buy this crap first. They shouldn't even be publicly discussing it. They should be spending time trying to figure out how to fix it. Saying you would get better but can't because you're not getting enough business in a way is just showing you agree that your product should be better. Seriously, the franchise could probably be sold for close to $1 billion right now. If they don't feel they have the funds to properly run it, maybe they should sell. The other thing is, we have heard this so many times in the past, then Peavy gets traded for. Rios gets claimed. Manny get claimed. Edwin Jackson is acquired. Enough answering attendance questions KW. The Sox revenue was top 10 last year. That's the number that matters, not the total attendance figure. I just maintain if they lowered some prices, they would get more people into the stands and those extras would more than make up for the loss on the higher priced tickets. I agree instead of having your GM b**** about attendance EVERY year sell the team JR and be done with it!...............also the tiered pricing system has turned off alot of fans, I know it has me.

Give away Gavin =

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 12:49 PM) It is, because you are complaining about attendance today. Like you saying he has limited resources. The reason why he blew it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 12:42 PM) Here is a little secret, we wouldn't be anywhere near first place without him, and someone like John Danks out there. Attendance would most likely be worse if Rios wasn't on this team because we would be significantly further out of first place. Who says it is Danks out there? Without Rios contract from day one who knows who Sox could of got through trade or free agency. This is not just about 2012.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 12:34 PM) You are the one saying he is the problem here, when he clearly isn't. This isn't 2011 anymore. Things have changed. Quit recycling the same old stuff. Recycle what, payroll is maxed out so says KW. Rios deal is a HUGE part of it and will be 2 more years at best. 04/04/08: Signed seven-year, $69.835 million contract w/ 2015 club option and full NTC 2008-09, limited NTC 2011-15. 2011: $12.0 million, 2012: $12.0 million, 2013: $12.5 million, 2014: $12.5 million, 2015: $13.5 million club option w/ $1 million buyout, 2016: Free Agent
