Well the offense needs to get their act together. Our starters seem to need shutouts to get a chance for a win.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 04:14 PM) Bad pitch to AJ by AJ - he's first ball fastball hitter, you idiot Scouting reports are for p*****s.

Wait the Fox crew is surprised that AJ swung at the first pitch.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 03:43 PM) Nice recovery by Sale, but he still doesn't look right. I'll be surprised if he comes out next inning. Thanks Doc.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 03:41 PM) Sale looks ok now...throwing strikes at least. He is getting squeezed. So either the zone is tiny, take note of that sox,or Sale looks like someone that knocked over the umps garbage can.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) This one is over. Sale looking terrible this inning. Hand must be bothering him You are a breathe of sunshine. How is the view from the ledge.

So the umpire has decided that the zone is tiny.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 03:35 PM) 3 runs or less in 6 of 8 games after the ASB. Maybe it takes falling out of first for Ventura to realize there's an issue and shuffle the lineup around? He isn't going to move Konerko down. It's the typical sox tomorrow is always there.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 03:30 PM) This offense is terrible. The team hacks at everything near the zone. There is no concept working a count or selecting a zone t. Porcello won't break a sweat today.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 03:26 PM) Sox have really struggled so far this year vs Porcello We struggle against everyone who has a sinker.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 11:49 PM) Of all the things you people hate that Ozzie has said, why can't you embrace what he said today? “I am a true White Sox,” he said. “Put it this way, 21 years with the same organization. Nobody can say (bleep) about me in the White Sox organization. Nobody. I am a true White Sox. I spent more years with the White Sox than anybody out there. The White Sox will always be in my heart.” How can you guys/gals turn on this man? He bleeds White Sox red. The twinkle of his eyes and his electric smile have you in a trance Greg. Embrace logic.

QUOTE (My_Sox_Summer @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 04:37 PM) Hello fellow Sox fans! I am just putting this out there for you guys to see. I recently (April) moved from Sterling, IL into Chicago over by Sox Park. Since I moved I have been going to a bunch of games being that I am under employed and work mostly from home when I do have work to do. A few weeks into the season I decided to try and see if I could do this, 50 games for under $500. I usually get tickets at the game from people with extras. I usually spend about $10 a game. I will bring my own water and peanuts from time to time, but rarely do I spend much on extras at the park. I decided to blog about it so you can read and follow my progress at- http://mysoxsummer.wordpress.com/ I am also on FB - http://www.facebook.com/MySoxSummer I post pictures and scans of the tickets to make it more legit. I am not an author so it is lacking on the verbal end, but a bunch of folks have told me that they like it. I am at Game #23 and have a total of $152 spent. Frank Thomas and Jermaine Dye have re-tweeted it to their followers on Twitter. Just wanted to share. Thanks guys! Go Sox! Be nice to take the next three in Boston! So do you count transportation or parking in your formula.

QUOTE (Carter224 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 09:50 PM) Probably about as dumb as the people who think Viciedo is a lock to turn into a 35-40 HR hitter and Quintana is a sub 3 ERA pitcher.. Clearly, you're the one who doesn't watch much baseball. Clearly 23 year old players in the majors are finished products.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) Hey I agree we should win every single game. I bet he looks back on it and thinks that same thing. We dont even know if he was available at that moment. If Matt is down based on some other reason fine. If he warms up later in this game, then its stupid.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 08:38 PM) Maybe the 9th if it was tied. Who knows, if he brought him out and he got hit around you would be all over that decision too. Rock, its the 8th inning in a tie game with Ortiz in the middle of it. Its not a reach that Matt should of started that inning over a rookie who has a hard time throwing strikes.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 08:35 PM) This is his first year. Give the man a break. Its not like the bullpen has a bunch of AAA players in it or anything. So Matt Thornton wasn't a viable option. In a 1-1 game you start either your left handed experienced relief guy, or a guy who might have a hard time hitting a brick wall with his fastball. Its not rocket science with this one. We have a rested bullpen.

And finally he wakes up and decides to come out to get him.

8 rookie pitchers, and a rookie manager..... Ventura is either asleep, or lost right now.

Why is this guy on the MLB roster. He can't throw strikes at all. Its like watching a left handed McDougal.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 08:27 PM) Why septimo? Because guys who can't throw strikes are awesome to have at the end of games.

f*** you Red Cubs!

DeAza with a swing approach there like Jose Valentin. Swing as hard as you can and maybe you will hit it.

Look its the resident mlb penis, Mr Padilla.

Ventura out. Obviously Dylan missed the memo. In your best Alabaman accent, swear and get upset and throw your mitt. Then you get to come out for the 8th.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) Viciedo needs a platoon partner. Our resident fan of Cubans.
