QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 04:34 PM) Boston could also be a seller which will add more pitchers( Buchholz) into the mix. I've been hearing Bucholz won't be moved and tonight Kazmir was removed from the game after 50 pitches with triceps tightness. Samardzija lookng more and more like the most desirable asset .

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 09:41 PM) That just broke a 24 game home streak of not scoring more than four runs...or was it not scoring more than three? Either way, pretty incredible at USCF. Even in these offensively challenged days. Danks still sucks. Guess the concept of two in a row was impossible for him. Great job by the bullpen and defense for most of the game....Avi continues to do really dumb things. But that 4 for 5 looked pretty good from Avi too.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 09:29 PM) Record in extra innings and one run games White Sox +9 Nationals +9 Cubs +9 Royals +6 Cardinals +6 Oakland -20 We're good at something !

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 09:06 PM) Yep. I praise Lexi for that snag. Great play. Sox are winning a lot of games lately. Survived a bad start tonight and still won. Makes up for the loss with Q throwing the gem. Would be nice to win 20 of 25 and get back into the WC race. GO SOX. Good job greg way to step up ! Normally that play gets praised possibly as a game changer but I looked and no one said anything about what a good play it was and the Alexei bashers (who do have legimate gripes) said nary a word. I mean if you can dish the crap about a player you can say when he does good too.

2 winner threads. Guy beat me by an eyelash . Eaton was the straw that stirred the drink tonight. He got the game tying infield hit in the sixth and the game winner in the 11th . Bullpen 6.2 innings of 2 hit no run ball against one of the best offenses in baseball. They are a very solid bunch at home .

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 09:04 PM) if you insist I hadn't even got mine on yet . I was turning it inside out when Eaton connected.

We like runs and wins ! Bullpen great job !

best rally eva !

All you guys dissin' Alexei should give him some credit on making that play.

Rally cap time . Walk this sucka off !

Clearly irrefutably out !

Cecil leaving the ball up. Keep doing that .

Need more runs to win this .

The fan yelling " strike him out throw him out" got his wish.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 07:40 PM) He's the lone good hitter in our lineup by a huge margin. True but last year he was better than good.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) This game is winnable. Now you are going to see how average to lousy our bullpen really is. They're actually much better at home. Suck on the road though.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 07:36 PM) Why does Eaton insist on hitting first base like that? injury waiting to happen Looks to me like he's trying to get to 1st quicker by hitting the front part of the base instead landing directly on top of it. If that's the case it's good base running.

Where's last years model of Abreu ?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 07:26 PM) I kept thinking Conor should PH there but maybe Beckham would prove me wrong . Nope. If that was Liam Hendricks pitching a quick check of the stats showed LH hitting .290 against him and RH . 171 . I blame Robin again . At least force the other manager to make a decision .

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 06:45 PM) You have to be awake to make moves. I wonder if Robin is even aware of the home/road splits in the relief pitching.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 06:42 PM) I REALLY hope Danks invested the money from this contract, well, for his future's sake. Do you really have to invest when you bank $45M ?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 06:38 PM) Avi seriously sucks Must be a cloudy sky . Visibility poor picking up the ball since we saw what happened with a good fielder like Pillar. Danks should have been pulled after the lead off double or after he intentionally should have walked Donaldson with 1st base open . Yes blaming Robin. Our relief pitches have been pretty good at home . Use them.

Sox now lead the AL with 2 catchers interferences.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 7, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) DH Soto or something.... This team is so GD frustrating... this offense is just god awful. In other news... the deck chairs are being rearranged on the Titanic.
