Thunderstruck for Avila and the new guy and Morneau in the dugout.

3 outs on the bases tonight. That's the problem when the team can't hit then hits. Being on base is foreign territory to them.

Holy double miracle Batman !

Hosmer sucks...still.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 06:28 PM) kinda makes my gut churn seeing Morneau in a Sox uniform He is there in a uni ?

Sox rockin' n rollin' with no Rollins.

Hosmer sucks !

I approve of that half inning by the Sox and the new guy.

Hell yeah ! Let's give the Royals more confidence.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 01:37 PM) Shuck hitting 5th lol Kiss of death. He will be DFA'd soon as they make another trade.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 07:36 AM) It is way sooner than I wanted, but se la ve. It's C'est la vie .

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 07:36 AM) Well Anderson is trending Damn 1st Ali now Howe . Huge names in their respective sports.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) Don't think Anderson's coming up. He's kind of cooled off the last 2+ weeks. More likely, Sanchez slots back into that utility role, unless it's Jason Bourgeois instead. Nice to FINALLY see some sense of urgency...with speculation about Burdi possibly joining the pen late in the year as well. Avi Garcia or Alex Avila the next to go, although they might have a difficult time finding a 2nd catcher who can actually hit his weight. Avila if the Sox can trade for LuCroy which I think is a long shot However #YouNeverKnow. Avila has had his share of concussions has he not ?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 09:10 PM) Thank god. I've been calling for this since the day we signed him. I know this Dave guy broke the news on Shields . Did he also call the Morneau signing ?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 08:46 PM) Wow - DFA Guess they just had enough. Let's see what ya got, Tyler A bad pitcher can just kill ya in a way an impotent Rollins cannot. Tyler won't even pitch while he's up most likely. Impotent ?? Is that 1st hand knowledge ?

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 06:39 PM) How were his home/road splits in Colorado? That's always a concern with Rockies players. Batting average , SLG. OPS all higher in CO. but not significantly. HR's almost doubled in Coors but OBP the same all for 2014 2015 much better at Coors but had a lot less AB's since he missed a big chunk of the season. He is also not a stiff against lefties but really mashes righties. Almost all of his HR's will come of off RH's.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) Thanks for the info. Post here more often! ..which translate to if you have inside info we will PM you to death.

This move took me by surprise. Thought he might have a longer rope than Rollins since he was so good at the beginning of the season. The possibility of him getting back close to that level certainly existed though not likely. Gonzales is still basically in his 1st month starting for the Sox and Latos was way better during his 1st month. Great to see how well Gonzales pitched tonight. Hopefully he'll be more consistent than Latos which might be what they were looking for.

Keep on rockin' me baby ! Steve Miller Band

Drinking from the sweet fountain of victory once again.

Beautiful Houdini act by the Sox !

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 01:12 PM) Take your Sox hatred blinders off. This is absolutely the right move to make. The guy won a batting title two years ago and was hitting over .300 last year before he was hurt. $1 million is chump change in MLB. If he sucks you cut him loose, no big loss. THIS x 1000000000 . In his last 782 AB's covering 2014 and 2015 he hit about .315 . OBP around .364 and OPS around .850

Came home from work, checked to see we drafted Zack Collins, saw we signed Morneau , hooked the ipod up to the stereo, and watched the Sox rock and roll to a 3 run inning . Life's been good to me... so far, as Joe Walsh would sing.

We just had a huge thread on this that stayed on the 1st page forever . Now that it's gone you want to start another one ?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 05:40 AM) It blows my mind that with all the information available at the click of mouse that people choose to stay uninformed. Sanchez has never had an OPS+ over 65, Lawrie is at 98 right now. Sanchez. Is. AWFUL. He may very well end up a career utility guy but it blows my mind that someone would base their opinion of what he's done in his Major league career having played sporadically and is only 24. According to BR he had a 67 OPS + for the one year he got close to 400 AB . Nothing to crow about but it is higher than 65.
