OK this is when the Sox can get back in it. Oaklands bullpen is no great shakes.

2 very very questionable strike calls on Sanchez. No wonder he doesnt take any walks.

I see more late inning heroics in store tonight . (For us not Oakland) BTW A's suck !

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ May 13, 2015 -> 08:30 PM) Hawks start Sunday at 2 and play every other day.. unless there's a game 7. I'll be there Sunday in the Honda Center in literally the last row wearing my Hawks cap and hoodie.

So far , so good. Onward and upward .

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 11, 2015 -> 07:02 PM) That was the time to bunt if there was one, really. Just horrible execution again by our team I don't agree although I understand why. Stay out of the DP (evrn though Shuck is pretty fast) and get guys in scoring position but when a pitcher is sucking go for the throat especially when you have the L/R advantage

GRRRR 3 guys hit ropes against Broxton who has been hot garbage this year. You have the L/R advantage and Robin makes him bunt .

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 11, 2015 -> 05:37 AM) I continue to genuinely hate the 6 man rotation. It cuts down on both the bench and the bullpen to the point where both of them are undermanned. Not a true 6 man rotation but sort of what the Sox are doing now to compensate for double headers and suspensions . Maybe a week to 10 days between starts for Rodon rather than 5 days rest. I think we'll see some form of that through the heavy part of the schedule without days off until there comes a time that regular starts for Rodon would guarantee him not passing whatever innings limit he has.

No 6 man rotation option?

QUOTE (flavum @ May 10, 2015 -> 02:46 PM) I'm old. If teammates tried to tear Fisk's jersey off of him, he'd probably kick their ass. lol I'm old too but just go with it. Fisk is no longer part of the equation.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 10, 2015 -> 02:42 PM) Jersey shredding needs to stop. That's where I draw the line on fun. There's no women involved in this so why limit the fun ? The Sox desperately need fun.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 10, 2015 -> 02:33 PM) They've been doing it for days now. I think its hilarious. http://chicago.suntimes.com/baseball/7/71/...custom-t-shirts Sun-times article on Eaton and the t-shirts.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 10, 2015 -> 02:27 PM) We need a stir emoticon. It's the new Sox theme based on Eaton's commenting a few times that he is supposed to be the straw that stirs the drink ( based on the Reggie Jackson comment that he is the straw that stirs the drink when he was with the Yankees).They got t-shirts made to poke fun at Eaton but now it's officially the new fun thing. So now you have seen multiple guys doing it. Bonifacio a few times and Beckham after the hit to win the game.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 10, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) STIRRING THE POT Close. I believe it's the new Sox theme brought on by Eaton saying he is supposed to be the straw that stirs the drink. They made t- shirts about it now using that stirring motion with their hands .

Looked like Danks was going out to pitch the 8th.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2015 -> 12:31 PM) Something that makes the offensive struggles even worse is that a majority of the runs the sox have scored lately were thanks in part to an error by the opposition or misplay (last night's big inning doesn't happen if Eaton's liner is caught) Almost no "clutch" hitting . Avi and Melky last night being the exception. We always seem to be stranding 2 guys.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2015 -> 12:26 PM) Another first pitch out by Alexei. He has no game plan at the plate at all. That was the one place you couldn't hit the ball there. The one place ? To the SS or back to the pitcher would've been easy DP's too ? Regardless it wasn't the fly ball we needed .

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2015 -> 08:17 PM) Wake me up when there's a "And that's a White Sox home run" thread!! They won one, might as well win with Sale going tomorrow. You should be awake now thanks to Conor and Melky .

Loom this Dave Cameron .

Everyone forgot about Conor blasting one out to break the HR dry spell ! Conor and Melky both off the HR schnide.

Didn't the Sox walk off against Joba last year ?

Oh YEAAAAAAA

Did Cespedes miss 1st base ?

SWEET SWINGIN" CONOR GILASPIE BREAKS THE HR DROUGHT !!!!!!!!!!
