QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 07:42 PM) The offensive surge is nice and so is winning,while it lasts. I still hope they trade Samardzija and hope even more they don't offer him the money he's been speculated to get this winter. I am right there with you, too . But one caveat. If the teams wanting SP don't start making better offers , screw em, miss the playoffs then ya bastards ! Imagine if LaRoche wakes up (hahaha) or Avi starts hitting HR's ( uh huh, sure ) and Sanchez, Melky and Saladino continue to hit and the defense continues playing well. I'd love the Sox to NOT trade Shark and have the Sox pass all the teams who wouldn't pay for Shark and flip them the bird when we make the playoffs.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 07:37 PM) I refuse to have hope. I want to. This pitching staff is good enough that if the White Sox offense is even average, they could make it. But something about fool me once... I am right there with you.

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 07:21 PM) Yep, it is pretty sad actually. Reminds me a lot of the 2008 Tigers team after trading for Cabrera and Willis before the 2008 season, only to have a horrible season. We all know what happened to the Tigers team for many years after that. They were the class of the divsion. That is why I cringe at the thought of breaking up this rotation. I truly believe that we will all be very sorry that we are going to be depending on Johnson and Montas in the future when and if anybody is traded. I can almost guarantee it. They are overhyped. Johnson...yeah right. I have heard that song before. Might not want to forget Rodon and Fulmer though both have a lot to prove of course , but both very high ceiling players.

Great game on a special day in Cleveland that should also be special to Sox fans , Larry Doby Day . Sox outscoring Cleveland 24-4 in the 3 games with Rodon going tomorrow, Carlos Sanchez hit his 1st ML HR and hitting .344 post AS game Saladino 3 hits back over .300 Melky 3 hits 2 RBI Abreu 2hits 3 RBI Sale 7 IP ,7 H ,2 ER, 0 BB, 7 K

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 07:03 PM) 7 AL teams have 49 or 50 losses. The Sox are one of them. Small chance, but the question is, is it enough to stand pat until at least Thursday? They probably will anyway since Sox are definitely asking a lot and teams offering too little.

10 runs 16 hits . Sox rock .

Saladino and Melky continue being hot along with Sanchez. Good recipe for runs lately.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 06:34 PM) Dalton Pompei would be nice. I wonder if Eaton can play RF. Pompey would be nice . I was looking at him and Devon Harris . Both probably off limits though.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 06:19 PM) I think that maybe a few Sox fans are expecting a trade. I wonder if Hahn is trying to get a Major league player , someone he could plug in the lineup right away. Since Blue Jays need a starter and a RP and Hahn can make the trade without actually declaring the season over.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 06:15 PM) First, the Sox are scoring runs and now LaRoche hits the ball to left field? WTF is going on? Been a fun game so far. His swing is looking so long and slow these days when the pitcher throws 98 he's going to be late .

No posts in the game thread for about a 1/2 hour . DId Samradzija get traded or something ?

I'd love to see Avi alter his swing or stance a little bit, maybe drop that back shoulder down some to get more of a loop in his swing.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 05:27 PM) This has been the pattern in his young career. He seems to take a little time at each level, but makes the necessary adjustments, and ultimately begins to hit. I still think that he is going to become a very good player at this level. You have to love his defense. He also seems to have a pretty high baseball acumen, for such a young guy. I hope some of you are beginning to warm up to him. A lot of people still want Michah . I don't know how many comments I've read about Sanchez being a utility guy . Might ultimately happen but with his glove he will get every chance to be the starting 2nd baseman. I said as much when I started the "What will the Sox front office do" thread on July 14th when I said Carlos wasn't going anywhere.

Sanchez hitting .333 post All-Star Game.

Nice to see Sanchez up to .207 now after that dreadful start.

WOW !!!!!!!!! A Sanchez bomb !!!!

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 04:30 PM) What the hell? I decide to check on the score and see 5 runs in the first? Not possible! It's Bizarro World Day. Instead of the other team scoring in the 1st the Sox do it.

Quintana topped Samardzija now Sale must top Q. That means complete game 10K+ ,4 hits or less.

Missed that Tyler 2 rbi single also

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 04:20 PM) 3-0 I missed the passed ball that scored a run while I was posting. TV and computer not in same room

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 04:18 PM) Where has this been all year? #TheSaladinoEffect

4 straight singles 2-0 Sox . Can even LaRoche get a hit ?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 03:51 PM) Cole. Hamels. Nice. Very nice. I keep thinking the Sox will be no hit and it ends up being the Cubs. So very nice.

Let Us Rock

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 2h2 hours ago Alexei Ramirez credited support of coaches for recent play. Said he and staff had a "friendly meeting" and it has helped. #WhiteSox The friendly meeting went like this . Staff:"dude you're playing like you don't want that $11M next year" . Alexei : Que ? You mean I play good I make $11M ? OK I play good.
