DVR'd both games since I was working. Tempted to DVR it tomorrow too cuz superstitious but I know I'll watch it live. If Q can get a win I actually might start believing in this team again . Just sayin' the Curse of the Q is real and Arrieta will be a handful for Sox hitter. Congrats Saladino on your 1st ML hit. You made it count !

Check youtube . Just search tour of Chicago.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 03:53 PM) Hitless Wonders 2.0? I've been thinking that for a week. Hitless defenseless wonders but damn Sanchez is fun to watch on defense. No way do the Sox send him back down . He's the pitcher's best bud/amigo. Love his range, his jump throws and a new wrinkle today, that under hand flip to 1st to complete the DP.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 07:16 PM) All of those 'seasons' add up to him having played a total of one season so far. And he's still young. He's actually a few months younger than Trayce Thompson. Aaargh but he is what he is what he is ! No Sox young hitter shall ever have a breakout season ye know nothin' landlubber !

I know how much you guys love Bleacher Report but they recently listed each teams mostly likely to move prospect so I'll give a recap. Orioles : Chance Sisco ,20 yrs old, Catcher ,currently playing at High A. LH Cubs: Javier Baez , 22 ,SS and 2nd base ,AAA having a good season there. Huge power. RH Astros: Domingo Santana , 22 ,OF , AAA having a very good season .Nice power , good walk rate, RH Angels : Nick Tropeano ,24 ,Pitcher ,AAA ,RH Dodgers : Jose DeLeon, 22, A+/AA Pitcher ,RH Mets: Marcus Molina 20 , Pitcher, A+ , RH Yankees: Greg Bird 22 , 1B , AA/AAA LH Pirates Alen Hanson, 22 ,Middle Inf. , AAA ,Very fast ,high MiL BA , decent power, strong arm Giants : Kyle Crick ,22 ,Pitcher ,AA, RH 6'4" 220 ,hard thrower These are just some of the names I thought were interesting. Puposely didnt include teams in the Sox division. Just don't see them trading inter -divisionally.

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 .
