QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 19, 2013 -> 10:20 PM) At this point, I think we get the cash. Maybe we use it to sign him for 2014?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2013 -> 04:25 PM) So no one went under the 73-76 bracket, and there were only 3 in there. Only 5 of 74 picked anything below .500. Even Marty said 78 and Soxfest 81, two of the biggest negatives out there. Ok. So I skewed it when I predicted 162 wins There is always next season

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2013 -> 02:08 PM) Hector and Jose both could use some Mark Buehrle lessons. I think this is it. Cooper wants them to pitch more quickly. They seem to fall into that trap of slowing down when they get behind which is caused because they don't attack the strike zone

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2013 -> 06:01 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 6m Crain pitching in Instructional League game today. If all goes well, #Rays plan to activate him Saturday. Potential boost for final week. Thanks for the update. I was wondering what was up with Crain. If the Rays get a final week out of him what do we get in return I wonder? Plus if they take a wild card spot does Jesse get to play ?

Leave the Tigers crying in their motor oil with a win

Let's win one in memory of what is as like in 2005

Maybe Detroit goes bankrupt and closes the ballpark

New low to the season as I was the only PTC clicker and I still lost

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 08:59 PM) I am really hoping they can avoid losing 100 games. It's only happened 3 times in franchise history 1932 - 49-102 1948 - 51-101 1970 - 56-106 So, at the very least, this can't be the worst team in franchise history Something to be thankful for. It wasn't a bad game other than the offense again couldn't click when needed and Danks got roughed up early. He impressed though after the first couple innings

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 08:07 PM) This is the reality of 2013 for Danks. This is the year he gets in innings and gets his strength back. Everyone had this reaction, though slightly less so, with Peavy. No one should have expected Danks to be good this year. Next year is when, if, he'll be his old self. I posted my thoughts before reading yours I agree

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 08:50 PM) 16 retired in a row for Danks I am hoping that next year is really what this is all about. John coming off shoulder surgery and maybe the arm strength just isn't there yet but judging by his ability at times to recover I think he is close. I have heard that it takes at least a year or year and a half to be at full strength.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 06:37 PM) Nightmare end to this season for Danks First two innings everything up and he is getting hit

QUOTE (Tannerfan @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 06:32 PM) Where's the Hawk guy? Under the weather according to Stone Pony

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 04:23 PM) Why will you be behind and not in front of the big screen. Gorgeous day here in the big city, if not swamped at worked would love to head on out to the ole ballpark. Maybe that's why all I hear is the sound??? !!!

Viciedo

John Danks goes for the Sox against Diamond I think. Any bets on how many home runs Danks gives up today? The game is on WGN at Noon MDT. I will be there rooting for the Sox behind the big screen.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 04:35 PM) Hawk deserves it. I'll never understand the hate, especially from White Sox fans. He ticks me off sometimes with his umpire ripping and when he still takes some shots at Jerry Manuel, but I love him. It will be a sad day when he's gone if he's replaced by one of these so-called "professional" broadcasters Hawk's haters seem to love. Whether people want to admit it or not, the way they watch and evaluate a game these days is heavily influenced by Hawk's views the past 25 years. If the next guy coming in is a Len Kasper type, the baseball IQ of a typical Sox fan will drop tremendously. He gets on my nerves sometimes but he doesn't say anything that we haven't here on Soxtalk. Plus he has been around since dirt as he reminds us at least two or there times a broadcast

A Garcia

It's on WGN Wednesday day game. Let's pick to click to win

We are on a winning streak albeit one game

Dunn

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 09:35 PM) "Garcia is hitting .225 since starting out .360 with the White Sox" Will the Sox ever have the likes of the Big Hurt again?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 07:43 PM) Unfortunately, Marcus can only play 1 of those 3 positions at a time. But, Balta he has played in like four games so isn't that enough to anoint him the next Sox savior? Listening to some folks you have to agree he must be able to play at least 2 of the 3 positions- at the same time I might add- cause he hit a couple singles.

Season winding down. Hopefully we can be happy and beat the Twins

Beckham will be the starting second baseman for the Chisox in 2014. You heard it here first!
