QUOTE (Scoots @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 07:55 PM) Anyone remember that game Shields pitched against Detroit where he gave up like 7 or 8 runs, then the Sox came back to win it? I was at that game, one of the best I've been to. So, I do have Shields to thank for that. Yeah. That was nice

Maximus Aurelius Shields

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 07:43 PM) He is not on baseball reference. Are you making him up? Let's not take away Shields title he rightfully earned. Ole Mopeface wasn't in B/R? Yeah I made him up. Good ole mopeface

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) His velocity isn't even bad. To me his changeup sucks now, and that was always his best pitch He also just seems to have no idea where his pitches will end up. They are guaranteed to end up as a ball or in the stands as a souvenir which will rate as a great day for a lucky fan

Guess you don't remember Mopeface Jones

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 07:11 PM) Winning this series handily would make it nearly impossible for the White Sox to wind up with a protected pick (if there is such a thing next year after CBA negotiations). Ergo, Shields having a strong start slightly hurts the White Sox, long term, if you consider them to be out of the race this year. 1 run, 7.1 innings. Followed by an implosion next time out just to make it clear. Always bet on black unless James shields is wearing black then bet on red

Avi is a regular Avi out there

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) "Yo, let's hit up The Rate tonight for the Sox game..." Kinda has a ring to it? No? No one will say that because no one is going to go

Naming rights are stupid. Only a terrible company would think it's a good marketing gimmick. Of course you'll get a terrible company. That the ownership decides to s*** all over the fans after a season of awful play and news is typical.

Stork may retire. Interesting day for stork. #stork

Crap. Arnie munoz curveball.

Stork was traded to washington

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 12:55 PM) Someone will claim him. Bears hold the 11th spot in the waiver wire Oh, right. I kind of thought "waived" him meant release him. Maybe we can trade for him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 10:53 AM) Second wild card is at 69-56. Have to think we have underestimated how much getting so little out of the DH spot has killed this team last 2 years. Morneau is in and all the sudden its "oh this is passable". But on a team already struggling to get offense out of their top positions, you can't also have DH be in your bottom 3 of offensive outputs.

please please please sign him.

That was excellent. Super pumped after reading that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 08:57 AM) Even with the injuries and some scary line ups out there, the offense has looked better recently. Especially with Abreu starting to look like Abreu, it hasn't been so bad. It is also worth noting for Rodon since the calendar turned to August he is... 2-0 |24.2 IP| 5R| 4ER| 1.46 ERA| 19H |20K| 5 BB| 0.972 WHIP I saw on twitter he threw 21 changeups last night. You can tell he is learning. Still gets caught up in quite a few 10 pitch at bats that he can't seem to find his out pitch. Reminds me a bit of 2002/3 Jon Garland watching him pitch.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 08:39 AM) Well he's doing sim games right now. I'd guess he throws in Fall Instructs. Winter ball I'm not sure, but we can ask him. Feels like that injury couldn't happened at a worse part of the season. Basically lost two years to it.

Do we think Blake Hickman will try out Winter ball or the sox will just start him up next year?

In MY rule book, Anderson was 2-3 with a sacrifice groundout.

I got my 6 2/3 I decided wasn't that important

Morndong !!!

Abreu dong with a runner stolen from sox by drunk idiots in nyc
