Give him time.

Ah who am I kidding, still the best Sox vid ever

Just watched the Paulie video. My fav memory is still 2010 getting hit in the face and then jacking a 3 run home run the next AB.

Danish has been working out so far

Finally someone has the guts to say it

I probably have complained more than most on this team. It has been really difficult to go to more games than ever in my life and just not really enjoying the experience the way I used to. Really over-the-top statement: watching White Sox baseball really takes the fun out of seeing the best players in the world. But hell, just last year I would have said this team was exciting. April and May were awesome. Most of last season was really fun except for that quite awful July.

I thought and still think Jabari will be like Jannero Pargo, an all offense, no defense shooter that bounces around on 10 day contracts for the most part and ends up with a 10+ year career.

Perfect backup to Rose and could run in a two guard set with him. Ugh. To be honest, I didn't think Clarkson would be good at all. When we moved to SEC play with him I thought he completely disappeared as people just took away his right hand drives. But, obviously we heard he was going through an intense family situation so that may have been a cause too, just being exhausted. I honestly wanted mcdermott so I can't really complain. There was a preseason game with Gasol, Mirotic, Mcdermott, Snell and Rose out in the game, with the 4 non-rose people spread across the perimeter, the spacing was incredible. Then McDermott shot worse than Rose in the regular season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 22, 2015 -> 01:51 PM) They pretty much have to, he's under contract as a $20 million player the next 2 years. "Not making decisions around Rose" = "mailing it in the next 2 seasons". Yeah, we are talking about a rookie draft, not a free agent class. Whoever we pick is going to be the same price. My point is they should not be thinking "who complements Rose the best?" it's "Who could be a great player for Fred Hoiberg!"

Not sure bulls should be making long-term decisions based off of rose.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 22, 2015 -> 10:55 AM) I supported every Sox transaction and still do. But, sometime when you try and develop a winning formula the math doesn't add up. There is plenty of blame to go around here at this point, but we can still bust out. We did show signs of it. I guess the old baseball axiom is true: good pitching can shut down good hitting every time I think the scary thing is it is hard to imagine where the power will come from. It is hard to grasp just how much lack of power can limit your run scoring potential until you only have like 12 total on this team.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ May 22, 2015 -> 10:05 AM) Ya I'm not sure why alot of people on picking on Laroche. He's not the problem but he's part of it. The team is just crap offensively. Still second to last in runs, 27 in hits, middle of the pack in average and last in xbh. Tho surprising they are in the top 5 for striking out the least. Abreu is now up to 100 base runners on base when coming to the plate and has still only driven in 16 of them. There must be some sort of curse with the white sox and offense. They seem to try to bring in guys that hit better other places but come in here and just flame out. Still can't seem to produce position players from the system that can produce consistent offensively. I wouldn't be surprised if they brought in mike trout and stopped producing offensively with the sox. There is excellent stuff in this post, thanks for pulling that together. "Abreu is now up to 100 base runners on base when coming to the plate and has still only driven in 16 of them." This has certainly felt like the case, glad to see it wasn't just a hunch. "middle of the pack in average and last in xbh" This has killed me. It's hard to have multiple hits in an inning. It's harder to score multiple runs in an inning when your multiple hits are all singles. IMO their lack of power doesn't just show in the lack of "bases clearing doubles". It's when we start off an inning with 2 singles and 1st and 3rd, just how many end up with not a single batter who can lift the ball in for at least a sac fly. 3 things will happen: 1) K (most likely) 2) GIDP (2nd most likely) 3) Fielders choice, runner inexplicably does not score 4) Something good 5) wild pitch 6) walk

I actually didn't count right. it has been more innings.

At game. 35 innings in person. 2 runs scored

why do you have to minus all the winning?

I look at his numbers and am always impressed, but I don't feel like I've ever seen him get a hit beside one opening inning home run.

I just looked outside and it's still raining.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 20, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) I've become convinced that "experience" is commonly overestimated in these races compared to things like "judgement". John McCain was by far more "experienced" and he's spent the last 6 years making me so happy he wasn't elected every time he wants to invade someone new. Plus he was so experienced that he thought an inexperienced alaskan governor would make a great Vice President, an obviously great "judgement". Yes, but "lifetime achievement award" is ridiculous. "It's like they are really popular just because they've held multiple high-level positions that people have enjoyed their work!" I don't prefer clinton for the same reason as 08 - she's a hawk. She will absolutely bring us military conflict. I also can't stand how gossipy and hacky all of the individuals around them are. But obviously I'm not ever risking Supreme Court justices being appointed by a republican on my watch.

I was real positive last night and we lost, so get guess whose train is arriving at negativity station!

Also what Greg keeps deriding as a "lifetime achievement award" is what others would call "resume of an experienced candidate"

John Adams one of the best presidents?

I think Dorne this year has been the most poorly managed subplot in the show. They've had subplots that have failed but mostly due to there's not a lot to work with (Bron), but this one had a lot of things to work with, with plenty of awesome characters, and instead it looked like a Batman the TVshow episode from the 60s.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 20, 2015 -> 12:19 PM) Where was the outcry when Theon's junk was sliced off and sent to his father? The media is ridiculous sometimes. You may not remember the outcry at the absurd amount of time given to the torture scenes in season 3, but I do.
