I like that dude.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 14, 2016 -> 12:48 PM) Come on man. I promise you if the Sox ever decided to put him up for bids, you'd have 29 other GMs offering their left testicles to get him. Those men are committed to their jobs.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 14, 2016 -> 08:39 AM) As slow as Anderson starts typically, that is pretty optimistic IMO. I would bet on his learning curve looking more like Avi, than that. He typically struggles the first little while when he jumps levels. No matter when we call him up, he's probably going to go through some growing pains before he adapts.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 14, 2016 -> 12:47 PM) I didn't say he is not fine, just why I'm not as high on him as I am rodon Define "not high on him". It's pretty hard to not be high on one of the best pitchers in the AL.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 14, 2016 -> 12:45 PM) This is why I'm not real high on Q....he is a two pitch pitcher and one of those two pitches is a low end curve ball. When his command is shaky he gets hit hard. Having no swing and miss pitch really hurts him at times. Like during the Headley at bat, Q had no pitch to strike him out so he just threw pitches off the plate to try and get him to swing at a fastball out of the zone. It didn't work and then he got burned for 2 runs. ...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 14, 2016 -> 11:54 AM) Missing a top 5 player in the world, a top line defenseman, then your starting goalie and #2 center on the road. Of course they won game 1. #hockey

Kershaw is the only pitcher I'd take over Sale. As great as Arrieta has been for 4 and a half months now or whatever, there's still a decent amount of pitchers I'd take over him.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 13, 2016 -> 07:43 PM) Got 14th every time for 10 rolls. YOU ARE THE WORST GM EVER

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 13, 2016 -> 08:33 PM) Just give him the Cy Young now. What's the point in waiting? 8-0. f***ing insane. His own teammate might have some say.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 13, 2016 -> 06:13 PM) If by "similar", you mean "not at all similar", then sure. lol, basically.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 13, 2016 -> 04:05 PM) Sox are "only" -150 tonight. Go and bet your mortgage on that. And everything else you own. It's a stone cold lock that the sox win tonight I'm not betting "the house" am I?

For what it would take to get Trout, I don't think it'd be worth it for anyone to trade for him.

Like a lot of people I've thought OKC was the toughest matchup for the Warriors this season but I didn't think the Thunder would be able to get by the Spurs. I think GSW will take OKC down in 5 or 6 but it should be a fun series throughout.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 12, 2016 -> 12:53 PM) NorthSideSox been calling this one since way back in the off season. I was going to say the same thing. All over it.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 12, 2016 -> 03:38 PM) Manziel also broke his girlfriend's eardrum. It's not just about partying. He's also no showed and showed up late to a bunch of stuff before and during his career. It's not really the partying, it's just what the partying had led to.

You drunks.

Ya, the article isn't stupid at all. Whether you agree with the point or not, it's well researched with a lot of numbers thrown in to prove his point. The 'worry' of a lot of people about this version of Chris Sale is that eventually the extra contact that he's pitching to is going to turn into more hits for the opposition. For now, this version of Chris is phenomenal and if he can sustain this level of success with these contact numbers then we're all going to be super thrilled. That said, I'm sure at some point you'll see the older version of Chris come back as he's going to need to start striking out more batters again. Time will tell.

So supposedly the Honolulu house show next month includes Nakamura-Cena and Owens-Lesnar...

Kerr said Steph is starting Wednesday, not sure he earned that...

Welcome back, we missed you.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:49 PM) Avi's slash line: .273/.350/.477. Please let this be the real Avi. I'm still skeptical but if it is that really gives this group the little extra push to be the elite team in the AL imo. Man, I hope something clicked with him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:36 PM) Does this mean we're now stuck with the FlavaFraz nickname? I guess that does set up a guest appearance for the real Flav at a White Sox game. Why not? It's his twitter handle, you're going to have to deal with it.

I don't want to bring this thread down because this was a terrific win but the Jerry Sands situation does have to be talked about. No use for him on the roster right now.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:17 PM) Frazier is the hero, but Lawrie is what made that possible. Uh oh.

The most important part of this game was Miguel Gonzalez and I almost completely forgot about him because of everything that took place. Love this team.
