QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 04:28 PM) This has to be it. I really don't see the harm in giving Eric Johnson a shot, the guy was once seen as a near certain solid back of the rotation starter with some upside. Even if he's fallen out of favor, they really have nothing to lose, they're just spinning their wheels with him at this point. Ya I just don't get the EJ situation. They obviously don't think much of him but there's absolutely no harm in trotting him out there right now. Same way I felt after we were out of contention last year, see what the hell you got at least, you could be wrong White Sox.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 03:38 PM) You may have missed the last 24 hour round the clock coverage of him. PR nightmare indeed. Yup for one day. Like I said, I'm sure this will be a big story for a few weeks/months and then once the game starts it'll be fine, it's really not going to be as bad as you guys think. But whatever, I guess we'll see.

I hope I'm wrong but I see this more as his stats evening out for the mean time. No matter what any of us think of him, he's not a .180 hitter. We'll see but I bet soon here we start to see him back to his old ways.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) PR nightmare. It's really not. They'll protect him and answer some questions for a few weeks then for the most part it'll go away because the picture and text messages just aren't a big deal for Tunsil.

Ya, I've always had a blast at Sox-Cubs games. They're ridiculous but so am I so it works. Besides that, Nats or Royals are probably the way to go.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 02:09 PM) Obviously YOU just wanted to type Barkevious Mingo. This is correct.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 10:03 AM) This seems like the most likely scenario. Definitely.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 02:00 PM) Floyd reminds me of Barkevious Mingo. You just wanted to type out Barkevious Mingo.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) Man. Elliott behind that O line. May be a fantasy pickup Monster fantasy player for sure.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) This Tunsil stuff is getting out of hand. Just so bizarre.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 08:45 PM) Coming from a guy who cant spell jabroni? BOOM. Brian just got TKO'd.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) My hotel burned down on Tuesday night and a bunch of my stuff was ruined. I was left standing in the rain for 2 hours, watching the hotel burn, before they would let me go to my car. I feel worse right now than I did that night. Woah, sorry to hear that dude.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) Positives: Polished, NFL ready left tackle. Negatives: Horribly misguided choice in weed paraphernalia. Summary: Day one starter at crucial offensive position, will be limited to organizations that embrace vaporizers. lol. Amazing.

I just don't get how the hell anyone takes a rb in today's day and age in the top 15, let alone top 5. And this Tunsil thing is just a weird story. Who the hell gives a s*** if he smokes weed but why and who actually tweeted that right before the draft?

I feel like I was willing to give Danks as much rope as anyone but it's time to move on now. I still think EJ can be an ok 5th starter but the Sox definitely don't think that's the case so I have no clue what the best option is.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 04:15 PM) Go listen to 10 minutes of baseball talk on Chicago's airwaves, there is literally nothing they wont say to pat the Cubs on the back. You sure do listen a lot to something you seemingly hate so much.

Yes...Spiegs initial idea was to write a story about how the preseason World Series favorite's start wasn't flukey. Makes plenty of sense.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 12:45 PM) I don't care about anything else, I want him on the team just for the bat flip.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 11:16 AM) I don't think they would not skip Danks again. Going something like 10 days without pitching would not be beneficial for him or the team. So they would skip him?

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 11:20 PM) This business is about, what have you done for me lately. Last year Danks is history, this years Danks has not been good. That doesn't take away from the point that these guys need a break. They haven't had an off day in a minute. It's been 3 games, we're still not sure what John Danks of 2016 is. Recent years data tells us he's going to have some god awful games but he's also going to give you a chance in a lot. We also have no idea if players need a break at the moment. Just because we've been playing a lot doesn't mean these guys are tired at the end of April. Some might be but a lot of guys are seemingly hitting their stride right now too. All I know is sitting half your guys because f*** it, Danks is on the mound is quite the silly idea.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 11:10 PM) With Danks pitching and your guys needing a rest, why not? So we're just going to concede every game Danks pitches? We do know that Danks was good in a lot more of his starts than he was bad in last year, right?

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) Well, this may put the scenario of a "baseball frenzy" in the City to a test. I speculated about such a scenario, but never dreamed that the Sox could get off to this kind of start. The Sox and Cubs could really capture the city, once hockey is over. What more could fans want? Hockey is over.

QUOTE (chi4lyfe @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:05 PM) TRESTMAN! *shakes fist* This is a very good post.

So is Sale the Cy Young? Or is it Latos? Q? Robertson? What about Albers? I can't keep up anymore.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) BETTER BIG 3???! A- Jordan, Pippen, Rodman B- James, Wade, Bosh C- Curry, Green, Thompson D- Jones, Albers, Robertson Bugs, Lola, MJ.
