South Side Fireworks Man

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:31 PM) QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 03:28 AM) I know pitching is important, but you can't win if you can't score no matter how good your starting pitching is. Time to gets some bats. build around your pitching JR won't spend the money. It has to be trades and the only thing they can offer for legit bats is pitching. Now if he'll open his wallet and outbid everybody for Reddick, Encarnacion, or take on big contracts like Braun, etc they can keep all their pitching. I don't expect that, however.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:28 PM) Me too honestly. I like Quintana so much more, definitely more of a leader Plus he's under control for one more year, seems to be less of an injury risk, and doesn't have the perceived trade value Sale has.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:25 PM) Could you imagine getting 5-6 good to great bats for Sale and Quintana? It's gotta be tempting. Especially if they aren't butchers in the field.

I wish Hahn could give us something to get excited about already.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:21 PM) Yep, and tremendous performance from Q. Now Hahn needs to do his job and trade either him or Sale I'd rather it be Sale that's traded than Q.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) So anyone think Frazier really has flu-like symptoms ? If he were traded I'm sure we would have heard by now and if he was just being held out I'm sure he'd be in the dugout.

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:07 PM) I swear, a pitching machine can shut this team down Pitching machine? Heck, a tee could probably shut down this offense.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:02 PM) So if the Sox aren't gonna trade Q and Sale for some young players that can actually hit the baseball, then the plan is to sign dudes like Reddick, Encarncion, and Wilson Ramos right? Asking Frazier and Abreu to carry this offense again next year is completely delusional. Abreu would be a good number six hitter and Frazier is a good number eight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 08:01 PM) Abreu is just horrendous. Would love for the Rangers to take him Package him with Sale and get Mazara, Odor and Profar plus a couple of prospects.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) Melky is such a good hitter. QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) Melky is such a solid hitter Great minds.

Melky is such a good hitter.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) Sanding and painting trim in oil paint at work today is more fun than this offense That's why I hope they trade Sale for a bunch of good bats.

Now hit a HR, Tyler.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:11 PM) or you know people got other s*** to do on a beautiful night in late July then waste time on another mediocre Sox team. I'm still stuck at my office otherwise I wouldn't be here. You just made me feel really bad about myself, LOL.

Hayes reporting how Ventura said they really missed Morneau the past two games. Yet he wouldn't let him pinch hit for Sanchez last night.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 06:26 PM) Eh, teams have 5 years of data on Quintana. One start isn't going to move the needle one way or the other unless he were to god forbid get injured. Yeah but if a GM is on the verge of dealing for him but is still not 100% sure it could sway his final offer one way or another.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) Flu like symptoms. No hugs. Maybe Frazier hates wearing black.

"Flu like symptoms."

Eaton supplying the power in place of Frazier.

My man Saladino with the double.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) Sale doesn't look like he has any good stuff tonight. Maybe his uniform isn't comfortable tonight.

I was afraid of this.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 06:27 PM) I preferred the version of sale that threw the high fastball by people at 97. Not the one who induces the ground out on a 91 mph high fastball Coop fixed him.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 06:20 PM) Sale sure is looking rusty Head case.
