QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 09:20 AM) The Tribune has a headline today- "Could AJ Pierzynski return to the White Sox as manager?" I don't think that would ever happen. It also would never work. There wouldn't ever be a person on his side. He doesn't have the personality to be a manager.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 09:02 AM) And then 25% blame their fellow White Sox fans. It's a neat trick. Maybe the most successful thing KW has done in the last ten years, getting the fans to take responsibility for the product on the field rather than poor judgement/inefficient allocation of resources. You are one of the reasons KW stopped talking to the media. He never said anything to that effect. He describes the structure for revenue. Prior to the season they know much is available through advertising, season ticket holders and so on. The only variable is the number of walk up fans. If more show up they have more money to spend. If fewer show up they have less to spend. He did not say "it's the fans fault, we are where we are." He answered a simple questions about revenue and possible moves. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said but because he was never really friendly to the media, they all ran with the "KW blames the fans." And the fans bought into it.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jun 12, 2016 -> 10:22 PM) Loyalty without accountability be it to a sports team, a religion, a politician a government whatever you want to name is usually not a good thing. Mark I think most people would would disagree. Loyalty implies trust. Now I understand that people have no reason to trust someone they don't know and have never met, such as your examples of sports teams and politicians. You shouldn't have loyalty to people you don't know. I understand the concept here as people are frustrated. However, loyalty is usually a good thing when it comes to any type of personal relationship. I've just never heard the word in such a strong negative connotation. I know it helps me at work with my supervisors. I know if patient's have complaints or file lawsuits, they'll be on my side.

QUOTE (jamesdiego @ Jun 12, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) JR is loyal is his friends. Even if they suck at their job. This is Hahn's 4th or 5th year as GM. Is that enough time to determine this?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 12, 2016 -> 08:00 PM) They won't make a change because they're gutless loyal cowards. This is the only place where the word loyal is a four letter word. In most places it's a good thing.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 04:17 PM) Q's last 6 six starts Sox have scored zero or 1 run and people on here say it is only 1 game LMAO. That's new?

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 01:09 PM) The deliberate decrease in velocity has not yielded much improvement to Sale's performance. He had a great 9 start run to start the season assisted by some luck, the last few starts have not been so great for him and that might be due to the regression that the peripheral numbers indicated. The idea was to go deeper in the game with fewer pitches. Has that occurred?

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 11:49 AM) It's still wrong. If you work you should get reimbursed. Unpaid internships are garbage. I think it's perfectly fine for something like this where you cut the production of the employees by 1/3.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 12:16 PM) I didn't see anyone talking about it on here... was watching the KC broadcast when it happened. Sale was barking at Ventura pretty hard when he took him out of the game. I had never seen him do that before. I'm sure with only 108 pitches he wasn't happy coming out. I like that in a pitcher.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 11:08 AM) I have a game worn Paulino I bought for $20. It is pretty large, but I had to get it since I was one of his biggest detractors. I wore it a couple of weeks ago, and a guy in a Dunn jersey told me he loved it. Everyone has replicas of the big names. I pay a fraction for an authentic and am the only guy in the park with a Paulino on. When I wear the autographed Snopek jersey people ask me why I signed my own jersey. The one people love is the signed Warren Newsome jersey.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 08:52 AM) I'm waiting longer than that. Don't want to get burned again (looks at #15 jersey hanging in closet). I've got a game worn, green jersey from a St. Patrick's Day spring training game from.... Chris Snopek! The SS of the future!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) It was 1-1. OOPS yahoo had it wrong. Changed after.

QUOTE (CB2.0 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 10:02 PM) Why is Avi stealing??????? LOL. anderson was down 0-2. He was trying to save the kid an out.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 09:52 PM) Anyone else agree that we should try a lineup like this? Eaton Abreu (DH) Frazier (1B) Cabrera Lawrie Garcia Catcher Anderson (SS) Saldino (3B) Maybe even consider Anderson 2nd if he hits well, and shift anyone else down. I think Saladino back at 3B like in 2015 could work out, and that way you let Abreu DH. You also give Frazier a break from 3B, as he is also a decent 1B Others were saying to fire RV if he even considered that.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 09:50 PM) We really need another late inning reliever badly. What little we have is going to break down by August because we rely on them so heavily. Poor bullpen depth + a bad offense is a bad mixture. Or have your #1 starter go 7 innings. More starters to reach that numbers as well.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) It'd still be one out and runners at the corners. Shuck would have a DP then.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 09:47 PM) KW ruined him and Hahn resurrected him That's it. My fault for not seeing it.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 09:41 PM) So glad to have New Abreu RV turned him around!!!! or did he just ruin him earlier?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) Can we just f***ing charge those last two runs to Robin? God I f***ing despise that idiot He put Putman in to save the inning. 1. 2. 3. Lift off!

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 04:30 PM) Everything I've read is that the surgery is arthroscopic & that a player should be back practicing within 2-3 weeks. Good chance he's back in 5-6 weeks, honestly. All menisectomies are through scopes. The 5-6 weeks is the best case scenario and is possible. The recovery from surgery is more like 3-4. It's really just getting the inflammation and edema down then getting the ROM back. The hard part is getting the muscles to come back around as one of the portals from the scope goes right through the vastus medialis and it tends to shut down for a period of time.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 04:25 PM) He has a hip impingement. I don't even know what that is, but it must be really severe for him to miss the whole season. That is a nasty one. If he needs surgery is is out for the year. It's when the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvis (hip socket) bang together and can tear the labrum of the hip. It can be cause by either the ball of the femur being too big and mishapen or the socket being too shallow. In this case they need to re-shpe the bone. It can also be just like a shoulder labral tear where the bones just twisted incorrectly and the labrum got caught in between. In this case the need to go in and remove the torn part. Either way it's a 2-3 month minimum rehab. Not fun injury to rehab, especially if either bone needs to be altered.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) Sounds dumb but this is when we find out what type of team this really is. They got back to .500, well within striking distance at 3.5 games. Now they lose Jackson for 6 weeks & know they have no internal re-enforcement coming out of the pen w/ Petricka coming back for the year. June's schedule is pretty daunting & have a good amount of divisional games. They are finally losing players to injury. Every other team in the division has dealt with it already, so now it's time to see what the Sox can do with it. 6 weeks plus a rehab assignment most likely. Could be as little as 4 weeks with a rehab assignment. That's why they said 6 weeks minimum.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) Petricka is done for the year? His injury must have been way worse than I thought. What happened to him?

QUOTE (scotty22hotty @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) Odds are surgery with 6-8 weeks recovery and MLB CF ready in 10 weeks. Trading for Bruce is highly likely now since he fills 2 holes. Sadly he's horrible in RF. Should be on the lower end of that at for the worst case scenario, if he needs surgery. More likely 4 -6 weeks.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) Kind of bizarre, played all 9 innings last night. Hope we like Avi Garcia in RF!!! Must have really been sore with decreased ROM today.
