nice avatar balta. more fun than this offense is pluto.

Hire 4 new guys.

I agree ChiSox that might be the plan and it's not a bad one. IMO Johnson should have been up weeks ago and Danks to the pen but whatever.

Other than not getting injured not a very good development year for Montas so far. Hasn't developed his secondary pitches and seems like for the most part scouts call his heater "flat" and "straight" even though it's coming at 99-102mph. This is a very Sox move to promote him rather than Johnson. I'm not sure what they are thinking.

The optics on this are awful. Another bone headed PR move for the Sox. Gee, you have the best pitcher in baseball and this is HOW YOU MARKET HIM? Just awful. If they didn't want him going they should have put someone else on the team.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 14, 2015 -> 02:15 PM) Shut up, Kenny! lol. I'm glad everyone got the sarcasm. That would be the most KW trade ever. That said, if Cruz is available, I'd ask what for. If they can get him for just Montas, I'd do it.

Montas and Adams for Cruz. Get it done.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 12, 2015 -> 03:07 PM) Thank you Steve it has been 2 and a half years, Hawk saying only 2015 Sox get no runs for Q. yea i loled at that. Hawk has no memory anymore.

I'm sick of seeing Avi roll over on outside pitches. Go oppo dude or you're never gonna be an asset.

Guys what time do the Sox open up the park and can you go and watch BP? Your son will have a very good chance of getting a ball if you guys can get there for BP! I still remember some great times with my pops at the Cell trying to get balls during BP. One time Tony Philips threw me a ball and a fat guy knocked me out of the way (I was like 8-9) and Tony Philips called him a motherf***er and gave me the next ball that came. Philips is good people. I believe he was on the Tigers at that time.

I've always had good luck with Hotwire mystery deals. Also, the Hilton on Michigan is prime and much, much more affordable than many other options around there.

You know that elite skill Micah was supposed to have that would possibly make up for his shortcomings elsewhere? I think that Sanchez is actually that guy. That said, they both need massive improvement but at least Sanchez has been good on defense.

Someone tell Bill Cosby to stop sharing his 'Ludes with RV.

I'm shocked people would cut their nose off to not help the cubs if it helps the Sox as well. Talk about petty s***.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) The way I'd have used him, except for when Abreu was hurt, would be to put him in RF on days when there's a left handed starter and move Garcia to the DH spot. Takes LaRoche's bat out of the lineup against LHP, gives Bonifacio more regular PAs, and we might still actually get a defensive upgrade. Then maybe he does find a groove with more regular PAs and we could use him more in the IF. Yep, he should have been playing 3-5 times a week from the start and he should have been mostly in RF and 3B.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 01:45 PM) Eh maybe. Won't be at all surprised if he became productive again elsewhere Boni has sucked goat balls but RV has no clue how to use him.

Melky is surging. If Avi can hit a little and they get something out of the infield other than Jose maybe they can turn it around. I will say this: to be 5 under at this point feels like a miracle and maybe things aren't quite as bad as we thought with 90 losses. Even if they win like 80 that's an improvement. The pythag isn't there by the pitching is pretty damn good. If the offense and defense could just not be league worst bad they could get to .500 IMO.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 04:36 PM) I don't believe this team is going to the postseason this year, but I believe the top four in the rotation are too good to consider trading any of them. You always have a chance to compete with those four. Except for when you have a historically awful defense and offense. Doh.

I can't believe this team is "only" 5 under. There's literally zero reasons other than blind optimism to think they will run off something like 14 of 20, but if they do, hell, they are right f***ing there.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) Jeff Sullivan ‏@based_ball 20h20 hours ago White Sox position players in July have been worth 0.0 WAR, which is the group's best month of the season LMAO. You cannot make this ish up.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) So if Alexei happens to go on the DL who plays SS? I hope it isn't Beckham. I would rather bring up Saladino come play SS or bring up Micah and have Carlos play SS This is so obvious they won't ever consider it.

Yep it's more than time to bring Micah up. Hell, move Sanchez to SS while we are at it and see if he has the arm to play there. Like it's time to ditch Conor and Alexei as everyday players. Conor is a fine backup bad starter.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 02:53 PM) GB under .200 Nobody saw it coming!

I'm so glad they are gonna waste 300 AB on Gordon Beckham this year.

What a joke this org is. PUT HIM IN TEH f***ING PEN OR DFA HIM. Jesus, admit that the injury f***ed him and your plans and it's a SUNK COST. My god, there has never, ever been a pitcher that came back and was worth a s*** from this injury. Good on Danks for working his ass off even to come back and pitch in MLB again but it's over for him.
