The problem is simple: it's home runs and .OPS
QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Sep 22, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) The Sox were lucky to win the Central in 2000. They over-performed before the break and regressed into an above-average team afterwards. Unsurprisingly, they were unable to win a playoff game. And, pretty much every starting pitchers arm/shoulder exploded. Eldred, Sirotka, Parque, and Baldwin all never really were the same again. Baldwin held onto it a bit longer than the other three, but that starting staff was ragged when the playoffs started

Jose Abreu: White Sox Don't Have Same Desire to Win As Royals
QUOTE (Coach @ Sep 22, 2016 -> 07:19 AM) I understand that. Most catchers do since they have been squatting and are not stretched out for sprints. Not many people understand that. But his competitiveness was second to none. He even called out his own teammates for not hustling. That being said, he is one of the reasons why the Sox beat the Angels. Remember the dropped 3rd strike? I think what we are all getting at here is nobody is gonna be benched for a reason such as what you pointed out, Melky not charging hard on a weak fly ball. Its ridiculous, and it serves no purpose for a veteran player, nor does it serve a purpose in the majors for most players. You can call for it all you want but you wont see it

Jose Abreu: White Sox Don't Have Same Desire to Win As Royals
QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 21, 2016 -> 03:24 PM) Neither is groupthink. Compare his historical RF defensive numbers to his CF and then get back to me about the concept of "Willful ignorance". I love how every time someone disagrees with you, you immediately call them sheep. The White Sox didn't want him in center, they were forced to put him there due to multiple injuries. Get back to all of us sheep when you actually pay attention

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 21, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) I saw 2-4 weeks on ESPN. AP is only part human though. Check out Josina Andersons timeline, she has been going over it. 2-4 weeks was the estimate if he got it trimmed instead of repaired. She also talks about how he is not normal and will probably beat that timeline as well Vikings also just put LT Matt Khalil on the IR too

Jose Abreu: White Sox Don't Have Same Desire to Win As Royals
QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 21, 2016 -> 08:23 AM) Defensively in right field, yes. Great to see the White Sox playing him much of September in center. Yea they should put Melky or Avi in Center, what are the White Sox thinking!? Its almost like all of the Center fielders on the team are injured and they have no choice but to put their fastest and most competent outfielder in center

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 20, 2016 -> 09:38 AM) I went on Sunday. Mostly just went for Bad Religion and Misfits. Both were good. Watching the Misfits was a little bit surreal at first. Also saw Rob Zombie, not a huge fan, but thought he was pretty good. He probably sounded the best out of all the bands I saw. How was parking?

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 20, 2016 -> 11:50 AM) Semantics I guess. I"m referring to blind Bears fans who support the franchise without a fault, pretending like Ditka and 85 were two seasons ago. I have a very hard time finding anyone who supports this franchise without fault. People who celebrate Ditka/85 usually have a LOT of problems with the McCaskeys, the current product, and pretty much anything that is current NFL product

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 20, 2016 -> 11:42 AM) Which of those arguments do you disagree with? People should still go to every game and give that family more money for a poor product? People should continue to pretend like Ditka and the 85 Bears were the recent past? They shouldn't blow the entire franchise up and start from square one? I mean, to some extent they are on this road already, I realize that. I'm saying pick up the pace and really blow it up. There's no reason to have Jeffrey on the roster. It's a valuable chip. Get something for him before it's too late. They ARE blowing this franchise up. You just have zero patience for pretty much anything and for some reason want to start blowing it up again. The roster inherited from Trestman needed to be purged, and we are watching it happen. What was your predicition this season? Does 0-2 really surprise you or anyone else here b****ing about this game?

The same ones that continue to praise a team from 30 years ago as if they're still relevant and give the McCaskey's money week after week to watch one of the worst run franchises in the league. you call out meathead fan, then drop the McCaskey burn in the same post shortly after the "blow this up" post. lol

MLB investigating Padres for hiding health info
QUOTE (SCCWS @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) Look at the ERA. There is a difference of 2 runs per game for guys on the same pitching staff. Pomeranz was having a good year and was on a good stretch when he was traded. The ERA that was 3.06 before his 10 run outing? I see it. Hell, he was even striking people out prior to that outing too
