QUOTE (MEANS @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) I'm not saying Danks hasn't been crap this year but in his last start he gave up 2 runs.... The funny thing is i felt like last start they were hitting him much harder than the previous start. The offense didnt help at all though, he deserved better only giving up 2

jesus, caulfield. wtf

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 09:14 AM) 861 vs. 729 career MILB OPS, Vogelbach vs. Garcia (693 MLB)...pretty appreciable difference You know what else is appreciable? Vogelbach hasnt played above AA except for his 17 games there this season. In fact, he has bounced between rookie ball and AA for the first three years of his minor league career, and really hasnt done anything that makes me say "OH MY GOD WE NEED THIS GUY AS OUR DH/BACKUP FIRST BASEMAN"

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 10:22 PM) Michael Brantley's back with the Indians... Michael Fulmer called up by the Tigers. Also, with the way Justin Upton's struggling with the Tigers, we just MIGHT want to find a DH who has a successful track record hitting in the AL. Jose Berrios got hit pretty hard by the Indians in his debut. But Byung Ho Park very quietly with 5 homers for the Twins (yet another DH candidate we had a shot at). lets see a full season from him before we start pining for him as the guy who got away. The Sox made him look terrible in the sweep up in Minnesota

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:45 AM) Vogelbach or bust! ....says the Iowa Cubs

Nobody wants Vogelbach

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) Lol CSN just showed navarros last triple and that wasn't really even a triple Yea that was a pretty generous triple

Estrada goes into the clubhouse between innings twice with some sort of a back shoulder injury and they keep throwing him out there like this game is super important

Quintana was a simultaneous annoying and brilliant inning

Chicago White SoxVerified account ‏@whitesox Prior to tonight’s game, the #WhiteSox optioned RHP Miguel Gonzalez to Class AAA Charlotte and recalled RHP Daniel Webb

The only Baltimore pitcher I recognize is Ubaldo

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 11:26 AM) He very well may be clean. As we've seen too often over the last 20 years or so in MLB, usually when someone starts doing unprecedented things, suspicion has become reality. If you didn't know the situation and learned that a pitcher that flopped in the majors all of a sudden became the best pitcher in the history of the game with the body of a Greek god and was hitting 440 foot homers, I think everyone would start wondering. It's not like people weren't questioning it last season...it's just now it's come out his peers have questioned it also. That's perfectly fair, all I am saying is blaming the baseball media for burying this because OMG CUBS is super f***ing lame. ManRam, Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, Clemens all got rooted out and every one of them was much bigger to the majors at that time than the Cubs are right now. There are always skeptical reporters that start digging when they are suspicious, not all of them follow along like puppies on a leash

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 11:18 AM) This isnt just people, these are other MLB players who are in the same labor union Arrieta is in. You think these guys dont talk? You dont think what happens in the Cubs locker room necessarily stays there? The thing about office gossip is at its core there's almost always a truth, yet here we are with a Cubs-obsessed media willing to walk right past the obvious. Hey man, don't let anything get in the way of your crusade. rage on, fight the power, take the man down *raises fist*

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 11:15 AM) It's amazing how many garbage teams the Cubs face on a regular basis. I'm pretty sure the baseball media makes the schedule

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) Just looking at the velocity data, if he was up to no good, it probably started taking place towards the end of the 2012 season. Some pretty big spikes across the board. It is amazing that he's throwing his slider 5-7 mph harder than when he first came into the majors. http://www.brooksbaseball.net/velo.php?pla...16&s_type=2 What has Arrietta said all along about Baltimore forcing him to throw the way they wanted to? All we ever talk about is how his delivery across the body is bad news and is the reason for his success and could be the reason for his downfall. People are gonna believe what they want. Could Arrietta be on the juice? Yea. Does his success indicate that he is on the juice? No

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 10:49 AM) You mean the sports media that breathlessly fawns over the Cubs all day every day? Joe Maddon could be killing prostitutes in broad daylight in front of Tribune Tower and they'd burying the story. The same media that breathlessly fawned over Sosa until they didn't, yes

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 10:38 AM) Why is it that when Jake Arrieta is accused of PED use by other players the media is more concerned with Arrieta blowing off those allegations than the fact those allegations were made in the first place. "Jake Arrieta says he's flattered by accusations of PED use" (http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15388965/jake-arrieta-chicago-cubs-says-flattered-accusations-ped-use).... uhhhh burying the lede much ESPN? I think the bigger story here may that other players, who dont seem to hurl these accusatiosn around all willy nilly, think the reigning Cy Young award winner is on the juice. There isn't much you can do but take reactions and talk about them. JA hasn't tested positive, nothing is linked to him, the only thing we have is his crazy results to go on and make accusations with. I'm sure if there is anything worth investigating, someone is investigating it

Offense clap clap clap

I feel bad for Smith. You never know if it is your one and only shot at the bigs and this happens

http://jezebel.com/i-hope-you-get-raped-ag...sten-1773096108 Julie DiCaro and Sarah Spain have mean tweets read to them by some guys who weren't aware of what they were going to read

I clicked on a few random videos and every one of them had Viciedo facing a white pitcher

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 10:50 AM) Or, he's Tuffy Rhodes, Randy Bass, and Warren Cromartie. Which, isn't so bad. Those guys made good livings in Japan

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 10:26 AM) Kyyle - Horace Grant.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 10:19 AM) Chris Sale is one of the best pitchers in baseball. What he really "tends" to do is pitch really well. Maybe someday you will see that. But by all means, make up something he tends to do so you can be pessimistic about any game he pitches. Facts suck. Stop baiting threads. We all get it, your posts are infallible and you never say a bad thing about the sox in fear of it being thrown back in your face like you love to do to everyone else.

The craziest thing about the Tulo play is where the ball hit him. It was his right arm/elbow, the ball crossed in front of his body and he chicken winged it
