Losstos has replaced hOt FiRe as the worst nickname ever created on this website

Not really impressed with Sanchez's catching so far Oh s*** that is Navarro

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 6, 2016 -> 07:13 PM) What if Mat Latos just snapped and a threw a 90 mph heater right at that lady's head? How would everyone react? Ummmmm what

I want one of those fedoras

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 6, 2016 -> 05:51 PM) Now a past victim says he told Paterno, who told him to drop the accusation. Your move, State College, still want the statue back? http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/06/us/jerry-san...linkId=24234146 They are all in denial. It doesn't matter what evidence is revealed

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ May 6, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Jesus, this thread started over 4 years ago. I'm old. Also f*** Paterno. His name should be wiped off the record books. edit: It's still unfathomable to me that Paterno could just turn a blind eye. He's a father of 5 kids himself! The mighty program trumped common sense

QUOTE (knightni @ May 6, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) I don't understand their short leash on Johnson. He's no worse than Gonzalez or Danks right now. At least give him a chance to try and improve at the MLB level. Because he hasnt been good, any time he has come up.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 6, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) We have been here before with Avi a couple of times. His first 23 games with the Sox, he hit .349. As late as June last season, his OPS was above .800. He will get ridiculously hot. That HR last night was amazing. The only HR I have ever seen with less air under it was Dave Winfield back in the 80s. The key will be can he stay away from swinging at pitches he can't hit. He's doing it now. I actually saw an AB with pitch trax where Avi only swung at strikes the other night. That doesn't happen too often. He has all the ability, but old habits tend to resurface. They should ride him when he's hot, though. And hide his glove so he can't go out to RF. I wasnt in the park last night, but I saw Harold Baines hit an oppo homerun in 96, and it looked like it stayed 12 feet off the ground for the entire flight. This was the game on my birthday when Baines, Thomas and Ventura went b2b2b and then Kreuter hit a homer 1 batter after our favorite piece of trivia, Lyle Mouton, had singled

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 6, 2016 -> 01:32 PM) The White Sox are in first place 4 games up on their nearest rivals. We will find a fifth starter. I think the Lincecum tryout will be interesting. Tim had hip problems last year and not arm problems if I remember right. I am sure the Sox will make an effort to sign him, if he looks ok.Whoever gets the fifth spot it will be interesting, but I see a starter being added and not another relief pitcher Over the last 4 seasons Lincecum has been statistically worse than Danks. Not just last year, the last four years.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 6, 2016 -> 01:05 PM) Haha...well, the movie title is just a bit misleading in one sense...because, marketing. (Yes, I'm aware it's part of the comic pantheon also). True, no Hulk and no Thor, but it has all the feel of an Avengers movie because you've got about 12 different characters in motion at the same time. To me, it was a bit reminiscent of X-Men (everyone's got a gimmick these days!) mixed in together with the Captain America series. Go figure, a marvel comic/movie reminds you of a marvel comic/movie.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 6, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) I actually had an experience with this a few months ago. My LAAAAAADY and I would go to this same bar on Tuesday nights for dinner and we knew the bartender pretty well. One day, this dude in a black dress and heels comes in with shoulders like a linebacker. Bartender comes up to us, "This freak show has been coming here a few times week looking for dudes. He even got this one weird guy last week." 20 minutes later, my LAAAAAADY goes to the bathroom and this dude follows her in there. I check to see which bathroom he goes in and of course it's the ladies room. I have to admit, I was less perturbed because of the fact that the bartender told me he was trying to pick up guys but it was a pretty weird situation for me. Do you have long flowing black locks?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 6, 2016 -> 12:03 PM) Soxtalk is a very liberal forum. There are a lot of people who probably agree with me, that the sight of a guy in drag as you say wouldn't be somewhat concerting/alarming/distasteful. A lot of guys aren't into that. Once again, YOU DONT HAVE TO BE "into that". Just treat the person like a human, and go about your business.

I had no idea Santino and Hornswoggle were still part of the roster

So i guess that is probably why we havent seen him yet.

I thought i remembered reading that if Turner comes up, he is either here to stay or will have to be DFA if they dont like what he gives them, they cant just send him back down. Is that correct?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 6, 2016 -> 09:57 AM) I just don't get how we can judge a guy off one game this year. Everyone has a bad game, I think we need to give these 5th starters at least 2 games. Boston has been one of the better offenses in the league. If Jackson catches Shaw's long fly ball last night Johnson only allows 3 runs in 5 innings (maybe more). It isnt just one game. This has happened pretty much every time he has come up

Lets hope. It would be a very nice surprise

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 6, 2016 -> 08:32 AM) In a way, the Sox set Johnson up to fail. He did strike out a few, but they were hitting rockets off him all night. The way they have jerked him around, and obviously he has something to do with it, isn't exactly going to make him really confident on the mound, but it it's obvious to a lot of us, it has to be obvious to him, the White Sox don't think much of his ability to be effective. It is sort of like what they were with Santiago. You know they don't trust him and won't trust him. It seems like they want him to do well enough another team would give them something they considered more desirable for him. That doesn't look like it will happen, but it seems to be a lock, he'll be a trade throw in soon. So far, as bad as Danks was this year, the 2 replacements have been worse. That won't continue. I expect Gonzalez to get at least a 3 or 4 game audition. If it's bad, Turner is next. I'm sure they wouldn't mind Fulmer being ready in a month or so, but you are going to run into an innings problem with him if he is. Still 19-10. There is room for some experiments. I dont really think they have jerked him around too much. The guy has been up multiple times, and has had stinkers like this pretty much every time. You can see it in his body language when things start going wrong too, he starts to nibble and is forced to bring his bp fastball to the zone when the count is in the batters favor. I know he has bounced up and down a few times, and apparently felt that he should have stayed with the big league club out of spring training, but I think he really has gotten opportunities to show he can take this job and has peed down his leg every time. The only time i can recall a solid start from the guy was (i believe) a september start where there was zero pressure on him to perform

Long distance relationship was the worst thing that happened to me during my freshman year of college. Just a disaster

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 6, 2016 -> 07:30 AM) I honestly wouldn't mind giving Tommy Milone a chance. He couldn't be any worse than Danks or EJ. I wouldnt be so sure of that. The Twins rotation is not that good, and they are cutting Milone

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 5, 2016 -> 11:41 PM) Uh oh in a politically correct charged environment like soxtalk that is a risque joke. I can't believe people are jumping on me for not being crazy about standing in line and eating next to some guy in a dress and heels. The guy is not pulling off well being a woman and I'm not all that interested in being around somebody who is making me uncomfortable at dinnertime. quit acting like you are being forced to hold hands with the guy. All you had to do was stand there for 3 minutes and order your food and leave. Maybe you should try pulling off being a man and deal with it

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 6, 2016 -> 06:53 AM) Every time he makes a piece of crap, we say this. The guy's a clown, but he must be one hellofa smooth talker. Truth

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 6, 2016 -> 01:07 AM) Johnson has been given plenty of chances. He's four A material nothing more. In my opinion he doesn't get anymore chances. You can't make deals in early May but Hahn simply has got to run up the phone bill and try. He's got no other choice unless he wants to roll the dice on a kid like Adams since Fulmer isn't ready tet. And here's the thing folks...if Latos has a good year he's gone next year to free agency. So assuming Carson steps into the rotation, YOU ARE STILL GOING TO BE A 5th STARTER SHORT. Mark Honestly, who cares about this right now? I'm not worried about next years rotation and Latos' impending free agency. So much could and probably will happen between now and then that will change things. Address 5th starter as soon as possible, worry about offseason and next season after this season is over
