QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 06:10 PM) I feel some compassion for Danks cause of the injury, none whatsoever for Tumbleweeds. I have no compassion. He's a rich man and he sucks.

Red Sox fans ought to be giving Danks a standing ovation.

Their lousy pitcher is long gone. Ours is still out there stinking it up.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 06:02 PM) I loathe Tyler Flowers. I loathe Stanks even more.

Hey monkey! Is John Danks a good pitcher?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 02:34 PM) If he is suppose to be starting more games how is starting once the last 5 games doing that? Flowers played in a day game yesterday after a night game, perfect chance to play Soto and didn't. Robin is full of s*** when he said Soto was getting more time, it is the same as it was before he said that If not even less. Well, at least LaRoche sits. One problem at a time I guess. Keep on with the winning, White Sox!!! I can't believe I'm kind of excited about a game that Danks is starting. What's wrong with me?!

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 02:00 PM) Greetings all. Here's my recent effort at a homemade grill - oil can barbecue. Hope you've all been keeping fabulously since my last posting here. Can I come and live with you?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 01:09 PM) 4 in the L column I'm hardly excited but it's sure nice to be interested again.

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 12:53 PM) Wow...some real "fans" here....hoping to lose...wow. It's been fun. You must be kind of new to Soxtalk game threads. Some guys are going to be negative if a guy pitches a 1-hitter.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 12:40 PM) I'm amazed at the Flowers hatred on the board. How many catchers can hit in baseball? Tyler is OK, nothing special but OK. Well..........no he really isn't even ok. Hitting-wise he's terrible.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 12:11 PM) such a great signing. I really really have had it with the 150+++ strikeout kind of guys. Please no more! Ever again!

While I'm not exactly in the "we should sell" club, I think we should be listening to all offers but don't bite unless it's too good to be true.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 08:10 PM) Later this week (I forget what day exactly...) he talks about pitching (and winning) the 1962 All Star Game at Wrigley Field. Mark It's funny, I remember sitting on my cousin's front porch in Lake Bluff listening to that game on the radio. I was 12.

Great day for Chicago baseball!!!! Hehehehe.

Sounds like awesome stuff. I'm particularly interested in the Ray Herbert stuff. He was one of my favorites when I was a kid.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 08:38 PM) For 2 games, this team has actually been fun to watch. Good D, smart baserunning, power hitting, solid pitching. Fun! Here and there this season the White Sox have been a lot of fun to watch. It's been kind of a weird year. You enjoy them for a week or two and then it's back to corpseball. Repeat....enjoy....suffer.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 08:01 AM) I understand, but my guess is that she still follows the Sox. Soxtalk is a good source for info - especially when you are busy with family stuff/work/life. So, it would stand to reason that she (and others who leave) check in occasionally. Going from posting 100 times per day to not posting at all is kind of crazy. Almost as crazy as posting 100 times per day in the first place. It is kind of weird in most instances anyway that posting just stopped abruptly........and then, no more. You would think you would see a gradual tapering off. But, I checked a few other long-time posters and it just seems to be an abrupt end for most. Anyway, it's pretty neat to check out.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 04:59 AM) I don't know how anyone can go to the movies, or really anywhere in public, without a handgun for protection. Are you serious? I've been doing it for 65 years and I'm still ok.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 02:21 PM) The Bulls were sold-out when Ron Mercer an company were on the team. I'll never forget the Khalid El-Amin and Dickie Simpkins era and yes they frickin' sold-out every night.

Happy that he has a chance elsewhere. I liked Conor and wish him well!

I'll take Little Leury over Bonifacio any day.

Well, if this is statistically the 7th worst offense of All Time and yet we have 42-48 record that might indicate that Robin Ventura's doing a pretty darn good job given the talent he has to work with. I'm just sayin'.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 07:45 AM) Welcome to the board Lip! I've always enjoyed your posts on WSI, glad to see you've joined the community here as well. Good stuff as always. Me too. Good to see you posting here, Lip!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 01:38 PM) He didn't the hitless wonders made him great. If they were the hitless wonders they'd be in 1st place. Instead they're just plain hitless.
