QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 11:45 PM) Ventura said Sale will not pitch tomorrow. They get a 26th man for the second game. I would imagine they will call up a starter. Worth noting is that Raunando is lined up to start for Charlotte. They could also send down a guy like Kanhle who has pitched a lot lately too (48 pitched over 3 innings in the last two days) to call up a reliever and give them two fresh arms.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 11:42 PM) Could Sale pitch in this game tomorrow when it resumes? Q is still scheduled to start tomorrow.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 11:23 PM) I never said he was justified, I said I applaud him for trying to show the brain dead team that you are here to win and if the jerseys are preventing that then it's up the the front office to do something about it. The front office decided to nothing (cause they wantedtheir PR and money) which showed sale what there mindset is and he went off. The front office botched this one and sale really botched it. Of all the things you could possibly blame, it is the jersey's fault? Oh come on.

JJ Stankevitz ‏@JJStankevitz 2m2 minutes ago Chicago, IL Jose Quintana will still start Sunday for #WhiteSox. Robin Ventura declined comment on what happened with Chris Sale. Slavko Bekovic ‏@SBekovic 4m4 minutes ago Robin on plans for next Sale start: "None right now." #WhiteSox

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) Sale barks at Robin whenever he pulls him from the game. He's a lot of things, but mentally weak isn't one of them. If you can't control your anger, you are mentally weak.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 10:25 PM) They tried to with the flu story. My guess is that cutting up all the jerseys was too obvious and a crazy story so it got out. Yeah, my guess is that there were people around in the clubhouse who were not team people and told the story. The Sox seemed like they were going to hide it with the flu thing, and then the truth leaked out and they had no choice but to fess up.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 10:16 PM) Would love to know what really happened and what drove this. Can't just be him deciding randomly to cut up the uni's. Clearly more to this, but why the hell are people leaking this crap anyway. Keep it in the clubhouse. If they have really covered for him multiple other times, my guess is that they couldn't cover this one up for some reason.

If nothing else Chris Sale owes his teammates and his fans a big and public apology. This is the ultimate act of putting yourself in front of the team. If you want to be a leaders and the face an organization, you have to be grown up enough to handle a freaking dress code.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 06:46 PM) Yeah, Sale wearing clown shoes is the reason this team has made the playoffs once in 10 years. That's it. I'm not saying Sale isn't to blame here either. I just am sick of everyone involved here. Everyone. No one said it was. But Chris Sale actively acting like my eight year old doesn't help things at all. I am not going to blame the front office for Chris Sale being an idiot when he is an idiot.

Julie DiCaro @JulieDiCaro The Sale thing started over something silly with either his uniform or the team's uniforms, according to a couple of sources.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 06:43 PM) Cotillo saying Braves could be interested That is a team that would have the pieces.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 06:41 PM) Maybe they should have tried to put a winning team around him instead of trying to baby him. Probably would have worked out better... Having your best player throwing public and loud temper tantrums repeatedly doesn't help that.

Albers thru 2IP hasn't given up an ER and thrown only 25 pitches. You can't ask for much more from him so far.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 06:39 PM) It'll come out shortly, the White Sox are going to make him look like an absolute clown. And he very well may be. But they are going to make their ace, the guy they are trying to trade, the guy that started the All-Star Game, ..,,look like a clown If this is the 4th incident in less than two years, and if the rumors are true about what triggered this, he is the one making himself look like a clown. Sounds like the Sox have babied the guy for years now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 06:36 PM) If they wanted to cover it up, could they have? Could they have played the "flu like symptoms" card? It sure seems they went out of their way to throw him under the bus, as it was phrased. Incredible. As late as it was when all of this took place, there might have been too many people around (ie not just team people) in the clubhouse for them to do that.

Chuck Garfien‏ @ChuckGarfien I'm hearing the Chris Sale incident was over something "stupid." Might have been a joke about getting traded and he flipped out.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) 2 to 1 odds KW was involved QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 06:31 PM) All thought it is worth nothing, the release came from Rick Hahn, and I have seen no indication that Williams was even there at the time. QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 06:34 PM) Source: Sale incident did not involve #WhiteSox executive VP Ken Williams. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/756995743865593856 Yep. Like I said.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 05:34 PM) The email says why and I said it twice. Some Christian voters wouldn't vote for Bernie if he were an atheist. I'd still like to know how you parsed anti-Semitism or racism out of any of this. lol, so trying to throw red meat to take advantage of perceived racism, isn't racism.

Julie DiCaro @JulieDiCaro Okay, if the Sale story I'm hearing is true, I totally get why the Sox threw him under the bus, because OMG. Lmao.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 06:30 PM) Considering when they said it was the front office, there are only like two people that could be... All thought it is worth nothing, the release came from Rick Hahn, and I have seen no indication that Williams was even there at the time.

What is it about superstars in this city that have absolutely no maturity at all?

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 05:13 PM) The email has nothing to do with him not being a Chritian, so I don't know how that's "literally" there. It's explicitly about him being Jewish or an atheist as being an atheist would cause him to lose some Christian voters. This email is mildly offensive to atheists (though we are well aware that we're political poison and they never actually did the plan), but not even remotely comparable to demonizing certain groups like Trump does, nor does it have anything to do with race as you initially claimed. So they want to get this out in the public eye for why again?

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 5m5 minutes ago #Rangers and #WhiteSox have had trade discussions regarding Chris Sale in last 48 hours. I do not know if those talks have progressed.
