QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) Reflecting where the Sox are in the grand scheme of things once again this summer. Bitter much?

7 innings of shutout ball for Gonzalez. That is very nice medicine for the pen.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:15 PM) God yes this. That's a good twitter quote too. Depressingly true too.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:10 PM) Bitter much? Thread sizes and who is in them speaks for itself.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:06 PM) Update (9:52 p.m.): Woj reports that the Heat and Bulls gave Wade similar offers, yet he chose Chicago anyway: They are really having to kick themselves for offering the guy barely more than what Etwan Moore got to start with.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 08:50 PM) https://twitter.com/stevenharnden/status/750868827802636288 This guy is a terrible source.

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) Why so few people on the forum tonight? The Sox aren't losing.

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 08:40 PM) Yes, but given how many pitches he keeps on throwing, there's no chance that this will be a complete game for him. Welcome to 2016. If your 5th starter gets you 6 quality innings, you are golden.

So far, so good for Gonzalez.

So the Bulls are going to trade guys to make space, and then get left at the alter again by Wade, aren't they.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 06:47 PM) If we sign Wade, than I think the possibility of actually landing a bigger fish a year from now increases. I also think Wade helps ensure that Rondo doesn't totally ruin team chemistry. It would literally be the only reason to sign Wade to a big contract at this stage.

Rob Young ‏@RobertHYoung 14m14 minutes ago From a reliable source on the Spencer Adams injury, it is his ankle and there is some hope that it is just a sprain #WhiteSox

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 28m28 minutes ago Bolingbrook, IL What do Chris Sale, Clayton Kershaw, Felix Hernandez and Justin Verlander have in common? They are only other active pitchers to be selected to five consecutive All-Star teams

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 05:59 PM) I don't know. There are 40 bulls games over what, 6 months? 20k per stadium, games always on weeknights or weekends. I'm amazed there are cities where they don't sell out basketball games in the NBA. If they can't support that there has got to be places that can. There is no way to hit JReinsdorf in the pocketbook with the bulls. Their global pull is too great, and the money that arrives too guaranteed. But if Virginia McCaskey can be swayed by having a season blow-up to laughingstock status, maybe Jerry can too. The lowest attendance the Bulls have seen since the UC was built was just over 18,900, despite having some truly awful teams in that stretch. They haven't been under 20k since 2003-2004. They will be full.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) I'll take YFBB and Ricky over KC Johnson anyday. Blogabull is by far the best Bulls news site. Twitter, yes, I guess if you follow trolls, but tweets like this that come out after were commonplace: https://twitter.com/ChrisKuc/status/750761110681165824 But yes, if I was Garpax I would be worried about how fans are viewing the organization. The comments sections on SBnation sites are not different than this message board. The thing is they will still draw 20k a night next year. Bulls fans are like Cub fans.

QUOTE (kevo880 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 04:45 PM) Do you think Avi will be sent down to AAA when this happens or just get less AB's? My guess? Bench.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 04:32 PM) Does anybody have an official Avi countdown going yet? Every day I see this, I die a little on the inside. The all star break. Then Morneau will be activated and start at DH.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 50m50 minutes ago #WhiteSox for 7/6: Anderson 6, Eaton 9, Abreu 3, Cabrera 7, Frazier 5, Lawrie 4, Navarro 2, Garcia DH, Shuck 8. Gonzalez 1.

FOX Sports: MLB ‏@MLBONFOX 11m11 minutes ago Pete Rose sues former baseball investigator John Dowd over rape claims.

So in the midst of being named to the All-Star team, someone had to ask Chris Sale about Jake Arrieta. Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 2m2 minutes ago What about a Sale/Arrieta matchup to start the All-Star game? Sale: "Anything that can promote something positive for this city I'm for it."

whitesoxdave ‏@barstoolWSD 10m10 minutes ago Chicago, IL Buster Olney just said on ESPN Radio the White Sox should sell high with Quintana to the BoSox and that they'd def overpay #Benintendi

QUOTE (captain54 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 03:10 PM) You list Jennings as having the lowest ERA among the relievers in the last 30 days.. funny, that was the guy that got booed at the Minn game I was at, and was the main culprit in almost coughing up a nine run lead…. I guess the fans should have consulted their stat sheet before they commenced to booing.. We could go back and forth with this all day, boss…. Go ahead and trot out your ERA stats. I'll assume it was just an honest mistake on your part to not include the Sox pen…having the worst BB % per 9 in the AL. by far.. also, just a fraction of a percentage from having the worst WHIP in the AL…. So again you are going to substitute 30 days of numbers, for one person's performance in that one game you were at.
