QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 12:56 PM) Wake me up when we're within 3-4 of a playoff spot. 1 more game and that happens.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:25 PM) We may not have the largest fan base around, but the fans we do have are, in fact, great. The fact they support this club at all with the crappy teams they've been subjected to over the last 55 years supports that claim. Perhaps you could focus your contributions to the discussion on the reason for all of those poor teams, which is the ineffectual ownership and management over those 55 years, and less on bashing White Sox fans every chance you get. Yeah, last in TV ratings and 4th to last in attendance. Great support there.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 09:58 PM) We're beating up the Cleveland Indians though, not the Royals. This team is a fraud with this lineup. Sell. Sell. Sell. They beat up Bauer, Kluber, and Carrasco. Stop and digest that for a while.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 12m12 minutes ago By 8-1, 6-0 and 10-3 scores in Cleveland, it's first time White Sox have won 3 straight games by 6-plus runs since 05/25/2012 - 05/27/2012

Excellent!

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 8m8 minutes ago White Sox shifted around AAA rotation a bit. Erik Johnson, supposed to start today, shifted to Tues (Samardzija next start) via @CSNHayes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 12:52 PM) Swear I checked charlotte's starting pitcher this morning and it was listed as EJ, now it's listed as Marin and EJ is not scheduled any time in the next few days. His last start was on the 20th so today would be normal rest for him, Penny and Carroll are listed the next couple games. #HugWatch #SamardjizaWatch #JohnsonWatch

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 1h1 hour ago Exec on market: “If you’ve got a hitter, you’ve got gold. If you’ve got a pitcher, you’ve got a hot potato.” Surplus of pitchers available.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 09:14 PM) Starlin Castro has a -4 wRC+ in July. Is that bad? Shh. He is getting them a front line pitcher.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 05:26 PM) 30 mill is what he'd command this offseason, in 2018? Whew, can't imagine. Chris Sale as a free agent would break records for pitchers. He'd probably clear $35 million annually.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) Sounds exactly like the type of talent a team dead last in TV ratings and practically at the bottom in attendance desperately needs. Sox fans don't care about star players.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 08:23 PM) If people don't want to watch the Sox, then just don't watch them. We're better off without fair-weather fans. Just don't come back when we start winning. Don't say that. You'll hurt everyone's feelings who thinks they are the greatest fans ever.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 2h2 hours ago Alexei Ramirez credited support of coaches for recent play. Said he and staff had a "friendly meeting" and it has helped. #WhiteSox

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 11m11 minutes ago Robin Ventura, who knows Larry King some from #Dodgers days, said of the tweet: "I haven't called him about the trade, no." #WhiteSox

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) The thing about Q is that his value is high based on his performance relative to his contract. This holds a lot of weight for most teams...except the Dodgers. Since the Dodgers don't seem to be afraid of paying a lot is it really fair to say they value Q like other teams would? To that end, do we really think they would give up Max value for him in prospects? That and the fact that he is one of the best pitchers in baseball.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) contrary to popular belief, SS2K5 has not reached a point of transcendence within the internet, so these mistake happen from time to time. Luckily im there to correct it quickly LIES!

clarkspencer ‏@clarkspencer 12m12 minutes ago #marlins are nearing deal with cardinals for Steve cishek Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 2m2 minutes ago Worth noting: Steve Cishek is going to be expensive in arbitration. Makes $6.65M this year, meaning at minimum would make $5.32M next year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 01:40 PM) One of those things that kills a lot of people is legal. One of them is not. Both are incredibly irresponsible and lead to huge numbers of dead people. "If we ban drunk driving, only the criminals will drive drunk!". Actually they are remarkably similar. Drinking is a legal activity. Guns are a legal activity. Misuse of alcohol is illegal in many forms. Misuse of guns in many forms is illegal. Shooting people is illegal (with a very few exceptions), as is driving drunk. The other side is that we did ban alcohol for a period of time, and that worked out remarkably similar to how all of our gun laws have worked out.
