O's fans give a round of applause to Chris Sale as he leaves. Though that could be applause of happiness.

jon greenberg ‏@jon_greenberg 1m1 minute ago Gar announced that Andy Greer wasn't retained as assistant coach. I'm pretty sure I saw his stuff being loaded into his car.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 46s46 seconds ago Jake Petricka and Zach Duke are both warming up for the #WhiteSox, who lead 2-0, B8.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 56s57 seconds ago Chris Sale returns to start 8th. He's at 108 pitches & #Orioles' 8-9-1 are due up. Only 1 truly stressful inning for Sale so far. #WhiteSox

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 15m15 minutes ago Rockies prospect David Dahl has likely concussion, broken rib after an awful on-field collision, per club source. Possible ruptured spleen.

Vincent Goodwill ‏@vgoodwill 9m9 minutes ago Forman said no teams called for Thibs and as far as looking for compensation, "nothing could be further from the truth"

QUOTE (LDF @ May 28, 2015 -> 02:01 PM) why not, they are paying a crap load of money to do nothing. all that crap that he was involve in must have died away by now. They also fired him, and would have to convince him to come back.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 28, 2015 -> 01:34 PM) I know there was smoke about Collins coming in as an assistant to Hoiberg. There was an article in the Trib where Collins is quoted as saying he offered to work on Thibs staff as an assistant. Thibs said no.

WHYUNOK?

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Broncos Pro Bowl LT Ryan Clady tore his left ACL during practice Wednesday and is likely to miss the 2015 season, a league source told ESPN.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 7m7 minutes ago Adam LaRoche has reached base in eight of his last 13 plate appearances. #WhiteSox

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 28, 2015 -> 01:09 PM) No s***. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. There isn't a single shred of evidence the Sox have some magic elixir to keep pitchers healthy. Throw the f***ing slider. Actually they do. They routinely appear on the bottom of the lists for DL trips. http://www.mangameslost.com/category/mlb/

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 28, 2015 -> 12:55 PM) But he's a comfortably worse pitcher when he's not regularly throwing three pitches. I'd rather an elite Sale with the possibility of injury (which has already been heavily reduced) than a simply really good pitcher with a further reduced chance of injury. The White Sox have always dealt with pitching in this respect. They don't have their guys throwing full out all of the time, and they are very careful about surgery causing pitches. They are already working on that kind stuff with Rodon. They feel the fall off is much less, then if you were to spend a year and a half of having [insert triple A pitcher] pitch while a Sale or Rodon sits out after Tommy John.

Right size, wrong shape.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 28, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) They already reduced it from 36% to 26% to 18%. 11% is too few. Which is all better than 0.

In May for Adam Eaton .284/.337/.420/.747

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 28, 2015 -> 12:21 PM) Wow, look at how much more effective Chris is when he mixes in sliders. It only took....2 months to figure this out? I think it is obvious that the organization knows that. They also know that he is more likely to hurt his arm throwing more sliders, which is what they at trying to avoid by working the change in more often.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 28, 2015 -> 12:22 PM) Sure, but there seemed to be a media angle that the Bulls were going to f*** with Thibs and prevent him from getting a good job. I am betting it was a Thibs angle hoping to get out ASAP so no jobs closed up.

Chris Mannix ‏@ChrisMannixSI 5m5 minutes ago Bulls are locked in on Iowa State's Fred Hoiberg, league sources have repeatedly said. Question is: Is Hoiberg ready to leave Ames? Jeff GoodmanVerified account ‏@GoodmanESPN @ChrisMannixSI He was ready to leave last year if he had gotten the Golden State job. LOVES the NBA.

Dave McMenamin ‏@mcten 16m16 minutes ago Per a league source, at this moment the Bulls have security waiting to escort Tom Thibodeau out of the building.while he packs his things

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 28, 2015 -> 12:07 PM) Van Gundy ripping Thibs or the FO? He went on a very public and loud tirade against the front office, supposedly on Thibs behalf if you believe the Bulls front office, during a broadcast earlier this year.

And seeing the mess of the Bulls, all but cements the fact that Robin Ventura will be the manager here for quite a while longer.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 28, 2015 -> 11:27 AM) This is a dangerous precedent when we use a transaction through a bank to force extradition and claim jurisdiction. Imagine a CEO of an American company being extradited to Vietnam because they have a supplier there and the transaction went through a local bank. FIFA is headquartered in Switzerland, it should have been the Swiss to prosecuted. It isn't really a precedent.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 28, 2015 -> 11:38 AM) He did mention keeping things private. That is pretty weird.I don't know about absolutely trashed, but I think it was a little over the line. His President tried beating up a former coach (minutes restriction on that one as well) and the coach he is firing has a .730 winning pct when the former MVP they lucked out in being able to draft is in the line up. Gar/Pax don't exactly seem like a working well with others pair, and that is 2 coaches they supposedly got wrong. I think 3 strikes you should be out. This is why they are so pissed, supposedly. Teddy Greenstein ‏@TeddyGreenstein 30m30 minutes ago Thibs buried own grave w/unwillingness to work w/his #Bulls bosses. But credit Jeff Van Gundy (rips during TV broadcasts) w/the assist.

South Side Sox ‏@SouthSideSox 14m14 minutes ago Orioles are .352/.436/.614 against Sale. Somehow, that only translates to a 5.06 ERA.
