QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) I am all for trying something different but why put Ramirez 2nd when he is batting .194? Also, I thought Ramirez has struggled in the 2 hole in his career or do I have that turned around? Edit: He is hitting .277 batting 2nd in his career so pretty good. Trying to get him more fastball by hitting ahead of Cabrera and Abreu would be my guess

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 4m4 minutes ago #WhiteSox for 4/30: Eaton 8, Ramirez 6, Cabrera 7, Abreu 3, LaRoche DH, Garcia 9, Gillaspie 5, Flowers 2, Johnson 4. Sale v. May.

But Chip Kelly has Tim Tebow already!

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 12:35 PM) Keith Law really doesn't think Fulmer can be a starter. I have similar concerns from the games I've seen the last month or so. Ryan (Nashville) Given that Carson Fulmer holds his stuff late into games and has, knock on wood, never had injury problems, is there a non-zero chance he can be a starter? It seems like sometimes there are just funky guys that it works for (Sale, Lincecum), so could you see a team in the top 15 take a chance on him thinking he can start? Klaw (1:27 PM) Two questions. Do I think he can start? Absolutely not. Incredibly violent, max-effort delivery that currently has him with 40 fastball command. Yes, he holds his stuff and hasn't been hurt, but he also pitches every seventh day, and Vandy handles their arms as well as any program in the country. Do I think someone will take him in the top 15? I'd give you even money on that. That is pretty much what he said about Sale.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 01:54 PM) So if you were making $3M from something and now it was going to be $2M you would say cool! We're just splitting the golden goose? Most of these guys are owners because they built businesses that grabbed more than the other companies in their industry. These guys are trying to win. Bigger payrolls, bigger profits. Maybe you would just accept whatever split was offered but I sure would fight for every dime. I think the difference is that you wouldn't go out and actively sabotage your own business and other franchise businesses to get even. What was done, is done. It isn't changing. All this mess did was to screw his team and the opposing team for no good reason.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 12:42 PM) Actually I think you should be that guy and get a tattoo of 2015 World Series Champs: Chicago White Sox. Book it Good call. They have to win then!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 11:47 AM) People, quit b****ing. This is why we have no home court advantage thus far in the playoffs. Enjoy the fact that this squad is there and they have a legit shot at going deep. And stop talking about the Cavs...right now, the Bucks are the matter. I am not a big fan of complaining, but when you have an inferior team down 3-0, and let them back into a series at 3-2, fans deserve to b****. This series should be over.

Let me just stop the OP here. The White Sox as a team have serious questions. We all knew this going into the season. We made some huge strides in the off season, but everyone knows it isn't a perfect team yet. Even Rick has said there are things he still wants to improve on. If your opinion of the ebbs and flows based on one start, you are probably taking the minutia too seriously and need to re-evaluate.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 08:21 AM) Yeah, as frustrating as he can be with his affinity for certain players, there is no doubt he has gotten results on the ice. And given how other teams haven't been able to maintain as long, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. I saw it said before, but the Blackhawks have turned into the Red Wings of a decade ago. A few mainstay stars, with a constantly changing cast around them. Management brings in pieces to complement the stars. The biggest thing that management has done right is to manage the cap really well since the GM change, and not have to have a purge that involved the top level of players. Sure we have moved some talent, but the mainstays are still here.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 10:18 PM) Who in the world thought that?!? Does this mean I shouldn't be waiting to see when playoff tickets go on sale?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 06:23 PM) No s***, we must have the easiest to please fan base in America. Cubs say what?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 05:23 PM) So far, KC chose the right DH free agent. Don't even try passing off that you would have rather signed Alex Rios vs Melky Cabrera.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 05:05 PM) Looking at the fangraphs WAR numbers, it's amazing this team has won as many games as they have. The Tigers/Royals/Cubs have higher rated players at pnearly every single position from the comparisons I looked at. Out of 188 qualified hitters, Alexei is 158th/Melky 160th/Avi 168th/Eaton 175th. That is exactly why I am pretty optimistic. We are two games under .500 with the starting pitching not being together yet, and half of the line up hitting like Leury Garcia. Unless you expect these trends to continue, which I don't... #itgetsbetter

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 03:43 PM) I bet you think they won't But will still watch and be angry and complain about it...
