QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 05:17 AM) Matt Abbatacola ‏@MattAbbatacola 12h Too bad the @whitesox allow Ken to use the team broadcasts to be sexist and to express his personal agenda to things not related to baseball Translation, he got me, and now my best move is to try to grab the high moral ground.

And big props to Garcia. We have learned more about his character this year than we could have ever hoped to learn. To bust his ass like he did to get back to play this year tells me a ton about his work ethic and heart.

The first domino off of the 40 man roster goes down.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 29m Spencer Adams, for Arizona Rookie League White Sox: 39 2/3 innings, 45 H, 54 K, 4 BB. Yes, 54-4. 2nd rounder in '14 First-Year Player Draft

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 10:42 AM) Of course, everyone knows there's a big difference between a 13 year old (physically, maturity-wise) compared to a 17 or 18 year old girl. We're still talking about children in this situation, not women beating men...Billy Jean King vs. Bobby Riggs this isn't. The first to crucify people for sexism, are the first to exploit it for ratings. Just like many of the same people slamming Hawk for being an old school sexist, are exploiting the idea that females have to all come in some sexually optimal form, otherwise they are inferior to the rest of their sex and aren't desirable for the opposite sex.

Damned right they should.

It is funny to note that the media is totally exploiting the idea of female dominance in baseball as a big deal for one of the lead stories, even outside of sports, with Mo'ne Davis. The entire idea is that females aren't as good as males, so when a female dominates males, in a male sport, this is a huge news story. No sexism there, right media?

Bears Insider ‏@bears_insider 9m RT @AdamSchefter: Bears and former Jets WR Santonio Holmes have agreed to terms, per team source.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 09:10 AM) Because I was trying to make a team out of former Sox minor leaguers and/or current ones. Then the infield would be obviously be Abreu, Beckham, Alexei, Viciedo probably in the OF over Sweeney, etc. Chris Sale has only been a member of the White Sox organization for his whole career, and spent about as much time in the minors as Gordon Beckham.

I hope so.

Why leave out Chris Sale?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 11:00 PM) Where do u live? Why the heck would want the White Sox to leave Chicago? That's insane. They've been playing there since about 1900. WTF? With all due respect, I've never read something so horrible from a Sox fan. Wanting them to move??? 1901. 1900 they were the Saint Paul Saints.

Most predictable post ever.

Well hopefully the pen can hold this lead... [whimpers softly]

Sierra running for Dayan.

A lot of working into deep counts tonight for the Sox.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 08:39 PM) Some people have not adopted political correctness as their religion. Was this comment out of place 20 years ago. Mo! f*** this sensitivity bulls***. The religion of outrage.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 08:35 PM) After looking at the replay again on Flowers, the right call was made that he was out. However, it's cause he swung at the pitch, and not cause it hit his bat. They didn't call it a swing. They called it a foul tip. You can't review a "swing". That is umpire discression.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 08:27 PM) What are they looking at in NY ? Who knew it took five minutes to get your magic 8 ball to work, because they sure as hell aren't looking at actual game footage.

#1 replay is a damned joke. Why take five minutes out of the game if you can't even get the call right? That is two games in a row of this crap. #2 Hawk's reply to Abattacola was classic.

This is going to be a loooooong night.
