QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 11:53 AM) It is true that Ward is as responsible for the situation as Stewart. That is why I don't think there will be any criminal problems for Stewart. However, Stewart could have taken a lower line knowing what was going on. If Stewart really was only on a high line because he was following the car ahead of him, he was negligent for not knowing what was going on. He knew where the wreck was as he caused it and he should have been lower on the track with a wreck at the top of the track. edit: I guess my overall point is that some people are making it look like Stewart had no choice but to hit the kid. The kid put himself in the situation and Stewart made it worse with his actions. This is why the accident happened. No one has ever hit another driver before and they both did things that contributed to it. In relation to the accident, Stewart's line was fine. If you look at the first cars to go by the spin out, they are on higher lines than what Stewart was. Stewart came out of the turn in the bottom half of the middle lane. That shouldn't be a worry for a driver, as the accident was left all of the way at the top of the track.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 11:50 AM) I think it will be Danks and De Aza will just play CF for the rest of the month until September call ups.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 11:07 AM) I think the goal right now is finding some sort of long-term alternative, which is something Willingham doesn't represent. That's my biggest qualm. Even if Taylor is a 28 year old career minor leaguer, he can still stick around for 5-6 years and that takes you to 2020. And you hopefully have someone lined up to take over that spot come 2019. Frankly, Alejandro De Aza was pretty much a career minor leaguer when he took over CF for the Sox and, while he's had his struggles and brain farts, has been an overall good player for the Sox. De Aza's big problem was catastrophic injuries.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 10:44 AM) Remember, a guy who shoots 90 on average is not an 18...he's likely a 11-12 or so...handicap is more a measure of a golfers better rounds, not his average score. Yeah, I still think the general point stands. Pro's are pro's because they are able to repeat their shots with a very high level of consistency. A guy like Els hitting the same shot twice is still going to cluster those shots very close to each other on a high percentage of occasions.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 10:38 AM) Ok, so two golfers...on an average, 6,500 yard course....one golfer shoots about 90 on average, the other golfer is Ernie Els. Each golfer gets to hit two balls on every shot, including putts. The 90 golfer gets to play his best ball every time. Ernie Els has to hit his worst ball every time. Who shoots the better score? I would say Els. A professionals worst shot is going to be better than a 18 handicapper's best shot 95% of the time. They will be much more consistent and accurate. A guy like Els will see very little difference between his two attempts.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 09:30 AM) When can Eaton come off the DL? He last played on 8/8, so I think the 23rd or 24th.

And now you know!

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 01:43 AM) I've always wished that the Sox would do some sort of $5 early admission thing to watch the Sox take BP. I'd pay it.

It will be really interesting to see who gets moved. Jordan Danks is the last guy on the roster, but then either De Aza or Garcia is your CF.

The White Sox are not going to spend a lot of money on their pen at this stage. The might sign a set up guy, but it will be mostly reclaimation projects and internal promotions.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 09:13 AM) With his unwillingness to listen to the manager you think he'd pass through waivers semi easily so we should be able to trade him to any team. Yeah, but who would want him?

QUOTE (kev211 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 12:02 AM) Lol. Let's blow them out and show melo what he missed out on. You know Jo is going to do everything he can to shove it down Melo's throat.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Aug 12, 2014 -> 04:44 PM) I love that movie, not a real big fan of Williams comedy routine but I do like a lot of his movies, Death to Smoochy, One Hour Photo and Awakenings being my favorites. I loved Death to Smoochy as well. A well done dark comedy.

Jason Beck ‏@beckjason 40m MRI on Verlander found inflammation. At this point, reducing that is the major hurdle.

QUOTE (TRU @ Aug 12, 2014 -> 03:16 PM) Can I personally attack someone through PM? Uh, not really.

Chris Iott ‏@Chris_Iott 5m Tigers expect that Verlander will miss at least one start. Robbie Ray extremely likely to start Sunday in his place.

Jason Beck ‏@beckjason 4m Ausmus on Verlander: "There was no major structural damage. At this pt we don't expect him to go on the DL."

John Dewan ‏@FieldingBible 3m Stat of the Day: The AL Central-leading @Royals have saved 28 runs on defense this year, while the @Tigers have been 39 runs below average.

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 5m Rays' OF Josh Sale has to be running out of chances. Suspended all of last year by the club. Now 50 games by MLB for drug of abuse.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 12, 2014 -> 02:03 PM) That homer he hit off Guardado was awesome. I remember freaking out in my living room at the time. Thomas came up the next inning, hit a long one foul and then hit a long one fair. Yeah, that was great.

The post might have been absurd, but the meaning is there. The black community would benefit way more from solving black on black crime, versus police brutality. The numbers aren't even close. If this much "effort" was put into that, way more young black lives would be saved.

He takes the roster spot of left-handed pitcher Eric Surkamp, who was optioned to Charlotte following Sunday’s game at Seattle.

Lindstrom is 2-1 with a 3.32 ERA (7 ER/19.0 IP), six saves (nine opportunities), 11 strikeouts and five double plays induced over 19 relief appearances with the White Sox this season.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is his favorite thing in the world, and he really enjoys a lot of the Disney movies. It's totally for us, more than him, but we know that going in. That works.
