QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 7, 2014 -> 08:54 AM) I agree, but if they were negotiating a deal, just wonder what the Phils would ask back They are going to ask for half of their farm system, just like they did with the Dodgers, and nothing will happen.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 7, 2014 -> 07:00 AM) De Aza did almost that exact same thing a few months ago, it is in chw42's avatar I was just going to say the exact same thing. I wonder if Alejandro is making a little cash on the side with his base running clinic?

This season of Whose Line is it Anyway has been the absolute funniest thing since way back to the English version with Clive Anderson hosting. None of the seasons done in the US has ever come close to this season.

So the Red Sox didn't start David Ortiz tonight. In a tie game they get a single and a double to start the 9th in a 1-1 tie game at St Louis. With runners at 2nd and 3rd, and no one out, they PH Ortiz. I don't ever want to hear what an idiot Robin Ventura is again.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 06:45 PM) Semien is by a decent margin the best positional prospect we have, an easy argument could be made he's projects as well (or even better than) Rodon. Just because he struggled in his one month in the majors, albeit while seeing an AL-leading pitches per at bat, and has since hit line drives exactly where fielder's are standing at Charlotte changes nothing. Plenty of guys take a couple months to adjust to major league pitching, and I'm still aggravated that we upset that process because GORDON BECKHAM MUST PLAY. I hope you mean Rondon and not Rodon.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 07:15 PM) I think it's more of the casual fan that's not a die hard and being pulled into the media hype...I'll admit that with the White Sox game already a blowout, I was more interested in the Cubs' game. That's pretty normal. It doesn't matter who it is, top (rookie) prospects catch our attention...whether it's Trout, Puig, etc. I don't follow Puig as much this year, compared to 2013...even though he's arguably a better player this season. Human nature. The casual Sox fans, aka Cub fans, are long gone. The bandwagon is empty except for real fans.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 07:02 PM) 1) The fact that those same fans know the White Sox aren't going to be bidding on Shields, Scherzer or Lester. 2) John Danks 3) That they are just bad enough to be interesting, but not bad enough to get a high draft choice when it really doesn't matter what happens from now through the end of the season as long as Abreu, Sale, Eaton, Avisail and Quintana stay healthy. 4) Having the third worst ERA in the majors despite Sale/Quintana 5) The fact that if they do address the starting pitching issues, there's probably not going to be money left over for the bullpen 6) The fact that our two best defenders are Eaton and Ramirez, and Eaton can't stay on the field and Alexei has a 50/50 chance of being traded 7) Reaction to all the excitement over Alcantara, Baez and Soler Any Sox fan who isn't going to games because of excitement over Cubs prospects isn't much of a Sox fan.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) Bad home stand a week too late. Too late for what? The trade deadline? This streak made no difference for that, unless you mean to lessen the value of the crappy players that people want traded.

Seth Lakso ‏@SethLakso 1m As Skinner hinted at last night, both Micah Johnson (head) and Carlos Sanchez (back) are back in today’s @KnightsBaseball lineup.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 03:32 PM) I never tho Robin was a good player he is one worst managers in all of baseball. Ventura was never a good player? How in the world do you think that?

Seth Lakso ‏@SethLakso 1h #WhiteSox OF coordinator Doug Sisson had high praise for Avisail Garcia last night. "He is impressive. I thought the best thing he did ... ..all night was go first-to-third on a ball to right field. This bodes well for our Major League team.” Sisson also said that the #WhiteSox are trying to put Garcia through a 10-day Spring Training-type situation in Charlotte and added.. "We were doing some extension stuff where he had to run down fly-balls to his glove side and it doesn’t bother him… ..He’s 100-percent healthy. The biggest thing at this point is just getting his legs in shape."

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 39m Per @baseball_ref, Tyler Flowers has now thrown out 22 of 67 base stealers (32.8 percent). League average is 28 percent.

Jim Bowden ‏@JimBowden_ESPN 1m Cubs have claimed Jacob Turner on waivers and gave the rights

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:46 PM) Against RHP, I would have Dunn bat 2nd. He can still get on base for Abreu, he doesn't hit into a lot of double plays, and maybe he can take advantage of a lack of shift if Eaton is on. If he were at all willing to go to the left side, I would entertain this idea.

Adam Eaton just left todays game after smashing into the fence trying to catch what ended up being a homer. NO prognosis as of yet.

Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 2h Dunn's 457 career HRs are most in ML history for a player making his pitching debut. Jimmie Foxx had 456 when he pitched in '39.

Nice AB by Jose to work back into a walk.
