Baseball Reference ‏@baseball_ref 5m Scherzer had 178 career GS before his 1st career CG. That was the longest drought to start a career in last 100 yrs: http://gadel.me/ST3Lrq

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 10:45 AM) And that is the problem with dynamic pricing raising prices instead of lowering them for unsold tickets as the game draws near. I would use Stubhub myself. It is a reason many season ticketholders, at least those with the smaller plans bailed. They can save money by having others take a bath. I compare stubhub and whitesox.com and buy from the better deal.

I hope this guy has a REALLY long arm to fit all of the years on it... http://www.freep.com/article/20140613/SPORTS01/306130117/

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 10:35 AM) So where are the people that complain about not watching the NBA because it's "an iso game" now? Are they the biggest spurs fans in the world or can we just call that b.s. at this point. I have loved the Spurs for a long time because they are one of the very few TEAMS in the NBA today. They play a great style of basketball, everyone is always in motion, setting screens, backcuts, etc. They also play intelligent and hard defense on the other end of the floor.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 09:09 AM) Your lists are always the best and this is no exception -- but I'm still so shocked at how highly Adams is ranked at this point. I'd be curious to hear you elaborate on how he's higher than Davidson/Sanchez despite not having thrown a professional inning. Rodon hasn't thrown a professional inning yet either, and I don't see anyone having trouble ranking him #1.

QUOTE (The Mighty Mite @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 10:08 AM) Hey pal, I didn't start this thread so what's the problem with my throwing my 2 cents in. I can't believe how some of you can get so downright personal with other members instead of addressing the problem that the OP brought up. When you said that the fans didn't deserve the team, you made it personal for a lot of people. You can't poke a hornets nest that be shocked that you get stung.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 09:34 AM) Frankly, this is true of all 30 teams. Yeah, it is hard enough to find 25 major league ball players to put on a roster, let alone 40.

Seriously attendance threads are the Jay Mariotti of threads. Everyone knows what they are about, and we have done this same topic about 80 gagillion times. If a board has three topics about attendance, it means they aren't smart enough to find other stuff to talk about. I sure as hell wouldn't hold that up as some sort of a thing to be proud of. It sure as s*** doesn't pass merit for someone to look down their nose at rest of the fans and give judgement as to what they deserve or don't deserve, that is unless you are ready for judgement to be passed right back.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 09:06 AM) It's only relevant to us because Hahn could include a spot on the 40 man roster as an incentive for him to take less money and allow us to possibly sign Montes de Oca. If MDO isn't interesting in signing, even at a half a million, then I guess it really doesn't matter if we sign Rodon for slot or 6 million, considering we already have all our other other important picks signed. Exactly.

Every day that Rodon doesn't sign, pisses away the small chance that he could pitch for Chicago this year.

QUOTE (The Mighty Mite @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 08:35 AM) 20,000 to watch Sale go up against Scherzer. Piss poor. Something is seriously wrong up there, a big market team and we are averaging 19,000+ a game. 28th in MLB in attendance. We have a nice team with a great new star in Abreu and one of the best pitchers in MLB, the team does not give up and deserves some support. Right now if I owned the Sox and the stadium contract was up I would move this team to somewhere were it would be appreciated. Chicago does not deserve the White Sox. I want all of you to know that I'm a 68 year old die hard White Sox fan who has lived and died with this team since 1953, I still get up in the middle of the night and check the Sox score on my I Phone and for me the to say this is sacreligious. I know the Sox have addressed some of the pricing issues but Sox fans seem like they have just lost interest in the team. I have lived in Florida for over 20 years but I supported the team the 48 years I lived up there and would still do so, every year when the Sox come to Tampa you will see me at the Trop. I worked evenings when we lived up there but always tried to make one game every home stand. I also belong to another Sox Board and there were 3 threads about last nights game. That's sad coming from a membership of 8,000. Sox fans are bandwagon fans. If you have been a Sox fan, you should know this by now, having living through the lean years of the 70's. Also, who made you judge of who deserves a baseball team or not from your throne in Florida?

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 23m What are teams batting against Chris Sale in the 1st inning this year? .000. They're 0 for 27 with 12 K's. #WhiteSox

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 05:28 PM) IMO he's fielded very well for us and he's looked pretty good at the dish at times, too. Before ADA heated up, he deserved a shot to take his place We are talking about Moises Sierra, right? The same guy who hasn't met a cut off man or straight line route that he ever liked? The same guy sporting a fat .638 OPS with the Sox? The one with a negative WAR, oWAR, and dWAR?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 04:47 PM) Just so we can get it in here too I wouldn't listen to him, that guy is an idiot.

http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/201..._medium=twitter Michael Wallace @WallaceNBA_ESPN Chris Bosh tells Miami Herald's Barry Jackson he, LeBron and Wade have never discussed bringing in Carmelo. "It's very, very unlikely." • LeBon, Wade and Bosh would each have to leave more than $6 million a year on the table, ‘Melo more than $9 from his max. All may be willing to take a little less, but that’s not a little (we will have more coming later on the financing of this idea).

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 01:56 PM) Stupid trivia question on the Sox FB page: Eight Sox players are rooting for six different teams in the World Cup. 2 each for Brazil and Colombia, and one each for France, Mexico, Argentina, and the US. Now Rienzo-Brazil and Quintana-Columbia are obvious. I'm guessing Guerra-Mexico even though he is from Texas. There are a bunch of Sox players from the US and I don't know any of them to be big soccer fans in particular. I'm totally stumped on France and Argentina. https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/4771...0012160/photo/1

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 03:32 PM) Thats probably true. Hahn probably cost the org some $$ saying that Rodon was the best pitching prospect on TV. Honestly, there isn't any extra money to be found. Either he takes what we can offer, or he goes back to NCSt

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 02:11 PM) Beckham isn't even on pace to be a 3 WAR player this year. He is at 1.1, and on pace for around 2.5, which is what he did in his rookie year. That number is also skewed by missing a month of the season.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 02:26 PM) Jake Jarvis signed at slot ($141,300) per BA. That is great news. Seeing as Ziznewski will be WAY under slot for sure, and Clark has no reason to be over slot, we are still looking at a savings of about $400k for either Rodon or De Oca.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 02:09 PM) He's replacing Gorkys Hernandez, who was released by Charlotte yesterday. QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 02:09 PM) Gorkys Hernandez was released the other day. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 02:10 PM) could have sworn i read on twitter this morning that Gorkys Hernandez was released QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 02:11 PM) hey everyone, Gorkys Hernandez was released. FYI QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 02:24 PM) Gorkys Hernandez is the only player in recorded baseball history to play under the name "Gorkys." When you type that into B-R it takes you directly to his page because from there, there is nowhere else to go. There is only one Gorkys and he like his Porkys. And forkys. Also Corky Miller. But not wite. QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 02:39 PM) If you didnt already hear, Gorkys Hernandez was released the other day QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 02:46 PM) That's fine, Gorkys can go lorkys himself. So are the White Sox going to make a roster move, or what?
