QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 15, 2014 -> 02:13 PM) I said if he can stay healthy I'll like it. But with his style and what we've seen so far that doesn't look good. On the flip side Santiago isn't doing any better but I do believe he would have developed differently here. Regardless what he does my like or dislike for it depends on what Eaton will do. I would bet money that Santiago was the one who was traded because the White Sox (and most specifically Don Cooper) didn't think the guy was going to be able to be a good starting pitcher on a season to season basis. There was something there they didn't jive with, which is why they dealt him when they got the chance. Whether it was high pitch counts, not pounding the zone enough, who knows. It is just me speculating based on his handling.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 15, 2014 -> 12:24 PM) I don't remember people ever complaining that the neighborhood around Chicago Stadium & the UC was too bad for people to attend games. The UC is STILL a worse neighborhood than USCF is. It really isn't even close.

I predict great sales on the peninsula. http://time.com/99375/kim-jong-un-video-game/

Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler 1h 22 teams have an OPS under .700 from their LF or RF spots this season. Yeah, there's a few teams that would like to have Alfredo Despaigne.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 5m Jose Abreu has shed about 15 pounds since beginning of season. Down a pant size, conditioning coach Allen Thomas said. He's still a big man.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 15, 2014 -> 11:40 AM) Soxtalk road trip to Charlotte, who's in? Depends, what color are the seats in the new stadium?

Josh Feldman ‏@BigTexJosh 31m Tonight’s @Intimidators SP James Dykstra’s 5.09 GO/AO leads @MiLB. Former Intimidator & @KnightsBaseball’s Charlie Leesman ranks 2nd (4.00).

Seth Lakso ‏@SethLakso 17m @KnightsBaseball C Josh Phegley is seeing the ball as well as anyone. had 2 doubles last night and has 4 home runs in his last 7 games.

HS pitcher throws 194 pitches in a 14 inning game. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10935698...ches-14-innings

Abreu is a really big dude. Even standing next to Viciedo he looks huge, and Dayan isn't small guy. https://twitter.com/NietoJr17/status/466861...5328256/photo/1

This is the one guy the Sox have been linked to. Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler 36m Huascar Ynoa will pitch in an IPL showcase game today in front of hundreds of scouts. One of the top July 2 pitchers: http://bit.ly/1sJ0Yhz

Chris De Luca ‏@ChrisDeLuca 29m #Bears have agreed to terms with DT Will Sutton on a four-year contract and now have the entire 2014 Bears draft class under contract.

SportsCenter ‏@SportsCenter 17m BREAKING: Aaron Hernandez indicted for an additional double homicide in Boston in 2012, per @ABC & multiple reports.

The question becomes, if Hoffman is willing to take a major discount, would you be willing to draft him at #3? Keep in mind the Sox top pick slot value is just over $5.7 million, with a total bonus allotment of $9.5 million. Would a million dollar discount to slot do it? Two million? Or not for any discount?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 15, 2014 -> 09:25 AM) No big deal. Somebody will start another attendance thread next week. Are we not playing at home until next week?

QUOTE (bmags @ May 15, 2014 -> 09:20 AM) It's going to be a fun final four teams at this point. I'm really hoping for an Original Six final, best of all would be Montreal and the Hawks.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 15, 2014 -> 08:49 AM) Cleto hit 100 on the gun last night. Source says Thaddius Lowry is the guy who will take Danish's spot in the Kanny rotation. I thought it might be Brennan, who should be back around now. Velocity is the last thing I want to see from Cleto. I want to see 94/95, because that means he might actually be trying to control the ball.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 15, 2014 -> 09:17 AM) What about a Bruin FROM Vancouver. Good call.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 15, 2014 -> 08:45 AM) Does anyone know what was with Gillaspie being one of the few players ever drafted then called up the same year? Was it just something in his contract to make sure he could always say he played in the bigs? How did that affect his pay? Kind of surprised it didn't set a precedent if it was contractual. Much like we did with Sale, it was an inducement to sign quickly.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 15, 2014 -> 08:49 AM) http://deadspin.com/milan-lucic-gets-heate...-gam-1576694532 I would have bet on a Canuck to f*** up the handshake line, but Bruin wouldn't have been a bad call.

In a nutshell, the end of that game was exactly why the NBA playoffs are the most annoying of any pro sport. That is just awful.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 14, 2014 -> 05:51 PM) I don't but I do hope he comes up at the Cell in a position where putting one in between his numbers would make a lot of sense. For a slide like that, high and tight wouldn't bother me at all.

QUOTE (59th street @ May 14, 2014 -> 05:59 PM) Very dirty play/slide by Donaldson based on the TV view. No one on the Sox seemed to say anything. Given the circumstances (2 out in bottom of 9th) it is maybe understandable, but it sure looked like a cheap shot that warranted at least a verbal response. On a more positive note Beckham has looked very good since his return, both with the glove and bat and DeAza with a very subtle heads up defensive play to save extra bases when Garcia lost a a ball in the sun/high sky in the 8th. This team is really fun to watch after last year. Go SOX ! They did on the radio. Farmer and DJ were both really fired up about it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 14, 2014 -> 05:06 PM) Hawk didn't even have time to make the call. What a blast Neither did Farmer.
