Al Lopez's Ghost

Whose turn is it to say they feel like something may happen soon?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 19, 2017 -> 09:27 PM) Source? Saw a tweet from Ken Rosenthal that was retweeted by everything.whitesox, but now I'm not sure the Rosenthal tweet was genuine. It was not genuine, so it's bogus. Apologies.

Being reported that a follow up exam shows he needs TJ surgery.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 17, 2017 -> 10:14 PM) Hawk should have left years ago. Completely agree.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Mar 17, 2017 -> 03:13 PM) Tyler Saladino reminds me of a young Joe Crede Not that young. He'll be 28 this summer.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Mar 15, 2017 -> 05:05 PM) I just jumped in this thread and I see the epic stupidity of "will the sox move? And where?" All over it. Anyone who thinks that they are leavin this market has serious head trauma or an idiot. Maybe both.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 12:07 AM) This thread is a perfect example of why the mods have to be concerned about the tone of this board this season. It seems to me every thread is going to turn into a "good, now we can move this guy" if a player does well; a player such as Saladino. There will be very annoying game threads with the posters wanting us to lose every game. Far be it from me to tell u how to run a message board. I know people get sick of me repeating themes such as Hillary sucks, Bernie baby, I want to win every game, the draftniks are ridiculous, etc. But Saladino is a very very very good hitter and I think a big leaguer. So if he makes the team and does well every thread is gonna be, "GOOD NOW WE CAN MOVE HIM." I implore the rebuildniks to calm down and re-assess their posts. Is this board really going to be calling for Frazier to be traded every time he hits a home run rather than celebrating the home run and possible victory? Me says YES. Don't like it. At minimum that's two too many "very".

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 03:16 PM) In this season for the White Sox, what's the difference with him rehabbing in AAA or just playing in the majors? I don't really care either way but I don't see too much of a difference. It seems to me that rehabbing in the minors involves a lot less stress than playing hurt in the majors. In the bigs a player may re injure or aggravate an injury going all out.

Has anyone heard/seen how Robertson is throwing?

I believe he struck Goldschmidt out twice.

If God drops everything.

Ozzie quit on the Sox for money. Let him buy his own goddamn jersey and retire it where the sun don't shine.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 10:41 AM) I never said Sale was more deserving because of talent. I simply said he is more talented. Obviously there are other requirements that are in Buehrle's favor that work against Sale. Here's some more interesting questions: Will Buehrle be a Hall of Famer? If Sale makes it one day, will he wear a White Sox hat on the plaque? Red Sox

Bryan Ward also wore #56, so he'll be excited.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 19, 2017 -> 11:36 AM) From Scott Merkin: Who's next on the CF depth chart? Liriano? Leury Garcia fighting a smile.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Feb 18, 2017 -> 04:24 PM) He definitely had some Ty Cobb in him. The irony here is off the charts.

Saw video via a twitter link yesterday. Swihart is having difficulty throwing the ball back to the pitcher.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 11:06 AM) Scot Gregor ‏@scotgregor 45m45 minutes ago James Shilelds: I have nothing. Fixed.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 10:53 AM) I think it'll be fun to watch games this year... if they lose, cool! If someone like Davidson blows chunks - oh well... if he does great, cool! Rooting for players who are trade candidates will be a thing and following all the affiliates will be intense. Following the international signing period, the draft, other teams top prospects performances, monitoring trade partners standings... it'll be a much different type of fandom but it'll be lit. This absolutely describes my attitude about the right way to root for the Sox this year.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Feb 12, 2017 -> 06:59 PM) Vegas has us at 73.5 wins.. very far from san diegos 64 wins 73.5 with Q

QUOTE (oldsox @ Feb 12, 2017 -> 02:05 PM) Wo is AJ? 26 year old Blue Jays minor league catcher. Hasn't hit much. I'm guessing a good receiver?

HR is a moron.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 11, 2017 -> 09:19 AM) The guy who set a record for plate appearances and having 0 RBI. How do you make 141 plate appearances in a season and not get 1 RBI? If we're gonna tank, we'll need a guy not to drive in runs.

Explains the Kevan Smith move. Coincidentally, today's Fangraph article says Wieters is just ok. However just ok is a hell of an improvement over last year.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 10, 2017 -> 02:54 PM) Sorry I didn't tell ya guys but the Sox are putting me on the 40 with an invite to ML camp this spring That would be subtraction by addition.
