Dick Allen

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:44 PM) The Sox would not be in first if they had not traded for Youk, but man has he sucked for a while now. He's worn down. Supposedly playing 3B kills him physically. I wouldn't be surprised if he's back in Boston next year. 1B is now open again over there.

Dissappointing, but still within reach. I hope they leave this guy in another inning.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:42 PM) Allen for Cleveland is a STUD. Don't want to see that dude. They have a lot of good relievers, yet the team still sucks.

Tying run at the plate.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) Wait. back to back touchdowns. Quick strikes by our potent offense. Touchdown by the Tank Viciedo. Now 4-2. Offensive coordinator must have seen something in the clips. Making some nice halftime adjustments.

southsideirish71 won't be posting until something bad happens.

This game is over.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:20 PM) Yeah and I'd imagine you frequently have to abandon the scouting report based on whatever pitch Liriano can throw for a strike at that moment. Pitch selection yes, as for location, just throw that out the window when he's on the mound.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:17 PM) Whoever the White Sox advanced scout is, they are not very good at their job. You know one thing, if the scouting report says throw the ball away to someone, Liriano is one guy who will be able to execute it better than anyone. He puts it right where he wants it every pitch.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) RV's obsession with matchups started Liriano today and continues to kill us. Ventura's been terrible. He has a team that was supposed to lose 95 games, who has a roster according to this website where 90% of the players absolutely suck and has them in first place. He's stealing money. He should resign.

What's the score 8-0?

If you really need a k Lillibridge and his Adam Dunn strikeout rate is ideal.

I wonder if Liriano has any clue as to how much more money he could make if he could throw more pitches at least close to being strikes.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 01:55 PM) Okay Guillen needs to stop with the random calls to rid our bases of runners by having them run into outs. Would have been a DP anyway.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 09:27 AM) you guys are all crazy for throwing the OP under the bus. the nationals straight up shut down Strasburg for the season AND postseason. I don't think it's wild to suggest we do the same. Kill a kid's arm and risk the future of the team just because we "might" get to the 1st or second round of the playoffs? I dunno. I think it's at least worth discussing, not flaming the OP about. The situations are totally different. Strasburg would not be shut down right now if he didn't have TJ surgery.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 10:27 AM) I love listening to Joe Buck, McCarver however is turrible (imo). He gets a lot of crap, but I like Buck as well. For a White Sox game, though, I'd rather listen to Hawk.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 10:24 AM) According to that article, 104 biased comments by Hawk/Stone in one broadcast. Second place was like 23-24. I think this is great and Hawk/Stone should get an award/trophy from the White Sox organization for this. Nobody even close in the bias department. Ask yourself who are watching the WHITE SOX games...duh WHITE SOX fans. Thus, bias is good. lol. Sure you get some fan of other teams who get the broadcast through mlb or watch highlights. But..who cares about them. lol. Exactly. What is the advantage of a neutral broadcast that is being watched by 95 % White Sox fans?

QUOTE (KG#1 @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 10:22 AM) Yea, or hearing Chris Berman in '05 against the Red Sox - "Oh no!" Although that was more them being homers for the Red Sox than being "professionals". People complained Joe Buck wasn't excited enough when the White Sox won the WS.

QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 10:12 AM) Why? It makes sense. People who say "Hawk is great because he's just like one of us!" are missing the point, because some people don't want a professional broadcaster to be "just like us." They went him to be a professional broadcaster. I don't buy it. If you read the gamethreads, there are a few people on there that think they know way more than any broadcaster, player, manager, coach, GM or owner ever will. There is absolutely no one alive except themselves who could get their approval as competent in any of those jobs. A couple of them just post when things are going bad. Once something good happens, like Dunn going deep last night, they scatter like cockroaches.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 11:38 PM) My friend showed me a poll today where most of America is still picking the Tigers. Adam Dunn said "kiss my ass" in response. Most of Soxtalk is still picking the Tigers.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 09:52 PM) Wonder why he brought in Veal instead of keeping Thornton in there? If Cleves had used a righty pinch hitter, Reed was ready right? What is Choo lifetime vs. Thornton? I have no idea but I am thinking that is what it was.

Maybe that will get the bats going. The pitching has been pretty good even during the losing streak.

QUOTE (Real @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 09:43 PM) lol the only reason you'd bring in a lefty to replace a lefty is when you're basically telling the guy on the mound "bro, sorry. I don't trust you right here" unless it's a loogy but Veal IMO is better than a f***ing loogy At Charlotte Veal was actually better vs righties. It could be Choo has damaged Thornton before.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 09:41 PM) Bad Matt Thornton strikes again. Can never manage to pitch out of an inning without at least 2 baserunners reaching. Don't let facts get in the way of your BS

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) There's one problem. If Addison Reed can't be trusted to get the bottom 3 of the Indians' order with a 2 run lead, we have no closer. The Sox are about to win. Quit crying.
