Didn't JB save a run tonight?

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) And you are too in love with ERA. But, have it your way. His last start he gave up 1 run over 6.2 innings to the Mets. You are right, runs allowed is not nearly as important as strikeouts. Junior Guerra is awesome and will remain so for years,

Melky was playing really deep there.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) a) those wins still count the same b) his best start of the season was arguably his 7.0 IP, 11K, 3BB, 3ER outing versus... the Cubs. so an ERA close to 4.00 in a game maybe his best start? You are too in love with strikeouts. You would have loved Javy Vazquez.

Gene LaMont looks like he might have ate too much for dinner,

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 08:45 PM) I said "could" and I'm not basing it solely on the stats, generally it's not good trading cost-controlled top 100 prospects. Plus only 4.2 of those innings are at AA. Btw Junior Guerra is still pitching extremely well for the Brewers. How 'bout that. Junior's ERA iisn't so great against teams that aren't going to lose 95 games this year.

Anderson has been better than advertised.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 08:41 PM) I know everyone loves the Frazier trade but I just checked out Montas's stats since coming back from injury for the Dodgers. Between AA and AAA: 16.0 IP, 22K, 3BB, 2.25 ERA. Could end up being 12 years of a quality OF and a no. 2 starter (plus Micah who has been bad) for 2 years of a quality 3B. It is always a good idea to judge a trade as quickly as possible, and base some of it on AA stats.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/06/rein...to-contend.html LOL What a joke. Why don't they do the fans a favor and quit trying to win.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 08:14 PM) Trade for him? Good idea. He meant get to Pelfrey obviously.

What type of clown puts Cabrera on to face Castellanos?

When is Coop going to fix somebody?

Sales ERA is near 7.00 his last 5 starts. Not DFAing him is so White Sox.

Last 22 games Sox starters have a 5.29 ERA

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 11:57 PM) The Sox have lost something like 9 series in a row. The team has lost some of the most bizarre ways in club history. The team has not hit, has not pitched in the five week stretch. It is not a stretch to conjecture Rollins has to be glad to be out of Chicago. False.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) Oh come on Russ, could you possibly pull together two more bizarre examples into one comparison? I'm not meaning to judge anyone. I'm pointing out how ridiculous it is to judge these guys' personal lives. Who knows what these guys do off the field. All we know is what they do on the field. I suppose if you are saying I am judgmental for encouraging others to not be judgmental, then...well I guess you got me there. If these guys play for a team you cheer for and want to do well, I don't think judging their personal lives is ridiculous. I'm sure I have been a big fan of some real jerks, but guys like Reyes, and Brett Myers when he was here, they are documented. We do know what they did off the field. Reyes sent his wife to the hospital in an ambulance. Braun cheated, got caught and blamed the collector calling him an anti semite, and a Cubs fan. The guy got death threats. If you choose to ignore it, that's fine. But to give any crap for not ignoring it is silly.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 02:13 PM) Oh who gives a s***? These guys aren't your friends. We are men, who cheer for other men in silly outfits to play a game against other men in silly outfits. You aren't endorsing their character or their behavior off the field by cheering for them to win a game. As my wife puts it, it is a bunch of uneducated men in silly costumes running around in dirt trying to hit a ball with a stick. That said, no to wife beaters. Braun has some terrible character flaw himself besides being in his mid 30s with a bad back and balky wrist.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) Charges were dropped though ... so innocent? Listen, I don't like what he did. Nobody does. But he's going to sign somewhere. I don't necessarily mind if it's with the Sox. Does he upgrade the team? Maybe. As long as the Sox can go ahead and talk to his future teammates and ask if they are okay with the move, then I am okay with the move. Also, anything is better than Carl Crawford. Charges dropped because she wouldn't cooperate most likely. Treated on the scene, taken to the hospital. This guy is garbage.

Let wifebeaters play for other teams.

Coop will fix him

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 07:28 PM) I'd bet the directive came from above him to bat TA leadoff. Didn't you call him a clown for doing this yesterday?

Nice job Jose

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 06:41 PM) It's just a pet peeve. I've seen more people spell his name incorrectly than the right way. It isn't that hard. Be careful criticizing spelling. A few years ago, someone got me on misspelling something, and in their post, spelled a couple of words incorrectly,

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 05:21 PM) How stupid do people have to be to continually spell Jordan Zimmermann's name with only one "N"? Reelly stupid peepal.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 08:08 AM) Wiggins and the 5th pick and the deal is done. If you don't get Wiggins, I'm not making this deal. By the way, there is no way the Wolves are going to give up the #5 & Wiggins without intense pressure from another team (i.e,. Boston offering the #3, Brooklyn's unprotected pick in next years draft, and like Crowder or Olynk (or however the hell you spell it). I don't think Bulls would turn down either of those deals and to be frank, those are the only type of deals I'm going to make if I were in the Bulls shoes (and I put odds on either team offering up that as relatively low). My preference would be on the Wiggins and the 5th (but I still don't see a lot of reasons why Twolves would do it). Basically unless a huge bidding war breaks out over Butler, I think he stays with the Bulls. The real question is what happens with DRose, imo. I still think he goes somewhere for a late 1st. I don't expect Durant to leave OKC which is what could actually put the Bulls in an interesting spot (regarding Butler) as he'd be the best, potentially on the block asset in the league. My big problem is I don't want Hoiberg around and I don't like Gar. If we had a better coach, I'd be more comfortable moving Butler, but than again, if we had a better coach, I honestly don't think we are talking about moving Butler and instead are talking about moving Rose and finding a good point guard and other young talent to surround around Buckets. So kind of a who knows. I do think Rose needs to leave Chicago and he'll probably get better being another year removed from injuries, etc, but he clearly is too soft of a player and since he isn't a great passer and isn't a great outside shooter, his style isn't going to work that well in this current NBA regime unless he really wants to play aggressive and attack. I know it's unscientific, but I found it interesting, in April I went into the Sports Depot at USCF. I checked out the sales racks. They have jerseys of ex players Flowers, Shark, etc. then they had some Danks jerseys. Sure enough, a week or so later, he gone. The only Bulls jersey they have on the sale rack is DRose.
