QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 25, 2015 -> 06:30 PM) Two plays Alexei should have made if he was still his normal self. This Alexei however just sucks The second play even if he came up with it had no chance of throwing anyone out. No one would.

QUOTE (daggins @ May 25, 2015 -> 06:26 PM) so Noesi is DFA after this, right? He hasn't been good, but the Sox should be batting 0-0

Alexei hot dogging it cost 2 runs......so far

Swirk is giving a radio broadcast.

Damnit Alexei

The Swirsk called that one by Abreu a "smash". I like the Swirsk, but give me a break. If Swirsk still had his old radio show on Sunday nights on the Loop, he would give himself the buffoon of the week for that call.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 25, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) LOL - there are more posters agreeing with me than you, if you haven't noticed. As for substance, I've provided fact after fact after fact that, of course, there is a correlation between winning and attendance, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. You, on the other hand, have provided absolutely nothing to this discussion, except unnecessary sarcasm and a poorly formed opinion of the fan base based on, what? Conjecture? Certainly nothing verifiable, whatever it is. Not any more. Explain 2008 and 2012.

Released. The woman he assaulted was holding a baby.

Bryant's homer today landed in the front row with the wind blowing out.ESPN stats said in normal weather, Wrigley Field is the only park that is a home run. Its not who you play, but where you play em.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 25, 2015 -> 11:06 AM) Since Jerry Reinsdorf took over the club in 1981, of the other 25 non-expansion teams in existence since then, only four of those teams (Royals, Mariners, Brewers, & Nationals) have been to the postseason fewer times than the Sox. And of those four, one team, the Royals, have made a World Series appearance more often than the Sox. If this record of futility doesn't bother you, if you are fine buying a ticket and getting the kind of quality we just saw during this last home stand, and in 2014, 2013, 2011, all the way through most of Reinsdorf's 35 years at the helm, well then fine - have at it. Buy a full season ticket package and get out there to the park and cheer on the mediocrity. But please don't be so crass and condescending with your completely unnecessary "cyber pat" comments when some of us legitimately look at the record of achievement of the ball club and, on a fan message board, suggest it should be better. You are the one who says the White Sox have had 1 exciting season over the last 35, so postseason appearances that don't result in winning a WS would be considered total failure and an unexciting season. Yet you use postseason non WS win appearance as positives for other teams. It is too bad you have to wait until almost November to determine if a season was exciting or not. But since the last time the White Sox won the WS and had an exciting season according to your parameters, there are 24 teams that have had a just as worthless existance Baseball probably isn't for you.

His mom said he was a good boy. I am sure this is just another misunderstanding. This was beyond predictable, and as much as I hear embarrasing being overused in sports, this should be really emabrrassimg to the Bears. Pace shiuld be on notice. Fangio should be on notice, and George McCaskey needs to realize guys that beat and rape women generally don't stop as long as they have access to doing these things.

BTW at the Chicago Sports Depot at the park, they had those The straw that stirs the drink t shirts. They weren't the flourecent green the players have, they are yellow, and a bit pricey at $30.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) So much for the theory that Van Gundy was helping Thibs. It still might be. The Bulls obviously don't want to pay Thibs, if the teams he is willimg to be "traded" to dries up, or at least appears that way, the Bulls are left bringing him back, which would be actually very interesting, or paying him sit. I really don't know if a second round pick is worth $4.5 million which I think the Bulls owe him next season.

No Hawk this road trip. The Swirsk will be in the booth

Aviation is really limping

Coming into yesterday's game, LaRoche had a .443 OBP his last 18 games. Why is the target on him just getting bigger here?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 22, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) Did the White Sox begin the season in a fashion that demonstrated to anyone they were prepared to play...or even competitive? No, they got blown out by the Twins and Royals. And, as we ALL know, 1983 is the only season we've improved in the second half of a season and sustained it into the playoffs. And actually, those numbers were still a 25% improvement on similar dates last April and May. Progress! You do realize you were responding to your own quote I hope.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 23, 2015 -> 09:51 AM) Really? Tell me which of those numbers is incorrect? I didn't check the numbers, they mught be correct. But Wild Card? When?

As soon as the shadows hit the scoring came to a new end. Hopefully some clouds move in for the bottom of the 9th

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 23, 2015 -> 05:29 PM) Hicks robs Eaton of at least a double. At least a triple.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 23, 2015 -> 11:33 AM) And of course, he's 1/11 at the plate since he was pulled from the game Monday with 5 K's. And of course that is all because of his knee, yet he hurt his knee in Oakland and did fine on Sunday.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 23, 2015 -> 09:50 AM) If your leg is so sore you need to ask out of a game you shouldn't be playing in another 18 hours later. He didn't ask out but facts shouldn't come into play, as I am sure the front office and training staff told Robin he needed to sit, and he just ignored them.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 23, 2015 -> 09:54 AM) FWIW, this stadium is approaching 25 years old. That puts it in the 10 oldest ballparks in the league, plus a lot of the older ones (Fenway, Wrigley, Angels, Kaufmann) have undergone major makeovers. If you drop those out since they kind of became new-ish stadiums, only really Dodgers Stadium, the Oakland Coliseum, Rogers Center, and Tropicana field are genuinely older. It has also been almost totally renovated in the last 12 years. The Sox also have a lease they would be foolish to try to break, and the are making money. So they really aren't goimg anywhere for a while.

QUOTE (glangon @ May 23, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) Retiral is a word, it's in the Oxford English Dictionary and its roots are Scottish, which is where I'm from. If you guys can miss out the U in colour, then I can use retiral. Do you wear a kilt? I ran into some Scottish guys at a bar a few years ago and they were in kilts. We asked them a lot of questions. They were hysterical.
