This team is comprised of low obp guys and now have no power outside of frazier. Until they realize this and that abreu is a terrible defensive player this is what we get.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 11:07 PM) The Sox have one of the best pitching staffs in the MLB with the way Gonzalez is pitching with the rest of the starters...it really sucks that the position players just screw them over all the time. Today it's offensively and defensively...usually not one to bring negativity but seriously. Play like winners. Lingering organizational philosophy that disregards obp

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 11:01 PM) Such a terrible defensive player. Shame on the Sox for not putting him at DH They can't comprehend defensive. Laroche should have been at first last year. How saladino is not at third and Frazier at first is mind numbing.

I still cannot grasp why garcia is the dh over saladino.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 10:53 PM) Boston, Toronto and Houston have so much more talent. If all these scores hold, you couldn't ask for a more disappointing night Scoreboard watching is pointless. There is no sustained offense and no power making it impossible to string victories together. Earlier in the season the pen carried them. Navarro and Abreu are an embarrassment.

My God this team is unwatchable. 20 innings without a run. They are nowhere close to being in contention. This is one of those 10 games 12 runs scored totals.

Picking right up where they left off Sunday....really sad

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 07:50 AM) Exactly. They are almost going "all in". With the calling up of the two top prospects, eating Danks' contract, DFAing cheap vets like Rollins and Latos without a second thought, Shields trade. They are trying every thing they can to win this year. Yet they are continuing to run Avi out there when he would be better served trying to learn how to play in AAA

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 07:37 AM) Tell me where I said the Cubs don't want home field. I'll wait. NL lost, fine. Take the extra bat. In fairness, the Cubs could offer a pretty large handful of MLB ready prospects. Wilson Contreras was a prospect back then. The Angels weren't likely to move him anyway. History has been horrible for teams that trade HOFers. Baseball is the only sport that literally gives a tangible advantage to the home team.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 09:32 AM) If Sale weren't starting, I would want him to do the same thing. Unlike the Sox, the game actually means something for the cubs.

So if Arrieta does not start he is taking his ball and going home.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 12:17 AM) Then my grade school, Queen of Martrys is probably all white. yes but the mt greenwood public school is really good now and there is a chance QOM school will be closed as their enrollment is way down.

Sale could have set the tone instead he s*** all over himself.

Just two wasted opportunities this weekend.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) Still in this game somehow. Nice location there 11 innings of shut out ball from.brave pitching. There was a chance to be 5 back at the break....Friday sale sucked and today offense sucks. Indians may make it 8 back. As they are coming back. This is now a mirror of last season. Will hang around. 500 for rest of year without being able to string anything together.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 02:35 PM) Hahn deserves so much blame for this. Came into the season with no insurance in case Avi tanked. His catchers, dh, ss, and 4th and 5th starters on opening day are all a disaster.

How this team can still roll out garcia at DH is embarassing.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 12:04 PM) This is something I 100% agree with you on. Saladino is better than Avi in all aspects of the game. Absolutely no reason for Avi to continue to get regular playing time. Hopefully the Avi expiriment ends as soon S Morneau is called up. It should have ended a month ago. Really sad he gets endless opportunities. The saladino 3b, Frazier 1b abreu dh should be used.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 10:57 PM) I had no idea it was 30 percent now. My bad. That's cool. I wonder how many African Americans are in Mt. Greenwood now. That's cool if there are a ton in the neighborhood. THere were a lot of racists in Mt. Greenwood when I lived there. Mt greenwood is still the same.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 05:24 PM) Brother Rice I think we had maybe less than five total black students when I was there. All recruited athletes I think. I truly am colorblind. Believe it. When did you go there, the 1950's? In the 80's when I went it was 30% black while Marist and Laurence were 0%. It dropped a little in the 90's when they had some issues with race but never below 10% and now it is back up to 30%. Do you just sit and make things up?

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 09:19 AM) What happened? Braves hit two cubs in 8th and gave up the lead because of it. After Braves tied it in the 9th. Rodon threw in on francouer who was miffed and contrearas got into it with him and benches cleared. Contrearas got the go ahead hit in the 8th when the cubs scored three to take the lead. White Sox fans would call it one of the worst losses of the the year.

As will I......should be a good weekend at Comiskey.....let's hope the White Sox cooperate.

The cubs right now are where the White Sox were when they went into KC when they were struggling and the White Sox bullpen made the slide greater and pushed further downhill which after a couple more series pushed the Sox out of the playoff picture. A sweep in Pittsburgh and the cubs now have to be thinking a lot more about things then they were a few weeks back. There really is still no issue with their playoff scene but a sweep and eyebrows will be raised...the central division is terrible though.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) Man you are on some crazy pills when it comes to the Bulls my friend. Rondo and wade certainly make the bulls a better viewing.......bring AD home next year.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) There was double the interest in the Sox 9-0 loss yesterday. These threads are an outlet to vent frustration. Winning is the entertainment itself.
