I would like to see a new PBP guy and Hawk be the color guy when Stone takes his time off which seems to be happening more and more.

Anyone listening to 560 this morning in Chicago? I only heard the end of it but it sounded as though Amy Jacobson seemed to blame Donald Trump and his attempt to call out the media bias for this. I don't think I want to see the footage.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 02:10 PM) A good number of my friends are Cubs fans, and for the most part they are just that - Cubs fans, not Sox haters. So, for them, Im not unhappy if the Cubs have success. But, man, is the media annoying. For comparison, the Sox were 71-55 in 2012 on this date, and I don't remember guys in the media doing quite as much cheerleading. I think that is what gets me, not really their success but the over the top cheerleading that transpires with them.

Jerry dybzynski cost the white sox the 83 title

Imagine if the Astros were still in the NL Central, the cubs road would be much tougher over the next few years. The NL is atrocious.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 11:39 PM) As does the GM and manager. Everyone outside of pitching in the organization. Do the white sox even employ an advanced scout......most like someone who played in the 80's like mike squires.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 11:11 PM) I see no way Ventura should be brought back. The team predictably folded after that Boston series. If he wants to come back he will be brought back. Buddy bell and Vince Coleman still have their jobs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 11:30 PM) I have no problem with the team losing every game going forward if it's like the game on Monday was I have nothing to add other than this team sucks.

The firing of Theo looks like as bad a move

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 03:42 PM) Really it's his defense that is really punishing Garcia and the team right now. They'll have to figure that one out at some point. I think his base running is what kills him along with bad defense.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) Aw hell, someone said it, now the NL is a lock for the WS win again. Winning the WS does not make the NL better, nor does winning the all-star game. Other than Boston, the other three worst teams (Oakland, Seattle, Cleveland) in the AL have a Cy young candidate that they can run out there on occasion and have talent. The Rockies staff is horrible, the Brewers suck, the Reds suck, the Marlins until Fernandez and Stanton get back to 100% suck , Arizona, Philly and Atlanta suck. The Cardinals are the toast of baseball and they are nothing all that specail. The talent disparity between the AL and NL right now is massive and the cub will benefit greatly from this.

The Hawk rant was a slam to the coaching staff and team attitude. While it may not have been intentional it goes to the point that there is talent there and the failing of the team is baseball IQ and coaching. I am not a Hawk fan and the cub broadcast is better but Len Kasper feels the need to push every advanced metric he can into the broadcast. As a fan I do not need advanced metrics to know what is happening. WAR, fWAR and FIP, ERA+ etc do not mean anything to me. I am a professional, understand numbers very well and love baseball. OBP, HR, WHIP and ERA are all I need to understand the game and who sucks and how much they suck. I can see with my eyes guys that cannot field, guys that can, and guys that will not hurt nor help you in the field. I dod not need zome rating and that bulls***. I do not need Fangraphs and Baseball Prospectus. What I need is a nice broadcast something between Len and Hawk, and the best stat of all TWTW. The putrid baseball IQ of the White Sox is more of an issue with me than the Hawkeroo. Go You White SOX!

The score is bordering on unlistenable. You would think the white sox are 20 games under. Why the topic of hawk harrelson is such an issue with them is beyond almost seems like a crusade.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 02:26 PM) Weren't the Nats the greatest collection of young talent ever put together, and they would dominate the game 18 months ago? What happened? Simple, they failed to retain the services of Adam LaRoche The National League is god awful.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 06:35 PM) [/b] The subject of one of all time favorite long running Soxtalk debates. Aaron Miles versus Juan Uribe. Wasn't it Aaron Miles v bobby Hill?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 02:53 PM) Wow, that's desperate Rongey. One team has a 4.5 game lead in the WC race, the other one is 4.5 games back, behind 6 teams. That is the truth and it was a big issue earlier in the year when Lester was struggling and imagine it being a one game playoff and that becomes an issue.

Second greatest play after Derek Jeter's Daryl Boston's play in the late 80's tops both of them.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 12:03 AM) Hawks announcing was awesome right before the double He was waiting for trout to throw out abreu.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 11:39 PM) Abreu sucks at 1st.................he is a DH plain and simple he has killed team tonight. I find it amazing earlier in the year laroche was not getting time. He is god awful.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 11:34 PM) He wasn't touching that low and away slider He hadn't thrown it for a strike every at bat was terrible one worse than the other. Ramirez and Sanchez swung at s*** pitches and the other two outs were b Baseball stupid is this teams mantra. Angels will get a few here and then one of the Latin hackers wil hit a worthless homer.

Pitchers oughta just roll the f***in ball up there. My god is this pitiful.

The lack of baseball IQ of this team is frightening.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 11:20 PM) IT'S A DUCK SNORT. NOT A f***ING KANSAS CITY SPECIAL. It is what good hitting teams do....the white sox continue to be baseball stupid. Look no further than abreus stupidity at first and Ramirez swinging at s*** in the dirt.

Abreu is a terrible fielder.

I think it is Shark to Toronto or Anaheim. Make them take LaRoche and it is for a garbage PTBNL. Robertson possible as well. Other than that a move is pointless and serves no purpose as the player coming back must clear waivers if the 40 man comes into play.
