White Sox never give up this year...even with more Detroit fans there for the second game. Sox averaging 21,000 per game through 18 official home dates, 28th, but still up from last year....Cincy, Miami and Cleveland all within striking distance....they should draw well Sunday (with good weather) and against the Red Sox, especially Memorial Day.

Not to have any of these 17 things happen (to whites, or white men specifically) amounts to what exactly, if NOT a form of privilege decreed simply by accident of birth? How should we describe it more/most accurately? https://www.buzzfeed.com/michaelblackmon/17...VlAd#.kskbnm5z8

Who taught Engel how to hit that way? Way too much hand movement to get to 95+ fastballs...just from initial position to hitting approach has so much time wasted.

Hayes grand salami, Asche homers, suddenly CHA leads in a heartbeat, 6-5 Moncada a double and triple in his last two ab's. Asche 9/22 since demotion, reached base all four times tonight, three hits and a walk....triple short of the cycle but probably won't hit again unless extras.

I think we left Miggy Cabrera off the HoF list...he's the closest to a sure thing. Obviously, David Ortiz will make it, despite the lingering PEDs whispered and supposedly failed test. Boston Strong!!! Curse out the terrorists, you're basically set for life.

QUOTE (ron883 @ May 27, 2017 -> 11:00 AM) I got the adam Engel call up correct. .500 bare minimum. Lets wait until the season is over before we make a judgement on Jose. Engel call? Some players are just a bit more integral to teams than others...

Two k's for Moncada...

The Detroit fans are pretty vocal this second game...Sox fans with very little to cheer for tonight. Most of the game, hitters couldn't pick up the ball well due to the twilight conditions. Engel's first major league hit on a hanging slider.

He's undoubtedly recruiting Cespedes, who's (in)famous for smoking during games or in the clubhouse...or golfing on game days. Davidson starting to heat up again...Farmer out of the game. 1st and 2nd, 1 out. Abreu should probably have read it better and gotten to 3rd. Oh, well. Holland lowered his ERA to 2.37. Trade value continues to creep up start by start. Greene doing his own Swarzak/Kahnle impression out of the pen. Failed starter. Ynoa one of the three Sox who recorded video greetings to Robert...they share the same trainer/buscone/agent in Edgar Cespedes.

Derek Holland enters Game 2 sitting 8th in MLB era... White Sox tied with Rays for second best run differential in AL, one behind the Red Sox, who are +25. Considering sweeps against LAA and AZ, that's crazy. Also the fewest home games in the AL by 3, 18 vs. 21 for CLE. Detroit has already had three 10 day road trips, Sox will have for in first three months.

http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/0/v1433399683...ial-first-pitch Robert first pitch to Abreu...btw, another big hit for Leury Garcia, belly flopped into 3rd. Lot of emotion on the mound from Swarzak and Tommy Kahnle is cool to see. Cody Asche is back and on the bench!!!!! The banner matters again.

First major league victory for Danish. Engel debuted as a PR and scored...will probably start Game 2. LUIS Robert intro/press conference. Crowd was really into this game, especially when Swarzak got Upton swinging with bases loaded in the 7th...and then Cabrera striking out late, too. Moncada turns 22 today, Frank Thomas 49.

Kanhle's striking out almost two batters per inning....37 in 20 ip.

Did Spencer do it in the postseason? Him, Kevin Maas and asanchez stand out for going on absolute hitting tears, Mattingly in the mid to late 80's before injuries derailed him.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2017 -> 12:58 PM) Kinda sad hearing him say he was depressed when he left the game He had the 2004 World Series ring at least....

Rob Fick and Jeff Weaver were jackasses, Juan Samuel too that day...late April.

56 pitches, 29 strikes, 3 k's lol in the inning and 4 total walks Bourjos .212 in 52 at bats, fwiw Avi drives a 95 mph heater on inside corner straight up the middle...Fulmer shocked.

Cabrera took wrong angle, should have cut back at angle instead of straight across. Wind got him. Danish needs to back up 3rd, too.

Don't forget the infamous woman with the lock in Berkeley...or was that a dude? Can't remember. http://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/05/24/ber...-lock-assaults/ Guy, Eric Clanton, the professor. Seemed like a woman was fighting, too. Moral equivalents, for sure. http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.s...ncart_big-photo Scary looking dude. He was saying that Muslims should die," said Dyjuana Hudson, a mother of one of the girls. "That they've been killing Christians for years." One of the girls was black, the other wearing a hijab.

Strikes 9, 15 balls, yet another walk. Yikes Cooper out. 10 walks, 18 balls....no runs somehow, miraculously. Castellanos 14/38 career with bases loaded. Had 3-1 count.

uh oh. 88-92 mph with FB, either pitch track is off or changeup at 87 isn't enough differential to get away with. Tentative after first hit. 77 change, 82 slider. Bailed out by huge dp after falling behind 3-1 to Cabrera, challenged him with a sinker inside. Another walk, wanted nothing to do with Martinez, Upton up now.

Crede, Hermanson and Jenks say hello...Jim Thome as well, on the back issues. Started to bother Konerko late in his career, too.

At least 2-3 weeks in the DSL until they take care of all the visa and tax issues. Renteria recruiting him in Spanish to win "championships" was very important. White Sox showed the most interest throughout the process...obviously tradition of Cuban Sox players was important as well. Really got the sense KW, JR and especially having Hector Santiago's brother and staff members to serve as interpreter/translator was really important with making him feel comfortable. Moncada is seemingly going to stay at second...and Robert in CF. talked about setting up future of team up the middle for years to come. Laser like focus and robust, two of Hahn's favorite terms, lol. Will buy House for family, uncle (also important in negotiations) and himself. Video was beautiful...really spoke to him, also had a PowerPoint presentation that Haber, Reifert worked on and front office assisted on the technical side. Despite "Robber" being traditional Spanish pronunciation, he seems to prefer Robert. Not sure if he will keep jersey #1 or not, as Buehrle's 56 will be retired soon (that's my own observation, lol).
