Abreu hurt? Flowers at 1b? This should be interesting.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 29, 2015 -> 08:53 PM) Hate to say I told u so, but Beckham HAS to be in this starting lineup! Beckham is so much better than the hitless wonders we've had at 2B. Congrats on the deep blast! Tie game. Make him player/coach like Don Kessinger....with Paulie as the bench coach. Or Moises Sierra.

Flowers under the Mendoza Line now.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 29, 2015 -> 08:46 PM) It worked out but not exactly sure why Webb was out there in a 1-run game. He hasn't been good since 2013. Noesi was the other option?

Astros' announcers questioning Rodon being out there still but acknowledge there was a DH yesterday. Guess they wanted Conger to hit RH.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 29, 2015 -> 08:33 PM) The Royals are the best pen in baseball IMO. They also may be the best defensive team or one of the best. Statistically...would have to look more closely at the numbers. Neshek destroys us whether he's on the Twins...or the Astros. Is Daniel Webb actually the best option in the bullpen right now? That's scary. I realize they just played a DH, but...

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 29, 2015 -> 08:29 PM) Abreu has to give him a firm toss, not that loopy s***. I understand these guys are professionals, but is the coaching staff not at all accountable the lack of improvement? And if guys continue to not improve, why the f*** are we still playing hacks like Gillaspie and Abreu in the field? To quote the great Mike Singletary, you can't win with it. You could also quote greg. The Astros of course have the best bullpen in the NL, if not all of MLB.

Has there ever been a worse White Sox defense? I don't think so....unless it was one of those 1977-1980 teams. And they had Mike Squires and Chet Lemon at least.

The excuse will be Abreu and Rodon didn't work together enough on that play in spring training...because they wanted to rest Jose's legs and work on Rodon's change-up. Well, at least the error goes to Abreu.

Jesus....what else can go wrong this season with the defense? Why was Abreu waiting so long to throw it???

More errors. Dan Webb? Really?

any other replacements for Hoiberg in Ames besides Hornacek?

Flowers will never have an easier sequence of fastballs to hit. Career average with bases loaded sinking towards .100 somehow.

QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ May 29, 2015 -> 07:31 PM) Hard to tell which was the worst part of that play--Conor's 'fielding' or Melky's throw. Both were terrible. It's amazing he is one of the twenty worst players in baseball despite hitting .301 against RHP. He did cut down Altuve and Marisnick robbed him in the first. Oh, and forgot the passed ball on Flowers. Well, nothing new to see here. Lots of bad hitting with risp and K's.

Comedy of errors. Home scoring decision should be changed in NYC. Feel sorry for Rodon.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 29, 2015 -> 05:30 PM) The only reason Sox have any decent minor leaguers now is slotted picks. If that would not of changed Sox would still be last in spending and ranked 30th. If not for that Rodon would never of been drafted, but someone Sox could of got at #3 they could sign cheap. Except Borchard and Viciedo were both record-setting bonuses for collegiate and LA under 23 at the time of their deals.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 29, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) there are just some movies that are just plain brain dead movies and the only value it has is entertainment. that is i grade the movies. that is 1 category. No, that's Sharknado 1/2 and Piranha 3D.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 29, 2015 -> 03:16 PM) Tidal wave scene in NYC is pretty cool though. The Day After Tomorrow is another one to add to the TNT marathon. If nothing else, for sheer shock value to see how Emmy Rossum's changed so much from that point and Phantom of the Opera to current day. Plus you have helicopters with rotor blades freezing...rabid Russian dogs on container ships..and the scene where they have to let the father die (cutting the rope) when they break the glass while unknowingly walking on top of a NJ mall. And you can never root against Dennis Quaid. He's doggedly persistent in that one. The best one is in 2012 where the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy wipes out Danny Glover's White House.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 29, 2015 -> 03:05 PM) Deep Impact is so cheesy. More dramatic than over the top action. Tea Leoni is just so hard to watch act...that movie has too many contrived personal narratives that attempt to make you care about their imminent doom (like the beach scene with her father) which lead to just get on with the megadestruction, will you? Armaggedon has the Bayness about it...so that you can watch it over and over again. (Somehow it helps if you imagine Borat singing the national anthem of Kazakhstan in the background, America always shows up in the white hat to save the day...and there has to be a cool theme song, a hot girl, at least one scene with the whole gang walking in stride towards the camera with the concrete shimmering and flags unfurling and kissing wives or gfs goodbye.) Plus Con-Air has Vanessa Marcil in one of her few movie appearances.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 29, 2015 -> 02:58 PM) Exactly. It seems that some people want an autocratic last century management philosophy. That hasn't been the best practice for decades. Just like an equal number believe the latest Ivy League quant/stat geek/sabes guy can magically turn their franchise (or mutual fund) around...

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 29, 2015 -> 09:31 AM) Baseball is a different sport with a different type of intensity required. You can't drive baseball players that way over a 162 game season and expect results. Thibs has proved that you can't do it for a basketball season without the players falling apart or being drained and watching the other teams with more energy beat you. And yet Ozzie was always blamed for his Sunday line-ups. The irony is that he actually utilized his bench extremely well...and it paid off handsomely quite often. Ventura hasn't had the same level of bench talent to utilize, so it's harder to make comparisons. I do wonder if they have warned him about playing Alexei too often...of course, once again, with options like Leury Garcia or Olmedo, you can understand the hesitancy.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 29, 2015 -> 08:16 AM) Where did this garbage come from The yahoo.com responses under that earlier article. They even had other posters copying "Reinsdork" as if that was an original one.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 29, 2015 -> 08:17 AM) Bit of a difference between robin and thibs. Thibs was actually a winning coach, Robin is not. Sox go out of their way to support Robin, Bulls wen tout of their way to publicly undermine their coach mid-season... Firing Robin would actually be a normal thing to do. That's what is so hard to understand. Did they promise him four or five years regardless of the results on the field?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 29, 2015 -> 07:45 AM) Singles was pretty good with a great soundtrack. Obviously his best work was as the writer for Fast Times at Ridgemont High Yeah, I simply destroyed that cassette and The Cult's Electric by playing them too much on the cheap car stereo in 1993.

Gar Formen is Johnny Jump Shot two best friend, "Neal and Bob". This CS couldn't put a winning 10yo YMCA together. This Fgot needs to go. Paxson is about 5 years past his experation date. He's living off game 5 vs. the Lakers and game 6 versus the Suns. If he missed those shots, he'd be selling insurance. Old man Reinsdork is incorridgable. Look how long he kept Crumbs Krause around. He let that phat azz blow up the Bulls and sent them to the dark ages for ten years. Word gets out. This franchise is dysfuntional top to botton. No free agents will come here. Here comes about 7 years of 20-62 records. They all can G.F.T. Go Bulls....and take the White Sux with you! That was an entertaining rant worthy of the Rongey post-game show.
