QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 23, 2015 -> 04:01 PM) Abreu and Sale not being dominant this year is killing us. And Quintana, Ramirez, Eaton and Shark going backwards, not to mention Flowers and Conor. Still, the biggest concerns to me are Cabrera, catching and 2b, along with Rodon's control/change-up. We might have to add Sale's hesitancy to throw the slider more often. And the 3b situation. And the entire pen after Robertson and Duke. LOL.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 23, 2015 -> 04:02 PM) when this offense starts to hit, it's going to be a fun summer. I feel like we've been hearing this every season since 2008. Still waiting.

May 3-0 career vs. Sox. Season (8) and career (10) highs in strikeouts against the Sox. 1). This lineup is truly 1986-87 terrible without Garcia. 2). The only humor today is from Paulie and the fact that some of his giveaway statues are missing appendages...leading to jokes about those alterations not affecting his speed much..."had 150 extra career doubles that were turned into singles by lack of speed...should have had 600"

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 23, 2015 -> 03:51 PM) Cabrera swings at a terrible pitch and weakly grounds out. Pathetic now the shadows our hitless wonders. Sanchez missed three changeups in a row, somehow. Not the best pitch to throw with delayed reactions due to the encroaching shadows.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 23, 2015 -> 03:46 PM) It's a miracle that we've scored three runs with this lineup. If the Sox can hang around for another month or so, Hahn better find an upgrade at C or 3B. Gillaspie already has seven errors. That's a ton for any 3b one-quarter of the way into the season. You need to hit at least 800-825 to keep your position there if you can't defend very well.

Sanchez and Cabrera killing the line-up right now.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 23, 2015 -> 03:38 PM) The local affiliate airing the game out of Des Moines is doing a nice job of making sure they air commercials that say "Go Cubs" Better than thanks for the memories, Mayor. Does anyone know why Sale's slider percentage is WAY down this season? Unless he's experiencing some elbow tenderness, it doesn't make sense not to utilize your best pitch more often when they're obviously keying on the fb.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 23, 2015 -> 03:23 PM) If Sox don't score 5 today, everybody in the hitting equation should be fired the way the ball is flying out of the place. Except when Cabrera hits it.

Dont know whats going on with Sale's pitch selection this year...and why he's allowing so many batters to key on his fastball. Or doubling up with either changes or sliders when he does throw it. It's going to be completely ridiculous if May records 4 of 6 career victories against the Sox. Although lefties with average stuff have always owned us historically.

Goldschmidt and Rizzo are pretty darned close in OPS and war. Rizzo has a huge advantage in stolen bases....over any 1b.

Well, they were supposed to face the Cubs in the 2017 World Series according to SI.com.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 23, 2015 -> 07:43 AM) They also lead the majors in homers, and by a mile. (on a side note -- a certain other team is tied for 28th). Springer, Gattis and Carter have all been struggling for most of the season, too.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 23, 2015 -> 06:15 AM) The Morales/Chris Young production is nauseating. Guys of the scrap heap are the major reason they're on top. And Hosmer. Moustakas, Cain, Escobar, Perez and Gordon aren't the scrap heap...or Herrera, Davis, Holland, Hochevar, Ventura and Duffy. You can put Young, Morales, Rios, Orlando, Infante, Medlen, Guthrie and Vargas on that list...of course, those are also all players Hahn had equal access to sign. Ironic he was voted comeback player in the AL....the Mariners didnt try to keep him, and now they have a pitching shortage again with Walker and Iwakuma struggling and Paxton not as good as last season either.

Is retiral a word? Number retiring/retirement ceremony. Carry on.

http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/mlb/miam...le21754098.html Jennings, Cishek and Stanton booed. Latos and Henderson Alvarez hurt. Jennings 0-5 on headed for the worst homestand record in Marlins' history. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/mlb/miam...le21745452.html And from the this would never happen with Ozzie Guillen around category, all the players ended up skipping an important (and expensive) Marlins' charity function....only the coaching staff showed up. Being tired and the losing streak were the reasons put forth. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-leag...V8xBHNlYwNzcg-- http://miami.marlins.mlb.com/mia/community...h_and_chips.jsp Michael Morse was one of the players scheduled to attend.

Damn lawless white people!

DBacks tie it. Goldschmidt homer with two strikes two outs off Rondon. Go Yasmany Tomas. Back to back? Crowd really into this one.

Great slide at home by Shuck on the second run. Aaron Hicks robbed Sanchez...nifty play there.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 22, 2015 -> 08:33 PM) Bob James says hello. Thigpen has the saves record, Roberto Hernandez the longevity...let's see how long he can keep it up. In terms of sheer dominance, Jenks in his first couple of seasons, although obviously different styles.

Wow a successful stolen base. Bad throw from Suzuki. It worked out.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 22, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) I used to be annoyed that Hoiberg built Ia St on transfers, but he simply showed he was a few years ahead of his peers. Tarkanian...Billy Tubbs....Lon Kruger...Bob Huggins....Sampson

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 22, 2015 -> 08:19 PM) Jeff Hornacek has a much better chance I was joking. You can have Adam Haluska back.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 22, 2015 -> 08:15 PM) Just don't let him be VDN. Please. Doug Collins to Ames.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 22, 2015 -> 08:13 PM) Hasn't this Thompson guy owned the Sox this year? Too bad it's not Taylor Thompson. We might be able to scratch a run across.

Great recovery from the lackluster first inning. Should be a 2-1 Sox lead. Best streak to retire 17 consecutive by a Sox pitcher this season.
