QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 09:03 PM) Just make Stoney the manager, as at least he seems to actually watch the game. I would take it... Anyone but Parent, Baines or Farmer. I could handle Stone, McEwing, DJ, Harrelson (just for entertainment, he could be like Jack McKeon), Cooper...why not? It would definitely help increase interest in the team for the rest of the year. Make Konerko the player/manager as he finishes his career with the Sox. Whatever.

Even the Mariners' announcers noticed it...SIGH.

Morales pricing himself out of the White Sox payroll range for next year, lol. Thanks, Jakemeister. Get Peavy out of there. This is pathetic....pretty soon, Jake's trade value is going to be diminished if he keeps this up and doesn't show much more than 89-91 MPH fastballs.

Side retired in order. Gillaspie first for AL rookies in hits (40) and 2nd in OBP (.340). CUE White Sox going into malaise/corpseball mode for the middle innings....until around the 7th or 8th.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:49 PM) f*** that. The last thing I want is the Yankees to not have to suffer through that disaster of a deal. I want it to hurt them for the next four years. http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id...cording-sources This is from the off-season when they said the Yankees were waiting for official action from MLB before going forth with trying to void the contract. Lawyers will get PAID, we know that much.

LOL at the Royals getting shutout by Twins' pitching. Well, not like we have a lot to brag about in that department... THANKFULLY, Peavy has another three weeks of bad teams in front of him on the schedule to maintain his trade value before his ERA balloons into the 4's.

I don't even think Danks was that popular the last couple of seasons. His prospect status had already dimmed, whatever cache he had in the first 2-3 years in the system. Was hoping for Ryan Sweeney with power, we got....Cory Snyder without the arm strength. Pretty swing, but not the results to support what scouts loved from a physical standpoint. He did have those 2 game-winning homers. He has that, at least.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:39 PM) It would be more effective if they did that, but it would be hard to implement since the league represents the owners and it would probably punish the wrong party in many cases, even if sometimes they knowingly turn a blind eye. You can argue that Peralta might have cost the White Sox MILLIONS of dollars (just from playoff revenue and season ticket renewals and not having to lower ticket packages)...and put the entire organization into a tailspin. It can be argued, but never proven.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:38 PM) I can't believe the Sox were dumb enough to sign DWise when they had Jordan Danks around. He's a stud. Nobody's going to argue with you, the only one is mysteriously silent or absent during game threads these days...lurking in the weeds.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:37 PM) Who is the one that wanted Danks up so bad? Marty, of course.

Flowers' chance at a hit here? About 1.2%.

Uselessness of Jordan Danks continues. SIGH.

TRADE DUNN!!!! He homered off King Felix. Off the end of the bat, didn't even make great contact there... BTW, Peavy's ERA is already up to 3.97. Last year, it took him until the final 6 weeks of the season to get close to that territory. Ramirez with an incredible jump, Sucre couldn't throw him out from his knees...strong armed kid.

If you knew Rick Hahn's reputation from Harvard or Northwestern, he's the last person in the world to ever enter a Waffle House, not to mention 85% of them are located regionally in the Southeast US.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:28 PM) It simply stuns me people are so against trading him Back to rebuilding (Astros/Mariners/Marlins/Rays comps, etc.) thread wars. Except the whole idea that we need to have a competitive team to avoid falling to 1.2-1.4 million in attendance is soon about to be tested. There aren't any good draws for June because all the teams we're playing at home are terrible.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:28 PM) No freaking leadership, as they keep letting the same bulls*** happen without consequences Waiting for DA's and Marty's take on Jordan Danks, haha. That should be good.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:26 PM) Once again, that lead didn't last long. The Sox defense strikes again! Trade Peavy while he's still in the same sentence as Cliff Lee (who has a truly dreadful contract).

5-1 2.25 for Peavy career-wise against M's. 3-0, 0.68 ERA for Peavy at Safeco. Of course, that run scores (thanks, Danks)....White Sox ran themselves out of their best opportunity to have a big inning. This whole team and organization is falling apart at the seams.

Thanks, Danks. Too bad your throwing mechanics and approach are reminiscent of Sammy Sosa after PED's in the OF.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:15 PM) Why should Beckham not make boners like everyone else? Too much "energy," bounce and aggressiveness on the basepaths, lol. Coupled with below average speed. Danks with a lousy throw....drifted back and didn't get himself behind it (see Puig for the Dodgers)....Danks caught back on his heels. So yet another mental error for the White Sox. Usually 3-5 per game that are easily identifiable.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:18 PM) After 4 batters, Sox have one bad base running play and one player who lost track of the count. Was there ANY possibility DeAza was going to be out at 3B? Because sacrificing yourself to keep Alejandro from being a dead duck was the ONLY reason to get in a rundown there.

Jordan Danks, defensive wunderkid, the legend continues...

Big inning wiped out but a run scored. Franklin with no play at home on the contact play...DeAza scores. Also, can't believe that Chris Stewart has lasted this long in the majors with the Yankees.

Jayson Nix putting up a Beckham-esque 613 OPS in full-time play for the Yankees so far... Yay, a leadoff hit. Nice approach by Beckham...JUST foul, by about a foot or so. And he undoes it with STUPID base-running. Runner on 3rd, one out. If you're scoring at home, don't bother with that sequence of throws.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 07:35 PM) Agreed. That's why part of me is hoping for Dominic Smith this Thursday. Two young, potent hitting prospects that would be on similar timetables if they panned out. And Barnum, if he ever is actually healthy...
