QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) If the Red Sox lose in Anaheim, they will be tied with the Tigers for the second wildcard. Only ahead by a percentage point. They really really need to f***ing pony up and get a package from us for a SP, OF, and RP Dumb ass mofos

No.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) How about hitting seven home runs in a game and losing...just sayin' Only two more months of this s*** left to go! Out of all the disappointments this year (and there have been a lot) Rodon has been one of the biggest. This guy now looks like he has no idea what he wants to do out there. Mark Not even a shade of the bulldog we saw at NC

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) Otherwise, yeah. They're done. Bet you a million bucks you're wrong...

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:42 PM) Doziers homer looks like an infield fly compared to what Thome did http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/0/v11084089/c...mer-in-the-10th That's a crime. He should have been arrested Oh I remember. Very well. Before Thornton threw the pitch I walked up to the TV and turned it off. My dad asked what the hell I was doing - to which I replied, "Thome is hitting a walk off." He says something like, "you don't know that - turn it back on!" I turned it back on and the crowd was going nuts which Thome circled second. I turned the TV back off and said, "see" My dad was looking at me dumbfounded.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:35 PM) Nice pitch selection Rodon...jeez Clearly missed location. Down and away turned into up and in.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:33 PM) Seeing Morneau up to bat for some reason made me think of the time Thome hit that ball off the moon against Thornton Dozier says hello

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) Definitely appears to be a more well rounded player, but is there enough there that he maxes out an everyday CF? We'll see - Brett Gardner is his ceiling. I'd say that's a good comp - maybe he's a little faster than Brett with less pop. Scouts still think that he will grow into more power. Gotta like the speed, batters eye, contact skills, and defense.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) Sounds like they acquired a possible starting OF/CF if he maximizes his potential, but is more likely a 4th OF. To be honest, I'm underwhelmed, but I'm no expert. Duke is a good middle reliever, and there seems to be a premium right now on quality pitching. How does this return compare to what Seattle got for Montgomery? Vogelbach is a more one dementional player where as this kid we picked up has a good 3 or 4 tools in the plus column. More well rounded. I personally would have rather had Vogelbach thou.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:32 AM) I feel like the GM, the senior vp of operations and the manager holding a meeting the day before trade deadline would suggest something is up. Naw, they're all just comparing notes on poop reports. Talking about color, consistency, foreign objects visible, etc. Trying to determine if team diet should change or not.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) Sounds like Shuck 2.0 Way faster and more athletic. And he's already a Cub Killer http://wreg.com/2016/07/23/charlie-tilson-...r-the-redbirds/

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 05:42 PM) The idea behind that signing was great. Too bad 70% of this roster blows. And too bad he couldn't have been healthy since May 8th

Just heard the Washington Nationals announcer say that the White Sox have the most blown saves in all of baseball.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 03:14 PM) Christian Vazquez is an unbelievable pitch framer. I'm sure the data agrees, because I just marvel at how quickly and smoothly he snaps every pitch in to the zone. Wow

QUOTE (Soxnfins @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) Robertson maybe? I'd do a happy dance if we got those two for Robertson

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 01:28 PM) @Ken_Rosenthal Sources: #WhiteSox scouted #RedSox’s AAA, AA and High A affiliates last night. Sox “highly doubt” deal will occur due to asking price. Blanketing of #RedSox’s system by #WhiteSox was first mentioned by @pgammo. Some believe CWS simply laying groundwork for off-season trade. More leverage for trade talks with other teams... "We can just trade with Boston this offseason. We're already getting prepared for it." Use Rangers against Boston, "Look, the Rangers are being very aggressive. Unless we get something done before Monday - we might not have the assets you want around still this offseason."

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 06:27 PM) That would certainly get the Yankees in the conversation for Sale. Giolito, Torres, Sanchez, Andujar, and Acevedo is on par with a lot of the other prospect packages that have been bandied about. If the Yankees had Giolitto - I would absolutely want a package from them

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:09 PM) Sox are the cure for insomnia. Partially inducing it lately for me

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:01 PM) You don't find 2 rankings done in the past couple weeks more accurate than a ranking done 5 months ago? Even in Law's midseason update, he re-ranks Moncada above Devers, although very close and still WAYY higher on Devers than anyone else (He actually ranks Benintendi their #1, then Moncada, then Devers) 1.) I don't have insider access 2.) all I said was that their not universally accepted in order and are somewhat interchangeable 3.) your update regarding Beni ranking number 1 acctually supports what I attempted to articulate. Thanks for the update, I was curious as to his most recent rankings.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 06:13 PM) They might...I hope it's a big all in. It would have to be something stupid for me. Odor, Mazara, Tate, Ortiz, Mendez Edit: there - now it's stupid

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 05:59 PM) Eh....I highly doubt that. MLB.com has Moncada as #2, Devers as #25 in their midseason update. (Benintendi is #7) BA has Moncada as #1, Devers as #41 in their midseason update. (Benintendi is #9) Doubt be gone. http://www.overthemonster.com/2016/2/11/10...ankings-red-sox

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 04:59 PM) I'm just trying to think if the White Sox were asking Moncada + Benintendi on Quintana, the Red Sox would probably say they would only give that up for Sale. So Devers might be an easier sell. All three are pretty interchangeable from what I recall. Some rate Devers higher than Moncada - for example.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) Just a small note but Profar is playing in the OF today Excuse my ignorance but what is the significance of this?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:36 AM) On the radio yesterday, Barry Rosner said the Rangers and Dodgers are the two teams really going after Sale. Doesn't seem like Boston is involved Translation: Boston is really the most aggressive in talks.
