Almost 70 pitches already. Yikes.

31.

We traded him after he had one full year of A ball and a half a year of high A ball. He was prone to strike out and his calling card was speed. Horacio Ramirez was who we got in return... Who gave us an almost 7 ERA in 17 games.

One. f***ing. Run.

beginning of story. f*** jeff samardzia. end of story.

+1

A sweep will sure as s*** get this train "back on track".

Thank god for Sale. Do it again Condor and give the pen another chance to turn it around!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 16, 2016 -> 07:34 PM) 2016 AL ERA Leaders (starters): 1. Jose Quintana (1.54) 2. Chris Sale (1.67) Badass. Now it's time to keep that ball rolling, get Rodon into bulldog mode, refocus the bullpen, and do some deadline patchwork.

Shout out to his wife, I presume.

QUOTE (BaseballNick @ May 16, 2016 -> 10:27 AM) ...he's hearing the White Sox and Angels have interest in letting him start while SF has only offered him a relief pitching role. Ground breaking. Can't be us signing him - it's not Wednesday.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 15, 2016 -> 03:43 PM) Rodon has made some comments about being more aggressive and if he walks guys, he walks guys. Let's see how that goes. It will at least be good to see his bulldog mentality manifest again.

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ May 14, 2016 -> 10:31 AM) Rodon has some Cuban heritage, when the sox had el duque and Contreras, el duque told Contreras he needs to pitch like a Cuban. El duque wanted him to change arm angles and speeds . Contreras then began pitching better. Your statement makes no sense. It's like saying, there's one apple who didn't like being made into sauce, but he is from an apple tree. Well, two other apples were also from an apple tree and they liked being made into sauce. Wtf and wtf.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 13, 2016 -> 11:09 AM) Matt Purke got called up, 25-year-old lefty. He's got the award for goofiest looking dude ever on lock down.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 13, 2016 -> 07:51 AM) Sale has a legit shot at winning 20 games this year. Pretty cool. Given what we've seen so far - he's got a legit shot at 30

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 12, 2016 -> 08:12 PM) Not sure how reliable he is, but Max Wildstein said on Twitter that the Sox are the "favorites" to sign Lincecum. Take that for what it's worth. I give my dogs reporting more weight in the baseball world than Wildstein... And I don't even have a dog.

Pretty hysterical that BA has Ray going to us at 10 and Law has him at number 1.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 12, 2016 -> 11:15 AM) FYI, the Sox arent all that interested, but the media manipulation is interesting. The 2016 Chicago White Sox, your go to media manipulation team of choice! Strange continuing trend.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 12, 2016 -> 09:49 AM) Ken RosenthalVerified account ‏@Ken_Rosenthal Sources: #SFGiants, #Angels, #WhiteSox most interested in Lincecum. Not close to decision. Giants probably want him in the pen, but Timmy could hedge his bets that Peavy or Cain can be replaced. Angels, he gets a rotation spot - sure... But does he really want to play on a team that won't sniff the playoffs? Even if he prefers west coast teams, I don't see it. White Sox, great track record with pitchers. One of the best teams so for in baseball. s***ty home field for a pitcher and probably comes with a guarantee that he makes the rotation within 4 weeks. All and all - I bet he goes back to SF or to our Sox.

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 12, 2016 -> 09:41 AM) Same top 5, just shuffled. =) TOR 2.68 SEA 3.00 CLE 3.10 TEX 3.41 SOX 3.53 Oh damn, I thought it would be obvious that they're off.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) Richard Justice ‏@richardjustice 10m10 minutes ago Top AL road ERAs: @WhiteSox 2.80, @Mariners 3.00, @BlueJays 3.06, @Indians 3.12, @Rangers 3.41 Well, I know one team is no longer on this list

f***.

Carroll is warming up? Eh.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 11, 2016 -> 01:23 PM) Now Jennings is giving hits up. There is no way this game can end with the Sox in the W column. Just has that inevitable feeling. Yesterday had the inevitable win for us feel - and that didn't happen. Still hope we can squeeze a win out today.
