Detroit just drafted Verlander's little brother, a RF. Orioles selected Yaz's grandson, Mike, a RF as well.

Well, Matt Ball seems excited. It's been like 25 minutes and he's already changed his Twitter handle to "@MattBall_ChiSox", updated his bio to say White Sox, has the Sox logo as his avatar, and is tweeting/retweeting/favoriting people congratulating him. I think he'll sign. LOL.

12th Rd Pick.... Tyler Shryock, SS, Cal State - Bakersfield (CA), L/R, JR, 6'00" 170lbs DOB: 03/28/91 @tshry22

Mariners just took Kyle Seagar's little brother, listed as 1B/3B. That's pretty cool.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 8, 2013 -> 01:11 PM) Interesting to see them take HS arms. Ball signed with Long Beach State http://www.presstelegram.com/sports/ci_234...p-pitchers-ball I hope Ball doesn't turn out to be a Dirtbag.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 8, 2013 -> 10:05 AM) Sick comeback bro, you got all of us. K.

Good! I've turned the corner earlier in the week. I hope we lose every game that Sale doesn't pitch, and we can get a top 5, maybe even top 3 pick next year.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 07:21 PM) Why the f*** would you not want to watch Game of Thrones? The show and books are incredible! Don't you watch that garbage show Davinci's Demons? But you refuse to watch a great HBO show? I just don't get hating on Game of Thrones for no particular reason. It's not like we're talking about some overhyped show like Downton Abbey. No. I watched the pilot, and then came on here and said it was stupid and unrealistic. I don't hate GoT, I just have 0 interest in ever watching it, besides checking out that scene that everyone was freaking out about.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 07:31 PM) I don't watch GoT because I'm not into fantasy Same. I don't do fantasy stuff, unless I happen to have grown up with it, ala Star Wars, Harry Potter, LoTR, but even LoTR I have seen all the movies just once but can't tell you any specific details about anything. I generally like my shows/movies to be realistic or at least plausible. I don't give a s*** if people like GoT, I have nothing against it, it's just not anything I would ever be interested in. Clearly people freak out when you use the term "nerd".

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 04:51 PM) Please tell all of us nerds more about orphan black Please tell me about all the realms and magic and special powers in Orphan Black. It's a weird show, easily the weirdest show I watch, I'll give you that, but it's not even close to the Dungeons and Dragons show on HBO. inb4"IT'S NOTHING LIKE D&D!!!! YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND!!!"

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 08:37 PM) That's the ONLY trade I make for Sale....Paulie can head back home & maybe get re energized being in the hunt. We would get some very very solid young guys. Goldschmidt plugs in immediately at 1st. Gregorius gives us the option of trading off Alexei & plugging Didi in immediately. Corbin moving to the AL would be my only concern, but I just love the way he attacks the hitters & his presence on the mound. DBacks I dont think would ever move Goldschmidt though. So in other words, the Dbacks 3 best players for our 1 best player. Yeah, I'm not seeing them agree to that, especially since they wrote up a press release for drafting Sale, and then decided against it at the last second. That's a hefty price for a redo pick.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 08:30 PM) Courtney Hawkins really looking good since the injury. 2 for 2 today with a triple & a double & he has 3 homers this week as well. Up to 10 homers on the year. Wind blowing in from dead center too.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 08:21 PM) Yea Jesse could really bring back a solid prospect. Looking at these bullpen splits, a contending team w/ a terrible bullpen, not in our division appears to be the St. Louis Cardinals. A quick glance at their prospects and a wishlist I'd make for a swap for Crain would be in order.... 10) Carson Kelly, 3B, Grade B- 11) Patrick Wisdom, 3B, Grade B- 12) Stephen Piscotty, 3B, Grade B- 13) Greg Garcia, 2B-SS, Grade C+ Rankings/grades according to minorleagueball.com

Micah Johnson led off the game w/ a triple. Beck through 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 08:20 PM) We're at the point in this season where what Phegley, Johnson, Beck, Sanchez, Thompson, Hawkins and the others are doing means more to me than what is happening at 35th and Dan Ryan. Oh, definitely. I check the minor league gameday threads with optimism each day.

Erik Johnson? LOL, what? Also, without reading any comments, I picked Jesse Crain immediately. Glad to see everyone else agrees.

From the Twitter land of FWIW......... -- James Dykstra has changed his background image on Twitter to the Sox logo. -- Jacob May posted this picture.... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BML3A1ACUAMaT2L.jpg -- Tyler Danish has a picture of the TV when the Sox drafted him, bio says "2nd Rounder to the Chicago White Sox" -- Tim Anderson has profile pic wearing Sox jersey, pic of him drafted by Sox as background image, bio says #WhiteSoxNation -- Bradley Goldberg posted this photo of his family all wearing White Sox hats.... http://instagram.com/p/aRsL1ttLr0/

Hoping to see the Sox go for a 3B, 1B, SS, and HS pitchers.

QUOTE (staxx @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 10:51 AM) Or possibly become one of our starters? We got a kid with good potential, no reason to not give him a chance. He probably is a better choice than Wahl/Ziomek. Well obviously you give him a chance to prove that he can't start, but everything about the way he throws screams reliever eventually.

I don't and won't watch GoT, but I just watched that Red Wedding scene that nerds are freaking out about. I don't know who any of those people are, but that was pretty incredible if they were all main characters.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 10:17 PM) Not 1 shot terrible. Not true. I heard them say that in the broadcast, but unless they don't count it as a SOG when Quick caught a shot w/ his glove, then the Hawks definitely had 1 shot on net.
