Impressive weekend.

QUOTE (muddywolfjohnson @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 04:29 PM) Man, what a heartbreaker this series was... Any real emotion for this team went out the window for me when McEwing sent Alexei home last week. That was the nail in the coffin.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 04:19 PM) Hahn is a clown also and needs s*** canned. The thing that we don't know... did Hahn put this club together in Kenny's vision for the club? Meaning, does Hahn think like Kenny? Or is he just doing what his boss wants him to do within the parameters of Kenny's approach? I'm a Hahn fan as a person and a communicator. If you promised me Kenny, Buddy, and the entire coaching staff gone, I wouldn't be against Hahn hiring his own manager and giving him three years to get a better path for this team. But, that won't happen.

QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 04:18 PM) Robin Ventura's record vs the AL Central has to be so bad. Cle (30-39)- 11-7, 2-17, 9-10, 8-5 Det (27-41)- 6-12, 7-12, 9-10, 5-7 KC (24-45)- 6-12, 9-10, 6-13, 3-10 Min (35-34)- 14-4, 8-11, 9-10, 4-9 116-159 (.422) That's like a 68-94 team against your own division. Over 275 games. Everything is ok though.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) Told you guys Not a big leap there.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) A team of guys just collecting paychecks at this point. Sox are KC complete little b****. Melky should line up on the field for high fives.

Well...Greg had a point...they did get swept.

How will Conor Gillaspie get us this week too?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 04:04 PM) Is there any doubt this game will end 7-4? Ok, 5-4. Loss is a loss.

Is there any doubt this game will end 7-4?

75-87 seems about right.

Also, the hugging s*** needs to stop.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 03:50 PM) Good job by Melky but we all know how this game will end Exactly.

...and this ballgame is over. Just kidding.

May start in a delay today.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 10:55 AM) strange day to give him off. You can do that when you're 65-44. Moustakas too.

Quintana vs Duffy. Thompson first ML start. https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/630395502023024640

I gotta say...the level of fraternization that goes on these days pisses me off too. I can understand when two opponents run into each other and they want to squash a potential problem by slapping a shoulder, that's fine. Hugging an opponent on the field during 162? That ain't cool. Not at all. As far as beards, I'm not a fan, but it is what it is unless an owner or manager says "clean it up". I can ignore that a lot more than all of the ass grabbing with opponents during games. And while I'm on a roll...the "get a single, look at the dugout, stir it up, blow it up, blow it out your ass" thing they're doing is stupid too.

12th pick. And the Marlins are the worst. Phillies decided to play good baseball recently.

After 108: KC 64-44 NY 61-47 Hou 60-48 LAA 58-50 Tor 56-52 Bal 55-53 TB 54-54 Min 54-54 Tex 54-54 Det 53-55 Chi 51-57 Sea 50-58 Cle 49-59 Oak 48-60 Bos 48-60 Division winners may flip in the East and West, but those top 5 should be playing past October 5th.

4.31 starting pitcher ERA. Not good. Royals are a little worse, but they do everything better than the Sox.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 8, 2015 -> 04:16 PM) Everyone had the Sox skipping Trout and the Angels taking him, but damn, if it doesn't hurt every time I see him play. He actually has a shot at being the GOAT. That's insane. Listening to Hostetler now. He said, "I saw Trout play (in high school). He was at SS on a Saturday morning, 10am game. He went 1-4, with 2 strikeouts."

I think we're really grasping at straws to find reasons to keep Ventura as manager. His time as manager has been a disaster. The team was ill-prepared coming out of spring training. We saw it. He's managed a team that folded in a weak division in 2012. He's had teams that did quit--2013. 99 losses? C'mon. I'm hoping that with his career earnings and relationship with Reinsdorf and the organization, he'll step aside as manager and be "reassigned within the organization". It's time for a change, and really, there's no good reason to argue this point anymore.

Trout hits homer 33 and 131 of his career on his 24th birthday. Not a bad player. Kid's got a future in this game...
