Oh, I would laugh if....

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 10:40 PM) I'll take some bad Beckham/Flowers defense so Robertson gets no earned runs and the Sox can still gain a half game on the Phillies. Let's just settle for the 4th pick.

It's pretty strange how good the Sox have been in extras this season. Of course, it ain't over yet.

Grichuk might as well be the hero.

I see sleep in the near future.

Now that Sale can't win, how about a creative way to lose. Perhaps a balk off?

Ok, get a run in here.

Keuchel is ahead of Sale when it comes to starting the AS Game or the Cy right now. Not really even close.

This is Sale's 100th career start. The Sox are 55-44 when he starts. That's terrible considering how good he is.

And Onelki Garcia blows it in the 9th to lose 2-1.

9th inning HR for Kottaras. 1-0 On Davidson, I know he's not part of the future, but neither is Beckham or Gillaspie. Maybe in August and September they give him a look, and see what they have there. For a bad team, it isn't going to hurt anyone.

White Sox baseball... Charlotte Top of the 8th Tyler Saladino hit by pitch. Jason Coats bunt pops out to catcher Audry Perez.

Free game on MLB.TV too.

7 innings, 2 runs. Sox lose 3-2 in 10.

Davidson walked his first AB. Respectable OBP. Hopefully he'll be up soon. Even if he sucks, let him play for a while.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 08:50 AM) I just hope that Hahn does something to shake up this team. The only things he has done so far this season is bring up Rodon and Sanchez. Rodon has worked out and Sanchez isn't hitting his weight. I'm surprised that nothing else has been done. Now that the press is dumping all over Ventura, I would think he will be replaced sometime before the All Star break. #1- Just my humble opinion, I don't think the media has the impact they used to. #2- I don't think Ventura will be replaced during the season. The time to do it was May. Now? Who cares? #3- If they do fire Ventura during the season, it won't be until after Reunion Weekend. July 20 is an off day while they're still home. That would be the day.

I hope the next manager is somebody I've barely heard of. Be creative, and don't hire a name brand.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 07:21 AM) I suspect he will sign with the white sox. And I would not be surprised if he signs before the season's over. Just trying to be different?

Jaime Garcia got scratched, so it's: Sale vs Lynn Quintana vs Lackey

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 29, 2015 -> 02:56 PM) Thome for a couple years then Konerko. I've said this before...I think Konerko respects the Sox organization, but if he gets back in the game, he'll try to do it with the Diamondbacks. I can't see him going through all of the travel again and having his home base be Chicago.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jun 29, 2015 -> 02:54 PM) which former sox player will get the gig next? DJ? Probably Thome.

This could have been written 6 weeks ago and been somewhat topical. The season is over in 14 weeks. That will be the end of Robin Ventura's managerial career. Fire him now? Wait til the end of the season and let him resign on his own? Who cares. There's no way he managing next season.

DJ Peterson homer in the first off Booch. Only a .289 OBP this year for Peterson. Thought he was better than that.
