Lefty Kyle Ryan will start for the Tigers on Friday. Should be Quintana for the Sox. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=ryan--001kyl Ryan- Quintana Price- Danks Simon- Samardzija

I have no strong opinions on this, but if that Happ guy is an appropriate pick at 8, you know the Sox have strong ties to the Cincinnati area with Laumann living there.

38 games til the break. Let's play some good ball, and go 23-15 and get to 46-41 by the break. Then make a couple trades, get better, and make the frickin' playoffs.

No walks.

Twins and Royals 28-18. Didn't see that coming.

The Swirsky Trip

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 25, 2015 -> 08:49 PM) Just was able to check the score.. 6-0? To a 6 era pitcher? Are you kidding me? And he was pitching ill too.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 25, 2015 -> 08:45 PM) Watching the Hawks get crushed what is his main defense? It's on the players to know the fundamentals. If they don't know it when they get to the big leagues, they'll never get it. Blah blah blah.

Rongey spewing the same ole s***.

Alexei wouldn't talk to reporters after the game. Do we even know what his voice sounds like?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2015 -> 08:32 PM) Bring back Rowand! This road trip will go down in the annals of Sox history as "The Swirsky Trip".

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 25, 2015 -> 08:32 PM) Absolutely do NOT fire Steverson. He's the only non-insider on this staff. He uses a modern approach. It's not his fault Kenny loads this team with stiffs. He got a lot out of the younger players like Abreu, Eaton (at least last year) and Avisail this year. Gillaspie improved too. Get rid of Bell. And let Hahn handle all personnel. Firing the hitting coach always seems like the first step, but we'll see. I absolutely think Kenny needs to resign (as opposed to re-sign) after the season, and Buddy has to go too. It won't happen though as long as Reinsdorf is the Chairman.

Of course, now they have an injury they can blame it all on.

It's such a cliche thing to do, but if this road trip is 0-1-2-3 runs a night, Steverson has to go.

Stay hot

7-3 starts tomorrow. We'll be ok.

Remember when Alexei was a rookie and he couldn't go to Toronto? More of that.

https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/602920930248138752 I expect the Sox to get their asses kicked, so that probably means a win tonight.

11-0. Yankees have lost 10 of 11 for the first time in 20 years.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2015 -> 10:13 AM) I think the bigger problem is that some people think a baseball ticket entitles them to way more then it actually does. Baseball is a sport. It is entertainment. It is a game. It isn't some sort of place for people to get an ego fulfillment because their team owes it to them, or some weird 21st century entitlement idea. The ideas about stomping and pouting and demanding the team do this and that because they owe it to you, the fans, is just silly. I don't know when that idea came into sports, but people need to get over it. These aren't gladiators. This isn't life and death on the line. The whole idea that staying away and quitting somehow makes you better than people who don't, because the team isn't delivering something it apparently owes to you to get you to show up is just mindblowing to me. Even worse is taking to the internet in an effort to get some sort of cyber pat on the back because you are all sad because the team hasn't won enough for you. Baseball is not an entitlement program. It doesn't owe you a regular championship as if you get a trophy just for signing up as a fan. If you need that to feel good about yourself, sign up for another team. It seems like you have being a fan down to - this is the team I like, this is the park I go to and enjoy, and I hope the Sox win, but if they don't, oh well, there's always tomorrow or next year. And that's fine. But if that's the way you consume White Sox baseball, without opinions or thoughts on how they could improve, why even post here? What's here for you that gives you joy other than telling other people what to think?
