Agreed on the losing thing. I want Sale and Rodon to win, but 90 losses should get the Sox a top 8 pick.

28 games for Abreu to make a Triple Crown run. Could you imagine?

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 09:39 PM) He ain't ready yet. 87 wRC+ at AAA. He played injured all year. I'm not saying he's a lock to be great right away, but he was on the fast track, and they'll have room for him.

Wilkins hit 30.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 10:55 AM) To be fair, the scout bought Montero and ice cream sandwich and he was taunting him the entire time. That's simply unacceptable behavior from a scout. It's really funny though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 10:19 AM) Any time I think Hawk is terrible, all I need to do is surf around my MLB audio subscription. That just makes me want to stab my ears out. Honestly, we are really, really luck with the TV and radio crews that we have in all sports. Chicago has some incredible talent broadcasting their local teams. It is a great time to be consuming Chicago sports in terms of the crews giving us the games. Again, your opinion. I don't doubt when listening to other crews, some of them are dull or stupid. But once a new PBP guy comes in, chances are we'll get used to it, because the focus is the White Sox. My hope is when Hawk retires, the replacement will be a professional broadcaster on par with John Rooney or Wayne Hagin, with a former player as a color guy. And believe me, there will be sadness once Hawk leaves. That's about 90% of my Sox viewing life, but he's really bad now---again, my opinion.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 10:02 AM) That's true since hawk is actually entertaining I meant as far as cutting back his schedule. And Hawk was entertaining. Now he's unbearable. I really can't believe how many people who seemingly have listened to him for 20+ years (30 years for me), think he's still fun to listen to, or think he's on his game. That's your opinion, and that's fine. But I think he's terrible now.

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/08/28/lev...-on-road-games/ Just retire while you have a couple marbles left. You ain't Scully.

Watch him throw a wild pitch.

It's too bad Avi didn't get a full year of at-bats.

Look at Beckham gettin' a big hit...good for him I guess.

Alex Gordon with a game-tying homer. They got some mojo.

Francona has to lead the majors in managerial air time.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 09:23 PM) So why did they take Danks out? 101

Adams pitching for AZL. Maybe he'll get a playoff start for Great Falls.

Hawkins not playing again. Makes me wonder if his season is over.

9 more outs for the bullpen, maybe.

Looks like the rain approaching is dying out, which is nice.

Not watching...has Hawk started looking at his weather app yet?

A Tigers beat writer is now saying Sale vs Scherzer in Game 1. The big Kyle Ryan-Chris Bassitt matchup at night...probably.

The probable pitchers are listed as: Friday: Verlander vs Carroll Gm 1: Scherzer vs TBA Gm 2: TBA vs Sale

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 01:01 PM) Flavum hates making news threads so I'm gonna do it for him I hate making new threads? Ok... Sorry, I thought the "Double header Saturday, Who will start?" thread was the right place for the information.

https://twitter.com/JordanStrack/status/505049264754798592 Bassitt starting Saturday, it looks like.

I like Sanchez, but he's getting traded this winter.

One month left. I'm good with anything when it comes to Dunn. We've gone this far.
