http://espn.go.com/espnradio/chicago/play?id=10902181 If you enjoy hating Hawk like I do, this is the interview for you. About the 44 minute mark. Hey Hawk, there's this guy named Troy Tulowitzki that plays SS for the Rockies. Remember, you were there about a month ago?

In my opinion, what made Mad Men great was learning about the characters and their back stories as they went along. Once you know everything about the character, it gets a bit familiar to things that have already happened. It's still good. The writing is top-notch. The stories are interesting. I just can't be surprised like I used to. That said, I fully expect the last seven episodes to be great next year.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 8, 2014 -> 01:30 PM) Alright seriously Mad Men, wtf. Do you really expect us to believe for the 19th time that Don has hit rock bottom and is going to change his ways? I'm never not going to like Mad Men (they're too close to the end for that). But this show would have been better off as 5-6 great seasons, and leave on top. Breaking Bad did it right.

Sox starters are averaging 5.6 (almost 5 2/3) innings per start. They need to get that over 6 in a hurry, and even better when Sale gets back. It would be great if Sale comes back and doesn't miss any more time. Sale, Quintana, Johnson, Danks, and Carroll/Noesi would be an above average rotation, provided they make all of their starts. And if the bullpen doesn't go backwards too much, this team can win games and potentially get on a run. It's all about health with this team.

Yankees will retire Joe Torre's number 6 on August 23, before a game with the White Sox.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 8, 2014 -> 11:54 AM) Baseball! Game on WGN and I think it's Hawk and Stoney giving play by play. ESPN was gagga over Abreu last night and we saw some good baseball played by our Sox. Tuesday was good too WGN is the Cubs broadcast. Sox on CSN.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 8, 2014 -> 11:31 AM) He says he is yet rips Sox every chance he gets. His comments on the radio all these years would say otherwise, he may have grew up one as a kid as a adult he is hardly a Sox fan. He's a numbers fan. He can go "meatball" for the Bears and Bulls, but when it comes to baseball, he has to be the smartest one in the room, just like a lot of baseball fans these days. And obviously he has a crush on Theo, so he's rooting for their plan to work.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 8, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) Umm Dan Bernstein is a White Sox fan. He grew up as a Sox fan. He's more of a Dan Bernstein fan now.

Rockies non-pitchers are hitting .319. They average 1.35 more runs per game than the next best NL team. The home/road splits are there, but they're great everywhere.

Sox/Cubs games are the New Year's Eve of the baseball schedule. It's amateur night for fans. And that's fine, but don't expect a lot of good fans to put up with stupidity.

7:10, CSN Go Sox!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2014 -> 11:01 PM) Well, weren't we 26-26 last year at the end of May as well? I was expecting to see "flavum" as the poster for this one, haha. 33-28 on draft day.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 7, 2014 -> 10:36 PM) The looks on their faces say it all. Can we go now?

https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/4642462...0146432/photo/1 Should have got Paulie up front.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 7, 2014 -> 10:26 PM) Gordon "Cubs Slayer" Beckham. He's unbelievable against them. Now do it against Arizona and Oakland.

Danks 5 out of 7 in quality starts....and he's made all of his starts.

When the Sox were on the verge of losing to the Indians, they were going to be the 2nd worst team in the AL. They won that game, and the next three, and now they are tied for the second wildcard. Could only take 87 wins.

There are a lot of good options to replace Cleto. This isn't working out.

Hope there's no rioting or couch burning tonight. Be careful out there.

Does Kolek know how to pitch, or does he just blow away 16-18 year old kids?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2014 -> 09:55 PM) 25 years ago tonight. Jordan over Craig Ehlo for the win. I almost jumped through the ceiling.

This is the Sox division this year... http://espn.go.com/mlb/standings/_/type/wild-card/group/5 As long as they're in it, try to enjoy it. Because there are very few truly great teams in the AL.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 7, 2014 -> 09:06 PM) Rick Sutcliffe really likes the White Sox Is he drunk?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 7, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) Amazingly, the White Sox are still first in the AL in runs scored at 178. The Angels have 166 but have played 2 1/2 fewer games, so basically it's dead-even. Coming into today, runs per game: Angels 5.19 Tigers 5.11 White Sox 5.03

NICE!!!
