QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 07:27 PM) Or in today's society, you have crazy parents trying to get little Timmy medically supervised steroids so he can earn a scholarship to college and maybe go pro. Unfortunately that exists too. I just don't understand the "entertain me" mentality. If everyone had to take steroids to get to the big leagues, then it's just pro wrestling. It would kill the sport because I think most people want it clean, and we're smarter than in 1998. If it's just known that everyone is juiced, that's it for baseball.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 07:20 PM) I think steroid use should be regulated like plastic surgery is. You'd have to see a medical professional to do it. Steroids aren't necessarily dangerous if you use correctly (which is less likely when you can't have medical supervision, sterility of syringes, non-black market drugs) Just what every parent wants...little Timmy has a great baseball skills, and if he's really good, someday he'll get medically supervised steroids. That's just great.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 07:17 PM) You never plan around 18 year old prospects panning out Still, if you have the 13th pick in the draft, it shouldn't be somebody who is terrible in A-ball. If Hawkins doesn't become an everyday White Sox player, it's not good for Kenny, Buddy, Laumann. That's on them too.

And Hawkins K's again. 104 K's 207 AB's Incredible.

Holmberg got crushed today. 8 runs in 2.2 inn. Still, 2.97 ERA in 19 starts. 118.1 inn., 105 H, 33 BB, 84 K He'll turn 22 on Friday.

Hawkins swings on 3-0, makes an out. HAHAHAHAHHAH. He's so bad.

Some big offense today. Wilkins 3-3, 2 HR.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 06:20 PM) I still think our luck will change enough to stack up more wins than we saw in the first half. Sox were 33-48 in the first 81 games. 4-7 since. They might be able to go 30-40 after the break, but probably not.

Johnson BB, SB 65

Hawkins just missed one.

Micah Johnson bunt single. Skills.

Micah Johnson- single, SB Hawkins- K

Hawkins gets to face a lefty with a 5.35 ERA tonight. He also has 75 K's in 71 innings.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 04:29 PM) Realistically it will be hard to pass up Astros and Marlins for #1 pick, unless firesale. Yeah, it's 3 at best. Brewers, Twins, and White Sox should be 3-5 in some order.

Anderson single, Barnum 2-run homer. Damn, we need these guys to pan out.

Who had the Sox 37-55 at the break? On pace for 65-97. That should be good for 3-5 pick.

Dan Hayes saying Phegley is getting x-rays on his finger, but it doesn't look good. No further updates are expected today.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 04:02 PM) He knows his stuff, but crap if he's pissed again it's just plain childish and stupid I think he probably had a flight to Arizona, and got to leave early. But he probably planned it that way just in case this s*** happened.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 03:56 PM) He's being a wuss lately, getting tired of his crap I've never understood why some people like his style. Hated him with the Cubs. Hate him now.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 03:53 PM) Still no sign of stone He probably planned an early exit just for this reason. Smart guy.

Purcey in. He's just the guy to end this first half.

Go 19 innings. Is Stone there?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 03:32 PM) I love this reaction. "He's doing great! They must have screwed something up!" It was more of a different way of saying "Good job, Josh". I wasn't trying to start a conversation about the Sox took too long to bring him up. I mean, yeah, it could have been a month earlier. But, whatever.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 03:28 PM) Where's stone? 100% he's pissed.

What took them so long to bring him up?
