QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 12:06 PM) They just got Hill. Not saying they still couldn't get Shields but we could be moving other parts. Hill is on the DL with a blister that won't go away. No guarantee he pitches soon.

Caulfield-gasm!!!!

I have turned the corner on Javy Baez. He may never be a superstar but that's a great baseball player to have on your team. Does everything pretty well. God that sounds like a Hawk comment

I know it's easy to say from a couch with a glass of red wine but that at bat by Melky was painful. I've never had 102 mph thrown at me but why was he swinging at such garbage the whole time. None of those pitches were close.

So sorry Jeremy, all the best to you and your family.

I was at that game in Arizona. A couple of college buddies had just moved down there so a bunch of us went to golf all weekend and go to the game on Monday. We were in the absolute last row of the upper deck, paid like $100 for a $15 face value ticket. By the 3rd quarter, I was ready to party, figuring the game was over. Thankfully we stayed. When Hester caught that punt, I could see the whole field from my seats and saw the wide open path for him to get the end zone. I immediately knew he was gonna score a TD. The locals were crushed. They are a solid franchise now but that was their Super Bowl then, I think the first Monday night game ever.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 05:56 PM) This entire franchise top to bottom is embarrassing. I've been so indifferent for a while, this is getting close to funny bad.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) Move Q, Sale gave the Sox a massive discount cause he wants to play here. Sale probably would do the same when he becomes a free agent. Sale gave a big discount because he wanted guaranteed money in case his arm fell off tomorrow, not because he liked the Sox. Same with Q for that matter.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 12:33 PM) Yeah, not enough disgruntled old white dudes to put Trump in the WH anymore. No, there are more than enough disgruntled old white dudes around to vote Trump in. But even some of us realize how awful Trump is and won't cross that line. Gary Johnson or bust!

I don't know who Tim Kaine is but he is probably the next VPOTUS

Gage opens Trade Winds and nobody even cares enough to start a game thread.

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 02:21 PM) yes Thanks! Don't have a ride down to Midway so have to park the car there and don't wanna drag two car seats, a stroller, suitcases and two kids on a shuttle bus. That makes it easy. We leave Sunday for a week in Sun Valley, Idaho, awesome mountain resort town.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 23m23 minutes ago Looks like Kris Versteeg's playing career is taking a different path. He's expected to sign with Bern in Swiss League this wknd.

Speaking of secondary tickets, why does StubHub's website keep getting s***tier and s***ter? #1 secondary ticket marketplace and their site is just awful.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 09:19 AM) Deadspin ‏@Deadspin 5m5 minutes ago Ezekiel Elliott's girlfriend posts photos of bruises, claims she's a victim of domestic violence: If Elliot did this, not good at all. Good fit with the Cowboys

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 09:28 AM) This. That speech last night was to get everyone angry at Hillary and then promise the moon. Zero specifics were provided. However, next week, we'll be able to say the same thing about Hillary. She'll attack Trump. She'll focus on the fear that he becomes President. Then she'll also promise the world (jobs! healthcare! security! education! think of the children/future!) with little to no specifics. Not sure what people were expecting. Conventions speeches, and really all campaign speeches, rarely have specifics. It's all about promises that will never be fulfilled. The best part of the speech was his adlib thanking the audience for clapping when he said he'd do everything to protect the LGBTQ community from extremist ideologies. The way he was saying LGBTQ seemed so uncomfortable and forced.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 08:47 AM) That Trump speech was 90% fear mongering bulls***, but the parts he talked about NAFTA being an awful deal and factories closing in America is true. Now I don't believe for one second that he actually cares about that stuff, but he is going to attack Clinton on that stuff. It will probably work pretty well. I think the central part of his voter bloc are people that have been affected by all the factory closings. And the manufacturing economy does suck now. The problem is he has no idea how to fix that stuff and he has yet to even offer a real proposed solution. And the hate-filled fear mongering bulls*** is a problem too.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 07:13 AM) Hmm I'll admit I don't pay much attention to politicians actions after speeches but it this a standard wave or something? If you have a D next to your name, it's a standard wave. If you have a R next to your name, it's a Nazi salute.

Anyone know if Southwest offers curbside check-in at Midway?

Kershaw's back is no better, shut down indefinitely, may not return this year. And iamshack for president.

Bummer. My favorite long reliever of all time.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 12:54 PM) Total of 8 once again. I don't see us scoring many against Felix. 2 dimes again on the under to make an easy 5k off the series. Wish the books gave us more gifts like this.....I'd quit my day job. Good thing you kept the day job. You forgot about the White Sox bullpen and their issue with big leads.

The Mariners acquired a DH? Well that's a first. QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 06:04 PM) Have a feeling they go after someone big like Archer or Gray https://mobile.twitter.com/spshoot/status/755902564420444160 Gonna be a sleepless 10 days for Javy Baez

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 01:25 PM) He is facing RHP about 67% of the time vs. 80% or so an everyday player would face them. He is .245/.268/.390 vs. RHP. Defensively, I have no idea, but as an everyday player I think his offensive numbers per AB drop a bit. Still young, still improving, so who really knows what the future holds. He could be great, he could suck, he could be average. What puzzles me is if the Cubs were so sold on him, why did they put so many blocks into his playing time on the roster. Something there doesn't add up IMO. I think he's been constantly injured. He got hit in the face with a pitch last year, there was a hand injury this year. A guy like Zobrist is so versatile, I don't think it really blocks Baez that much. Plus, the Cubs FO mantra appears to be acquire as many good batters as you can and let the roster figure itself out, they move guys around so much day in and day out just to keep them in the lineup.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 12:43 PM) Total of 8 tonight! Keep the free money coming! 2 dimes on the under! 2nd night in a row the 9th inning made you nervous but 2 for 2. All in on the series finale?
