QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 04:49 PM) Just got an email that the Bears season tickets are in the mail! Unfortunately, I think their winning percentage will be worse than the Sox. However, the expectations are lower as well. I expected the Sox to be over .500 not so much for the Bears. I have zero expectations for this season, but I still got excited when I got that e-mail. Football weekends are just awesome.

My 2-year old can sing "Let It Go" from memory. Come to think of it, so can I now because I've heard the song 38,439 times.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 09:47 PM) If they keep this up, Hahn won't be around by year 3. But Kenny will be, as long as JR has his 05 ring

How in the hell did Yadier Molina hit a triple? He has Konerko speed.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 09:33 PM) Tough crowd. I've waited and waited and except for Heads, no positive comments about Danks. You guys have proven you are one, tough set of message board fans. I have players I despise, but I give credit when it's due, like saying Melky had a nice slash hit tonight for the RBI. Danks' resurgence is single handedly depleting my Draft Kings balance

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 09:27 PM) If this score holds the Sox will be 6-5 in their last 11 games they've scored 2 runs or less. This team is somehow actually overachieving

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 08:41 PM) And the worst hitter on the Cubs roster delivers a 2 out RBI off Chapman. They have no business being in this game, and they are likely going to win I'd take Teagarden over Flowers any day of the week. If anything, the name is more fun to say

So is that the worst loss in US soccer history? In Jurgen we trust?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 09:07 AM) Except his GM is paying Bonifacio basically twice as much as Beckham to do pretty much nothing. How did he end up overvaluing him by so much? We've seen the same thing happen with Keppinger, as well, fwiw. He overvalued him because he signed Beckham afterwards. There wasn't much of a reason to have both of them. Would Bonifacio be playing better with more playing time w/o Beckham? Maybe, maybe not, but having both of them on the roster is where I think the biggest problem arose.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 02:49 AM) This weekend had a crowd no less than 25k. But also not a sell out for any of the official reunion games(friday's day game wasnt part of the festivites) With the '05 reunion and the influx of Royals fans, a high crowd of 33,550 doesn't bode well for the rest of the year. Although they do have upcoming weekend series vs. the Yankees and Cubs which should help.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 04:51 AM) Is it possible that Soler isn't as great as people, including me, thought he'd be? I believe Melky has a better stat line than him now. Actually, Soler: .258, 5 HR, 26 RBI, .705 OPS Avisail Garcia: .272, 7 HR, 31 RBI, .703 OPS I think that the sudden stardom of Puig/Cespedes/Abreu kind of overrated all Cuban prospects, even those 3 guys got slightly overrated themselves. They all still have that adjustment period that is key as to how good of MLB players they will be.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 11:12 AM) LaRoche isn't really a bad contract. He'll be in his walk year next year and I still bet on him coming around this year and have relatively respectable numbers, slightly below his 3 year trend. And at that price, I think you could move him (if not early in the season, by the deadline a team would be looking for a vet bat to add). I don't think the LaRoche / Danks contract, at this point, are reasons you don't sign Shark (given that both are done a year from now). ESPECIALLY IF THEY STOP STARTING HIM AGAINST LEFTIES!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 10:28 AM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 8m8 minutes ago Sources: #WhiteSox in “listening mode.” Samardzija most likely to go; only potential free agent of significance. Team also could add. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 8m8 minutes ago #WhiteSox will not tear down, trade Sale, etc. Did not simply put club together for 2015. View season as first of at least 3-year window. As opposed to the postseason less 6-year window that just expired.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 09:48 AM) Alvarez is about to be traded by the Pirates. He has two more years until he a fa. If he can still handle third I'd love to buy low there. He'd fit perfectly into the White Sox mold

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 06:12 AM) Who can explain why almost every single White Sox team since 2000 has played poorly in August and September...? If we're not calling it momentum....either out of spring training or at the end of the year, what phrase should we use? Lack of focus, discipline, preparation, etc.? Or consistently in the first inning this year? Bad luck....umpires still hate the Sox because of Ozzie? The talent sucks but Hahn's doing a simply splendid job in a competing, theoretical universe that we just can't see with our own eyes? 2001: 32-26 (.552) 2002: 30-24 (.556) 2003: 29-25 (.537) 2004: 31-30 (.508) 2005: 31-28 (.525) I think you mean since 2006? The early 2000 teams played over .500 ball in August/Sepetmber/October.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) Angels and Padres have rained out games today. Drought is over! When is the last time that happened?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 05:32 PM) Arrieta pitching like an ace since the middle of June. He's going to destroy these weak-hitting teams they face quite often during the 2nd half. Watching a little today, he seems to be cut from the same mold as Hosmer and Moustakas. And Schwarber looks fatter than retired farmer Joe Crede.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:13 AM) Sox had been playing well before the break, winning series after series. As expected, they are back to their Sox ways post AS break. I predict the inevitable 3 of 4 losses to KC. Today's game 5-1 Royals. Congrats greg, you were off by a single run

Whoa Crede, he's larger than Jenks.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 09:58 AM) If you're going, the Sox are telling you to be in your seat by 12:25. Perfect Weather to be sitting in your seat for an extra hour

I was gonna tip a little given the heat and multiple appliances, but they were an hour early so I wasn't home and they dealt with a construction worker. Problem solved, no tip given.

Jermaine Dye to the Reds for Homer Bailey

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:52 AM) I swear every game I go to Danks is pitching. Do you have neck pain from watching the balls go flying out of the park?
