QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 08:31 AM) That's a ridiculous twisting of a lot of words. It's Dan Jennings fault that Dan Jennings sucks. No one ever said the make-up of the roster wasn't the fault of the front office. But if you want to treat lack of bullpen depth like an obvious issue that was reasonably fixable, then show me where you pointed it out during the offseason, and explain to me why it's reasonable to expect that the FO could turn the worst bullpen in baseball into a bulletproof squad that's three deep with MLB options from both sides of the rubber over the course of four months. I disagree, I feel like I've been hearing a lot of that, and not just on this board. I will admit the back end of the bullpen does not warrant much criticism, as it's hard as can be to fill out, even with a good bullpen.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 06:33 PM) Which kind of bums me out. Kenny's got a losing record as a GM but he gave JR a ring and that's apparently a lifetime pass. I'm left to wonder what Dan Evans might have done. Guy has a great eye for talent. This has been really annoying me and for some reason that Konerko ceremony really brought it out. The '05 Sox have become the '85 Bears, and KW is the new Ditka. One shining year has pretty much covered up year after year of underachieving and losing to teams with less resources. The golden era of baseball with Konerko & Buehrle produced one more postseason win outside of 2005. Yet because the franchise sucked for the preceding 85 years, no one seems to care and KW gets promoted.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 02:18 PM) The only pitcher the organization SoxTalk speaks more highly of than Crain is Brad Penny Brian Anderson.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 02:14 PM) How come they haven't fired anybody? Because they have won as many division titles in the past 4 years as the White Sox have won in the past 30.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 02:09 PM) Not having games 3 and 4 on NBC is stupid. I do not get why the NHL would allow games to be on the sub channel, especially for the Stanley Cup Finals. Not this s*** again, Krush, where are you?

About 10 years ago I spent a few days in Mykonos, it was amazing.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 08:58 AM) I'd rather bench Gillaspie than Sanchez at this point. LaRoche/Sanchez/Ramirez/Beckham is actually a good defensive infield. Don't worry, he'll back to DHing everyday in no time.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 01:01 AM) Kane getting hurt was like a blessing in disguise. They got a cap exception and used it on their additions like Vermette, Timmonen, and Desjardins and unlike the regular season it's now paying off in the playoffs. And I also think the Kaner injury ensured everyday playing time for Teuvo, and look at him now. The Timonen trade is a bust, but Desjardins has been solid on the 4th line since day one, and Vermette's big playoff goals alone make that such a huge pick up.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 09:51 PM) Awesome game 1 win ALL the pressure on Tampa in game 2. Tampa is gonna have to open it up a little and that should help the Hawks. They played not to lose and it cost them.

Vermette! What a play by Teuvo!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 09:36 PM) If Hawks can score a goal to tie the game they will win this game. 1-1 TIE on que. Yeah, they are controlling this game right now, just don't let it go to overtime. That kid in the 86 jersey is kind of good at hockey

Tampa playing a perfect road game. At home.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) Third time is a charm hopefully? Or that PP managed to be worse

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 08:23 PM) 2 not so good PP for the Hawks. Third time is a charm hopefully?

Tampa dominating so far, just keep it 1-0 through the first, will still be in good shape

Wow, what a ridiculous re direction there, f***. This series is gonna be crazy

Bickell out with injury, Versteeg in.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 01:22 PM) I'm not sure we have a better option. And that's all the players' fault, not the front office's fault, at least that's what I've been told.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) I expect the White Sox to get some thank yous for these. MLB Communications ‏@MLB_PR 4m4 minutes ago #Astros Dallas Keuchel (2.62 ERA, 38 SO) has been voted AL Pitcher of the Month for May, earning the honor for a second straight month. John Blake ‏@RangerBlake 5m5 minutes ago Delino DeShields has been selected as the American League Rookie of Month for May. How did the White Sox help Delino Jr. last month?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 03:01 PM) We haven't even finished this LAST "start-over!" At some point, you have got to stay the course. Balta, it hasn't even been a HALF of a season yet. Melky Cabrera is not a 54 wRC+ hitter. Adam Eaton is not a 77 wRC+ hitter. Jeff Samardzija is not a 4.68 ERA pitcher. You haven't even given this roster a HALF SEASON and you're ready to clean the entire organization out. There's an Adam Dunn joke in here somewhere

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 01:28 PM) All right I'll try my hand at a game thread for the first time this year. I imagine not a lot of folks in Chicago will be watching this one. Of course not, Jon Lester is pitching at the same time.

Mark Lazerus ‏@MarkLazerus 50m50 minutes ago Same lineup as Game 7, Q says. TvR is "real close. Very good chance he's going to be in this series." #Blackhawks

Down goes Rafa, Djokovic finally beats him in Paris

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 2, 2015 -> 06:24 PM) I just hope the players start hitting so people on here stop wishing for human beings to be fired from their jobs. Mercy. Yes, their kids are gonna starve with Latrell Sprewell's if they are fired. Won't anyone think of the children?????

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 2, 2015 -> 08:15 PM) Extend him! Extend him! He'll be more expensive at the end of the year! Extend him without watching him pitch! He's gonna regret not taking the Sox offer if he keeps this up
