Love this team right now!

QUOTE (harkness @ May 3, 2016 -> 04:32 PM) Is Buerhle realistically an option? I have mixed emotions about that. I really don't think so. He hasn't thrown the ball all winter/spring. His velocity's probably around Jered Weaver level right now. Even if he wanted to come back, I'd say June might be the earliest.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 3, 2016 -> 03:59 PM) The hate for the Twins has faded a bit since 2010, but in 2008 there wasn't a team in sports I hated more than them. That made beating them in the Blackout game that much sweeter, and Danks was a huge part of that. Despite the poor results over the past few years, I never stopped liking the guy. Totally agreed. I hated the Twins more than the Packers, Cubs, Tigers, Indians, and Royals combined. The worst part of it was that those Twins teams would beat our built-to-win-in-the-playoffs teams in the regular season and then just suck horribly in the playoffs. They were basically a waste of space in the postseason. Meanwhile we were sitting at home with 3 top of the line starting pitchers (especially in 2003 and 2010) and good offenses.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 3, 2016 -> 03:51 PM) Anyone else really hate the away goal rule? I think it is remarkably stupid and wish it was done away with. I wish they'd just keep playing until someone gets more goals than the other team... Or if you don't want it decided on pens, just play the 30 minutes of ET. If it's still tied, then away goals decides it.

QUOTE (daggins @ May 3, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) fWAR for Danks: 2008 - 4.8 2009 - 2.7 2010 - 4.4 2011 - 3.0 Then he got hurt. He was maybe the best starter on a couple very good (and a couple disappointing) White Sox teams. His contract and injury came to be unfairly associated with the stink of failure that hovered over this team the last 3 years. Danks was a top 5 left handed starter in the AL for a few years. That's why he got the contract he got.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 3, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) I wouldn't be on board with with this guy. I don't like him at all because of his lying, cheating dbag ass. You can say the same about Melky...

I really didn't see us eating all of that money. I'm shocked.

We already have a handful of d-bags, why not take in another? lol

1. Eaton 2. Sale 3. Quintana 4. Lawrie 5. Albers

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 2, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) That was one hell of a goal! He looked like 2014 Hazard. Impeccable dribbling and ball control. That shot was also a beauty. Lloris had no shot to stop it.

Leicester City win it! Easily the best PL season since City winning it on the last day in 2012, maybe the most interesting PL season ever. Spurs really lost it at the end of the game.

HAZARD! It took 35 weeks for him to finally show up. Never thought I'd be rooting for Chelsea against Spurs.

I thought April was going to be difficult too, but look how that turned out. I'd be fine with 13-14 since we're already 10 over though.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 2, 2016 -> 10:45 AM) ESPN cut out Schilling from the documentary about the 2004 ALCS. How stupid and petty. I can't stand Schilling as a person, but you have to respect him as a player. Leaving him out of a documentary where he was one of the most pivotal parts is so dumb.

That's my new avatar

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 01:50 AM) Dee Gordon suspended 80 games for PEDs. Wow for real? Of all people? lol

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 10:30 AM) Why is Derrick Henry still available?! I feel like he needs a good line to be an effective NFL RB. He takes a bit to get going since he's so damn big.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 03:06 PM) Over their last 162 games the Astros are 78-84. And they started the 2015 season 15-7. Kind of goes to show a hot start in April can allow you to be mediocre the rest of the year and still make the playoffs.

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 02:49 PM) I was watching SportsTalk Live with Kaplan the other day. He asked the panel what was more impressive : 1) The White Sox sweep of Texas or 2) The Cubs taking 3/4 from the Reds paired with the no-hitter. Obviously, they all agreed with the Cubs taking 3/4 from the Reds. After the Cubs beat the Brewers today, I wouldn't be surprised if they said the Cubs taking 2/2 from the Brewers was more impressive than the White Sox going INTO Toronto and kicking their collectives a$$es. I would hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. The Kool-Aid is the sweetest it has ever been. Even when playing complete garbage. lol that's a joke.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 01:22 PM) Beat me to it. WTF guys Nobody's saying he should be forced to pitch through it. Relax man. I didn't even know why he went on it until after I posted.

Well s***. I guess we'll get a look at Nate Jones being closer. How long is the bereavement list? 3 days?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 11:46 AM) LOVE the avatar I couldn't resist. He really is a human sloth!

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 10:44 AM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 4m4 minutes ago It's raining in Baltimore. Weather app says 25% chance at 7 pm EST, 45% at 8 & 30% from there. Sat night isn't good, either. Sun = horrible. I'd like a rainout please. Then we get to skip Danks again.

Guess who leads the AL in fWAR? Jose Quintana...

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 11:59 PM) Royals lose, the Royals lose! Wow, swept by the Angels.
