Chicago White Sox

f*** yes!!!

Come on Melky, keep this s*** moving!

Albers has got some big balls. Need to end this now though, because I don't trust Jennings.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 11:30 PM) O-2, the odds of Flowers fanning if he isn't bunting are through the roof. Honestly, I pretty much agree with that. Might have been the right move, but still a ballsy call IMO.

Let's end this s*** right here Sanchez.

Wow, ballsy call right there!

Jose will end it here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) Maiker Feliz playing for Az Sox now Same with Hanleth Otano, which is much more surprising given his performance.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 08:37 PM) You're more obsessed with me than Glenn Close was with Michael Douglass in Fatal Attraction. First step - admit you have a problem. Second - get help! Lol...only problem I have is I'm likely going to get banned for speaking my mind. The fact is you're a complete joke of a poster, whose only contribution to the board is consistently dropping gems like "Watch out insert sports league, insert player/team is going to lock this s*** down for the next decade". If you really want to help me, stop posting these ridiculous comments and making yourself look like a total fool.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 07:18 PM) The Blue Jays are on some X-box s***. Be afraid american league. Holy s***, someone get this dude some wet wipes...

I didn't hate season 2 of True Detective like many around here, but I can't comprehend how anyone could like it better than season 1. The first season was just incredible in all aspects, the second way too convoluted & slow for its own good. There's really no debate on which one was better.

Zangari with a real nice season. Would love to see them challenge him next year and send him to low A. He, Jarvis, Cruz, & Rodriguez would finally give Kannapolis some age appropriate position talent.

Gigantic f***ing game, as we need to win most series from here on out to have any chance. Games started by Quintana & Sale are basically must wins, so hopefully Jose & Chris bring it the next two days.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 06:34 PM) Donaldson always crowds the plate...should they just give him the whole inner half for fear of upsetting him? What would Harrelson say? If you're afraid to come inside, you're not long for the big leagues. For the love of god caulfield, just admit you're a Royals fan.

Early scoreboard watching: Blue Jays up 2-0 in Bot 5th Orioles down 1-3 in Top 5th Rays down 1-3 in Top 4th Twins even at 0-0 in Top 3rd

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) Am I missing something or is this article nothing new or unknown? QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) It was by Bruce Levine, so you know there won't be anything earth shattering... He won't say anything until the news is out already Unless I'm mistaken, I don't believe it was ever announced that the A's gave us an exclusive negotiating window with Shark prior to the trade going through.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 09:36 AM) But it is ironic. The guys rumored to be available like Kazmir, Cueto, Hamels and Price all ended up getting moved. So those teams found the right offer but the Sox didn't. I don't think the Sox really wanted to trade Shark unless they got knocked off their feet. That is okay since I actually think the FO thinks they are still in contention. But come October, if they don't at least get a wildcard and Shark walks for a comp pick, then they made a bad decision. 100% disagree here. We don't know the front office's long-term plans and what kind of offers they were actually getting for Shark. If they have any interest in resigning him during free agency, having a comp pick attached to him will improve their chances greatly. So basically by not trading Shark at the deadline, they've maintained a strong rotation for a playoff run, improved their negotiating leverage in free agency, and ensured themselves a comp pick if leaves. IMO, it would have taken a big return to forego those benefits, something like the Tigers got for Price. I'm pretty confident they didn't pass up on that kind of offer.

I think CarGo is very likely to slide through waivers. Didn't really see any rumors connecting us to him, but I still think he's a good fit for us. Whether the Rockies even want to move CarGo at this point remains to be seen, as all good young players & prospects on the 40 man will be out of play.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 09:08 AM) Seems like something has clicked for Barnum. Has an extra base hit in something like 9 of last 11 games. Yup, his overall July numbers were very solid but I feel like his K rate has dropped significantly over the past few weeks. I'm not going to get overly excited just yet, but he's done enough this year to remain a prospect of interest.

Lol @ anyone hating on a AAA depth move.

Big game tonight. Always important to win the game after a streak-ender to maintain some momentum. Need Rodon to be sharp and limit the amount of walks. That will likely make or break us tonight.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 07:39 AM) Gomez is 30 with an OPS .751. What exactly is that worth? Top prospect? Not in my opinion. Avi is 24 and I don't get the zeal to dump him. Gomez is worth Avi but certainly not Avi and the top prospect like Adams or Montas. Maybe you throw in a 10 to 15 rated prospect. Or better yet use a 15 to 20 rid of prospect get a situational hitter like the angels got. Well you completely ignore defense in this analysis, but let's not even consider a deal because you know, hero worshipping.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:47 PM) Well, if Rock isn't kidding, we're adding AJP While I think he was just speculating, adding a third catcher would allow us to use Soto at DH against LHP while still allowing for us to pinch-hit for Flowers late in games (stole this idea from southsidesox). However, this idea becomes pretty pointless if we upgrade RF and let Avi platoon with LaRoche.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:31 PM) Carlos Gomez still available, Go after him . He just cost two major leaguers, what do we have to offer that's comparable?

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:28 PM) I would honestly add two bats if I want a legit chance at competing. Puig will always be my first option. I don't think he's traded though without two starters going out or 1 starter we need and a hot prospect. The point is that we are buying now. So I would try for both CarGo and Justin Upton. We need protection around Abreu. And just DFA Adam LaRoche. Eaton Cabrera CarGo Abreu Upton Get a RF like Cargo, platoon LaRoche & Avi at DH, and call it a day. One bat should be enough IMO.
