Chicago White Sox

I think I hate Tyler Flowers more than any player in White Sox history. That includes Jaime Navarro, Scott Linebrink, Mark Teahan, Will Cordero, & Brett Myers.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 09:16 PM) Why did they just let the two worst hitters on the team bat? One of them should have sat down for Soto. Maybe the problem isn't Robin, but his clown of a bench coach. Not pinch-hitting for either guy is ridiculous.

This team is not a playoff caliber team until they do something about the #8/#9 spots in the lineup.

Why the f*** is Flowers batting here????

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 08:54 PM) This is the Sox anything is possible. Danks starts every 5th day! Danks makes $15M/year. The money alone gives you a reason to trot him out there every 5 days and hope he does enough that some team will take him off your hands at a few million a year. F Flowers can be cut at any point without any ramifications.

Alright boys, need to get two more right here. Starts with you Avi.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 08:51 PM) Hope that is the case, but do not be shocked If it is the status quo at Catcher in 2016. There is absolutely no chance Flowers is the planned starter going into 2016.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 08:49 PM) He is the only one playing great defense this year, so it's deserved. I applaud his defense, but Hawk is so ridiculous about anything Gordon does that it makes me like him a little less.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 08:47 PM) Flowers is going to survive this season, but they need to replace him after this year, and have a fresh spring training with a new guy next year. Honestly, I think if Hahn can acquire a starting catcher he'll keep Soto as the backup over Flowers.

Now that's a double play!! But Hawk almost takes out all the enjoyment with his constant Gordon dick-sucking.

The problem now is we've already given up 1 and don't have a f***ing out.

I'm sorry, but DFA this f*** as soon as the game is over. Tyler Flowers is a complete f***ing joke.

At least we're back in this game.

Motherf***ing Abreu!?!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 08:35 PM) Needed a hit there Alexei I was expecting a K so I can't complain.

Really need Jose to get Eaton in here.

Come on Alexei, we need to get two this inning.

Call me crazy, but I'd rather have him on our bench right now than Bonifacio.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 09:52 PM) I've seen it done when I was with the Marlins. I think it was Dombrowski's relative. I'm not saying it's necessarily going to happen but I've seen before. And we did this with Ozzie's kid (eventually moved to the AV department), but at least he was a marginally capable baseball player. This situation is no different than when we drafted Schueler's daughter, although she was probably a better athlete than Reinsdorf's grandson.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 06:03 PM) Right. It's just a way for him to get to understand the entire business. Like an executives kid starting in the mailroom even though everyone knows he will be an executive soon. There is a 0% chance the Reinsdorf kid is signed, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 10:30 AM) Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 2h2 hours ago Chris Sale is pitching his way into history for #Whitesox, making his idol, Randy Johnson, quite proud. http://usat.ly/1JHEIjo Awesome article, Sale truly deserves to be recognized as one of the best starters in baseball by all fans.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:04 AM) Chris Sale being a god right now is the reason we can't blow it up. Wasting his prime would be a crime against baseball. 100% agree. Get Sale into the playoffs and he has a chance to carry this team. That's why Hahn needs to add more pieces to the lineup right now. With a halfway competent offense, this team can be in the Wild Card mix come September. The offense is do for a ton of positive regression, Shark should improve in the coming months, & Rodon is already a stud and continues to get better. Just need to fill a couple of the black holes in the lineup and we can compete.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) We won't ever be able to, FWIW. We might have been able to dump him for a worse contract like Melky Cabrera...minus that one problem. You've really gone all-in on the "Melky = Dunn" theory. Obviously no one is going to take Danks' contact as is, but eat the vast majority of the money and someone might take him. And quite frankly, I'd be okay with that because I think Johnson & Beck could exceed his performance going forward.

f*** these hillbilly Astros, Sox got this sweep on lock-down.

f*** Tyler Flowers!!
