Chicago White Sox

Complete game win for Sale!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) He's still a debacle. Lol...it's like you assume future performance is 100% dictated by season-to-date results. One bad half a broken player.

Sox lead!! Yes!! Yes!!

We did it, we dit it! Two runs! Tie game!! Woo hoo!!!!

Yup Stone, I'm sure Flowers & Sanchez will make them pay for that error!

There goes the record, at least get this guy the win you chumps.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 08:10 PM) 6 more K's. He's on pace to go 9 innings, so he's still got a chance. Not likely, but 3 Ks every two innings is possible.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 09:21 PM) Alexei's D has been dropping off from year to year, so you can't just say this is some unexplainable act of God. Melky and Samardizija both had similar rough seasons just in 2013, so I don't see how this completely out of a standard deviation for them. Either way, those two players aren't the only thing keeping this team from being a contender. I mention Flowers & Beckham because they are on the roster and have to start the majority of the time. That's not Robin's fault, he didn't make up the roster. Then who's fault is it? Maybe the people who put together the roster? The people who acquired both years ago and are too stubborn to give up on them? Melky had a tumor on his spine that season, I think he gets a pass for that.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 10:00 PM) Trey Ball, Michael Kopech, cash of some sort. Holy f*** no.

Gordon Wittenmyer was on the Score this morning and said the Cubs were looking for a young starter, under team control for multiple years with a good contact that could start a game 3 in the playoffs. Quintana meets all those critieria and would be an elite #3 starter for them for years to come. I still think they are the best match for us, although I know it's incredibly unlikely the two teams make a deal.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 06:20 PM) Could be a big story here (Samardzija traded or Danks sent to bullpen?) or maybe he's just fatigued. Nothing on twitter so far. Danks is the starter tomorrow, so this may have some legs.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 10:36 AM) http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20150702 Charlotte- Johnson Birmingham- Jaye & Blackmar Winston Salem- Clark Kannapolis- TBA Great Falls- Banks AZL- TBA If Johnson has another strong start tonight, I'd like to see him replace Danks next time around. We probably won't see him until Shark (or Quintana) is traded, but I really think calling him up to replace Danks in the near future is the right move.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 09:49 AM) I just hate how everyone is acting like they have a clue as to whether or not RV is even a good or bad manager. We know he isn't great tactically, but you know who is even worse? Mike Matheny, and his team has the best record in baseball. So that tells you how much difference that makes. Beyond tactics, none of us know anything. You're all clamoring to fire RV because you want someone to blame, period. You have NOTHING to suggest that he's responsible for the failure of the team. The guy you're blaming for instilling poor fundamentals is the same guy you praised for instilling great fundamentals like two years ago. If he's fired, it will be a meaningless move that panders to the pitchfork mob. If that satisfies you, whatever, but it doesn't actually have anything to do with the team. This message board should be better than that. So none of us "have a clue as to whether or not Robin is a good or bad manger", but if he's fired "it will be a meaningless move that panders to the pitchfork mob". So in other words, you're arguing that managers are essentially worthless, which I find to be a laughable notion. Just because you're unable to quantity a manager's value, doesn't mean they provide none.

OVAH!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 10:36 PM) Damn thay just bought him another 3 years of good will for the club. Yup, I hate whining about a positive outcome, but Flowers is literally the last guy I want to see put us ahead with a HR.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 10:31 PM) Left after top of the 10th. This offense is so disappointing. Dude, you just missed a Tumbleweed blast!

How soon after this run scores does Caulfield post something about the "Cardinal Way"?

Oh great, the dreaded lead-off walk. Would have preferred the meatball to the slow death it looks like we're about to get.

I hate to say this, but it just seems like one of those games where Duke serves up a meatball to end it.

Eaton's had himself a game.

Good eye LaRoche. This at-bat is pretty much the game IMO.

Alright Spanky, slap one down the line and drive Carlos in.

Lol...Sanchez is due for a HR says Hawk. Who bets a weak grounder to 2B?

It's really sad when you go 8 innings, give up 1 run, score a run yourself, and still can't come away with a f***ing win.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) It's the opposite, chris hasn't been on their level in anything other than the strikeout title, but I'm too tired to fight this one so I'll just link to the stats. Lol...at least put some effort in if you're going to be a whiny little b****. For someone who constantly quotes fWAR like it's the bible, I'm shocked your using bWAR & ERA as proof that Sale hasn't been on their level. Chris has the second lowest FIP & lowest SIERA in baseball. He's arguably been the best starter in baseball and anyone saying otherwise is simply looking for reasons to complain about this team.
