Chicago White Sox

I'm sorry, I'm been the most optimistic poster in this thread, but this at-bat has been ducking ridiculous.

Holy f***, do not bunt!!

7-6 ballgame! Tie this b**** up Schuck!!!!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 11, 2015 -> 08:54 PM) We are going to use our whole bench before the 9th lol Who do we have left to pinch hit for the pitcher? Just Schuck?

1st & 3rd, don't stop now!!

Nice Conor! Your turn Alexei!!

Tough pitch, oh well. Can't complain about getting three runs. Need the pen to hold them at 7 and the get two more runs in the top of the 8th.

7-5, getting back into this thing! Keep it going Avi!!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 11, 2015 -> 08:32 PM) that isn't whining, it is pointing out a simple fact. Edit: And I think you got me mixed up with the other guy who has a similar name to mine. I will forgive you My bad bro.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 11, 2015 -> 08:28 PM) Lol he hit a weak grounder that should have been an easy out. No offense, but you seriously whine about EVERYTHING. Why don't you enjoy some good luck for once.

f*** yeah! Don't stop now boys!!

Finally got some luck on our side, make them pay Spanky!

Ugly hack there, time for Gordon to stir the drink!!!

There we go Soto! Come on Bonifacio!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 11, 2015 -> 08:18 PM) rally time. Let's get two more right now.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 11, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) Extension? If he pitches like this we should not only not extend him but we won't get a draft choice for him. If he improves, we may be able to mitigate the losses. But even in his good games this year, he's really labored. The idea of a 73 win team to trade for a 1 year rent was nuts to begin with. Fortunately we didn't trade anyone with that high a ceiling. And this one, of course, was the same demographic as we've seen over and over...some NL pitcher that the Sox get all goo-goo over. I know it's trendy here to overreact to a bad month of performance, but short of injury there is almost no chance we won't get a comp pick for him. Outside of Semien, we didn't give up much. And quite frankly, a comp pick could end up being a better prospect than Semien. Having said that, I still think we extend him and given our depth at 2B, I'm ok with giving up Semien if that ends up being the result.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2015 -> 08:02 PM) Update on what just happened? You don't want to know, it was really that bad.

He looks safe to me, still worth the challenge. Either way, just an embarrassing effort on that play.

You better challenge that Robin!

Shark, we really need you to hold them to six buddy.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ May 11, 2015 -> 07:57 PM) It was worth a shot. Sometimes I have magical voodoo. I enjoy the optimism, but this team does not respond well to positive predictions.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ May 11, 2015 -> 07:53 PM) Abreu will go yard here. You god damn jinx.

I was one of Semien's biggest fans on this site, but it's impossible to judge the trade until after the season. First, we need to see if Shark signs an extension and for how much. If not, we need to see what we end up getting for him, whether it's prospects via trade or a comp pick. Second, it's way to early to draw any conclusions on Semien as a major leaguer, although I obviously believe in his bat.

Shark may be a more selective hitter than half our lineup.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 11, 2015 -> 07:43 PM) Hard to overrule this one IMO. Evidence does not seem conclusive. God you are one dumb f***.
