Chicago White Sox

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!!

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:19 PM) We score almost 2 runs per game less for him than the next starter on our team. The game!!!

I'll be frank, if I was Quintana I'd slug a couple of the position players. Despite how bad our offense has been this year, I can't comprehend how he consistently gets 1 to 2 runs of support a game. Dude deserves way better.

Bonifacio is absolutely terrible. I really loved his signing at the time, but he's shown nothing this year and Robin isn't even using him appropriately (not that it would likely matter). A complete waste of money.

Why the f*** does this team keep trying to run??

At the game, looked safe on the jumbo-tron. What do you guys think?

Johnson with a monster of a start. Dude should be back on the radar at this point. Obviously our expectations should drop a little, but he should have a chance to fill that #5 very effectively once we can dump Danks on somebody.

Rodon worked his ass off to keep us in this game, he definitely deserved the win tonight.

Holy f***, that was much closer than it should have been.

I swear to god, I will murder Flowers, Bonifacio, & whoever else couldn't help us get in a run with the bases loaded tonight if we lose this game.

While four runs is obviously a nice lead, this team should be embarrassed if it can't score a run with bases loaded and no outs twice in a game.

Bases loaded, two K's for Flowers tonight.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 09:46 PM) Awesome!! Junior Guerra, get ready! If we get two more, then I'm cool with it.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 09:28 PM) Nice game by Montas, esp. against a lineup with 3 sure hall of famers, from what I read. I notice his K rate is down considerably, but he's still effective. I wonder if they're changing him in some sort of way. He could be working on a certain pitch.

That's twice Soto has started walking to 1B to only to be called out on strikes.

Two run lead!!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 08:56 PM) Has to be bearing DFA territory I think the only thing holding them back at this point is a lack of alternatives. Outside of Kottaras, who is a giant f***ing question mark, there doesn't appear to be another option in the entire system that has a chance of being an upgrade at this point.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 08:55 PM) BUT fire Don Cooper, haha. Made all the more remarkable by playing 81 home games at one of the most "offense friendly" stadiums in baseball on an annual basis. It's almost like you would expect those results in Old Comiskey Park...but US Cellular Field, no freakin' way. Talk about anomalies. Of course the irony of those 2000-2006 offenses was the "all or nothing" nature of most of their outputs, but you had so many guys capable of hitting homers, KW felt that was at least more entertaining for the fanbase. Now what are we getting? WAR is park adjusted.

This has got to be our best opportunity to score a run while Keuchel is pitching.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 08:51 PM) Webb is up. Which is the right call IMO.
