Ugh that would mean I'd have to go look at Bruce's stats. I just refuse to do that

Wow Hendricks got 4 or 5 reeeeal borderline calls. Hope Shields gets em too

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) I'm tired of Cubz fans like Jeff Passan sh_itting on the White Sox and hoping that they tank for 10 seasons then move the franchise out of Chicago. Give Sale and the Sox a break already. This is a young man in a competitive game where emotions sometimes boil over. Sale might have had a few drinks before the game and came in a little tipsy and combative. The entire Sox organization from the players to upper management have been under a lot of pressure this year. Lts of close losses and heart breaking games. Fans, especially cubz fans, need to back the eff off. Wisdom.

If we are getting Joey frickin Gallo as a main piece I think I'll eat a plate of terds. I watcch him play alot and he sucks big ones.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 01:04 PM) I bet the numbers will ultimately surprise here come election day. I think Trump gets a huge bump from the "anti-Trump, but REALLY anti-Hillary" group. I agree with you here and the media is going to have their hands full trying to make people like Hillary. So far they've focused on making the country hate Trump enough to just vote for Hillary. But as the election gets closer and maybe Trump destroys her in debates, the media might have to switch tactics to convince people to like her. Like you alluded to- bottom line- the country doesn't want Hillary freaking Clinton in charge of everything. Mercy.

Is Q for Seager a good starting point for talks? Who needs to add more?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 02:09 PM) Correct, but to compare Baez and Avi as prospects is beyond ridiculous. Baez was a top 10 prospect in the game. Top 5 by many. Most teams don't sign a guy or guys that could keep that prospect blocked for several years. If Schwarber was around, he probably plays even less. I doubt Theo was anticipating year ending injuries the first week of the season. All I am saying is if they were sold on him being a great player, they don't acquire blockage. They create a spot for him whether they are trying to win a WS or not. Or if they think he will initially struggle , they may sign some sort of stopgap. Not a guy like Zobrist. He certainly didn't spend much money on his bullpen. I don't look at that part of the team as say this looks like the bullpen of a WS winner. Super spot on post. No debating any of that really. And like you said, there's a very very very likely chance he would get exposed if he played every day. Methinks they have been protecting him from good RHP exposure to flip him at the deadline.

Who's Chips?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 08:07 PM) I'd quit being a Sox fan if this happened. For real. Preston and Teoscar= meh.

Seems most of our affiliates are getting tons of hits most games. Definitely nice to see this batheaviness.

Just watched Bregman play in person last night. He is quick with the bat and the ball definitely sounds & jumps off his bat differently than most of the other guys playing. Looked super slick fielding at SS. But damn is he young looking. Also, I see Joey Gallo alot and that dude just sucks IMO. He's a super timid first baseman in that he's kinda scared for his foot during close plays at first. Plus he just swings for the fences every swing- extreme pull, boom or bust type. Chris Carter

Can't trade Sale, Harper etc without winning the trade on paper. All GMs know this so the potential hauls would be nintendo style. I love Chris and it's retarded to trade a HOFer but the idea of adding tons of top guys to our blossoming system sounds fun

I want Fulmer's first batter faced to be Mike Trout. Would be the hugest confidence booster if he got him out

http://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/...cards/95859/log So if you check out BA's page on Fulmer one thing that sticks out is his strike percentage. Perhaps the blatant increase can be explained by him working on something the first part of the year (like throw only changeups, pound the bottom of the zone, pitch only inside etc.). So maybe the more finished product has been unleashed the last month+. We'll see. For comparison's sake, Jose Quintana is hovering around a 62-63 strike%.

Wow! So what's the rotation schedule to start the second half?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) Good thing they didnt plan for this at all in the month he had already been gone. Ridiculous. This has to be trolling but I'll bite. You present this like the front office said "Ajax is hurt, let's plug in Shuck amd count on 100% recovery from Ajax quickly. No need to try to improve the glaring hole." They've been trying to get an amazing center fielder long before the Jackson signing and the search hasn't stopped since they signed him. It's ludicrous to think that because of a media report NOW we know the White Sox are looking for a CFer. They've been looking for about 19 years.

QUOTE (MnSoxFan @ Jul 11, 2016 -> 07:03 AM) Alvarez is setting quite a pace with RBIs Hell yea. What's his line since he snapped outa the funk?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 11, 2016 -> 09:42 AM) The early early to mid 00 spurs made me not like NBA basketball, the 2011-2013 spurs made me love it again. Well said. Ray Allen?

The guy lately who's been mentioning caulfield vs. keyboards is funny.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 3, 2016 -> 06:49 AM) Wha ..? No winners thread ? Classic see saw battle. Sox go for 4th series win in a row with Q on the bump. Theme song for the win is the Moody Blues " Ride My See-Saw" ( one of their best rocking songs IMO ) Haha funny! I also think it would be epic if we all got together sometime and sang "Knights" in White Satin. Just picturing all these dudes screaming "and I Love youuu!!!" at the white sox is funny to me.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 09:00 AM) Fister? I barely knew her. My alltime favorite one, thanks!

I really think he's an MLB starting shortstop. Glad we have him as spare parts.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 30, 2016 -> 08:53 AM) Davidson seems to me to be a guy that will do better in the majors than the minors. I have no rationale as to why but I think he will perform better. If he can play first base that would be huge because Abreu is an absolute butcher over there. Totally agree. Maybe something to do with guys being too wild in the minors and forcing too much just to get hits

Ynoa gets quite the wicked movement on that gyro slurve ball

What's his repertoire that's striking out all these batters? I think he only pitched one inning tonight since his promotion to Bham. Any thoughts if the Sox want him to log some reliever innings to see if he can help this year as a long man? Seems like a special case where that might work- must have electric stuff to get those K totals. Bobby Jenks 2.0?
