QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 10:54 PM) Wow crazy. All of my family is Tiger fans. Grew up liking Frank Thomas. Stuck with them ever since about '96 or 7 Most of mine is too. Come with being 45 minutes from Detroit. My mom bought me White Sox shirts from Value City and that's how I liked them. Do you like a lot of the other Chicago teams? Or just the Sox?

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 10:49 PM) Yup lol and all sox fans. Nice What made you get into the Sox instead of the Tribe, or Tigers? Noonskadoodle actually grew up a few houses from me but went to private school instead of public so we never met.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 10:46 PM) Toledo born and raised is where I spent most of my days/fresh prince You, Noonskadoodle, and I were all from the same area? I love it.

Letting them off the hook is going to bite them in the ass later.

Come on, guys...

Mario the Tigers' play-by-play guy went "uh-oh" as soon as Abreu launched it.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 05:26 PM) Even if Gordon has improved, he's about to get expensive and then we lose control the year after that. Even if he has turned a corner, it makes all kinds of sense to cut ties with him. Put me on the record - if we sell high on Gordon and he turns into a perennial all-star, I don't care. We've seen too much bad for this to make sense. There is little incentive to keep him considering how pricey he gets next year in his final year of arb...and if he becomes worth that high price tag, then we have to pay him an assload as a FA to keep him around. I'll let him prove himself for somebody else and we can always think about signing him as a FA. For now, we have Semien, Johnson, Sanchez, and Saladino that could all contribute at that position. Hell, I'm still on the "teach Conor Gillaspie 2B" bandwagon. I can get behind most of this. Not really on the Gillespie 2B wagon, but can't hurt to try right?

Verlander has been pretty terrible his last 5 outings, so I'm expecting 8 IP / 3 H / 0 R out of him tonight.

Finally broke down Porcelain.

Oh, yeah. I forgot about him.

Did they ever say how long Ventura was extended for?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 12:13 AM) My official stance has changed. There is at least a chance he's back for 2-3 years. Interesting. I take it they're going to try to sell Viciedo while his value is high? I figured Viciedo has DH written all over himself in 2015.

How is Jackson falling this low?

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 11:29 PM) Ain't that the truth! It made up for the s***show 6th inning on Monday night. Scouting the talent, eh?

LOL at no Sale.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 31, 2014 -> 10:35 PM) I guess we hear different things, because from the sound of it Bernstein doesn't even watch baseball games. He simply logs onto Fangraphs and then regurgitates whatever the most Saber-centric article he can find that day. I will admit he has been less of a hater of the White Sox as of late, definitely due to Hahn, but he's hardly a true fan of the team. And IMO, he'd love to see the Cubs win a World Series because it would prove Theo and all other Saber guys are geniuses, which includes himself. Theo already proved SABRmetrics work. 2004, 2007. Not to mention Mozeliak in St. Louis has won two also. Plus Ben Cherington's 2013 Red Sox...

Too bad. When I couldn't afford MLB.TV (when I was in middle school...) I used to love looking forward to WGN games here in Ohio. Indians, Tigers, FOX, and ESPN feeds were convenient being in the central...but it was always nice to get the home feed back then.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 30, 2014 -> 12:29 PM) YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES I GET TO SEE HIM Ditto

Will the Sox go for someone they want to plug into the majors this year (like they did with Sale) or do you think they go the regular route?

No!!! Monday? I'm coming from Toledo to the Cell on Sunday Missed him by one game.

Rienzo's numbers are slowly starting to get better. Last three starts: 4.05 xFIP First four starts: 5.64 xFIP Currently sits at: 5.36 FIP/4.84 xFIP/4.77 SIERA.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 18, 2014 -> 06:26 PM) Sign me up then. Ditto.
