Three recent injuries....Petricka, Ravelo, Siemens.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 26, 2012 -> 06:31 AM) So yeah, we've been able to cover up on the cheap with moves like DeAza, Humber...Quintana would be another example...but we've still got gaping holes (future-wise) at 3B and catcher. I would not be surprised to see AJ come back next year with another two year contract.

I'm surprised attendance has not improved.

I hope we sign the best hitter available, regardless of position.

I saw where Sox former first rounder Royce Ring is with Colorado Springs AAA team (Rockies org.).

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 22, 2012 -> 05:34 AM) Per the Tribune: How long does Robin stay with thornton?

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ May 21, 2012 -> 09:15 PM) Has he been questioned on this before or something?? I keep hearing hes a huge sports fan, I got a feeling he can name them all Last year on national TV, he threw out the first pitch at National's game (or tried to), and then he went up the press box for the typical shallow interview. Interviewer (one of the FOX TV guys) remarked about his well known status as a Sox fan. So then the announcer asked him to name his favorite Sox player, and he could not name one. All he could do was "er, ah, a." Then he got out of it by saying he likes the Cubs, too. The announcer let him off the hook.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 22, 2012 -> 04:56 AM) Lillibridge is on pace to get about 20 less AB than he received last year. He hit some homers last year at a pace he's not ever hit them. I think it was more of a fluke than anything else. Josh Fields is hitting over .300 in AAA. Maybe KW should pick him up, since guys who can't field and haven't hit in the majors in several years but have hit well in AAA seems to be a popular thing. Where is Josh Fields playing?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ May 22, 2012 -> 07:53 AM) Joe Mauer only has 1 home run this year. Yikes. So did Pujois when we played Angels last week. Now he has 3.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ May 21, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) I heard that and can't fathom why he made it plural. Misspoke? I wonder if he can think of the name of one Sox player yet.

Crain was dead ass lucky to get out of that inning. Castro swung at ball four, questionable strike to Soriano, and that last one to Stewart????

He'll groove one to Stewatr.

Get Crain out of there.

Shoemaker with another 3 hit game.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 19, 2012 -> 10:08 PM) I have no idea who Terrence Marin is, but he is having a nice season out of the pen. He is another free agent, non-drafted, signing. I don't have any stats to back this up, but it sure seems as if Sox have a lot of free agent signings in the lower minors.

My favorite Kerry Wood story occured right after he was drafted out of high school, but before he signed. His HS team was in the State tournament, and Kerry pitched both ends of a double header against two different teams, threw something like 230 pitches. How about that high school coach?

QUOTE (flavum @ May 19, 2012 -> 06:41 PM) For the record, i don't have a problem with the military, I just don't need Fox to cram it down our throats while the game is going. Before the game, 7th inning stretch, fine, whatever. During the game, shut the f*** up Thom. That was one awful interview.

Sounds like there are a lot of Sox fans at Wrigley, both yesterday and today.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2012 -> 05:36 PM) I don't think a "Bulging disk" is a career threatening injury. That's the injury both Todd Helton and Rafael Furcal had in 2008. Both had surgery.

Looks like we have two very good young 3B prospects in Ravelo and Silverio, ages 20 and 21. I hope they both get moved up this year.

I wish I were Reed's agent.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 18, 2012 -> 01:41 PM) Tank is probably never going to be much of a fielder, but he can throw. If Dunn is in left, the ball goes through.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 17, 2012 -> 05:24 AM) And Juan Pierre dropped another routine fly ball We should have played Juan Pierre at third base.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 16, 2012 -> 09:02 AM) Pujols had three hits last night All infield hits.

Mabee gave up his first runs at Birm'm
