Suddenly Trayce is a can't miss prospect.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 10:52 PM) Did not look like a strike to me but hey when you're as bad as Flowers the pitcher will get the benefit of the doubt +1

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 10:21 PM) I wouldn't say "way" more. He has 44 HRs over the past 3 MILB seasons. Hitting just .240 in that span. I'm sorry but I just don't get the hype over his batting. I know he has a nice, patient approach, but other than that, I don't get it. He does have way more raw power. He's got a lot of it, just needs to utilize it.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 09:40 PM) Sox are gonna have to play great baseball to win a game this series. Angels have a good team and have to be incensed at their play on the road of late including in Chicago. In other words they want blood. Which is why they got swept last time. QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 09:45 PM) I see no way Gordon Beckham will be in the big leagues next season. Which begs the question. Is he one of the most disappointing players in White Sox history if not baseball history? He was a can't miss prospect and just could never hit the ball consistently. He'll be remembered as a guy who got hot a handful of times in his career when he was simply remarkable but 85 percent of the time he reeked. Do you all agree he's pretty much done? And will NOT be on a team next year? Dear lord the f***ing hyperbole in this post.

Wow.

Nice 1-2-3

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 07:50 PM) Marcus Semien now has more errors (31) than RBIs (28) Ooof.

I couldn't root against Nate if I tried.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 06:57 PM) I think that lineup would be fine for Charlotte next year. I never said it'd be for next year.

Ronda Rousey wants to be Captain Marvel. Hard pass.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 10:38 AM) Pretty sure people are able to enjoy having LeBron as a heel on the basketball court and appreciate he's a good human off of it. I'm sure Karl Malone and Reggie Miller were nice too. Not sure if you're serious about Malone, but he's a scumbag off the court.

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 03:37 PM) Too many bad starts. Those back-to-back 7 run starts were killers. He'd need to finish the season on another crazy run to have any shot. If anyone can do it, it's Chris Sale. I legitimately think he can break 20 Ks in a game. If he does that, I can see him taking the Cy Young.

With Sanchez coming around, if Anderson can rake at SS, I'd be more than happy with Saladino-Anderson-Sanchez with Micah DHing.

Sale would basically need to throw 15k shutouts for the voters to give it to him, becuase of how much stock is put in ERA

Dear lord.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Aug 16, 2015 -> 04:39 AM) you should see vin scully get excited about the dodgers. he's the consummnate pro, but he is a homer. I think announcers should be homers. But Hawk is the biggest one in baseball, possibly sports. To say he's not a homer is asinine.

Eddy Alvarez bless us with your strength.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 08:29 PM) 3 more times on base with a SB for Alvarez. Can't stop won't stop

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 11:45 PM) DJ better watch it. If anybody notices he could get the boot. It doesn't work except for announcers that are legends. Harry Caray had a Sox sidekick fired once cause he and the guy spent a rain delay trashing the team. They didn't blame Harry; they canned the sidekick after the season. Kudos to DJ but DJs are a dime a dozen. If the team gets mad he'll be shown the door.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 11:37 PM) It's the definition of homer. Hawk CRITICIZES the team he works for. He did it again tonight. Why can't you guys admit NOBODY else in baseball does that??? He bites the hand that feeds him and it's GREAT. The Royals announcers like most mock the opposing team as part of their biting commentary. The Royals can NEVER do any wrong and it's sickening. Hawk is different! Well for starters, DJ does it way more than Hawk. That's just in town. The Royals also have the second worse broadcaster in baseball, Rex Hudler. (The worst is Tim McCarver)

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:34 PM) Nice blue font Cubs fan

Everyone keep the name calling and insult flinging to a minimum in this thread. Thank you.

If you guys didn't see, LeBron is putting 1100 Akron kids through college at the University of Akron. The tuition cost would be roughly $41.3M. It's not out of pocket supposedly (he has an agreement with the school) but DAMN if that isn't amazing thing by him. I'll always sports-hate him, but holy s*** he really is an amazing person.
