Damnit Jose.

Damnit.

Come on Tyler. Get a single.

Damnit Avi.

Yency Almonte, a legit starting prospect, was acquired for two months of Gordon Beckham.

Damn. Sucks to hear.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 11:16 PM) Bad compounds bad, in a way Hawk is a victim of the White Sox failure to consistently compete, if he were the long time announcer of the cardinals he may be fine but with the Sox it wares thin. Nah, McCarver is worse. So is Rex Hudler. Hawk really just needs to be a color guy or paired with someone different than Stone.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 10:55 PM) Maybe, maybe not. They took Bryant over Gray in 2013 when Appel/Gray were the consensus top 2 picks. The FO and scouting department over there has done quite a nice job the past few years. Reports were all over the place that Theo coveted Rodon.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 08:52 PM) You guys realize that in 8 months we're going to be bumping this series of posts after he somehow is a key player in beating the Bulls in the playoffs after a mediocre, otherwise little-noticed season, right? Oh duh, he'll show up vs. the Bulls. Not the west.

My favorite sales are always buy 1 suit get ____ free. Jos. A. Bank once had buy one suit get one suit, two shirts, two ties and a smartphone free.

I just wish Hawk would utilize the pause more. He used to be a very good announcer. Now...really bad.

Richard Jefferson is their Mike Miller this year. Basically worthless.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 06:35 PM) They have been extra pissy since they lost the White Sox broadcast. No big surprise as their entire schtick is this kind of broadcasting. I can't wait for the Sox to move so I can take them off of my dial. I'll still listen to Laurence, that's about it.

If Rodon is on the table, the Cubs take him over Schwarber. And I'll take the potential of an ace lefty over a DH, no matter how good.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 03:59 PM) Schwarber's going to end up winning ROY over Bryant and Joc. That would be the most absurd ROY ever. Remember how Gordon was basically penalized for only playing 100 games? Schwarber will finish with around 60 games.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 02:26 PM) Weren't the Nats the greatest collection of young talent ever put together, and they would dominate the game 18 months ago? What happened? Well, what happened is they really pissed off the baseball gods... QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 02:28 PM) Good thing they rested Strasburg during the 2012 playoffs. ...with this move.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) I've seen enough. The Blue Jays are the best team in baseball and the Mets have the best starting staff I've ever seen. Barring an all-time run to propel the Sox into the playoffs, this is the World Series I want to see.

Richard Jefferson sucks.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) Considering the circumstances, Uribe's catch out-ranks them all. Diving over the wall in the bottom of the 9th of a 1-run World Series clinching game with a runner on 2nd base. And no one will ever talk about it outside of the South Side.

Everyone should hop aboard the Omar Narvaez hype train.

Talkin' baseball and stuff.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 10:49 AM) I don't know about anyone else, but I think I am more excited by seeing some of the signings from the DSL start to hit the states, and not only a guy like Micker who was a big time signing, but guys who didn't get seven figure bonuses. What a huge shot in the arm for the system to have these guys start filling up our minor league system when we went for a period of years with literally no talent coming from Latin America. It really is exciting. The system has made huge strides, but hopefully it can come even farther.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 09:04 AM) So Uribe's World Series 9th inning catch into the stands doesnt get any love? Rizzo made the "catch of the century" against a terrible Brewers team fielding a AAA lineup? It was a really good catch, but goddamn there have been better catches in bigger moments. Hell, Dewayne Wise's catch was better given the circumstances Right. This one was cool. But we've seen cooler.

I've disliked Albers on the roster since Nate came back up since I think they need a true LR like Carroll. But damn, he was brilliant last night.

Yeah, Robertson is right. Bush league by Scioscia.
