If Saladino is here to stay, it'll be interesting to see who's dropped

Don't have hope don't have hope don't have hope

EJax sighting!

QUOTE (almagest @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 05:25 PM) LOL at Cubs fans booing Sale as he left. Classy bunch. I mean, he barely beat their ace. It's not fair.

That was a terrible wave around.

at the cameraman's stare into the camera.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 05:06 PM) Micah is going to have a lot of pressure on himself to improve his defense during his next call up. He's done as a major leaguer in Chicago if he butchers such an easy position. Fans will boo him out of town. You sound like someone who's never played second.

Oh my god I thought it was gone.

Sale can really work a count.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 04:59 PM) Carlos Sanchez is just a disaster offensively. I want Micah back up here after the All-Star break. I want to combine them into Micah Sanchez.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 04:56 PM) Would you guys pinch hit for Sale here? Nah, I want to see his home run.

Aight, I'll give Greg some props for Flowers. He allows an extreme amount of passed balls and isn't a world beater, but at least he's not anemic right now.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 04:50 PM) Wow, Bryant having a tough day. That's the savior of baseball for you.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 04:41 PM) You are speaking like somebody who has announced games before. These guys need to kill time and have stuff to talk about. If all you do is praise Sale then you become one of the homer hacks who broadcast for all the other teams. Stoney was talking about Minnie beating Detroit last night; Hawk was talking about another game just now. Let's face it. We're spoiled with having great announcers on the south side. Listen to other teams except for Scully and they suck. Hawk knows announcing. Announcing what, major league baseball? Because I have announced sporting events multiple times. Hawk is the ultimate homer. I have no idea where you're getting any other idea. That's why he's talking about Buehrle. Because Buehrle was here for such a long time and is engrained in White Sox lore. Hawk is THE homer in sports. And you know how you fill broadcast time? Providing supplemental information about players in the game you're watching. Go back and watch the games where Swirsky was doing the play-by-play. I learned so much about players from each team and no one was compared to Mark Buehrle, Rod Carew, Catfish Hunter or Carl Yastrzemski

For some reason, Lester having the top button of his jersey open is irking me.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 04:33 PM) Now you're getting anti-Greg. You can love the Sox and worship Buehrle. Hawk proves that in his commentary. Right. I love Buehrle. He's one of my favorite athletes of all time because he created a great career out very little natural talent for a pitcher. He worked hard at all facets of the game - pitching speed, defense, holding runners - to become a great pitcher. He plays for the Blue Jays now and we've got a better pitcher going for the White Sox today. I want to know about Chris Sale, not Mark Buehrle. If I wanted to hear about Mark Buehrle five times a game, I'd watch the Blue Jays.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 04:30 PM) He's catering to those of us who worship Buehrle. Be a Blue Jays fan?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 04:19 PM) I am sure if Toronto offered Buehle for Sale you would do that in a heartbeat. But the Dodgers have Walker Buehler

Not gonna strike out 21 at this rate Mr. Sale.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 03:23 PM) OMG Rose makes more than 26 mill a year? What a waste. That shocks me he makes that kind of money. Another guy not worth the $$$. Rose's adidas contract is the big chunk of it.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) Just say he's the richest sports figure in Chicago. Big first inning for Sale. It's obvious Lester has nothing today. His ball isn't popping at all. Hopefully Sale is Sale again today! That'd be Derrick Rose.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 03:14 PM) "Jon Lester is the best pitcher in Chicago!" Can't wait to stop hearing that. He's like what, fifth?

Hell, I missed Saladino's first awesome MLB hit. Abreu is such an intelligent player.

The Cubs strike out nearly 25% of the time, good for second highest rate in the majors. Cubs, meet Chris Sale.

ChiSox Bar and Grill, the sports bar attached to the stadium, has great food. Not badly priced either.
