QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 10:19 PM) It's upsetting to me that instead of being happy and excited that the Sox won, I am more relieved that I don't have to hear the Cubs fans. Maybe I am weak and should know better but I am not the s*** talking type and the Cubs fans I deal with tend to be. I am going to the game Sunday as well so I wanted to be in good shape going in just so I don't have to deal with meatheads. Obviously I am biased, but does anyone else feel like your regular Cubs fan is an especially uneducated fan? I am sure it has a lot to do with them losing 90+ games three out of the last four years and not winning a playoff game since Bush's first term but I find myself just nodding at their weak attempts to make banter. Yes, the Cubs have more fans at their Cubs and yes, if the season ended today the Cubs would be in the playoffs. I am just not phased. They just seem out of the loop. Some guy was giving me s*** at the golf course and I tried to change the subject and said, "Is Rondon not the Cubs closer anymore?" and he said "Rondon is on the Sox." So I am not like, "No, not Rodon, Hector RONDON, the Cubs closer," and he says, "No it's Motte, the Cardinals guy, we don't have a Rodon." It's one guy, but still. So bad. Please Chris Sale, be the best Chris Sale you can be so I can relax when we lose 2-1 or 1-0 on Sunday for Quintana vs. Arrieta. Cubs have the second highest strikeout percentage in the majors. Sale gonna have some fun.

Defense was spectacular today and it confused me.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 06:15 PM) Ok, the Sale line got me. Sale will now go strike out 21 batters at Wrigley to break Wood's record at Wood's old stomping grounds.

I think Bonifacio or Conor will be gone before Gordon if Saladino is able to stick. Gordon is at least providing stellar defense, it just comes down to Saladino starting or being a utility player like Bonifacio was supposed to be. That means backing up the entire infield with the ability to go to the OF in a pinch.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 05:49 PM) That was fun! Like I said in the gamethread: These guys are having fun but we need to start scoring more, not sure how much longer we can continue to win scoring 3 or less Hitless Wonders 2.0?

DEFENSE?! Also, Sox are now 8-2 in their last 10.

HOT DAMN, SANCHEZ

Wow, that's a break.

All of these have been exciting double plays.

QUOTE (RaySox @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 04:05 PM) Imagine if he had nasty stuff AND control See: Sale, Christopher Allen

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) Not going to get a DP every inning Carlos. I blame this post.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) Another walk. How can someone have so much control problems and be a major league pitcher Cause he's got really, really good stuff.

Hendricks is now right handed Mark Buehrle. Never change Hawk.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) Well, this should stand. That was 100% a catch. But you see, we are the White Sox, they are the Cubs.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 03:47 PM) What the hell was that? I am so damn confused lol He didn't catch it. Nevermind he did catch it. This will take 10 min for NY to decide and we will get screwed over He actually did. It's all about the transfer.

WHAT THE f*** IS GOING ON?

Dear lord.

Great bunt by Rodon.

Came to chime in that Alexei's DP was sick as hell.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 11:59 AM) Maybe, but I am starting to get the feeling Gillapsie is next. They obviously don't like to put him in the field anymore. At least Bonifacio can PR. Agreeing with this. Robin clearly hates Conor's defense and his bat isn't even close to offsetting it.

Excited to finally see him up. Maybe we get a situation where he just keeps hitting, so he stays up.

Man, Delmonico has been on fire. Delmonico, Blackmar and Almonte are all intriguing. We traded Gordon Beckham and Alejandro De Aza for those three.

The only pitcher I want getting called up is EJ followed by Danks to the pen, otherwise this move doesn't help. Albers does nothing for me and Carroll is a good LR guy Saladino meanwhile would be intriguing.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 07:31 PM) I'm watching the Bartman story on ESPN Films. Some Cubs fans are just the worst... Saw that the same day as the highlight of the Cubs fan grabbing a ball from Adrian Gonzalez, which seemed to be massively celebrated.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 05:41 PM) Then waste your time working him out? They only have a few hundred thousand dollars left under this years cap number. Yeah, they're not working out him out for kicks and giggles. They know what signing him would mean.
