Quin

Has anyone other than Cowley or Bernstein reported on this mythical beef?

I'm going with my friend that's a Cards fan, so it'll be a good time.

Ugh I hate that this has to be a thing. Can't they go on a stupid hot streak like the 2010 team?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 28, 2015 -> 07:05 PM) What fan base? They are already bottom five in attendance and basically irrelevant in Chicago. This is 5 under .500 seasons in 7 years. Would anyone even notice if they tanked for a few years ? Disappears even more I guess?

Montas struck out six in six innings, two walks and only two runs. At Montas is dealing this year. Casey Schroeder starting his career off nicely.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 28, 2015 -> 06:11 PM) Yes I think intentionally losing for 5 years when you have arguably the second biggest fanbase is cheating. Busch all around. Taking a dump on all the hard work the small market teams do and adding flies to the pile by handing Lester a cool 150. Way to go cubs. It's not cheating, but the Cubs are the only ones who could pull this off. The Sox have to basically go for it every year or the fanbase disappears. It just sucks that everything is going wrong this year.

CONTAGIOUS HITTING

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 28, 2015 -> 02:03 PM) Why is Emilio still on the roster Decent-ish beard?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 28, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) Yeah, they showed her crying after not getting the ball and Hawk said if she comes up to the booth I will give her a ball so someone went down and told her so she came up. Hawk gave her a ball and tickets to a game in September when the team comes back Ok. As someone that got drilled by a line drive when I was 8 only to have someone take it from me, that is really, really cool and extremely sweet of Hawk.

Two good defensive plays by Avi.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 28, 2015 -> 01:50 PM) Hawk and the booth did something fantastic for that girl who missed catching Melky's HR ball. They made her day I'm sure. Ok, so THAT'S why she was in there. I just saw a Tigers fan who looked uncomfortable next to Hawk and was really, really confused.

I'm really interested in how Heidenreich does this year in his second stint with the org. He's pitching well this year, though he's old for his level.

I don't know why, but this article makes me feel like Danks is headed to the pen soon. http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/133...s-danks-skipped

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 28, 2015 -> 01:45 PM) There can't be any way Alexei survives this season. He somehow hustled enough there.

This is the most awkward the booth has been all year.

Might go Tuesday.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 27, 2015 -> 04:24 PM) Next up players who got better leaving the Sox. Is the answer still Gio? Rowand?

But really; Eaton was good last year, Peavy was good for stretches.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 27, 2015 -> 12:03 AM) Scotty Pods? Sadly, this was my first thought.

Brilliant move Robin. Should have brought in Putnam.

Jose Quintana is the most cursed pitcher of all time.

FLOWER POWER

The offense is beginning to show life. I don't want to get my hopes up but I am. We'd be leading if Sanchez didn't have the luckiest catch ever.

Might be the luckiest catch I've ever seen.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 26, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) That is exactly what it looks like to me. Something is bothering him on the field. The last time we saw this was with his father in law. Started a thread not long ago, but if I had to guess, Minnie's death is really hitting him hard.
