QUOTE (LDF @ May 31, 2015 -> 09:21 PM) Masterson performance on a another team will not tell the story if he was with the sox. plus lets look at what he was done this yr. 2-2 win/lost and a 1 yr contract. filling in on the sox as a #4 starter, who knows what that could have done or helped. Well the pattern seems to be players worse when they join the Sox.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ May 30, 2015 -> 09:44 AM) The Twins have a had a pretty easy schedule. Now the Royals are 29-18 while the Twins are 28-19. Kansas City vs. teams +.500 is 20-13 while Minnesota vs. teams +.500 is 9-11 So Kansas City has played 33 of 47 games against good teams in essence while Minnesota has played 20 of 47 games against above .500 opponents. But the Twins are winning games they're supposed to if they want to be a good team so credit to them. Anyone keep up with the Twins/Blue Jays game last night? Buerhle gave up 4 runs and 5 hits in the first inning. Then faced the minimum the last 8 innings only giving up 1 hit. Buerhle had 45 pitches after 2 innings, then only 66 the last 7 innings. Edit: Just saw the Rays are under. 500 now so that means only 17 of 47 games for Minnesota have been with teams at or above. 500. That's where you take advantage. The has been the Sox weakness for some time.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 31, 2015 -> 09:24 AM) They were pissed he was signed, and even more pissed he made the team out of sprimg training. I thought it was great as a utility infielder. It's probably their best FA signing.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 31, 2015 -> 03:52 PM) Danks is so frustrating. You never know which one you're going to get. The overall staff hasn't been consistent. If he wins 14 games they might see the postseason.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2015 -> 10:38 PM) Did you see Jared Mitchell was 2-for-40 before the Sox released him? LOL. He was a first rounder in 2009. Now what possessed the Sox scouts to think that guy could hit and wasted a No. 1 pick on him?? I bring him up cause this is the putrid offense thread and it even permeated our minor leagues. Kottaris and Leury are both hitting over .300 by the way so they might as well be brought up. He was probably one of those 2 sport guys Kenny always liked.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 30, 2015 -> 06:52 PM) So the White Sox didn't score vs.a pitcher with an ERA under 2.00, without Abreu in the line up, and more panic sets in. Now scoring zero is Sanchez's fault. LMAO Glad someone pointed this out. It's not like losing to Bruce Chen.

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 30, 2015 -> 05:05 PM) I don't really have any expectations for the rest of this season, so how does Hahn make this team a playoff contender next year? The pitching staff looks as good as advertised, but there are just no difference makers on offense. Free agency looks incredibly weak at C and 3B...how does Hahn make this better? Avoid signing career NL players. My defense of LaRoche is he has to adjust to a new league of pitchers.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 30, 2015 -> 05:40 PM) You fix the mess by having a farm system that produces Major League Baseball players. Until we have that, get used to suckiness to mediocrity. Unless you can go out and give $100 million contracts to the best free agents, the building of a consistently contending team must be done through the farm system. I guess my answer is simple: Fire Buddy Bell and clean house in the rest of the player development side at least the "hitting" people. This is why trading for prospects is a dead end unless they are ready to play. How bad would Avi be if he spent more time in the farm system. I guess they don't want Rodon there either.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 30, 2015 -> 05:47 PM) Usually not all on one team. LOL!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 30, 2015 -> 05:39 PM) So sick of Stone EVERY loss saying we faced the guy on his best game of year. Stone should say no surprise against this s*** offense. I prefer to listen to the opposing broadcast.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 30, 2015 -> 05:42 PM) Sad Sox hitters actually get paid to be this bad all year. MLB is full of players like that.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 30, 2015 -> 05:30 PM) Jennings nice job again sir. You guys do realize Flowers back behind the plate this inning. This is the weakest position on the team and how many teams could make it to the playoffs under those conditions. It's probably the weakest position in the organization.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 30, 2015 -> 05:17 PM) I would say being last in spending in the draft from 2007 to 2011 shows Sox passed on a ton of guys. They couldn't develop them anyway.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 30, 2015 -> 05:06 PM) The list of grievances against Robin is greater then the number of runs this team scores in a week. Bad Baserunning over his tenure is just one of many. Playing LaRoche against so many LHP is another That one goes on a lot people in the organization. It's been that way this century.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 30, 2015 -> 05:02 PM) Yawn. 30-19, in 1st place by 5 games. He must be doing something right anyway. +1

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 30, 2015 -> 04:39 PM) Ya, unfortunately I don't see that happening. Sox are in a bad situation organizationally. That's what happens when you can't develop any position players though. and Mr. Reinsdorf seems content with that

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 30, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) Avi awful young to already have knee issues. Carlos Quentin clone.

KO'd the side!

Watched the highlights. This team looked good.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 29, 2015 -> 05:07 PM) Just a fact.The funny thing is the guy that actually put the team together was Tallon. Former Blackhawk long time Bill Wirtz guy. and they got better when Bill died

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 29, 2015 -> 04:59 PM) The first guy he hired was from the very picture of winning organizations the Cubs LOL! What a reach.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 29, 2015 -> 04:56 PM) If the Sox don't start winning more games, Sale is going to be the first guy to ask out IMO. I would honestly consider trading him to the Red Sox at the deadline this year. Hahn could get likely a king's ransom from them if they are a couple back in July. Start with Mookie Betts and go from there. What ransom would that be? More prospects that this organization would ruin because most of the kids coming through the organization will have a lower baseball IQ? I sure they could crank out a catcher who still makes Flowers valuable. I'm sure they could produce another Josh Fields.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 28, 2015 -> 02:01 PM) why not, they are paying a crap load of money to do nothing. all that crap that he was involve in must have died away by now. Oh the media would revive that mess. Supposedly it would offend people who live here and are waiting for things to improve back home. I bet Ozzie would turn them down anyway, BTW that situation with managers seems so "White Sox" except firing during the season. Trying to get a former experienced manager still drawing a salary is probably hard to do.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 29, 2015 -> 04:11 PM) why, he learned it all from $$ Bill of the BlackHawks. i am being honest here. And how did that change? Bill died. Son decides to line the organization with people from consistent winning organizations and not littering it with former players.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 29, 2015 -> 04:23 PM) Kite how is reinsdorf a problem. He consistently puts out a top payroll considering the lack of attendance. Do you think we should consistently spend more? Loyalty over accountability.
