QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 7, 2016 -> 10:01 AM) I see you are enjoying the 20-10 start. You must be a treat to be around.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ May 6, 2016 -> 08:18 AM) The only thing that could hold Rodon back is his command. His 'stuff' has every chance to be as good as Sale's. He also has a better frame that should allow him to be a complete workhorse. I 100% agree with this, which is why if he gets to that level, it becomes beyond maddeningly exciting and tantalizing to think of he, Sale and Quintana back-to-back-to-back in the postseason. What a force to be reckoned with! You'd bump that trifecta up against anyone's, I'd imagine. Now if we can just get to the playoffs to test this hypothesis!!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) No, Eaton too good in RF. doesn't mean CF acquisition should be out of the question if he continues to flop for another 40-50 games. Good answer to a bad question, Fathom

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 5, 2016 -> 06:39 PM) That's why I asked you, Mr. 35 years. Sorry, not following. 35 years?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 5, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) How many people do you think hold 35 year grudges against a product? I don't know. Go ask someone who is holding such a grudge.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 5, 2016 -> 10:31 AM) IMO, everyone's excuse is just as legit as anyone else's. I just don't think anyone should call out the team for not spending like the Cubs, and acting sort of small market. Teams don't spend $200 million on payroll in a hope to draw fans. They spend it when they have those fans locked up. I always find it curious many of the people calling the attendance lame weren't at the game. And it was so cold last night. I took my dog out for a walk after the game and couldn't believe it was May. Although the coldest I ever was at a game was a Cubs/Sox game at Wrigley in late May around 2006 or so. The wind was blowing straight in off the lake. It felt like it was about 15 degrees, and it was a week before June. Economics 101 would largely disagree with this postulate. The consumer doesn't invest in the product until the product is deemed worthy of doing so. The producer of the product must first invest in it in such a way that it is appealing to the consumer, after which the consumer will become loyal to the brand. Not the other way around.

QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ May 4, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) MLB identified numerous problems with those tests, including that legal supplements could cause positive results. I don't think the claims against Ortiz are at all credible, and I'm not alone. The Clinton thing was an analogy to make my points about accusations. Not a comparison of the security of the two acts. Lol - nice try. Ortiz' failed test was confirmed by the players' union. The guy is an unequivocally genuine, dyed-in-the-wool cheater.

QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:52 PM) If we're calling Ortiz a cheat because of the 2009 PEDs thing, we should probably discuss Bill Clinton being a rapist, too. Accused of the crime, but probably did not commit it. Let's lay off the dude. More than accused - he failed a drug test. Therefore, he probably did commit the crime.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) And Melky? Toss him in, too. I'll manage without him.

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) Yeah, his universal belovedness has been confusing to me for a long time now. Roll him up with the other cheater Manny and throw 'em in the trash with Bonds, Sosa, McGuire and all of the other cheatin' bums.

ESPN glorifying the cheater Ortiz tonight and all of the season the way they are is beyond nauseating.

With the Sox getting some rare national coverage tonight on ESPN, how nice would a come-from-behind be!

With late inning scoring being the '16 specialty, one could say they have us right where we want them!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 4, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) You should ask for more and better things

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 4, 2016 -> 07:17 PM) ESPN is so far up Boston's ass that they have a special Fenway Park graphic for Buchholz They had one for Rodon, too, with the scoreboard pinwheels in it.

A pleasure watching Q excel at his craft yet again this evening.

Late inning runs a plenty in '16!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 3, 2016 -> 09:20 AM) Thanks. I'm always kind of upset when I see these threads about how bad Hawk is or has become. The lack of sentiment seems hurtful to me. It's hard for me to understand how any Sox fan can dislike Hawk or go from liking him to disliking him. To me it's like disliking your grandmother because now that she has Alzheimers she can't remember who you are. Just because that old dog is now a pain in the ass doesn't mean you stop loving him and forgetting all you've been through together. Bravo, Sir! Wonderfully said.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2016 -> 08:48 PM) If by "working quite well" you mean "turning the game threads into unreadable cesspools of drama and hormones", then yes, I agree. Wish you could just enjoy the long overdue winning our team is experiencing and let go of the misery witch hunt!

Bases loaded once again. Time to break this thing open!

Sale completely aced Davis.

Vintage Hawk, and I'm with him.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:15 PM) The White Sox just punched the Blue Jays in the mouth. High scoring offense shut down by superior pitching. Bueno! I would certainly take my chances with this pitching in the postseason. Just get there, Boys. Just get there!

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 09:25 AM) Everyone in Chicago less the Bulls broadcast team is better than Hawk. He took over for Santo. And yeah, Jason Benetti asks Stone a lot of questions. He should, because Stone is the best single asset to the White Sox media program, with Benetti a close second now. Ah, see? This is where your misunderstanding lies. Nobody in Chicago is better than Hawk.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 08:07 PM) Name one worse. King, maybe. That list is too long. No time for that. The shorter list is trying to name one better.
