QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 6, 2013 -> 03:34 PM) Now that makes WAY more sense to me. I also feel like the White Sox feel they could make a move involving a starting pitcher for some real offensive players in the off-season. I think the Sox will work really hard to try to find a middle of the order 3B or SS for one of their starting P's. If they can get a guy or two to plug into the line up, the may feel they can compete at some level next year, especially if some of the younger players can show signs of life going into next year. If Beckham continues to hit, Phegley gets past the growing pains, Garcia seems like a real starter, and Viciedo keeps hitting like he has the last month, the offense has a whole lot better chance of pushing this team forward. We have a great potential rotation, and guys knocking on the door for the bullpen, plus the obligatory reclamation projects for pitching. This is a 90 win pitching staff. They just need to find an 80 offense and defense to go with it. Yahoo Sports has a good article on Viciedo. Tone of the article suggests Viciedo will not be back next year. Article says Manto, Baines and Ventura have basically given up trying to install some disciple to his swing. His jammed thumb from last night might open the door for Garcia soon. Wouldn't be surprised if Viciedo goes on the DL.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 03:45 PM) and there we go. Axe man cometh. 9th walk off loss for the White Sox, most in the Majors. This team simply stinks.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 03:23 PM) Great piece of hitting Rios. Comcast on Yahoo sports reported Rios upset with Ventura for taking him out of last night's game. "Ventura should have spoken to me privately."

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 10:19 PM) Rios is screwing us over Rios repeatedly has said he wants to stay in Chicago. Loafing to first tonight was his way of spiking any deal that might have been in the works. He also has a partial no trade clause for about 6 teams. Angered RV but probably kept him in Chicago.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 02:53 PM) I don't feel like Danks's stuff is all that bad today he's just elevating the fastball too much. Ump has a high and wide strike zone today.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 02:10 PM) Alexei really is making it difficult for me to care if we move him. Had my fill of Alexi,won't shed any tears and can't believe that De Aza has one more RBI than Rios, with about 80 less chances. Rios can change uniforms too.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 01:01 PM) OMG Leyland back on the field. JUST STOP!!!! For the life of me,I have no idea why the Media treats the old man as some kind of God.Before he got to Detroit he had a losing record as a manager,and has blown both WS his teams have been in.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 09:29 PM) I'll make the prediction that the 4th outfielder next year isn't in the organization right now. I also will make a prediction that the Sox will give Mitchell some ABs at the MLB level at the end of this year. Google Mitchell's scouting report-not too good. Basically he's regressed into a projected below average hitter.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 01:04 PM) The Cubs already won the crosstown cup... this game is for both teams to showcase their players. Let the Fire sale begin. Time to move in a new direction... I know fast starts don't last,but I have to question the talent evaluation of the Sox scouts and Hahn. Phegley sat at AAA while Flowers wilted under the pressure. It seems Hahn and the coaching staff were bound and determined to play Flowers until it became obvious to even them that he didn't have what it takes.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 7, 2013 -> 01:48 PM) Gordon has somehow, someway relearned to hit. I thought that Phegley ball was long gone. Damn. One of the Baltimore broadcasters said the injury to Beckham's hand stops him from over-swinging as it heals and has worked to his advantage.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 7, 2013 -> 01:26 PM) I think there's a solid chance the Sox don't win another game before the break. Maybe if Sale shuts down the Tigers completely they get a win, but we've seen how that's gone lately. Watching the game with the mute on. The Rays broadcasters are terrible. Must have hired the lowest bidders. No personality,mono-tone and the colorman is a jerk.Nothing but rehashed info.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 06:55 PM) Damn I thought Hawk was about to announce Phegley got called up. Such a tease. Me too.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 06:22 PM) You didn't think he'd go the whole series without a homer, did you? Ex-Cub curse just struck the Brewers. Arimas Ramerez fails to score from third on a one out sac fly while Ramerez was slowly trotting home, Ricky Weeks was being doubled off second, forgot how many outs and broke for third on the fly, outs recorded before Ramerez touched home plate..

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 06:07 PM) Phegley with his 15th homer of the year. You have to wonder if they go ahead and make the change after this month and give Phegley a shot to show what he can do. Flowers is the Sox only hope for a return on the Yankees trade.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 07:10 PM) It would be great if they could dump Flowers sometime in the next month. 22 Strike out vs one walk in June. Projects to about 130 SOs

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 07:05 PM) He's also been hitting well since he came back . I'd bat Alexei 1st and Beckham 2nd. Put DeAza 6th against righties since he's 3rd on the team in HR's. Makes sense since De Aza is 7th in the AL RISP.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 06:59 PM) Robin hardly ever changes the lineup . Maybe we do but he won't. Balt announcers saying Beckham still suffering from the hand injury. But needed in the lineup.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 06:50 PM) Basically Pasadena. Orange county for many many years before leaving CA many years ago. Didn't realize De Aza had 18 RBIs in June.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 06:30 PM) Isnt he the PBP guy ? Yes,looks like we're the only ones on the board.Where you at in Ca?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 06:29 PM) Davis on 1st . Next hitter pops to right. Rios catches it throws to 1st for DP only Davis called safe. Replay shows he's out . No argument from Sox. Baltimore announcers both said he was out

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 06:21 PM) Danks 3 up 3 down 1st inning. Oriole color guy calls Viciedo DH masquerading as a LF'er. Alexei doubles. Rios 1 for last 20. K's on 3 pitches. Dunn pops out to left. That's Gary Thorne who called Sox games in the 80s.He also says the cell is a pitchers park. Didn't offer any reason for the statement.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 07:41 PM) He should be after that base-running gaffe. I think,and I could be wrong,this was the second time he didn't pickup McEwings stop sign in time during the game,the first time he was able to to get back because the ball went to the wrong base.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 05:23 PM) Anyone still having hope for the 2013? Anyone remember the lawsuit WSNS-44 brought against Reinsdorf for fielding an inferior product? He had to reconfigure the TV contract.May need a class action suit against him to get some changes in the front office.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 04:37 PM) They also wouldn't get the extra roster spot for tomorrow so someone would have to be sent down and wait 10 days before coming back. Sox are playing like they're the ones who arrived at 2:30 AM.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 11:39 AM) Yeah, I don't get it. Makes me wonder if they're close to making a deal and Morel will be staying. Probably not, but it's odd they aren't bringing up an arm. Gillaspie is listed 3rd behind Paulie and Dunn at first on the depth chart.Possible insurance if Pauie has to go on the DL because of back problems.
