The Sir

In my defense, I missed Sanchez's double.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 30, 2016 -> 08:33 PM) Just started watching. Why did the poster go off on Sanchez when he got a double? Did he have a bad error? A Jimmy Rollins relay would have had Jones easily. Instead, Sanchez threw it seven feet up the third baseline.

I'm super glad Sanchez is up. He hit a rally-starting double last inning. I know I'm being a dick. I just hate wasting time on this clown.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2016 -> 08:23 PM) Dude. He started the entire rally Oh, so he's worthwhile because of one double in one game in April? Maybe Dewayne Wise is looking for a job, except he was a better hitter.

Can we end the love affair with Carlos Sanchez already? No speed, no power, no serious contact ability, no plate patience, and no arm. People hate on JB Shuck, but if Shuck sucks, how can you possibly justify Carlos freaking Sanchez?

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 05:26 PM) The Sox have limited trade options at this point, but I generally agree with you. Right now, I'd put Danks on the DL and bring Erik Johnson up. I recall reading somewhere that starters sometimes go through an early-season "dead arm" period in late April or May. If that's the case with Danks (and I'm not sure that it is), the 15-day DL might do him some good. But for the long-term, yes, the Sox need to trade for another starter this season. I wish we'd be open to trading Anderson as a centerpiece for a LH bat or solid starter.

Ugh. Getting beat by Nolan Reimold is the baseball equivalent of losing to the armed forces of Barbados. Maybe certain people can shelve the "Rodon higher ceiling than Sale" nonsense for a while, at least.

I'm afraid that's the game. Os pen is second only to ours.

QUOTE (harkness @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 05:32 PM) The middle of our infield defensively is definitely weaker than last year. Lawrie and Rollins have been solid, generally. This series isn't nearly enough to make me yearn for powerless, speedless goof Carlos Sanchez.

I hate the Orioles. Outside of Jones and Machado, everybody on this team f***ing sucks. Davis can go back to being the .196 hitting chump from 2014 and that moronic contract can cripple this stupid team for the next decade. f*** the trailer trash imbeciles who root for them too. Also, f*** Cal Ripen. Nobody actually gives a s*** about consecutive games played.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 08:31 PM) It really sucks but they just need to release him, it's not going to work. Time to move on and attempt to find an alternative, the guy is toast and I feel awful for him. Not at all trying to be a dick, but the guy is terrible at his job yet will never worry about his finances ever again. That's a luxury none of us have. So, no sympathy. DFA his ass.

The Nationals lost tonight, meaning the Sox and Cubs have the two best records in baseball. So, stat geeks, has that ever happened, after some minimum threshold like 20 games? It didn't in 1906, since the NL second place Giants had a better record than us...

Pretty sure we just got an audible "coño" from Avi. A female genitalia reference, for the monolingual amongst us.

Ugh. We have the best bullpen in baseball right now. Why would we put this dumpster fire in it? Bring up Shuck or Coats. We need more than a three man bench. What we don't need is a reliever who can't throw strikes and has been horrible for his entire career minus 2013. I guess he's getting a chance because he's allowed no walks in 10 innings this year. I don't think that'll continue, so I hope he's kept far away from any amount of "leverage" at all.

Tulo's a big reason I don't want Cargo. Ex Rockies are garbage after leaving that place. I'm amazed people thought he was a good acquisition for the Jay's last year- just look at his career splits. He sucks.

As a resident of the Dallas area, this is one of twelve or so games this year where my MLBTV package will do me absolutely no good. And I won't watch the local Rangers broadcast, because we totally cut the cable (which is a brilliant idea every other day of the year). Either my Rangers fan father-in-law would like to see his grandson tonight, or I'll end up watching Netflix and obsessively following Gameday on my phone...

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 10:00 PM) Woah, woah woah.....We are the only team in the AL who has had more than 1 shutout??? That can't be right...like at all. I checked it myself, day-by-day. It's true. The White Sox have three team shutouts, and the Astros, Angels, Indians, Rangers, Jays, Rays, Royals and Tigers each have one. In the land where pitchers hit, there have been way more. Just remember how the Dodgers started their season.

Without Danks, by my calculation, ERA is 2.10, BAA is .195 and WHIP is .92.

Avila sucks. I keep telling myself that, while he might not have done much yet, it's awesome that he sees so many pitches. And yet, for all of that, he has two walks in seven games. Seriously, he should just not swing and hope for the best.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 08:48 AM) Please regale us with your guys Thai whorehouse crusade. We'd love to hear the real story. Why did a couple nobodies from America feel empowered to go put these children in even greater risk? Surely they understood there are more intelligent diplomatic ways to help address this problem, right? I don't disagree with you. There's a fair amount of evidence to suggest that pimps suspect legitimate aid groups from working with these rescue missions and therefore cut their girls off from vital assistance provided by those groups. So it's fair to say that these rescues may do more harm than good. I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is people suggesting that Adam was actually there to score underaged prostitutes. Especially when it comes from a post using language like "Jesus freak", it seems less like principled disagreement and more like bigoted trash.

I'm pissed at Laroche. I have a young son. I wish I could bring him to work with me. But I can't. And I certainly couldn't bring him in and let him become the center of attention like Drake was. And if my job performance sucked last year, I know that any generosity my employers might have had towards me would have ended real quick. So I get it, and I am certainly on the White Sox' side. That said, can ya'll chill with the Bangkok conspiracy talk? It's moronic and juvenile, to be honest. I doubt these missions actually help sex slaves and I'm personally uncomfortable with being around pimped out preteens in bikinis, but I am 100% confident that Laroche and Boyer were not there to diddle Thai "ladyboys". Some of the comments just make it seem less like you're pissed at what he did (sucking at baseball, demanding special treatment and abandoning his teammates- which is fair IMO) and more pissed at who he is (which is douchey).

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 08:15 AM) True, he could have drawn out something he wouldnt have won, but its still him telling a different story than what happened. What set KW off was Drake standing on the mound taking PFP instead of his actual pitchers. Is there an article you found this in, or do you just know this stuff via your inside connections? If there's an article out there, I'd be interested to read the whole thing.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 08:25 AM) Who is Carter? I thought Cody Anderson was pitching for them today. I can't find any Carter on CLE's roster. No idea where that came from.

So what if we replaced Quintana with Shark? A 2017 rotation of Sale, Q, Rodon, Fulmer and Sanchez sounds nice.
