QUOTE (flavum @ May 31, 2016 -> 07:28 PM) Anderson 2-3, double tonight Steve Stone suggested moving him. I can't see us doing that with Rolling being so bad.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 31, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) Ian Desmond is good So is Adrian Beltre. And Nomar Mazara. Also Jurickson Profar looks great.

Rangers pounding Cleveland. 6-2

Rangers have hung 5 on Kluber and he's done in the 8th.

QUOTE (ronkark @ May 31, 2016 -> 06:47 PM) Reality check for those pushing Todd Frazier for the All Star game. Offense: HR and run production very good. Average: terrible. .219. No all star should hit .219. Defense: Made some nice plays but some have compared to Crede. Frazier let two go under his glove that lead to runs in last couple weeks. Then tonight: two errors leading to two runs. U-G-L-Y But still not as bad as Abreu. Don't cite average. It's a meaningless stat relative to those that matters. His OPS+ is 121.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 31, 2016 -> 06:25 PM) Because they are incompetent in running an MLB franchise. More accurately, you can't trust an owner in his 80s to run a baseball team.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 31, 2016 -> 06:01 PM) I predict he's fired on Monday if they only win 1 game or less on this trip. I would be overjoyed but it ain't happening.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 31, 2016 -> 12:24 PM) Credit scores are crap. The more in debt you are, the better your score. How does having less money to spend equal a better credit risk? Agreed they're crap, but paid debt is more valuable than anything really. Paid debt is essentially credit, and therefore improves you debt to credit ratio. Once you own a car and have a mortgage, credit isn't super meaningful, but I sympathize with those with bad credit. I encourage parents out there to co-open a credit card with their children and only use it to pay the cable bill or something along those lines. That's a huge benefit for them going forward and you don't have to give them the card.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 30, 2016 -> 06:06 PM) There is certainly a lot of truth in what you say but there still appears to be questions in the minds of a lot of Sox fans how much real power Hahn has. He takes his orders too remember. I'd be more willing to put more "blame" on Rick if Kenny and his ego weren't around. Since they still are I simply don't know if it is totally fair to put a lot of blame on him yet. Mark That's why they almost have to fire Kenny, too so there is no doubt who is responsible for the player personnel.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ May 30, 2016 -> 05:58 PM) I'm not someone who says "Kill the bunt". But I think each team only has like 2 or 3 guys who should ever be bunting. Light hitting speedy players, a pitcher, or your #9 hitter, whom is theoretically your worst hitter in the line up that day. Your 3-5 hitters should NEVER f***ING BUNT, EVER. I can get on board with this. I can't believe a manager would bunt with a slow player having a strong season at the dish.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 30, 2016 -> 05:42 PM) Greg, they were up 7-1, 5-1, and 4-2 in the Royals series. The bullpen holds and it's a sweep. It's absolutely hyperbole. Have you seen the NL? Agreed. We are just not that bad.

Finally I feel like we are all watching the same game. Bunting just doesn't work, especially when your best hitter bunts.

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ May 29, 2016 -> 09:23 AM) That would be an absolute game changer for the White Sox Organization. The old post office seems to be living in development purgatory, so we have no idea when this will actually happen. We will likely never get public money for a stadium again. Illinois is in too much turmoil.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 29, 2016 -> 06:25 PM) Who exactly was the GM in 05 then? Name one stat that points to 2005 being anything more than an anomaly.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 29, 2016 -> 07:35 AM) Nothing questionable about the 9th? How about letting Robertson give up five runs and putting the tying run on 2nd before pulling him? How about after finally pulling him, then putting in a rookie into an extremely high leverage situation? How about walking the bases loaded (a day after failing to do so with their best hitter) with a pitcher on the mound having significant control problems? You can't only blame the players when the win expectancy after that first out was 99.9%. Like, there wasn't some bad call from an umpire. You know, the usual stuff that upsets Hawk. Just say you don't understand.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 29, 2016 -> 02:08 AM) How did Hawk handle that ninth inning? I had to watch it on TV here cause no mlb.com. I GUARANTEE damn tee you Hawk knows Robin deserves to be fired after all the bizarre things that have happened during his reign. Sure it's not all his fault; when we were 23-10 I thought he would be our manager the next 20 years, but he's a buffoon. No harm in not being able to manage. Problem is I don't want Buddy Bell and all of you people answer this question ... Do you want Buddy f***ing Bell to be in the dugout next week? If not, then we have to shut up and support Robin. No way Coop or any of the other guys in the dugout will be promoted. It's Bell the rest of the year. Then what if we play .520 ball somehow with him at the helm?? He gets a 3 year f***ing deal. He handled it fine, honestly. There was nothing questionable about the 9th, it just happened and Hawk could only watch.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 28, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) So that whole managing for today thing worked out really well... Any team with any pride would have put this nonsense out of its misery at least a season ago. Robin is getting worse and worse

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 28, 2016 -> 06:00 PM) this. That Ranger game was just the beginning. I thought Ventura had turned the corner...but obviously he's part of the problem. Get his ass the f@#$ outta here!....completely done after this game. Can't believe how pissed off I am over a GD baseball game right now....geezus. It's like a piece of our lives and (as a native Chicagoan) our culture exploding. It's devastating.

QUOTE (oldsox @ May 28, 2016 -> 04:26 PM) Hawk loves Buddy Bell. Hawk likes everyone in the Sox organization. Hawk is an imbecile

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 28, 2016 -> 05:24 PM) KW at least has been successful at getting White Sox fans to turn on each other for not supporting the team...instead of focusing their anger at the most appropriate targets. That's been his biggest accomplishment by far the last five years or so, protecting his job. Seriously, though. When does fandom get fun? It's like you knew they were going to blow the lead but you didn't want to believe it.

This is just the icing on the cake.

Mismanagement. Robin's forte. It makes me so angry, too because I loved him as a player.

Worst run team I can remember. How is JR okay with this? Fans will voice their frustration with their wallets which will swiftly be criticized by White Sox brass At least the Dollar Bill Blackhawks could draft

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 26, 2016 -> 06:34 PM) Can you replace a guy on the roster when suspended? I don't believe so, but Jurickson Profar will replace Odor at 2nd.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ May 26, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) Outside of batting Rollins second, RV has done little to contribute to this team's sucktitude over the past couple of weeks. Except he can't manage the bullpen, his lineups sucks, and he calls for too many bunts. He's a detriment to the organization.
