Sox acquire Frank Los Santos from the Rays unrelated to the Crain trade per Hayes.

How's everyone feel about Saltalamacchia as a potential signing next year?

QUOTE (SAVVY18 @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 08:46 AM) I was at the cell last night and it was a total disappointment all around. The game itself was an abortion...just awful. You'd think at "Blackhawks Night", they would have that silver trophy that the team won last year brought out on to the field...NOPE. I know it was at the Bears game on Sunday and I'm pretty sure they had the cup at the cubs game earlier this season as well. It's been everywhere, but on the South Side. s***, they could have had it on the concourse, charged $10 for a picture with it and donated it to the team charity. I figured they'd trot the ambassador's out there, which they did(except for Bobby). But then we had 2 draft picks that hadn't even made the team yet(Tevo and the new kid from Buffalo Grove), 2 scrub defensemen from Rockford(Stanton and Clendening) and then finally a real Hawks player in Crawford. Maybe had the players and ambassadors available for autographs as well. It wouldn't need to be for 3 hours, but a little session would have been nice. Not to mention having a couple of other players from the cup winning team like were at the other events. The free scarf we got was nice, so that's a positive from it. I do believe coach Q did bring the Cup to a Sox game after they won it.

Can't watch the game. Who's making the errors and how is EJ looking?

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 03:56 PM) Plus he made good pitches to Urittia and Markakis. Not sure why Gillaspie was so in for Urittia, I didn't know the guy was a bunt threat and De Aza on Markakis's chip shot, yeesh. Exactly, besides Weiters everything was hit softly

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 03:54 PM) Seriously? Root for your team and if they lose well, it doesn't really matter and were moving towards a better draft pick. These jeers aren't even funny anyways. I feel the same way. Thank you

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 03:49 PM) Addison Reed is not a closer. Just stop. He now has the same amount of blown saves as Mariano Rivera, not to mention that his defense have blown 2 of those saves. Averages a K an inning and a whip right above 1

40 man roster now at 39. Another call up on the way?

Yikes

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 10:28 AM) Suck on it, Cubs! We're worse than YOU!! I still find it comical that with how bad the Sox have been this year, they still almost have a better record than the Cubs

If we trade Quintana to Toronto. We better be getting something more than Lawrie. I would do Quintana for Lawrie, Albert Tirado, Dalton Pompey and a lower level pitcher.

Petricka looks like he's earning his spot in the pen for next year. Hopefully Webb can too

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 07:53 PM) Thompson 2-rbi double., 4-0 He got hot at the right time. Love to see that Thompson is doing well when it matters the most

Only interesting thing for me is watching Leury Garcia. I want to see him get consistent at bats along with Semien

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 09:12 PM) One of the analysts did, can't remember if it was BP. And others had as well, hinted there was a possibility there. But he's added refinement of offspeed pitches and control now, so he may be a starter candidate going forward. He will be 25 already next year. Since he has dominated AA, start him off in Charlotte ?

Bassitt allowing one earned over 6 innings with 8 K's. Is this kid a possible pro prospect?

Thompson with a HR. Barons lead 1-0

Why isn't Jacobs playing?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 09:59 PM) Johnson threw 4 different pitches tonight, with them ranking IMO 1- slider 2- fastball 3- curve 4- changeup It was nice to see someone who's supposed to throw in the low 90s actually hit that mark and not in the high 80s Did he have a cutter also or was that just a hard slider? It was hitting 87-88

Much better 2nd inning from EJ

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 06:52 PM) s***, I missed Semien's AB whilst I was getting a police report filed. How was the hit, where was is it? Fastball? Blooper into right on a change up low and away and out of the zone. It was a 2-2 count and a great piece of hitting.

Slider to Ichiro was pretty nasty

2nd time through the order will be key for Johnson. Everyone relax

Nice little poke from Avi

Oh my. That change up Sale threw on that last pitch was just plain filthy
