Maurico Pochetinno agrees to a 5 year contract to stay manager for Tottenham

WHAT A CATCH BY THE BULLPEN CATCHER!

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 11, 2016 -> 08:11 AM) I really think Markakis/Teheran is the combo that best fits what the Sox are trying to do right now. CarGo would be nice, but he'll be too expensive IMO. Markakis for 2 more years after this scares the crap out of me.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 11, 2016 -> 07:49 AM) Robin took Soxtalk's advice and used Matt Albers in a high leverage situation. It didn't work out, so Robin is back to being an idiot. He should have used his gassed relievers because last night was a must win. Now the playoff hopes really take a hit. With Latos going today, another nugget is it will be a miracle if he holds them to single digits. So basically the White Sox are screwed. +1 Beauty of baseball is that you come back the next day and play and forget about yesterday's game.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 11, 2016 -> 12:57 AM) Jewel had a clearance on beer today. Picked up 5 6 packs of craft beers for 5 each. Great deal. What craft beer did you end up getting?

Well s***

AVI!!!!

Avi better have some plate discipline and not swing at first pitch curveball

QUOTE (bmags @ May 10, 2016 -> 09:56 PM) Not sure I can do a late game again. Was dragging today. This is fun thou Final score might be 11-10

This game is gonna take forever.

A lot of people complaining about velocity. I'm wondering if the Texas gun is a bit slower? Jones was 94-95 and Robertson was 90-91. Plus, Lewis was blowing 87 mph fastballs by us. Could be fatigue, but a little food for thought

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 10, 2016 -> 07:49 PM) What a joke. Why did they even start this game? Any prolonged delay and Rodon will be out, and we will have another bullpen day. I'll take our bullpen against their bullpen though.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ May 10, 2016 -> 06:36 PM) I'd see what it takes, probably not much, to get Ervin Santana from Minny. Tyler Danish and another mid-level prospect would probably get it done. His contract isn't prohibitive and fits in the Sox window. Rather go after Teheran. More upside and fits the Sox long term plans too.

Great team win. Offense picks up the bullpen tonight. I would love for GreenSox to just say something about Frazier once, just once.

Huge f***ing win

I think Stubbs would of been safe anyway.Took a bad hop on Rollins at the end.

They get one, but we're still in it. Gonna tax the pen though

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 9, 2016 -> 10:05 PM) Oh give me a break the closer had a lead TWICE and blew it both times. This is true. Offense got the leads. Bullpen blew it.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 9, 2016 -> 10:02 PM) Robertson blows it again. 4-4 w/ 1 out & Odor up. Sands once again killing them out there. Melky at least attempts that throw. Lol, what? No way.

Looks like Sands is still in there, I would of even taken out the DH and put Avi out there in LF.

Holy ump show Laz Diaz. Wow. Just tossed Melky

Any good rumors for tonight's raw?

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:52 AM) The Sox have a hole at #3 starter, not at #5. This is a common misconception brought on by those who count "1 Sale...2 Quintana...3 Rodon...4 Latos....5....OH MY G-", and that is a trick of the mind. Rodon is more like 4th (perhaps a 5th if he doesn't get his s*** together) at this early point in his career. Can Rodon develop into a 3? YES, Rodon can feasibly develop into a 1, but he's nowhere near either of those levels right now. Latos, OTOH is pitching almost like a 1 (really more like a 2), but nobody expects that to last and that he'll settle down into something more resembling at very good 4th or 5th starter. Sale and Q are both aces and the envy of the entire league. And, truth be told, most teams (even playoff contenders) would be over-the-moon to have Latos and Rodon as their 4/5. But the Sox aren't most teams. Scoring is a bit of an issue for this offense. The Sox can bring a run home if they need one, but they are not going to go toe-to-toe with any AL contender in a slugfest and win. The Sox are not the Toronto Blue Jays. That's fine, they are made to overcome offensive shortcomings with outstanding pitching and defense and they'll continue to win at this clip as long both the pitching and defense are outstanding. The defense looks for real and I doubt it regresses much. The pitching though, eh there's some worry of those performances falling back a bit. The Sox have gotten away with not having a #3 because a #4/5 starter has pitched like a #3... when that magic runs out there will be noticeable dropoff. Dont ask me how to fix it but unless the Sox resign themselves to the idea that Tim Anderson and (probably) Carson Fulmer will be out that door I can tell you it probably wont be fixed. You mention Toronto with an elite offense, but their pitching is really piss poor. The only AL club that has a great offense and at least average pitching is Texas.
