QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 04:10 PM) Sweep another four game series in a row? Danks vs. Joe Kelly Shark vs. Miley AND Morton vs. Pelfrey Q vs. Porcello AND Liriano vs. Erwin "Not Johan" Santana Sale vs. Wright AND Mariners' TBA vs. Pelfrey No Gerrit Cole for PITT. Most likely scenario is 3-1 White Sox, 1-2 for the Twins, but still 3.5 GB in the Wild Card (just because it has to be, that's the same exact number of games we trailed the Indians when we made the White Flag trade). That also means the Blue Jays, Tigers and Orioles among others would cease to exist. Although it's still possible the lead would be 3.5, we can't control what all those other teams are doing. Yankees, by the way, have never lost a series at Target Field and have now won six consecutive series in a row. We are only 2 games back of the Blue Jays (2.5 if the win, 1.5 if they lose today), who is behind the Twins. If we win 3-1 we won't lose any ground on those teams

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) The 1983 White Sox went 50-16 the final 66 games to win 99 games. Obviously, this team will not be doing that, but they could go 39-27 for 85 wins. Here's what the Sox have left, and what they'll need to do for 85 wins: (9) KC 5-4 (7) Bos 4-3 (7) Det 4-3 (7) LAA 4-3 (7) NY 4-3 (7) Sea 4-3 (6) Cle 4-2 (6) Min 4-2 (4) Oak 2-2 (3) TB 2-1 (3) Cubs 2-1 Is it a long shot? Yes. Is it possible with a good pitching staff and an improved offense? Sure, why not. Now...about Laroche... Never say never. We are going on a 20 game winning streak.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 04:06 PM) Beating up on s***ty teams means nothing. We need to beat the Yankees and Royals coming up. And selling will help that? We are in a complicated spot

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 04:01 PM) The solution is we teach Micah to catch. Or first and dump LaRoche lol

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 04:02 PM) So you think we'll risk letting Shark make the start on Tuesday? The way we swept Indians and scored quite a few runs on a pretty good starting rotation I think we give it until the deadline to sell unless we get some great offer we can't refuse

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 03:28 PM) We will likely be five out of the Wild Card after today. Upcoming series for those in front of us: LA vs Hou Min vs Pit Tor vs Phil Balt vs Atl Det vs TB Tex vs NYY I think we'll probably give it one more series before selling, because with Minnesota playing a really good Pirates team, us being within 3-4 by the deadline isn't THAT difficult to believe. I still don't think we're a contender, but, its at least mildly interesting. Well, we only have one more series left lol

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 03:28 PM) With Micah's biggest problem being "defense" it does seem like having him "play DH for 2 months" could lead to a real developmental setback for him. You don't think having him up working with Sanchez and the MLB coaches on his defense every day would help him?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 03:04 PM) Sweep! And the Twins are losing big. Not so fast on selling. We will be 5 back if Twins lose. Twins are off tomorrow then play the Pirates. Good chance for us to game some more games!!

BALL GAME!! Sweep!!!

1 more!!!

I hate David Murphy

2 more!!

And here it comes. Damn it

Let's focus on getting the W today. Let's go DRob!!

Why try to steal him? Saladino has been good all day

TIme for a Saladino double in the gap to score Shuck

Whew. 3 more outs! DRob shut this down!! He will have to face Murphy, Santana, and Aguilar

And Brantley is up with someone on base.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:39 PM) They all have their moments. Yeah I know, just responded to the question. He had been pretty damn good the last 15 or so games before that. He will bounce back

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:36 PM) That's textbook hawk. Is it just me or has Duke sucked mass dick lately? Yep, blew the STL game and let up a run yesterday

How many fastballs in the middle of the zone has Tyler missed today? 4 Ks

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:26 PM) Since we're all GMs here, I'd move Avi to DH and bring up a RF (Shuck there maybe). Give LaRoche to some team that I trade Shark to. Alexei is playing much better. I'd move him too. The question is; who will give you more offense, Micah, Shuck, or some OF in AAA? And having Micah up here DHing, he can work with Sanchez and major league coaches on his defense every day before games and he can get starts here and there

Nice!! 6 more outs!

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) Call up Kottaras and DH him. Way better option than LaRoche at this point. We already decided, Micah is coming up to DH per GMs of Soxtalk (including me)
