QUOTE (Condor13 @ May 5, 2015 -> 01:00 PM) HR open for tonight's games. If we are gonna get our offense going it should be tonight. Go Sox!!! Since I stopped picking we haven't hit a home run. I wonder if I should pick tonight

Someone tell me 8-14 isn't that bad and we can get back to .500 quickly

Great win and Derrick is ok. Time to focus on game 2. Can't just be happy we won the first, let's steal another

Starters got to get the lead back up.

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 4, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) Their plan seems to be Pray Gasol Doesn't Make Shots. He is money on those jumpers. They need a different game plan lol

Still no Niko so far.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 4, 2015 -> 01:27 PM) I would like a Bulls victory tonight. That is all.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 4, 2015 -> 01:06 AM) i need someone opinion other than myself. it like he just came out of no where, putting up good stats across the board. is he for real or is he on a hot streak. Just looking at his Stats looks like he had pretty decent years 2011-2013 and had a down year last year in 2014. Like Matt said in his analysis he has always been older for the levels he has been in.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 4, 2015 -> 12:08 AM) The way the org pumped him up he was bound to fail. They f***ing rush everyone of their guys it seems. He was nowhere near MLB ready and we saw it in spring. That Sanchez lingers in AAA while the Sox are close to last in every single defensive metric really pisses me off. Here's what should happen on the off day: Robin out Steverson interim Micah to AAA Sanchez up Gordon is new everyday 3b sanchez is new everyday 2b rodon to aaa ____ up The team needs defense BADLY. I don't think Gordon is any sort of answer but right now he can at least provide defense. He has played 20 games (57 ABs) and he has already failed? Come on man. He is seeing the most pitches on a team full of mainly vets. He has made 1 error (Today) and out of the regulars he is 4th in average and I guarantee if the rest of our offense wasn't horrible he would be playing better. Yeah he is a bit shaky in the field but really hasn't hurt the team with his fielding, IMO and I have no idea why they aren't having him steal nearly every time he is on 1st but he has been a bright spot on this s***ty team. He is not the one to replace in the line up.

Great content! Dan Black is really interesting to me, every time I see a box score he is usually getting on base somehow and hitting well. His walks are of interest especially for this team. Would be interesting to see him up if LaRoche hits the DL

QUOTE (LDF @ May 3, 2015 -> 10:25 PM) I just saw this thread. Releasing him had to be done, he has been horrible and is just a waste of space in our minor league system. Better?

Just saw this. It had to be done

This gives me some hope that maybe Hahn will realize Ventura needs to go

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2015 -> 04:56 PM) Why wait Monday it should be done. The problem is we would be stuck with Cooper or Parent probably. I doubt we hire someone during the season

I cant believe we got swept by the Twins. Bring up Thompson and Sanchez and put Rodon in the rotation. Bring some life to this damn team.

QUOTE (Lillian @ May 3, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) And Thompson keeps hitting. 3 for 3 today. It's a lot more fun following these Minor Leaguers than the Sox. Bring up the kids to get some life into the team.

I wish we were the Astros

I'm not sure why anyone would think this fight was going to end up being worth the $100. There was about a 5% chance of that at best

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 2, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) I asked Joel Skinner about that after the game. Sanchez has been playing 2B most of the time, plus 2 games at short. Skinner answered carefully, but he indicated Sanchez would play SS and 3B at least occasionally. What he didn't say though, but that others did, is that they don't want to sit Davidson much. Matt didn't have a great game today, but his defense is much-improved and his hitting is showing some positive signs, so I think they want to ride that out. Makes it tough to get Sanchez 3B time. Thanks for the detailed answer.

Too bad the only thing worth a damn on this team right now is the bullpen

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) 2nd base...Johnson was rushed and is having a very hard time hitting fastballs It's not saying much with our s***ty team but Johnson has been one of the few bright spots, IMO. I love the way he plays the game. If Sanchez can play 3B at least as well as Gillaspie I would look at that

Someone knows a good website to watch this fight on with a good stream. If you do please PM me!

So disappointing

Why give a bench player who isn't good the most at bats? Logic...

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 2, 2015 -> 10:59 AM) JB Shuck is the leadoff hitter. Would have just stuck with Johnson. 1 more game isn't going to hurt him
