QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 06:00 PM) I would be fine with that. I'm thinking Pitt wants more from the Sox than just LaRoche and that's why nothing happened? I would be willing to send over a lower level prospect or some money along with LaRoche

Come out strong!

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 05:51 PM) His contract is a drop in the bucket, especially when compared to the revenue from a WC berth. Bench his ass and trade him if you can, including paying some of his freight. I'm still pissed Flowers is playing 5 nights out of 7 wtf. You have to think of it has 8 out of 10

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 05:19 PM) http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/07/cole...ice-giants.html In this thread, Stark says Pirates have asked the Sox about LaRoche but since they haven't been able to move Alvarez, no move is likely to happen. I'd take 2 months of Alvarez for 1 year and 2 months of LaRoche. Yeah, I would trade Alvarez for LaRoche for sure

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 04:50 PM) I haven't been this excited for a Sox game since Opening Day. Take 3 or 4 in Boston and suddenly... This is truly the biggest game of the series with our 3 best going in the next 3.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 04:31 PM) I want Soto to play as well but he's starting tomorrow night so I understand him not starting today. If he is suppose to be starting more games how is starting once the last 5 games doing that? Flowers played in a day game yesterday after a night game, perfect chance to play Soto and didn't. Robin is full of s*** when he said Soto was getting more time, it is the same as it was before he said that

If only Soto was starting for Flowers. Almost perfect Robin, almost!

Love that LaRoche is sitting. Good move on Robin's part!! Let's get 5th straight

I guess another thing we could think about is what we would have to add with Shark to get Schwarber back. That is the type of deal that helps the offense now and for the future.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 01:45 PM) Straight up? Would rather have Q. Schwarber as a centerpiece of a multiplayer package? Might work. Interesting. I don't think we would expect much else back IMO

Question; Is Quintana worth Schwarber?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 10:29 AM) Going to see Southpaw today. Did you like it? I think I am going to see it Tuesday ($5 day)

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 06:52 PM) So we're 5 GB. Yep and only 2 GB of Toronto who is the first team behind the Twins

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 06:42 PM) Big Brother

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 04:23 PM) My false hope o meter is at an all time high. QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 04:27 PM) When will we learn Hey, at least this season is a little more interesting and we aren't completely doomed yet

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!!!
