QUOTE (raBBit @ May 13, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) Has SoxTalk ever done a group outing? I haven't been here that long so I don't know if that is something SoxTalk has done before but if a mod, or anyone for that matter, could let me know, I would appreciate it. Anyways, I will have my hands on some pretty serious promo codes for an upcoming summer game. I should have the final date and ticket prices soon but I'm thinking there is going to be three tiers (bleachers, outfielder reserves and lower reserves at $10, $12 and $20 respectively). There should be upper deck reserves for $10 as well but it's still getting sorted out. The tentative date is Friday, June 13th against the Royals. All tickets would be purchased through whitesox.com. I am just trying to gauge interest and see if that's something the posters would be interested in. I'd love to hear everyone's opinions and will start a thread if interest is there and the mod team is okay with it. Regardless of whether the site is interested in doing a group outing or not, I will definitely make the promo code available to any posters here who would be interested in a good game at a discounted price. Please let me know what you all think! DISCLAIMER: Moderating team - Please be diligent in correcting this post if it is outside of the site guidelines. I would totally understand if this were to be an issue. I will be coming in town that Saturday afternoon so if you could make it June 15th (Sunday) I would be able to go.

Congrats to Johnson. It will be exciting to see how he does and what happens next

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 13, 2014 -> 01:46 PM) So Adam Dunn should lead off. Gotcha. Why not?? I was leaning towards Ramirez which is way more reasonable

I wish I was able to go to games more.. If I lived in the Chicago area I would defiantly go to at least 20 games a year..

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 13, 2014 -> 01:15 PM) Put Abreu for all care. Just anybody but your two worst hitters on the team Its simple, put Ramirez up there until Eaton is back or Semien (At least he will take pitches)

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 13, 2014 -> 01:15 PM) Is there anyone who still believes Ventura is going to be the one who leads the White Sox to their next playoff appearance? No, so the sooner he is gone the better

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 13, 2014 -> 01:06 PM) The problem is when Eaton is out, the Sox don't really have a leadoff hitter on their roster. So no matter who is there, when a game is lost and the guy leading off doesn't have a good game, Robin is an idiot. If you don't have a leadoff hitter then put whoever gets on base the most up there.. Garcia, De Aza, and Beckham are not those.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ May 13, 2014 -> 12:04 AM) Flowers sucks, so does Garcia Thanks for coming in here just to say that

Wow... Would have rather seen Semien bat with one of those AB's.. Least we gave it a run

Need one of those weak base hits Tumbleweeds!

Sucks we have our worst hitters coming up

Why couldn't we do this 2-5 innings ago! I guess better late then never.. Lets Go!

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 12, 2014 -> 11:34 PM) Any chance we win a game this series? With Carroll and Rienzo going and how offense has been hitting and the A's being the top pitching team in the league I will get with 10.567%

Stupid shift against a .215 hitter

I'm sorry but Chavez does not have that great of stuff. We are just bailing this guy guy out.

Where did the offense go?

We needed to score again to win anyways. Sucks Danks only gave us 5 innings though

100 pitches in 5 innings isn't what we needed from our vetern

Why do we put the mic's in the worst spot.. Hearing these people scream the whole time is annoying

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 12, 2014 -> 09:49 PM) This is the second lead Danks has relinquished all year. That can't be right... I thought he did it twice against the Cubs alone

Danks never fails giving up the lead again

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 12, 2014 -> 09:19 PM) GB never touched 2nd base. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 12, 2014 -> 09:20 PM) Neighborhood play no longer applies Of course. More boneheaded plays

I thought that was a DP? what happened

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 12, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) I do think you have to remember that it takes a little bit longer than one day to explore solutions and implement change. I understand what you are saying.. But if you are playing Garcia in CF anyways than why is De Aza still in there (I know the R/L splits with the pitcher), especially after his play lately and with what Robin was saying yesterday after the game. It just doesn't make sense to me... Robin needed to back up his words and he didn't.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 12, 2014 -> 07:22 PM) It's pretty easy to understand why Sierra is on the bench and ADA is in the lineup. Or why there is 0 LH hitters on the bench today. Chavez 2014 splits: vs. RH batters - .159/.169/.246/.415 and vs. LH batters .255/.327/.351/.678 I understand why. But after De Aza's performance yesterday and the comments made by Robin after the game I figured De Aza would be sitting today instead of Sierra.
