QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) THANK YOU!! It's beyond me people are using this argument. I feel like I'm listening to a Pardon My Take Podcast on Barstool. Also, not to get the last word. I'll continue to read the board and appreciate the level-headed posts. But I can't post in a Sox downturn --- a number of posters grasp at straws and throw out ridiculous takes on what this team needs to do. Maybe we should sign Tim Tebow ............. Also my hoping for 2 for 98 is not necessarily a bad thing - it would probably help us get a protected draft pick, hah And I actually am a strong, diehard Sox fan - a dumb one, but a diehard one. I've had season tickets every year since graduating college. I watch 130+ games a year and never mind any of that.... I understand the game. Go back and read my posts if you want - they generally are pretty thought through. So with all that see y'all next year. For those who post thoughtful, fact checked and based statements and use that information to develop and share insight -- THANK YOU and that is the reason I'll still read this board. The others? You're the reason I'll get up out of my seats and move so I don't have to hear about how Brett "Lorrie" and "Tom" Anderson make a great infield. Thanks for being a fan - but get it together. We'll see if you actually do leave, though. Only poster who actually followed through on leaving lately was LDF. Also, Lorrie is the correct pronunciation of Brett Lawrie's last name...

Also, 2015 Abreu was good too. I don't understand why anyone is disappointed with that production.

2014 2nd half Abreu was must-watch T.V. He was getting hit after hit after hit.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) I was thinking Shuck might be the worst position player in the majors, but I think that award goes to Mike Aviles. Shuck > Navarro

All I learned from this thread is there are people who think that Lawrie's last name isn't pronounced lorrie lmao

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 10:44 AM) Also for the sake of this argument I Hope Abreu goes 2 for his next 98 while his son is around. I'm out. What a great Sox fan.

QUOTE (Doc Edwards Shot @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 10:01 AM) All I have to say is that I sincerely hope that Abreu isn't Carlos Quentin or Gordon Beckham part II. A spectacular season followed by mediocrity which proved that the player wasn't for real and it was all just a flash in the pan in the beginning. Beckham and Abreu don't belong in the same sentence. And Abreu was great in both 2014 and 2015, not just one season.

Water bottles today were decent

3 HR in last 4 games. Perhaps motivated by his son's visit to the US. Second time he'll see his son in 3 years.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 5, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) Why is it that the umps always seem to oblige the opposing managers but refuse to review when the Sox request? It's like they have no respect for Ventura. I was wondering this myself

Eaton

Abreu

Saladino

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 4, 2016 -> 09:55 PM) Nice to see Abreu finaly get a dinger and Avi gets his third of series. Get this team solidified for next year Your optimism is usually refreshing but I can't help but laugh at this post

Looks like we'll be without Lawrie for a long time, so prepare for a lot of Sanchez. I personally don't like Saladino at 2B, you can tell he doesn't play there. He's better defensively as a SS/3B.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 01:09 PM) Hello? hey

Such a White Sox thing

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) Interesting Not really. It's Tilson

Would love to have done what the Yankees did

If we sell in the offseason for MLB talent, then there's still no direction. Then you have good positional players but no pitching, since you just traded it away

Mired in front office incompetence. Why is David Robertson still on the roster?? Why are Miguel Gonzalez, James Shields, Melky, etc. still on the roster??
