QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 04:52 PM) Albers with the bases loaded vs. Cano isn't exactly a compelling match up from a White Sox point of view. Give me Jones, Fulmer, or Jennings then

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 03:10 PM) Might want to look at the box score before you post mate. QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 03:12 PM) Considering we are winning 4-0 already and Gonzalez has 3 straight QS with a 2.25 ERA during that span, it should be interesting. Don't bother with him. His anti-Saladino, negative agenda knows no bounds

My god, how many troll threads are gonna gain this much steam

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 12:28 AM) Lawrie and Frazier go deep Bullpen pitched well. The rock theme song is by the Seattle band the Foo Fighters called "The Pretender " . Interpret that any way you please. That's Jake Petricka's reliever entry music!

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 10:00 AM) Addison reed 81% career save David Robertson 81 % career save. That's before his blow last night... so Reed might be higher now. I don't think you get why Reed was traded.

Also, why the hell did we steal with Avi in the 9th

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 11:35 PM) I feel bad for Sale. Don't. He's had more than enough undeserved wins this year

oh my god

MLB Network guys were predicting a blockbuster deal sending Sale to Houston. What package would they have to give up for Sale?

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 10:42 PM) It's either going to be stand pat or buy guys. They arent going to sell. Why people think that's going to happen I dont get. I don't know who thinks it will happen, but I know that it should happen

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) Standing pat in 2016 is not as bad of a decision as standing pat in 2015 was as this entire roster will still be there and tradeable this offseason. No one of any consequence hits the free agent market this offseason, which was not the case last year. I get that, but standing pat is basically saying "we don't think we'll make the playoffs", so why not sell, gain assets, and get a better draft pick?

If anyone answers stand pat...

Not sure why we conceded this game in order to save a few bucks (Turner). Kinda stupid.

Honestly just drop Frazier to 7th or 8th in the lineup. Wake him up.

Melky single, Frazier GIDP, Morneau single. UGH

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 11:38 PM) Please send Fulmer back down before he is infected with the very virulent strain of Soxitis that is running rampant through them now. Unfortunately, it is too late. This strain is so powerful, even mere exposure to the 25-man roster is enough for infection.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:52 PM) As long as Kenny Williams is in the mix nothing will EVER change. The only good thing he's done lately is gotten rid of LaRoche

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) He couldn't lay down a bunt in the 9th inning though in a situation that would have led to a tied game. Either he is incompetent or Robin was just an idiot. Regardless, something gotta change. I don't think there's a single prototypical big power guy who can lay down a bunt. You don't see Stanton, Encarnacion, Ortiz, Harper, etc. bunting. I'm total anti-bunt so I don't really care, but it is a little annoying that professional baseball players can't perform one of the most basic tasks in the game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) None of those players are core guys and for the most part can be easily replaced. But that's not my point. If we trade the guys you mentioned, I don't think we'll get enough in return to the point where it can be considered a rebuild. Also I do consider Cabrera to be a core guy since I consider him to be our best hitter, unless you're referring to his contract which is done after 2017, in which case, I agree.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:39 PM) Cabrera, Robertson, Frazier, Duke and Shields should be the main guys on the market. But if we do move those guys and keep Sale/Q etc. then we're doing one of those bulls*** "it's not rebuilding, it's retooling!! :)" things that will end up with us being .500. We need to commit to something, selling or buying, and go all in on that one thing. I'm tired of our front office's noncommittal attitude.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:37 PM) Where do these meatheads come from... seriously. I wonder if Giants fans or Rangers fans are this way after they lose games. I'm becoming convinced that the Ron guy who started the first 3 anti-Abreu threads has multiple accounts, and is posting them every day

I better see a mixed up lineup tomorrow. Sprinkle in some Saladino or Sanchez, shift people around, etc. edit- Sanchez just got sent down, probably for Turner

I'm becoming more open to selling, but if we're gonna do it, we have to do it right. No half-assing it. I mean trading Sale, Quintana, Abreu, Frazier, everyone 27 and over basically. I feel like if we sold, we'd keep one of Sale/Q and keep us perpetually average

Abreu had 2 hits today lmao
