Jose Abreu

I expect an attendance of about 12k.

What's with all the love for Dano? Is he really 1st-line cabliber/a 50 point player?

How did I not find out about this until now? Good signing.

Why does it switch halfway through the season?

1. Avisail* 2. No, you can't just make someone a third baseman. Especially someone with his athleticism.

Update- now at 29/92 with 17 games left. He's been on a tear.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 05:42 PM) Nothing like a diehard Cubs fan announcing the Sox game. For real. I wish we had a different fill-in announcer.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 04:26 PM) I remember when this season began and we were all like "And Cabrera FINALLY solves our #2 hole problems!" To be fair, if he had been hitting #2 all season, he'd probably still have his .274/10/68. That's not too bad for a #2 hitter. Big improvement from last year, for sure.

Thompson to play CF tomorrow as well

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 02:46 PM) They could also be making a horrible misstep. I don't think the Hawks brass would do that. They are very concerned with their image.

Hawks to address Kane situation at 2 PM CT press conference tomorrow

This is encouraging.

Why would he even lie about that?

The funny thing is, Alexei shaking off Geo was actually the right, smart call.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 07:56 AM) My offseason plan: 1. Give qualifying offer to Samardzija 2.Decline Alexei's option (bring him back at like $4mill. $5 mi deal with the 1 mill buyout) 3. Trade Quintana maybe include Avi for a package that includes mlb/near mlb ready young position players (hopefully including a 3B, a C, an OF, and a SP spect) 4. Sign Kenta Maeda if he is posted The rest I'm not really sure on. Rotation of: 1. Sale 2. Maeda 3. Rodon 4. Danks/Fulmer 5. Johnson You really want Maeda for his expected contract after what happened to Tanaka? The overuse of pitchers in Japan is a real problem.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 07:22 AM) How about complain about them in the gamethread, since this was posted during the game? Well first, the game thread is closed. Second, my post wasn't really complaining about them, it was agreeing with a previous poster.

NHL 16 gameplay is much better than 15. For the Hawks specifically, it's now the United Center rather than Chicago Arena or whatever it was. Before opening faceoffs, the organ plays and the fans chant "Let's Go Hawks!". The goal horn is much more accurate. And last, but not least, Chelsea Dagger plays after Hawks goals. The announcing is still dry and annoying.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 12:06 AM) He's going to go down as one of the most hated Sox acquisitions... With that said, can we take him off the banner? Even if it's just the current banner with his face sloppily whited out, I wouldn't care. An addition of Quintana and/or Abreu would be nice, though.

No love for Leury? Anyway, no idea. Maybe he pitched a bit in Cuba?

QUOTE (harkness @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 10:15 PM) /shrug Mike Olt should have never seen the field... I get what they were thinking but I never agreed with not playing Saladino... I've never understood why they keep running Webb out there.. his arm is okay but not that great for how bad his control is. Shark... he just as lost it and should just sit this out the rest of the year. All different situations... but all three are people that should be done playing with the White Sox. I'm with raBBit on this. I agree with your analysis but there are already threads on Samardzija and Olt. I guess you could've started one on Webb.

Alexei > Leury > Samardzija

Making his 2nd career pitching appearance: Leury Garcia

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 27s27 seconds ago I feel awful for Samardzija. He came back home to play for the team he loved growing up, and has a season like this.
