Jose Abreu

I could be way off on this, but from the eye test, Thompson and Saladino seem like similar hitters.

Thank God for no LaRoche today.

we'll take it

Fun fact I just learned by checking to see if Sanchez is a natural SS (all I found was that he has played 2B/SS about equally in the minors): Carlos is his middle name. His first name is "Yolmer".

Eaton's BA was over .270 at one point but he's slumping again. Must be the shoulder

Sanchez and Saladino are both natural shortstops, right?

Ok we get it, they both suck

If you want to lose brain cells, read the replies to this comment. https://www.facebook.com/SportsCenter/photo...2%3A%22R9%22%7D Apparently, Sale is barely a top-20 pitcher in baseball. "He's better than top 20 and probably more top 10 but a few I'd prefer over him? Kershaw, Grienke, Bumgarner, Price, Archer, Keuchel, Cueto, Scherzer, Kluber, Arrieta, Gray"

Cubs fan on Twitter "Doesn't matter that we lost, we still won the Crosstown Cup" Um, no you didn't...

Sale and Jones were fantastic.

WE WON THE CUP!

Robertson had to make it close.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 8m8 minutes ago Nate Jones has struck out seven over 4 1/3 scoreless innings since he returned. Has allowed one hit. #WhiteSox

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 16, 2015 -> 03:18 PM) Lol puts things in perspective. Though I thought nobody under 25 watched baseball anymore ? You'd be surprised, more kids watch baseball than reports make you believe. However football is by far the most popular sport now.
