Jose Abreu

QUOTE (1dog @ Aug 9, 2014 -> 08:56 PM) Robin Ventura knows how to set a lineup. fixed

QUOTE (1dog @ Aug 9, 2014 -> 08:54 PM) Ha, can I get some context? I have been watching, but sometimes I tune him out because of the inane repetitiveness. Wimpy: The thing about Seattle is the travel is tough throughout the season, though it has gotten better now with charter flights Hawk: Now with those charter flights the players can't b**** or whine about it as much something like that

thru 2, nobody has reached base

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 9, 2014 -> 08:23 PM) Haha. Hawk said "b****" on the air. I had to rewind because I thought he said "pitch"; in context, that (pitch) makes zero sense.

lol at Hawk continually cutting Wimpy off

Why does the White Sox Twitter always tweet "play ball" 15 minutes before the game starts?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 9, 2014 -> 04:23 PM) Does Tuiasasopo play a good CF? And a career .207 is ok? He can play LF while De Aza or Leury Garcia slide to CF. In 2013, he hit .244 with 7/30 in 81 games for Detroit. In 79 games that same season, JorDanks hit .231 with 5/12. These are their best seasons.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 9, 2014 -> 04:19 PM) Has Jordan Danks not been hitting well? He has never hit well in the Majors, unlike Tuiasasopo, who as at least hit kind of ok in the Majors.

Not just Taylor, but we also could've called up Matt Tuiasasopo who plays outfield and is hitting well for Charlotte.

There was a CSN article recently that said he seems like a future manager and all the players treat him like one.

I think Konerko will be our next manager.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Aug 9, 2014 -> 06:04 AM) Anyone worried? I sorta am, particularly with the sudden loss of power since the break. I wouldn't call it a loss of power, pitchers are just approaching him differently. He just barely missed one last night; it looked gone off the bat.

Belisario got the job done

more amazing Gillaspie defense

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 8, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) Not when we have 3-4 guys at that position already. If he can't play 3B well enough, it's going to be like Mark Teahen turning the DP at second. If Semien can play 3B better defensively, he might be playing himself into a platoon situation...with Marcus in the Keppinger/Leury Garcia role. Well...1-5 is quickly turning into 1-6. The curse of DeAza's muffed catch. One has a feeling that this nosedive isn't going to be one they recover from and they will end up at -10 to -14. They're also (like the Braves) running into a schedule buzzsaw of teams who are extremely motivated to win each time out, whereas as hopes for the wild card disappeared for the Sox last weekend. QUOTE (Vance Law @ Aug 8, 2014 -> 10:46 PM) Why would you think he could handle 2B? He has the arm of a second basemen and he'd have more time to react, which seems to be a big problem for him. And caulfield, he doesn't necessarily have to be a 2B on our team.

His future is at 2B or a contact-hitting DH

Conor is a reverse Casey Kotchman playing 3B

da bears win 34-28. watching this game now

That's #16 for Tank. He's been on a roll recently

0-0 thru 1

Bears' first half ended just in time for the last few minutes of the pre-game. I predict a big day from Abreu.

So are some of you speculating that this 3-team trade involves Giancarlo Stanton?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 8, 2014 -> 03:03 PM) Rodon, Timmy Anderson, Hawkins and Montas. That's about right. For Ginacarlo? I'd consider it...

Rienzo optioned to AAA
