Cy Latos

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 04:08 PM) If Latos could get through one more inning then bring in Albers-Duke/Jones-Robertson Bullpen should be fresh, I'd have a very short lease on Latos in the 6th.

Cy Graveman

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) I'm ready for Carlos Sanchez. Never really felt Lawrie was much of an upgrade at 2B. 3B sure but with Frazier that point is moot. 3.5 games man.

This is why spring training stats never matter.

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:48 AM) Don't forget Avi is batting .o91 with Melky . Frazier with that home run is still not hitting at .176 others need to step it up. Trade him, we have Davidson now.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:56 AM) I think I'm the only one that would rather pay the $20 and park in White Sox lots. Nope I'm on this boat too.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:50 AM) That was a fantastic article, really great insight from Rodon and fun stuff on different things coaches have him try in warmups to help his extension. Thank you for posting. I agree, great stuff here.

So I think Avi should sit today.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 04:16 PM) 9:05 first pitches are bad enough, starting the season with them is insulting. Would it have been that bad of an idea to make all games M-W 5 pm starts (PT)? That would have been an ideal time for both cities.

All is well again.

So ready for tonight's game. Get off to a good start and take off.

1. Of all major pizza chains, Papa Johns is bottom of the barrel and I just hope Beggars stays as long as possible. 2. The real crime here is not offering curly fries anymore. There should be a petition to bring those back.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) Piece on Tribune's site along with a cool feature allowing you to compare every team's video board to Cleveland's, which is the largest. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...-htmlstory.html Good stuff, is there any reason LA (Dodgers) wouldn't opt for bigger boards? Just built in '13 and they're pretty small.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 01:50 PM) Me too. Being 25, Hawk calling games is all I've known. I say Hawkisms everyday, and probably will the rest of my life. He is easily in my top 3 of people I'd love to play a round of golf with. Love Hawk, and will miss him dearly when he's gone, even though I know its time. +1 This post nails it.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 11:19 AM) Hopefully they are heading to Oakland for Josh Reddick. I like Sanchez, I think it would suck to give him up for 1 year of Reddick

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 11:34 PM) Lineup (vs. RHP): 1. Adam Eaton (RF) (L) 2. Jimmy Rollins (SS) (S) 3. Jose Abreu (1B) ® 4. Todd Frazier (3B) ® 5. Melky Cabrera (LF) (S) 6. Brett Lawrie (2B) ® 7. Dioner Navarro © (S) 8. Avisail Garcia (DH) ® 9. Austin Jackson (CF) ® Bench: 1. Alex Avila © (L) 2. Tyler Saladino (2B/SS/3B) ® 3. Travis Ishikawa (1B/LF/RF) (L) 4. J.B. Shuck (OF) (L) Starting Rotation: 1. Chris Sale (L) 2. Jose Quintana (L) 3. Carlos Rodon (L) 4. Matt Latos ® 5. John Danks (L) Bullpen: 1. Jacob Turner ® (LRP) 2. Zach Duke (L) (MRP/SU) 3. Matt Albers ® (MRP/SU) 4. Jake Petricka ® (MRP/SU) 5. Nate Jones ® (MRP/SU) 6. Zach Putnam ® (MRP/SU) 7. David Robertson ® (CL) Scott Carroll deserves the long man role more than Turner. I think Turner gets sent to AAA and makes it because of the 1.5mil he's owed. I also wouldn't doubt the sox are shopping a couple of these relievers for a LH bat.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 10:34 AM) Jersey hanging in the dugout, and Sale and Eaton touch it after every inning. Is this supposed to be green?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 10:31 AM) I just don't know how people can buy whatever KW is selling. He had is first story he gave the press. Sale, whether you think he is crazy or not, said KW gave them 3 stories, and the Nightengale story was yet another different version. So there is 5 nor even counting whether buckets story is anything, but that would make it bucket #6 officially Bozo's Circus. It looks like that, but if you take the Sox fandom out of it, the White Sox came up better from this. So screw it, the Circus worked.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 09:29 AM) "We lost a leader in Drake LaRoche " -Adam Eaton on the Score What a joke. I don't even want to root for these guys anymore. Drake is at home with his Dad. Eaton makes it sound like he died from cancer Eaton and Sale we're probably the biggest names to complain to someone about Drake, you can tell by how guilty they feel saying this crap.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 07:36 AM) Say ultimately it comes out that a player or players complained. Would it be better for the team to have them admit it to the guys who are upset about this or remain anonymous? This is why I don't think Kenny cares about defending himself to the public eye, say what you want about him but him taking the bullet by himself is better than the players feuding amongst themselves and rupture in the clubhouse. Kenny probably told the guys who complained to vehemently support LaRoche to the media and teammates and let him take the fall.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 06:51 AM) How come Kenny never mentioned safety to the press? How come this wasn't addressed last season? How come they gave the kid a locker and uniform during spring training this season? How come this wasn't address for a couple weeks this spring? How come it was still OK to do it, just not as much? I think the answer is because it is BS. Why spill all the beans to the media when the Sox already won? They unloaded AL and regained his $13 mil. I agree this was handled pretty badly through a PR standpoint but you've even said it yourself, in a week almost no one will be talking about this. Especially if this team starts winning, this is going to be a footnote in the 2016 season if the Sox contend. Why bury a player and keep a war of words going through the media? Kenny has no problem looking like a villain, he knows he already won, even if things look bleak with the "clubhouse issues" now, they are saying they are as united as ever, and if they aren't, then they aren't mentally tough to grind out a season anyway. Just because the kid had a locker in the clubhouse doesn't mean he should be taking normal drills and BP like he's an actual player, no other player/team does this as much as LaRoche/White Sox did.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 02:49 PM) It starts with Adam LaRoche. If he has the perspective to realize how reasonable the request was, none of this happens. Are you saying you don't agree with #FamilyFirst?

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 01:22 PM) Wow, this is the transcript of Sale: Q: What are your concerns about how this affects the team moving forward? A: We’re missing two big pieces to our puzzle, plain and simple. I’m not going to sit here and say it’s going to be the main reason, but he’s definitely going to be missed and we’re not going to get him back. Edit: Honestly these comments are making me lean towards maybe there is some truth to the "supporters were biggest complainers" bit. I mean Sale can't be this dumb,can he?
