JFC Shark is pathetic. Go back to the NL.

Just turned game on. Shark still sucking?

Melky isn't producing? He's got 61 RBIs on a s*** bad offense. His HR total should be a little higher but whatever. He's not a problem.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Aug 29, 2015 -> 10:02 AM) I agree his K total is a bit low but the kid is only 21 and was traded to the Sox for Beckham. Many Sox fans, including myself, were ready to DFA Beckham last year so I'll take Almonte over nothing any time. Oh absolutely. Even if he turned out to be a good reliever that's a win.

Erik Johnson, Micah Johnson, Davidson are my specific 3. I wana see some MLB ABs from Davidson. Let's evaluate some guys in a lost season. Take advantage of these ABs

This is a big positive for me. Hopefully he's just a late bloomer contact wise (wishful thinking). He certainly has the power.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 29, 2015 -> 02:06 AM) Devil's advocate ... they'll just draft a great college pitcher. Do you have the confidence they'll make the right trades of pitchers for everyday stars? We can't win with great pitching alone and there's no doubt the sox will take another great pitcher. Big deal. We have great pitching now and horrific everyday hitters. That's why I'm hoping KW leaves and Robin is canned. I'm ok with Hahn so far. He's made mistakes in FA but has brought some under the radar talent like Montas.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 29, 2015 -> 01:21 AM) I think our rebuilding is going pretty well. So well that we took a shot at the WS this year, year 2. So well that alot of you are pissed we didn't do better. You're pissed because, well, damn it actually looked pretty decent on paper after only a one year core-flip. Stay the course fellas. Don't jump ship. We're getting better not worse. My issue is this team can't develop hitters to save their lives.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 11:49 PM) I agree, I'm more than ready for changes, but rebuilding isn't one of them. I think it's time to officially cut ties with KW and allow Hahn to have a chance to realize his vision while also making him accountable for all personel decisions. I'd also like to let go of Robin and actually hire an experienced manager. Robin seems like a good guy, but he's a terrible in-game manager IMO and an easy spot to upgrade. And without question, Buddy Bell needs to go. I get player development is a difficult job and heavily reliant on the players brought into the organization, but he has so few success stories on the position player side that it's way beyond time to move on. Make these three changes and I feel much more confident about the leadership of the organization going forward. And with one voice and stronger leadership throughout, I feel more confident in our ability to acquire, develop, & coach up position player talent. I'd at least like to give Hahn and his team a year or two to improve this offense before I even think about ripping apart a pitching staff that has a chance to be very special in the near future. It's not like this team is finishing with a top 5 pick each season. We have a core. Time for the front office to start hitting. s*** or get off the pot.

QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 11:48 PM) while it is for the best or not, this team does not have the little, what ever you call it, but the killer instinct to start and finish a game, a season. It ALL starts with the little things. This team doesn't do them right. Might not show tonight but thus team just sucks every way you slice it. The lineup sucks. 2-0 shutout is pathetic. This team has no life. As for Trayce, I get WHY Robin is doing it, but what cases are there out there that protecting a young hitter makes them become what they should be?

So what's the ETA on Fulmer? '17 like Anderson?

Ugh being a sox fan sucks right now. Just keep losing. Sorry to piss off a lot here with that but it's best thing for us.

In fairness to a complete rebuild, this attendance already sucks.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 10:19 PM) Lol...we've had three top 10 draft picks since 1990. Rarely have we sucked outside of the past two seasons. And as Abreu mentioned, we got Rodon & Fulmer as a result. And without question, I'll take Rodon over Schwarber as this point in time. As for your rebuilding comment, I just pointed out the numerous reasons the Cubs are a likely playoff team that have nothing to do with rebuilding. The Astros may be an example, but let's not act like this isn't their first year of success. They aren't the 1990's Braves just yet. Who else do you got? The Pirates? Not sure how old you are, but they were terrible for like forever. Same goes for the Royals. There are lots of examples of rebuilding gone wrong, much more than the successes. I've never been a fan of a complete rebuild all through the system. Sure I want some things blown up like the coaching staff, but we have enough of a core especially pitching to keep going. It's time for the front office to start hitting on some hitters through the draft, free agency and trades.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 10:11 PM) The 16k that showed up tonight were treated to a real gem. No s***. Field a good team for f***ing once. Jeez

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 10:05 PM) Good thing Thompson didn't play tonight Couldn't live without that bunt pop out by LaRoche. I hate Ventura as manager, they can't possibly keep him.

Chuck G on post game with a s*** on Robin moment for not playing Trayce

f*** this lineup

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 09:51 PM) If we could just see Courtney Hawkins or Tim Anderson, or any fielding prospect turn out I would feel so much better, honestly. Every year it just fields like "Begin Josh Fields era..." "Praise Bacon!" "TCQ!" And so on Ya. We got another year of waiting for Tim. Courtney has a ways to go. We need to find an impact bat desperately this offseason.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 09:49 PM) boring game for us Boring all year except the 7 game win streak against s***ty teams.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 09:44 PM) Saladino looks like a utility player Yup. Defensive replacement with his stick.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 09:41 PM) I understand what you mean. And I don't mean to antagonize you. I like the guys here, but I just am so frustrated with the direction we have gone. And when you take a step back, it just looks so much worse. They go for it every year and are still consistently bad. We weren't going for it last season. This year ya. That was stupid but it only cost us money and some lesser prospects. I'm ok with that. With that said, what will we do moving forward? That's what will tell me all I need to know about this organization.

And when you take a step back, it just looks so much worse. They go for it every year and are still consistently bad. Oh I'm as frustrated. I'm f***ing sick of s***ty to mediocre teams. This is bulls***. I'm ready to clean house in the front office.

Their pen sucks lets get some runs

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 28, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) Where? So many holes. We're baseball swiss cheese. I get it. But we do have a core of players. Sale, Rodon, Q, Abreu. Decent pen with a closer who can get it done. We have some prospects down in the minors also. Fact is, some of these position players need to pan out. If Avi was advertised we'd have protection for Abreu. This team has holes. So dd a lot of teams.
