Will Abreu hit another HR this year?

Not gonna lie, I'm hoping they break the consecutive scoreless innings record.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 3, 2016 -> 01:28 PM) Sale gave up a homer in the first inning yesterday. It happens, Q is Q. And the Sox offense is the Sox offense when he pitches. Chances are that 1 run is all Houston will need.

Ventura should do the honorable thing and just resign. Renteria wouldn't salvage the season, but at least we'll know what we have in him and if we should hire someone else in the offseason.

What do you do with him at this point? Do you just keep trotting him out there and hope for the best because of the salary, or do you fake an injury and shut him down?

Firing Ventura now would be pointless. This team is just not a contender no matter how many moves are made. Ventura's salary still needs to be paid, and how often does a mid season managerial change ever result in the playoffs?

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 09:42 PM) I wonder how far below .500 this team would have to be not to add. I have a feeling we'll be finding out sooner than later.

Is it just me or does it seem like every team scores on us with two outs?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 12:07 AM) To me the answer is obvious ... KENNY WILLIAMS. He has a GM, Hahn, who obviously would have handled this better. This has been handled the worst possible way. Right now, as of today, you have millionaire players blasting management. In spring training of all places, lol. FIX this, Jerry. Give Hahn the GM job and let Kenny move to LA and work for the Raiders. We don't want KW on the Raiders. For the first time in a long time we have a great front office who's turning the team into a legit contender. We don't need Williams mucking that up in any way.

I stopped liking KW about five years ago and this isn't helping matters. The team's probably better off just letting him go. He comes across as an untrustworthy jerk.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) Why am I feeling good with that ball hitting Torii ? Somewhere Jamie Burke is smiling.

Rangers D has been outstanding tonight. Naturally.

Will this be 8 losses in a row? I've lost count.

Making rookies look like Hall of Famers. It's what we do.

Why is it that we are so good at making other teams big time rookies look great? First Gallo and now Carrera.

I'd be happy if they traded him now. I wasn't excited when we traded for him and I can see that my pessimism is validated. The sooner he's gone the better.

I can't wait until Shark is traded. LaRoche brings nothing of value to this team. Makes me almost miss Dunn.

I'm glad that WGN branched off into WGN Sports. I don't get that channel and therefore haven't seen any games this season. From the sounds of it, I'm a lucky guy.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 11:22 PM) Hopefully Sanburn, Leon, Ascensio and maybe Beck, Johnson or Montas/Danish in september can contribute. Def not Cleto. Brad Penny is still with the organization right? Wasn't he pitching well during ST? Why not add him to the bullpen?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 04:46 PM) I don't think anyone is touching Flowers as far as regulars. Beat me to it! I think Shark's gone by the trade deadline.

I guess we can take solace in the fact that Bruce Chen is no longer on the Royals and beating us on a regular basis.

So would this be our projected batting order: 1. Eaton 2. Melky 3. Abreu 4. LaRoche 5. Garcia 6. Gillespie 7. Alexei 8. 2nd base 9. Flowers

Hey everyone, I'm new here (my first post) but I've been reading the forum for a few weeks now since I made the jump from the White Sox official message board. I just moved to Houston so I'll be catching all three games at the end of May. I can't wait to take my new son to his first Sox games! Love a lot of the moves we made!
