Pathetic effort all the way around except for Q.

I'm more angry that Robin didn't pull him after the first batter reached. He was clearly gassed and had nothing left. Robin gonna Robin.

That being said, Robin is a f***ing moron for even letting him start that inning. He was clearly gassed.

It's annoying that Sale's ERA went up a bit, but hopefully he gets a win to make up for it.

There we go!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 06:38 PM) What Jersey number for Anderson? #12 for now, but I think he'll switch to #7 at some point.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) What happened to him? He has a hip impingement. I don't even know what that is, but it must be really severe for him to miss the whole season.

Petricka is done for the year? His injury must have been way worse than I thought.

I'm really happy for Tim, he worked his ass off and is finally getting his chance. Hopefully he makes the most of it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) 6.2 IP 8h 2ER 1BB 10K That's definitely encouraging. I'd much rather see him give up hits than walks.

QUOTE (ronkark @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) Continuing our long tradition of promoting undeserving people, I give you Tyler Danish. Pitching in a pitchers park. he was 3-7 with an era of 4.42. If that doesn't sell it all, he's given up 5 or more earned runs in 3 of his last 6 starts. Also 47 K's in 75 innings. Nothing about that translates to major league success. This is a rush job and only reasoning I can think of is they are showcasing him as trade bait. Otherwise, you're better off with Fulmer and yes I know about the control. He's not ready either. But he's a higher prospect and they are both struggling so may as well promote the higher prospect. I get the feeling that Danish will only be in Chicago for a couple days as a stopgap, but who knows.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 04:03 PM) Your posts lately have become a joke. Ignore me then. I don't care what you think.

The White Sox organization is such a joke.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) Do they even have enough legit talent to be considered a "good team?" In theory, a team with Sale/Quintana/Rodon/Eaton/Abreu/Frazier/Lawrie/Cabrera/Robertson all relatively in their primes should be good...unfortunately, that isn't the case.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 09:30 PM) Dude...... What? Never said those trades are realistic, I was just trying to generate some discussion as to how the future would look if the Sox traded two of their studs.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 09:24 PM) Yeah....give it a year or two of 70 win teams like you're asking for, you're going to be singing a different tune. I don't disagree with your premise, but it's not that simple, and you're basically admitting you are just sick of what you are watching and want something different, anything different. If it was a 70 win team with young potential in the minors (like the 2014 Cubs), I'd absolutely watch that and be confident that the team had a chance to improve in the future. Watching the Sox these days, that just isn't the case. Besides Anderson, the rest of the farm system has been very disappointing this year; and even Anderson isn't a sure thing. The Sox are in a tough position in the sense that they have legit talent at the MLB level (albeit, not enough to be an elite team), but have very little talent in the lower levels. If the big league sucks (like they have lately), then the organization is f***ed from top to bottom. It sucks, but it didn't have to be like this. Jerry/Kenny/Hahn created this disaster and now they have to deal with the consequences of a very poor team and an angry fanbase.

Just as some hypothetical examples: The Sox trade Sale to Boston for Benintendi, Moncada, Devers, Rodriguez, Bradley, and Swihart. The Sox trade Quintana to the Cubs for Almora, Contreras, Baez, Edwards, Covey, and Russell. Just by trading 2 of their main assets, the Sox would add so much young talent to the minor leagues that could have sustainable success in the future. Obviously these trades wouldn't be exactly how I listed, but you guys get where I'm going. Accumulating young talent is the key to success in baseball these days. Not the crap that the Sox do year after year.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 09:15 PM) The Sox haven't developed a quality major league hitter since Magglio. Why do you think the Sox would be able to pull off a rebuild? That's true, but I really don't care at this point. I'm tired of the "rebuild while competing" BS. Either go all in and deal Anderson/Fulmer/Adams for legit MLB talent or do the opposite and trade everyone with value away. Obviously, rebuilding is a risk (especially considering how the Sox scout talent), but I'd much rather watch a young team with potential than this garbage they have now year after year. I'm sick of it. If they go all in, fine. I just don't want them to stand pat with a 75 win team like they have in past years. It isn't fair to the fans.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) Fire sale? Yeah right. It will never happen as long as Jerry is running things, but that is what I think they should do.

Trade Sale, Q, Eaton, Frazier, Abreu, Melky, DRob, Lawrie, and anyone else with valuable right now. Start over completely. With the draft coming up and the prospects the Sox would get from dealing these guys, the future would be bright. Very bright.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 11:13 PM) Um. James Shields. In this context, he's starting tomorrow. You're free to ignore me - as I'm not going to edit myself to appease you. Tallyhoe. I'm not asking for you to appease me, I just don't know why you post the same silly GIF over and over again.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 11:09 PM) All I've gotta say is... /me drops mic. I've seen you post this GIF at least 5 times today. What are you trying to say? Stop.

This is, absolutely, 100%, my least favorite White Sox team I've watched since I became a fan. It's one thing to downright suck like they have the past few years because they simply didn't have the talent, but this team is totally different. They showed they had the potential to win and be successful as a team early in the year, but they still managed to choke away a SIX, SEVEN, AND EIGHT game lead over their 3 main divisional opponents in LESS THAN A MONTH. It's ridiculously sad, pathetic, and embarrassing. I'm at my wits end watching this garbage.

Please demote Latos.
