So sad. RIP to a legend.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:31 AM) I basically assume that everyone on here is an adult. It's nice to know that there are other people my age here. I'm basically 16 too, my birthday's in a couple weeks. But yeah, I post on Soxtalk a lot; I find it cool that there are so many people with unique opinions on our team that I can interact with. Most of my friends are Sox fans, but only a couple are die-hards. Sadly, there aren't many young fans like us anymore. The only drawback to being this young on Soxtalk is not getting the historical references all the time! The first Sox team I followed in a "die-hard" fashion was that lowly 07 team. It was pretty rough. Many people assume my first team was 05- I really wish it could have been that way. If that was your first team, I'm definitely jealous! It actually was. I was only 6 at the time they won it all (I turned 7 the day after they clinched), so that was definitely an amazing experience. I don't remember everything about that year since I was so young, but I do remember certain portions of it. The first game I went was that year as well. I've been a die hard fan of every Sox team since then. It's too bad we haven't had anything good to root for lately. Hopefully they surprise us and at least make the Wild Card game this year. That would satisfy me.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:17 AM) Could've PM'd me but yeah I didn't mean it in a bad way. It's a compliment. I thought you were an adult for sure. I'm only 16 anyway lol.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:24 PM) Just annoyed by all the overreacting, want to keep looking forward You're only 15? I thought you were way older than that.

This team is in an awful spot. Right around .500 at the deadline. Who knows whether to buy or sell. Either way, the critics will come out.

You guys are all overreacting. Everyone has bad starts now and then and he's obviously hurt. They should've taken him out looking back at it.

Even the best have bad starts.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) Is Chris hurting? That ball hit him really hard. He can't be 100% right now.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:34 PM) The rain is clearly bothering Chris. No Idea why they just don't go on a delay I think it's the injury personally. He's pitched in rainy conditions with no problems before.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:31 PM) Ok, because IMO, he's looked sharp, Boston has just been hitting very well. He's given up 6 hits, but 4 of them have been ducksnorts/Kansas City Specials.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:29 PM) Sale hasn't been very sharp since the ASB. He had too much of a break in between starts. He needs to get in a rhythm again.

Wow lol.

What a throw by Shuck.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 07:39 PM) Seattle wtf man. What a s*** season. You could say that about us up until a week ago.

I wonder if they'll work on his leg in between innings.

I'm gonna cry if he has to go on the DL.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 05:14 PM) I have a feeling that we are in a 3-team trade with the Pirates and Tigers involving Soria, Sellers, and Cespedes. Who would want Sellers? LOL.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:39 PM) They might have the most delusional fans. They're the same ones that think they can trade a prospect or two for Chris Sale.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:22 PM) Im keeping Robo as the closer I'm just saying it was all a hypothetical if you look at the proposed package it was laughable. But really it would be smart to have Kimbo Slice in the 8th and Robo as the closer. Like I said it shortens the game and it would be with the intention of using it for the wild card chase and then using Kimbrel as a trade chip to add something of significance in the offseason. Plus it C-blocks the Cubs This is what I'm saying. I'd pay $74 million for two closers if we could make the playoffs.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:17 PM) No it isn't? They had Greg Holland. He was/is their closer. So? Then the Sox have two closers instead of one. It'd be even better. Shortening the game is important nowadays.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) I never said anything about Garcia. I think it's dumb to have two expensive, premier closers on one team. He has improved over the past week or so, though How is it dumb? That's just like the Royals did last year.

Imagine Kimbrel and Robertson as a duo? Wow.

Make a trade Rickypoo.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) We now have 6 pages across 2 threads discussing Justin f***ing Sellers Ha. Watch the news leak that we traded Sale for him. lol

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 03:13 PM) Original source on the Sellers deal is a 14 year old self-described reporter who hosts his own website. He seems full of BS. I don't see how a teenager that age has any job, let alone a professional baseball gig.
