The Cardinal's offense has looked as bad as ours lately, and they're in the bottom ten in the MLB in runs scored, so hopefully LaRoche can have a good couple weeks and pique their interest more.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 7, 2015 -> 08:43 PM) If you can get the Cardinals to take LaRoche and his contract, would you do it? Seems like a no-brainer Yes, absolutely

Very impressive outing by Q so far against this offense. Please get him some runs.

Are we ever going to score 5 runs at home again?

Only 6 teams in the NL have a winning record.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 7, 2015 -> 08:39 AM) They haven't scored 5 runs in a home game in 23 straight. That is their longest streak ever. It's really incredible as they do have some should be decent hitters on the team. What's amazing is that we're 12-11 over that stretch. We haven't scored 5 runs in a home game since May 9th! That's incredibly bad.

http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/vbullet...ad.php?t=143164 Yeah I know, I'm linking to WSI, but I read this post the other day and I think the poster makes a great point. I see so many posts here day in and day out about how it's "clear the players don't give a s***" or just flat out don't care and there's a big difference between saying "this team sucks" and "this team doesn't give a s***". These guys are professionals, they didn't get to this level through lack of caring, they're just not good enough. There's constant criticism here about their supposed lack of effort, but we as posters don't really know how much work the players put in between games or in the offseason. The results might not be there, but I don't think the issue is lack of trying. For those too lazy to click the link, here's the post:

Cubs pitching has been dynamite recently, but they can't buy a run. Their offense looks bad. Rizzo is slumping, Bryant has been just OK the last few weeks outside of his two HR game, Russell has cratered the last month, and everyone else has been mediocre to bad.

Surprised they left Buehrle in to face Abreu and Cabrera.

I have mixed feelings about Buehrle shutting us down.

1 K for Buehrle, 1 run. Classic Buehrle.

Flowers wanted that high, Sale missed his spot.

Really enjoying the pace of this game.

Jays fans complaining that the ump gave Sale his two Ks last inning.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 07:54 PM) blue jays offense is legit They've scored almost 200 more runs than us.

Sale falling behind a lot.

Blue Jays have the second lowest strike out rate against LHP this year.

Unless he picks it up a lot, it looks like the record isn't happening. At least he tied it.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 07:25 PM) JA has been average at best this year, No he hasn't.

No Ks, damn.

At least if our offense gets shut down again I'll be happy for the opposing pitcher.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 03:00 PM) I hope he doesn't pitch at all Yeah he's pitching Saturday so I'd rather he just get the extra rest. Especially considering his heavy workload lately.

Brewers now just 1 game under .500 under Counsell.
