I was in my first year of college in Montreal Canada. My dorm had some common rooms but most of them were taken by the girls and i had to settle for a dungeon type tv room in the basement. I was watching it alone for the most part but in the 8th inning when Dye hit that single a lot of Jays fans came down to watch it with me. I was so shocked and ended up crying a bit once we won it. The jays fans congratulated me and were very happy for me. They are the reason why Toronto is my second favorite team.

Can you rename this thread "depression by the numbers" please??

The Dee Gordon home run might have been the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in the game of baseball (minus the white sox winning in 05). Only two times I cried watching this game.

I have a hard time feeling sorry for athletes who are making millions of dollars while I slave at work, but if I was in Sale's shoes I know this franchise's futility would be eating me alive. I really hope he will be able to put some championship rings on his fingers whether if it is with the Sox or not.

porcello will win because he plays for Boston

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 5, 2016 -> 01:12 AM) this will sound bad but if abreu was playing poorly because he wasn't able to see his son, does that make him a mental midget? I don't have a kid but I can imagine that would be very demoralizing. Maybe Abreu sees his son as something more important than playing a game. Hell I haven't seen my dog in a year and whenever I think about him I get pretty down. I can't imagine what not seeing a son for 3 (?) years would be like. Mental midget? not really. Human? yes.

We are stuck with Shields, nobody is going to want to deal for him this offseason. 2017 rotation: Sale Quintana Shields Rodon Fulmer We better hope Shields and Rodon are good next year

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 12:03 AM) 3-9 is well below .500... Though I'm not even sure what you meant by that. I meant that's a small sample size for a 500 team and doesn't mean anything. Even if this team was 50 and 25 that still wouldn't mean much

That doesn't mean anything considering this is just a 500 team

Just another tip of your cap to a phenomenal pitcher in Santiago. Second time he displays his pitching dominance against the Sox. Oh wait he has a 5.5 ERA against every other team? Hmm.

The masterful santiago

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 01:21 PM) The White Sox have a hitting philosophy? Yes, it's called "tip your cap"

Beckham doing great things since getting away from the White Sox hitting philosophy

Looks like they aren't going the "stretch him to be a starter" route.

Wow this thread is getting really off topic. I am interested to see how Anderson does after the league adjusts to him. I hope he continues to tear it up, he has been quite the spark plug for this offense.

The masterful Gibson

He is out but there isn't enough definitive proof

Cant wait for the false hope run It ain't over boys!

Tired of watching the same old savior turned loser Dunn, Laroche, now Frazier Sigh at least he plays well at 3rd

Shuck looked like a clown on that swing my goodness

right down the gut man choke up on the damn bat

Posted this in the game thread: Adam Eaton's line against Detroit, KC, and Cleveland: .177 AVG, .213 OBP, .302 Slugging He really needs to get going against them. If he can get out of this mental funk against these teams then the rest of the lineup will follow.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 12, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) LOL at the patsies, the White Sox. Once again they are just what the doctor ordered for a lousy, struggling KC team. Ventura can't get anybody out and he shuts down our horrible lineup. So Sox are 2-7 vs. KC this year. What a joke. 2-7 against a lousy Royals team with a bunch of no names in the lineup and horrible starting pitchers who get healthy on the Sox. Sox are one of the worst teams in baseball, that is now a fact. It is a mental thing For example you have Adam Eaton, who is on record of saying that the team was mentally defeated after last years opening series 4 game sweep to the Royals. He said they couldn't shake the feeling all year. Adam Eaton's line against Detroit, KC, and Cleveland: .177 AVG, .213 OBP, .302 Slugging He is just an example, I love Eaton and no I am not saying we should replace him or whatever. He is an amazing hitter, just not against these 3 teams. Whatever mental bug these guys have against the Central (minus the Twins) needs to be figured out if we want to have a chance at making a run in this division.

Has been happening for years

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 12:55 PM) If Anderson is worse than Rollins and Shields worse than Latos and/or Anderson, someone is building their own grave. So I would think they are confident these are upgrades. Shields was awful, but he's not that bad. I think there is better than 50/50 shot he is better than Latos. Whether that's worth picking up the money they pay him, I don't know. If Anderson falls on his face, he'll just go back to Charlotte and Sanchez or someone else will take his place. It shouldn't be all that hard to get at least Rollins level production, but as we have seen before, sometimes that isn't as easy as it seems. So tired of the negativity. This team is at .500 with only 3.5 GB AT THE START OF JUNE! There is still months left. You would think the way you have been posting this team is 10 GB. There's still plenty of the season left. Must be brutal and depressing watching this team hoping shields is as bad or worse than shields.
