  1. Not so fast...I hear the Yomiyuri Giants are looking for a catcher
  2. A problem is that there is very little middle ground with this team. Some nights they look quite good, and are fun to watch especially when the young core guys are getting it done. But often they are grossly overmatched and I do not mean only by good teams like the Astros. That being said, a good game from Giolito and a split in Houston would be a very nice. It would be great to have some confidence going into Minnesota.
  3. Tilson seems like another nice guy to root for. As a lifelong Sox fan, I just love hearing a post game interview with a local guy who says being traded here was one of the best days of his life. Are they going to go with a platoon of Tilson and Cordell for the foreseeable future?
  4. I don't know about any hurry in giving him an extension since he is arbitration eligible next year so let's see what a full season looks like from him. But just from a defensive standpoint and how he works with the pitchers, he absolutely should be the #1 catcher on this team right now getting most of the starts behind the plate.
  5. Would have been nice to not have had to use Colome but a great win!!!
  6. Just checked the box score and I see Tilson is having his typical all or nothing game...2 strikeouts and a home run ?
  7. Not long enough...that was awesome.
  8. Billy Pierce was absolutely my late father's favorite all time player so he holds a special place in my heart. Minnie Minoso was one of the greatest ambassadors for baseball and life that this city has ever seen. He once came to the downtown office where my wife was working and he gave her a signed autograph that she gave to her lucky fiancé as I was at the time. She said he was the nicest man.
  9. This guy had a no hitter going for the Padres against the Mets back in 2014. Daniel Murphy broke it up with 2 outs in the 8th. Someone in the front office must have watched that game and bided their time until he became available..."Hey this guy reminds me of Philip Humber"
  10. I have confidence that Alonso can get that avg up to .184 in those 38 more at bats
  11. You can talk all you want about Harper and his WAR numbers and productivity and I get that. But sometimes you do need to look at other things; Harper is a superstar as far as marketing and he would have changed the perception of the White Sox around the league and around the country. It was just a missed opportunity when they had money "that will be spent" to spend.
  12. Why in the hell did Hahn even have to throw in a lottery ticket like Tatis into that deal? Erik Johnson should have been more than enough for a James Shields who sucked and was being called out by the owner for how much he sucked if I recall correctly. Hahn was doing the Padres a favor taking him off their hands.
  13. Eaton trade looking great for Sox this week ?
  14. MLB.com has an article listing the MVPs so far for each team and for the White Sox they listed Jose Abreu? I would be hard pressed to make that argument honestly.
  15. Wow, if our starters keep going so deep into games (except Covey of course) it's going to really help the bullpen and make Ricky look a hell of a lot smarter
  16. The children's book thats how you make a mummy will be available on the prize shelf next week
  17. Yes,. It is actually clause #78 right after the one that says Jason can mention that Stone posed for Playgirl magazine only once per season
  18. Think of how that pitcher's Mom feels.,..for shame Timmy
  19. Watching on game day....what in the ass was leury swinging at on the first 2 pitches?
