Has anyone heard anything about Hawk's future plans on broadcasting?

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) How about that Tim Anderson fella? Him too. He gets a hit, expect another.

QUOTE (InTheDriversSeat @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 10:05 AM) Carlos Rodon (4-8, 4.02) vs. Taijuan Walker (4-8, 4.14) Let's take 3 out of 4 from the Mariners!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 10:08 PM) I remember a few years ago on this very board I suggested Q may end up being more valuable than Sale. I took a lot of heat for it. I backtracked a bit saying I mostly meant with all the talk of Sale being a high risk arm. But Q is the man. Back then there was always talk that Q wasn't legit , he couldn't keep doing it. Smoke and mirrors you heard a lot in reference to Q but he has just kept getting better and better. And he does it while minding his own business. Those are my favorite guys to watch. They respect the game, do what they do, and that's it. They let their talent do the talking. I loved the standing O by the fans today when Q was taken off, and his hat tip. I remember him saying in an interview this year regarding the trade speculation around him at the deadline, he made it very clear that he likes it here and he wants to win a championship in Chicago. He is by far my favorite player wearing a White Sox uniform and I hope he stays for his entire career here, and he's only 27. He has at least 10 more years left in him, barring (God forbid) injuries. Jose Quintana is the real ace of this staff.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) Man, I really would trade Sale before Q. I always liked Q better than Sale. I really hope he gets the Cy Young. He's been so much better and so much more consistent than Sale.

Salad in on the fun

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) Avi is up to .248. Hmmmm. Yeah what's up with that? A bomb of a homer and 2 doubles.

Having an outfield with fantastic arms AND good instincts is a blessing in itself. We have had a lot of runners cut down on the bases this year from Eaton and Melky. Pitchers must love that.

What a fun game to watch, and FINALLY Quintana is getting some run support.

WOW!!!

Jose Abreu's average is slowly creeping up to .300

Todd almost eff'd up there...almost. LEt's go Avi. I'd like to see this starter out by the 3rd inning.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 07:25 PM) He hit that ball HARD I don't think it had any arc to it...

Tim Anderson is our allstar shortstop of the future

Avila just missed catching a fastball right down the middle. Umm...

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) Incredible play by O'Malley Yeah no kidding

Here we go bases loaded, new pitcher, let's do this Timmy.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 10:02 PM) Brian Anderson hit two off Felix 11 years ago tonight. Ah, the good ole days. That's crazy...and Felix is only 30 years old.

It annoys me to no end that the Sox play horrible in front of a large crowd on a Friday night. I know it's Felix Hernandez, but still.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) The idiots from last night are really smart. https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20160826/br...ield-on-500-bet Dumbasses. They deserve what they get, felonies and all.

QUOTE (The Mighty Mite @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 08:37 PM) Is Melky hurt? Hmm yeah I noticed he wasn't in the lineup last night, thought he might just be given a night off, but I thought the beginning of a 4 game series on a thursday would be an odd time to give one of your best hitters some rest. Maybe he is hurt.

QUOTE (Blackout Friday @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 08:07 PM) From the only scouting report I read he throws his fastball around 85mph, unless he has crazy deception or something I wouldn't expect much. He's also Rule 5 eligible. But the fact we got anything for him is a small victory. Well, he probably does have deception because Steve Stone just said he has a lot of strikeouts on his record. According to the whitesox.com article (http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/197828950/white-sox-acquire-left-hander-colton-turner/)... This year Turner has a 1.33 ERA over 54 innings with 70 strikeouts (averaging over 11 strikeouts per 9 innings) between class-a and AA for Toronto. He is 12-9 with a 2.76 ERA and 200 strikeouts in 107 games (16 starts) in the Blue Jays' system. He also had a 5.23 ERA over 9 appearances in AAA. Those seem like pretty solid numbers to me other than the AAA stint which might be of concern...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 04:19 PM) Yep. Very doubtful they ever have consecutive winning seasons again. I would rather have Hahn and Kenny say they want to have a sustained period of consecutive winning seasons with the intent on bringing home a WS trophy during at least one of them, rather than them say their only goal is to bring a championship to Chicago. I, and I think a lot of other fans would agree, want a team that built for longevity, not short-lived dominance (such as April 2016).

Good interview IMO by Hahn. "I wouldn't have taken the general manager position if I didn't think it would be recipe for success...none of us have to be here. We all are here to help bring another championship to Chicago." http://www.csnchicago.com/chicago-white-so...olds-plans-2017
