And probably even less people in Chicago, just because.

Win team win! Sis boom de boom dah or something similar to that

 

I will be interested to see how Hector responds to that butt chewin

Q is on the mound I believe

Anderson catching, no Semien

no Semien

Well that's just dumb.

The Orioles are one of the only folks in America who told the NFL to go f*** themselves and lived to tell about it.

Well that makes me like the Orioles.

What an awful offensive effort. Beckham's getting overpowered by 92 mph fastballs tonight.

Garcia almost killed Machado with that liner.

I see we have one run with no RBI for anyone and Q has given up three solo homers. I don't knw what it is about our pitchers and those homeruns allowed but it seems they give up a lot. On the way to seven straight loses

Seeing Tommy Hunter reminds me how he and Chris Davis were traded for Koji Uehara. Now I'm sad that Crain was hurt.

LOL at the White Sox trying to beat the Red Sox, Yankees and Orioles. This is truly one of the least competitive teams in Sox history. They stand no chance of winning with this collection of everyday players. The good starting pitching hasn't helped at all.

Which is one of the reasons a lot of us want them to get the highest draft slot possible so they can have the best chance possible to bring in an impact prospect. There is a giant gap in talent level though on the offensive end between the Sox and these other teams.

Yeah our offense is quite putrid. We stand about a 5 percent chance of beating any team in an East Division ballpark with this current lineup.

But no matter who we draft, it'll take forever for that player to reach the bigs and I have no confidence our ownership will pick the right guy. I probably should stop being a Sox fan considering how little I believe in them right now.

I'd spend the offseason spending some money, signing some guys with a clue at the plate, maybe sign a good set up guy and beg Dunn and Konerko and Keppinger to retire (even though I love Paulie; I'd rather have him retire than sign with another team). This team could easily be out of it by May 1 next year if like I said before Detroit goes 20-8 and we continue this suckage and go 8-20 which is entirely possible especially if Robin stays. I think it's pretty obvious he's overmatched, at least that's my opinion.

I really wish you would stop saying this. It seems like collegiate-level players are being rushed to the majors very quickly, and given the Sox and their love of rushing their prospects through the system, I'll be stunned if they don't have their top pick on the fast track to the majors.

Do you trust one of these college guys to be an impact hitter, though? What about that can't miss guy we got from Auburn or wherever, Mitchell. Isn't he looking like a big bust? I'd sign Abreu and some free agents and try to totally rebuild the lineup with $$$ in one offseason.

Mitchell was like the 23rd pick in the draft and never considered "can't miss." He was an elite HS player and CWS MVP. It's called Google. Stop asking stupid questions and do a minimal amount of research. Www.google.com

Hows that working out for the Sox?

It worked out well with Sale, who is the level of prospect that could possibly be available in the top 3.

If the Sox could get someone like Kris Bryant with the 3rd pick, that player would automatically become their best offensive prospect in a very long time.

He's still a first-round pick. If he flops, somebody should be blamed.

One thing for sure White Sox know how to play like crap in September under Ventura.

No they shouldn't. He was on track and looking great, and then a horrific ankle injury derailed him. Mitchell being a bust is thanks to fate.

It amazes me that everyone overlooks an injury that severe to push their agenda. Sox fans make me sick sometimes. Seriously, it can be hard being a Sox fan when you realize how sports stupid this fan base can be.
