May 27, 201411 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 26, 2014 -> 07:16 PM) I love Conor.. I don't care if he never hits a home run again They did a stat on the pre-game today. The Sox have 2 HR from the 3B position, and both are from Semien. But there are a lot of teams in the same boat as the Sox with 2 or 3 homers at 3B. Gee, wonder why?

But there are a lot of teams in the same boat as the Sox with 2 or 3 homers at 3B. Gee, wonder why? I don't see why just because someone plays 3B/1B/LF/RF they have to be a power hitter.. We have enough power throughout our line up where we don't need the power, if he can just get on base and hit those gap doubles it will do just fine for this line up.. Doesn't look like a #2 hitter but the way he is going he would be good in the 2 hole if we already didn't have a lefty leading off

But there are a lot of teams in the same boat as the Sox with 2 or 3 homers at 3B. Gee, wonder why? I still don't know how that deep fly from Semien steered foul today. Looked like a HR off the bat and all the way to the pole. Good win today. Gillaspie is for real. Our hitting coach must be some kind of guru. Gillaspie looked like George Brett today, minus the 25-30 HR power. Spraying doubles all over the place. Also, Q is really impressive at times. Our big three of Sale, Q and Danks isn't half bad. If Danks is the Danks who pitched the last game, we have 3/5s of a very SOLID rotation.

May 27, 201411 yr https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/470957604802277376 The Sox actually apologized over this. People need to lighten the f*** up.

May 27, 201411 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 26, 2014 -> 09:46 PM) What happened? Sorry, twitter/youtube/fb are blocked in China. Memorial Day means BBQ and baseball! OK, maybe it doesn't "mean" that, but considering all that the Sox do in the community and for the armed forces, maybe people can take that into consideration and just let it go. People love to be offended.

If they watched the game today they'd know the Sox respect veterans and Memorial Day. You have to be really reaching to find offense with that "BBQ & Baseball" comment. Unbelievable...
May 27, 201411 yr They tweeted this first: https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/470912279962480640 We honor all of those & their families who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom of this country. Context. They did nothing wrong at all.
May 27, 201411 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 26, 2014 -> 09:11 PM) I don't really care but a MLB marketing department should know better than that. If you listen to any radio broadcast, Farmer ALWAYS goes above-and-beyond to thank servicemen and women, maybe TOO much, if that's possible. He was telling the story about going to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington and witnessing the changing of the guard, etc. Not to mention God, Bless America, National Anthem performed by member of the armed forces, etc. The marketing angle was for it to be a "family outing/picnic/BBQ," obviously. My father was in the military and I would never begin to take offense at that. Edited May 27, 201411 yr by caulfield12

I am just saying that nowadays if you are in charge of a social media account for a pro sports franchise, you need to be aware that people could be offended.

If anybody is upset with this, they need to get laid fast. Give me a break. Today's game was so awesome from a Memorial Day standpoint. The Sox did a ton of things to respect the day and the people the day is about. Good job, White Sox. Who gives a f*** about an innocent Twitter post? Geezus. There are things to worry about and get pissed about that Tweet was NOT one of them. And to a lot of people Memorial Day is about BBQ and baseball. It GOES WITHOUT SAYING it's also about honoring the people who have served. The Sox made that clear today and in another tweet. Edited May 27, 201411 yr by greg775
May 27, 201411 yr WIthout a catchall thread I wanted to say this. I was driving down and back from STL sat and sunday listening to the game on the radio which I rarely have (I used to have the mlb gameday package where I would listen at work). I was actually really enjoying myself Saturday with Farmer and DJ. Though it was killer not actually seeing what happened on the Nieto play on Sat.
