Leonard Zelig

Just got home. I thought Hawk did road games, and is that Aaron Rowand?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 12:26 PM) Yes, they need that, and to be active for 90 days, so they won't be hidden on the DL. So that's the same rule? I thought Nieto had to be on the roster all season? Covey was recalled from the minors?

I see, what's the deal where the guy has to be on the 25 man roster all season? Like that young catcher we had a few years ago?

Why does he need 90 days on the roster?

Rumor is the special guest is Serengeti.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 02:17 PM) As someone pointed out earlier here, this actually increases the chance that Sox will offer Melky a one year deal next off season. Not sure I really want that to happen, but I cannot root for the Royals.

Don't know much about the return, but it sucks that I can't root for Melky anymore.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 01:50 PM) Will this team ever string together two wins ever again? That might be tough because before you can win two, you have to win one.

Sox are wearing some throwback unis.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 28, 2017 -> 01:55 PM) Way, way better chance. JD Martinez was traded for squadoosh because there isn't a market for corner outfielders who don't play much defense. Best the Sox are really going to get for Melky is an organizational type player, and they'll still probably have to eat part or all of his contract. I'd be very surprised, assuming he's on the Sox past July 31st (and there's still a good chance of that), if he is claimed on waivers. Very, very surprised. Well yeah, if the Sox are going to send considerable money in the trade, that obviously changes the scenario.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 28, 2017 -> 01:04 PM) I think they would let him go too, but I would say the odds of a team claiming him are right around 2%. He's going to make $5 million from August 1st through the end of the season. He's going to accumulate like 0.3 WAR in that time. He's a good hitter and offers nothing else, and there isn't a market for outfielders at this moment. He will be traded to a contender to be a situational bat down the stretch some time between now and August 31st. If he isn't traded by the postseason roster deadline, then he will remain in Chicago until his contract lapses at the end of the season, and he will sign elsewhere in the offseason. So you think there is a greater chance that a team trades for him than a team claims him?

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 28, 2017 -> 11:17 AM) I typically follow games in the loss column. We are currently 4 losses behind the Phillies, but that gap has been closing fast as we keep losing. Wins are more important in this case. The Sox could lose every game left this season and still not finish with the worst record. They need PHI to pass them in wins in order to have the worst record.

If Melky was put on waivers and claimed, would the Sox let the team have him for nothing?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 28, 2017 -> 10:57 AM) Sox are 2-15 the last 17, and 15 of the next 18 games are against teams that currently hold a playoff spot. Could be looking at a historically bad 35 game stretch. '88 Orioles started their season 5-30, not sure if that is the worst or not, but it began with a 21 game losing streak.

GnR is playing St. Louis tonight for the first time since the infamous riot in 1991.

Frazier's first at bat in Yankee Stadium was a run-scoring triple play.

Just got back from 10 days in Costa Rica. What a beautiful country.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 11:42 AM) Last I saw, they were waiting to see how they started July to determine whether they are buying or selling. They 5.5 out of first and still have to jump the Cubs to get there. They are 7.5 our of the WC and have to jump the Cubs and Rockies or Dbacks. Some might say the Cubs have to jump the Cardinals.

Did Hawk just say "Damn" after that play?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 12:16 AM) Thank you. Ynoa has talent but right now, he sucks. They may lose him to a non-contender, like the Phillies, but it happens. If the Nationals claimed Ynoa thinking he will fix their bullpen woes, I'd be surprised. If they claim him and he DOES fix their bullpen woes, I'll buy everyone beef sandwiches from Portillos. Joe Cool just created 5 new accounts.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 08:31 AM) If AHCA doesn't pass and he just repeals Obamacare, what is the healthcare system we'll have? Anarchy?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 11:43 AM) pee tape is real elaborate?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 25, 2017 -> 11:07 PM) Would Ozzie come back? I don't know, but if not, maybe they could get one of his sons.
