South Side Fireworks Man

QUOTE (shysocks @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 11:26 AM) I have no personal stories, but I guess he's just an unrepentant a-hole. There was a story about him taking a foul tip off his nether regions when he was with the Giants, and kneeing the trainer in the groin when he came over to help. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2005-02...new-sox-enraged That's really the only concrete thing I know of. The rest of baseball's fanbases hitting him just seems to be a snowball thing. "It was once determined that we should not like this guy, so let's dislike him. And of course he headbutted Michael Barrett's fist that one time. It's funny that for a guy that's supposedly so hated by teammates, there are no stories reported in all these years except for a couple during his one year in San Francisco. He was with the Sox for eight full seasons yet no incidents were ever reported by former teammates after he left.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 05:51 PM) The issue with trying to have Johnson, Sanchez and Saladino in the starting lineup potentially for next season is the lack of power. U.S. Cellular Field is a power-park, these guys are not power / RBI type hitters. You can have some of them in the lineup since they bring needed speed, defense and youth but I don't see how you can keep all of them even if Ramirez is let go. Mark I'd like to see the Sox get a competent third baseman with a good bat and play Saladino at ss and keep Sanchez at 2B.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 04:40 PM) Second base. Zero value? He's not declining. I'm sick of watching the White Sox playing circus clown defense. Micah Johnson's not an elite hitter whose bat would compensate for his defensive incompetence. He's also had a problem staying healthy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 02:55 PM) Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 3m3 minutes ago Chicago, IL Micah Johnson back in action for Triple-A Charlotte. I would expect to see him in September in Chicago if healthy Seriously, where would he play? There's no place for Micah Johnson on the White Sox. I hope they trade him before he has zero value.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 05:37 PM) FWIW Viciedo is raking at AAA. He may be a call up Bring him up and start him at DH against lefties.

Sounded like More Red Sox fans in the park.

No double play please.

Now is time for LaRoche to earn some of his salary.

I like Sanchez.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) Stupid base running. Avi is horrible on the bases Avi is pretty horrible in general.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 08:27 PM) Without a doubt. He is one of the most hated players in the league by teammates. There is a reason that he needs to travel from team to team. He is truly one of the most dislikable people you've ever met. In Baseball he is on par with Bonds and sheffield. I know you hate him.

Super Hero night. White Sox are such a lame organization.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 05:28 PM) If you went by players, there is no doubt it would be AJ. I doubt it.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 23, 2015 -> 05:02 PM) If the Sox can get out of this inning without allowing a run I think they win. OK, we'll hold you to that!

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 23, 2015 -> 04:45 PM) LaRoche, you getting paid 12.5 MM to hit homeruns. Do it now! I think this to myself everytime he comes up with men on base lately! He finally does it!

Trade Anderson while he's still considered a top prospect. Trade Micah while he still has some value. Trade Ramirez. Get a legit major league 3rd baseman that can also hit. Saladino at SS. Sanchez at 2B. Get a legit major league first baseman that can also hit. Abreu to DH.

Avi sucks.

When is Avi supposed to start hitting like Miguel Cabrera?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 09:56 PM) Everybody who pays attention to my posts knows I hate this team, but does it seem like a much worse team that its record to you? How is this team not 14 under .500 like cincy? Great manager.

QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 09:26 PM) kyle thele over this article. http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/7/71/88...brooks-robinson it sounded like hawk was trying to say that he didnt say them. Thanks!

Did anybody catch whom Hawk was referring to? He said something about Saladino being compared to Brooks Robinson then said "either he didn't hear right or he's a moron, probably the latter."

I couldn't hear - who did Hawk just call a moron?

This team pisses me off.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 11:21 PM) LaRoche or Ventura? Yes.

Too bad they couldn't pinch hit for Flowers with the bases loaded.
