South Side Fireworks Man

Astros baserunning like the White Sox.

Good throw by Melky. Too bad Soto couldn't hold on.

Need a DP here.

Good play, Alexei.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 30, 2015 -> 03:47 PM) For how he's been used, Viciedo was a much better fit I agree.

Sanchez has a higher baseball IQ than most of the veterans on the Sox.

Sox win!

Time for DR to nail it down.

Atta boy Adam!

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 29, 2015 -> 11:10 PM) Wow. I'm behind. Geo musta got a hit! Did he ever!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 29, 2015 -> 11:08 PM) Come on Geo. remember when you were awesome He remembered!!

Drive 'em in, Melky.

Sanchez on with the go ahead run.

Inconclusive.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 29, 2015 -> 09:34 PM) Coaches can't make up for the poor talent on the field no matter how good they are. The GM put great talent on the field and there's no way anyone can question the job this GM did putting this team together. How is that unclear to you?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 29, 2015 -> 09:29 PM) How can a team that has so few offensive threats also be so bad on defense? It's a lineup with 5 guys who could be number 9 hitters. I don't see how firing a coach fixes that this year. Just a bad team Rick Hahn has certainly put together an impressive array of talent.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 29, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) I hate this defense What defense?

He's out.

Good call by Joe West.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 28, 2015 -> 09:07 PM) It's time to make Gordon Beckham the starting second baseman. Case closed. Sox can't afford to have zero chance of a hit out of its second basemen! This should be a NO BRAINER! Been there, done that. I like Gordon as a utility infielder. He's been doing well in that role - keep him in it.

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 28, 2015 -> 11:57 AM) Joe Torre was a well below .500 manager for his first 3 jobs and about 14 years in the MLB. Bobby Cox was a well below .500 mangaer for his first 6 years in the MLB. In 2012, the Sox weren't in a position to hire a manager that would take 6 to 14 years to become a good manager. Back when they hired LaRussa, they were an organization that wasn't going anywhere and gave him a shot after he managed a couple of years in the minor leagues. He became a good manager after a few years, and teams that hired him after the Sox got themselves an established manager. The Sox hired Ventura without having any previous managing or even coaching experience. Sure, it's possible he may become a good manager after 6 - 14 years but can the Sox afford to find out? Rather than trying to develop a manager they should have tried to hire a manager that was ready.

Time for a rally, folks!

Stupid baserunning by Beckham.

It's been a real pleasure listening to a professional announcer doing Sox telecasts.
