I really think Sale will have many shots at no hitters before his career is over. No need to risk cutting that career short to let him finish today. If he throws 120+ pitches tonight (even if he gets a no hitter), Robin should be fired right after the game.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 22, 2014 -> 07:17 PM) Any way Sox have a shot at Rodon? If he isn't taken in the top 2 picks, than we have a great shot

So if Sale still has a no hitter after 7 innings, but has thrown 110 pitches.....Does Robin take him out? I hope so

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 22, 2014 -> 07:48 PM) Especially since there were only two men on. Those are the toughest grand slams to hit

Time for Bacon Slayer to keep this two out rally going!

I guess Paulie didn't need to steal third base to score. Don't stop now Sox!

I'd love to see Paulie try to steal third here....I think it would really take the Yankees by surprise.

Great start by Sale! Only drawback is that pitch count is a bit high for 2 innings. I definitely hope Robin doesn't let him go 129 pitches again in his first start back. I'd like to keep about 100 pitches and than let the bullpen go to work.

Those are some great prices! Wish I was near Chicago.....I'd be there for the entire series.

Come on Robin. Bring in Leury to close this out.

This mock has UNLV ace Erick Fedde dropping all the way to the Cardinals at 34 as a result of his Tommy John surgery. Honestly, I don't think he drops that far, but if happens to last until our pick in round 2, I'd love to see the Sox take him. Obviously, he'll be out for a while recovering, but this kid is the real deal and will likely be a top starter in 3-4 years for whatever team gets him.

As bad as Cleto has been this inning, we'd still be out of it with no runs scored if Moses doesn't drop the ball. Get rid of him as well and get Danks back up here.

For those of you not a fan of Hawk, it could be a hell of lot worse. I was stuck listening the Cubs announcers Tuesday night on WGN. Granted, the game wasn't the most entertaining but those bozos (whomever they were) almost put me to sleep.

Hawk is god. The man should be a GM

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 7, 2014 -> 11:37 PM) Caulfield, you say there's nothing they can do. There is something they can do, and it's really easy - lower prices. We covered this last year, but the tickets prices are insane for a series that has basically no hype around it anymore and 2 rebuilding teams. $79 to sit in the bleachers? When Friday vs Arizona it's $23. LOL. Honestly, I'd rather see us play Arizona than to see us play the Cubs. Better opponent and more importantly, less obnoxious fans around you. I agree with a lot of the things the Sox do marketing wise, but dynamic pricing is definitely a mistake. Make the average ticket half of what it was tonight and you'd have twice as many fans in the stadium.

So after we win tonight, does ESPN stick around for the awarding of the Crosstown Cup?

The Cubs just called.....they want their 14 tile back.

Paulie!!!! Paulie!!!! Paulie!!!!

The Bacon Slayer is back!!!!!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 4, 2014 -> 04:43 PM) By my rough math of Abreu's HR/PA and giving him 700 PA appearances on the season, he is on pace to hit 60. Factor in that Cubans hit even better in warmer weather and we're looking at an 80 HR season!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 4, 2014 -> 07:01 PM) If you think it's only the Sox with an attendance problem, turn on ESPN. Half full Wrigley for a Sunday night Cubs Cards. Baseball is dead in Chicago. And if they weren't playing the Cardinals, it would be even emptier. I think the crowd for St Louis have been almost as vocal as Cubs fans have been tonight.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 08:46 PM) What was Walkers plan exactly? To make sure every White Sox player he coached ended their career with a worse batting average than he posted.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 08:27 PM) There are a lot of guys who have much better approaches this year. Dayan is one for sure. Walker had developed such bad habits in some of our players that it took a few years to reverse them. We are now finally seeing the Walker effect negated on players like Tank, Dunn, and Lexi.

It appears that Adam is back and will be a key component to our playoff push in 2014. I'm wondering if we should negotiate a new deal now before he posts a 35 HR / 100 RBI season and drives his asking rate through the roof. I'm thinking that Hahn should offer a deal now for about 4 years / $28 million and see if we can get him locked in at an affordable rate. Whats everyone else think?

Robin needs to come out and punch the umpire in the face. It's ridiculous that the men in blue gift the Injuns a run and RV lets them get away with it.
