QUOTE (soxfan49 @ May 23, 2016 -> 05:01 PM) Any Comcast people have any luck with CSN yet? XFinity can go die in a f***ing fire. First they assault you via those commercials with the people dancing with satellite dishes, and then they follow that up by being a terrible service.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 23, 2016 -> 01:33 PM) Oh no. Latos & Johnson, that can only spell bad things.

I agree with Maddon about the Intentional Walk. That needs to stay the way it is.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) DFA time for Peavy. Probably worst starter I have seen this year Coop'll fix him...

Well, there is another bat, Jose Abreu just misplaced it. Maybe his dog ate it or something. Considering this teams needs (and the fact that it's 2 months into the season), I think I'd rather they look for rotation help and cross their fingers that he comes around.

The series in Texas (more specifically, the 8th inning of the 13-11 loss) was as profound a face-plant as I could imagine. If you're an offense that puts up 11 runs going into the bottom of the 8th (up 11-6), only to watch your bullpen fail as utterly as they did- 7 runs, a blown lead, and on top of that, you only have 3 measly outs for any sort of rebuttal once that half inning comes to a merciful end- it's no surprise that things haven't felt right since. The White Sox bullpen ambushed the White Sox that night.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 20, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) In reality, everyone in baseball whether pitcher, hitter, manager, mascot should be asked about Quintana every day of their lives. Quoted for emphasis.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 20, 2016 -> 09:22 AM) Next 29: Royals 10 games (6-4) Indians 7 games (4-3) Tigers 6 games (4-2) Mets/Nationals (3-3) 17-12. 42-28 on June 19. That would be incredible.

Frustrating (non)call, but WTF is Albers about lately?

QUOTE (Brian @ May 17, 2016 -> 12:27 PM) I keep thinking its Enzo Amore Enzo Gorlami

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ May 17, 2016 -> 06:55 AM) Worried about this one. Houston's got a powerful and patient lineup, which will probably do well against Rodon's control weaknesses. Keuchel is struggling but he totally destroyed us last year. Houston really worries me too. It's far too early in the season yet to throw dirt on a team with a s***ty start, just as it's far too early to crown those with a hot start.

That was going to happen sooner or later.

I hope Billy Beane is pleased with himself about that Russell trade. If they do end up winning, he's probably more deserving of a ring than 2 or 3 members of the actual roster.

Rossy!

I used to just have the tv and radio on while tending to other things at times over the past few years. The tv was turned off when things started getting unwatchable, which was a common occurrence. I know it's not measured in ratings, but already twice this year, I've delayed taking a s*** until the game was over so as to not miss anything.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 11, 2016 -> 01:27 PM) Moments like this, you have to love Hawk I like Hawk during moments like this.

Glad for the off day tomorrow.

Sox very angered by last night. Very angered.

That one's pretty clever...if you're a boxing fan and older than 30. Another link on that page has "Nats make Stephen king, earn shining W". Somebody at mlb.com loves their job...

Profound.

oh lordy

That there by Eaton was some 2016 Cubs s***.

Bracing myself for this one, much as I did for the series opener in Toronto. That one ended well, in spite of Gonzalez. I'll happily take something similar.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 5, 2016 -> 01:49 PM) In THIS country its a tiny blip. In terms of deaths of US citizens its extremely minor. Worldwide there has been about 300-350 US deaths by terrorism in the last decade. On average that is 30 per year. For comparison, texting and driving kills 11 TEENS every single day. But it has a way of creeping into just about everything. I agree, an attack here is pretty far down my list of concerns- but body counts aren't the purpose of terrorism.
