QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:11 PM) Did Ventura even come out and argue and ask the ump to get help? Also bullpen and clutch hitting are gone. Resting the pen in Texas seems to have ended their mojo. I'm not so sure. It's nice to see the lineup still have some fight in them when the pen goes into mental midget mode. Last year in a game like this, down 2 the guys just wanted to leave.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:58 PM) Literally every Chicago writer/beat reporter is saying that the base runner would have just went back to first. Reading the rule seems to indicate to me he would have been out, what am I missing here? The media is clueless in just about everything.

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:08 PM) The way we are losing these games is sickening. Looks as if things are starting to even out a bit. The mental weakness has returned and it's all in the pen. This is the part of the team where there was very little turnover. Maybe the only way to ever fix this team is not keep guys in a Sox uniform for very long.

At least we don't have to worry about Beckham or Flowers coming up in this situation.

Why couldn;t the 1st base ump call the interference. The guy behind the plate totally missed calling the play at second.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:52 PM) Why didn't Robin challenge the interference call? It can't be challenged. Still no excuse for a pitcher to get the next out.

Albers - mental midget. Another two out clusterf***.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:38 PM) My rule would be if you go to extra innings you bust out the beer. Not a single good swing by anybody that inning. Wow. With Albers in that should change.

If I were a hitter I would find that windup really annoying more than confusing.

QUOTE (1dog @ May 15, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) Sorry if it's been brought up (I only listened to part of the game), but I just heard Hawk say that the Yankees have won the last 141 straight games when leading the game after 8 innings? This seems unbelievable... We should given them Duke.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 15, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) Thought for the Day / Stats of the Day: Thought for the Day: Chase Headley is the new Ryan Raburn. A mediocre player who makes a career of killing the White Sox and ONLY the White Sox. Stats of the Day: We are roughly six weeks into the season and the Sox “5th starter” has yet to record one single, solitary victory. Not…one… On this six game road trip White Sox pitchers allowed 21 TWO OUT RBI’S!!! (That’s ridiculous…) The Sox need to get home and get their collective heads back together. This has not been the same team since they gave away that game Tuesday night in Texas. There obviously has been a hangover from that one and they need to stop it quick. As far as Zach Duke...more and more the deal the Sox gave him is looking like a big mistake. Mark Maybe they have. Today seemed like such a duplicate of last season except for the tying it again. Too many mental midgets in the pen. No clutch. I feel that way with everyone in the pen. No Adam Vinateris in there.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2016 -> 03:37 PM) Not gonna win many games when 3 of the 4 relievers you use give up runs. Can't blame the manager on that. One guy should be able to get an out.

So the Sox hitters have to beat two pens.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2016 -> 02:54 PM) Just seems to struggle in big spots, but I'm sure that's probably just perception. I've always thought of him as one of the mental midgets based on above.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 15, 2016 -> 02:32 PM) This feels like a game the Sox are going to lose. Same here. I'm waiting for that mental midget meltdown.

It's just a reminder this team still has its mental midgets and I wonder how long it will take for the new players to settle in that same role. Sure it was bad game but even when the team is behind there are people in the pen who will give up a run.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:25 PM) I don't want to bring this thread down because this was a terrific win but the Jerry Sands situation does have to be talked about. No use for him on the roster right now. Yep. The reason for this team being so much better is there are few "White Sox" on the roster.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2016 -> 10:14 PM) To be fair our minor league hitters are a complete joke Nothing new under the sun.

You have wonder if both Chi teams dominance is due to more bad teams this year.

QUOTE (South Sider @ May 8, 2016 -> 07:44 AM) Man, I thought Peavy was a crazy competitor but Sale takes the cake. When I saw him smacking his head with a baseball I'm just like... what is your problem dude!? Only in the press and the DL. Still IOM one of the most overrated Sox players ever. Meanwhile the Twins are just really, really bad.

I just noticed Abreau is a big dude. I wouldn't throw at him unless the bases were loaded and no one out,

QUOTE (Tex @ May 6, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) I was just thinking doesn't releasing Danks put the team in a more honest negotiating position. Here is the spot for you. Look at the standings. Don't look at our offer. Look at the standings and here is your spot in the location. Why are you looking at the cash? I told you don't look at the cash, look at the standings. . . Athletes rarely look at it that way.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 3, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Tim Lincecum...COME ON DOWN...You're the next contestant on White Sox 5th start roulette! Danks>broken down career NL. Then again maybe Coop can fix him.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 1, 2016 -> 12:40 PM) I love Lawrie's attitude, enthusiasm and energy. Much better than the lifeless dead clubhouse last year. I was a big fan of acquiring Lawrie when the idea was just a rumor and like the trade even more now. It didn't take long to notice that. They've improved in almost every position this year. If they become mediocre at least it won't be below mediocre like last year. If there is chemistry in baseball the difference so far is the chemistry of a few season's past is broken up.

Down 5-1. That was a watch something else last year.
