WOW! Nice job, Hector. Didn't think you had it in you (and still don't), but way to give your team a chance to win tonight. Bravo!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 20, 2014 -> 10:31 PM) Sox win 7-6 Again!!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 20, 2014 -> 10:25 PM) Never easy That's the way Abner designed it!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 20, 2014 -> 10:07 PM) I think Hawk just came. The all-around best shortstop in the game this year! HUGE PLAY!!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 20, 2014 -> 09:44 PM) No. Last year he was hurt. 2010 he was on fire the second half but got hurt and didn't play much. 2011 and 2012 were bad. As I have stated before, if he can stay healthy, and so far he hasn't really proven he can, he will still be a very good player. Much to the chagrin of many on this board who love to hate for some reason. 100% agree. Well said!

Right size, RIGHT shape on that one for Dunn!

BIG DONKEEEEEEY!!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 20, 2014 -> 09:22 PM) When are people going to admit Beckham is looking good. It's obvious he is. He's been swinging the bat well for awhile now, even on many of the outs he's made, which is why Hawk likes to point that out all the time. It is encouraging, but obviously a long way to go.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 20, 2014 -> 09:15 PM) Looking like Belly I'd be down with that at this point.

Way to get out of it, Andre! Nice start tonight!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 20, 2014 -> 08:23 PM) In the past he has loved the toolsy picks after watching Sox with nothing to show for it he finally changed his tune. Which toolsy picks are you referring to that he professed this love for? Mitchell? Borchard? I don't remember him particularly going crazy talking about either of them, but I could be wrong.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 20, 2014 -> 08:16 PM) Yet Hawk loves the toolsy picked players and how is that working out Hawk? Sox cannot even call up a decent OF we have to get scraps off waivers. He just said he doesn't care for drafting the "best athlete available", i.e. the toolsy player.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2014 -> 08:12 PM) Hawk just said a high school pitcher is the worst draft choice in baseball.....UGH He and Stone have rather consistently expressed that point of view.

Great come-from-behind offense and superb bullpen work, Lindstrom notwithstanding!

Wow - four solid innings between Putnam and "Bella". No hits and only one walk between them. Just outstanding!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 19, 2014 -> 08:57 PM) This game is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S And continues to be!

QUOTE (Vance Law @ May 15, 2014 -> 10:43 PM) this was meant to be in green? Very, very green.

Just an odd slide in general by Alexei, but we'll take it!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 08:41 PM) Reinzo LOL!!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 08:35 PM) Sox 6-3 thru 6 Go ahead, say it: "Thank you, Mr. Rienzo!"

Whether Rienzo ever makes it as a starter or not, he certainly put in a performance tonight that any 4th or 5th starter could be happy with.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 07:51 PM) 5 innings 3 runs given up. I'll take it all day long. He's given his team a chance to win. That's all you can ask.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 01:23 PM) I should point out that ALL of the top 20 most attended Sox seasons were under Reinsdorf, with all but four(as of the 2010 media guide) being at the new, unhip, undesirable, park. All of these years have had the black, i mean unsafe, element in the area. Because that's what you're getting at, right? The White Sox have topped two million fans in only 13 of the 33 years during the Reinsdorf ownership, so Jerry's not going to win any awards for getting those turnstyles to spin. My point is that the primary reason for this inability to draw better is that the location simply doesn't have the greatest reputation. There is a perception, rightly or wrongly, that the area isn't the safest, but it also has to do with the fact the area around the ballpark isn't considered to be all that exciting. That has been the rap for years, and unfortunately no matter what the organization has tried, from ballpark renovations to price reductions to 10 pound ice cream sundaes, they have not been able to overcome that stigma to consistently draw the types of crowds one would expect from a large market team.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 12:20 PM) yet sox attendance the last 30 years has been better than the previous 80. when the location was more desirable, i mean white. Comparing the attendance of the last 30 years to that of the previous 80 is damning with faint praise at best. The attendance of the past 30 years has still been quite pathetic for the most part, and in particular when you consider this is a large market we are talking about here. Fairly or not, the location has been maligned over the years, resulting in many people finding it to be somewhat undesirable; hence, attendance suppression. I don't see any other plausible reason to explain this chronic attendance problem for the South Side ballclub.
