QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 04:28 PM) Unless it is a serious overpay like the last notable Sox/Cub trade. The cubs directly helped the White Sox win the world series with a really stupid trade....have them do it again. That's what it would take. But I'd rather see them overpay the Padres for Shields.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 04:25 PM) Given Reinsdorf's comments about not wanting to see the Cubs win a WS until after he dies, I would be very shocked to see the Sox trade with the Cubs when the Cubs are contenders. Exactly. Dont risk it and dont help them.

I really hate Castro

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 04:23 PM) To the Cubs? Right

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 04:21 PM) what was the conversation??? It was about Shark ofcourse. But still the odds of that happening are probably slim to none.

Can these 3 turds stop talking about a trade that's not going to happen

Stupid base running by the Cubs

What the hell is Alexei swinging at?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 04:00 PM) So let's say people believe. Find me a 3b or a C who might be available? That's the problem. But it has to get fixed anyway. Now or in a few months.

You know I was thinking about a few years ago with Alex Rios. Right about when this transformation Hahn tried to do had taken place. Alex Rios had been jogging to first base and playing stupid in the OF the entire year. But JUST before the trade deadline Robin benches him for jogging to first. Look at what's going on this year. Issues all year and he benches Eaton recently. Well great but the problems are going on. He gets mad in the dug out the other day. He really has a problem with making moves late in the process. We saw signs of it years ago but now it's really evident. Now the players have completely given up on him.

Clearly his best isnt enough

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 09:29 PM) Hey--guess what, kids? If the A's win, the Sox will have the worst record in the AL on June 19. Some more good news

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 09:22 PM) The sad thing is...that's become a completely fair question. Hell at least people are still asking questions enough to care. The end of the season they won't even bother. It's valid but it was the correct response. If he responded with any other answer I would have been worried.

Well Robin answered questions for 30 seconds. Said it wasnt a tough decision to pull Sale. Said blown saves happen and walked away. Get this f***ing guy out of here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 08:42 PM) "Melky is my #2 hitter" Yep that's a good one. Robin seems okay with it though.

Good news is we'll get a nice press conference from Robin telling us he's tired of talking about losing and all the players know this is bad. So it's all good. He needs to start borrowing quotes from Lovie. " This sun will come up tomorrow" or my favorite "We'll go from there"

One thing that I've noticed...what we think is fair and what we've been getting from certain trades is not the same. We normally get much less than expected. Part of the reason why I'm extremely resistant to trading Sale.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 08:28 PM) This has to be the last game for Ventura and Stevenson, right? We could go on an all time losing streak and Robin wouldnt get fired.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 08:20 PM) Sometimes you just have to laugh. Oh it's gone beyond that

Flowers homered. That's a pass for another 2 weeks from this coaching staff/management.

I'm a little afraid to open the fire sale thread.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 06:44 PM) Tyler Flowers' wife calls out Sox lol. For the charity, they donate 1000 dollars for every win, so they need to start winning lol. If he stopped blowing ass that would certainly help. Ofcourse that isnt going to happen.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 08:40 PM) Awesome. Cant wait to watch us suck tomorrow live My suggestion is to drink heavily.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 08:27 PM) LOL nobody will comment on the point I made in my post that Danks is the LEAST of the Sox problems. If he sucks, what is the word to describe Noesi and some of the god-awful relievers and No. 5 starters this team has had the past few years? Danks gives up 3 runs in 7 innings and sucks? I beg to differ. You realize his statistics that say he isnt good arent based on one game right? I know how frightened you are with numbers.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 08:08 PM) Yes this is definitely because the guys don't care. They havent shown it. They've made zero changes and/or seem at all concerned about the state of the club. They arent going to win anyone's approval by blowing smoke.
