QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:54 PM) His name is Lou Rob. No it's not that is dumb Lighten up Francis, it was tongue in cheek.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 20, 2017 -> 01:01 PM) No worries. I've just seen like, 5 or 6 people post fake tweets here lately that are easy to identify. If there's no blue check mark next to the guy's name (like Badler, for example, doesn't have one for some reason), you just have to make sure his name is spelled right, he has lots of followers, >1 tweet, etc. Thanks for taking the time to get me up to speed. I'll definitely look out for this stuff in the future when I google names. I usually look closer to make sure stuff isn't fake but my giddiness got the best of me. Please just sign already!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:57 PM) Why do you guys do this? I mean, I understand honest mistakes but some are so obviously fake. This dude has one tweet. One. My bad. I'm not even on twitter so it was easy to get me on this fake.

Never mind. I fell for the fake.

QUOTE (SouthSide2004 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:50 PM) I think it's Ro-bear. A note to all future Sox writers. Updates in the future will be dubbed The Robert Report.

After the photo bomb of Robert wearing a Sox cap, he better sign or this site will go Chernobyl quick.

QUOTE (hi8is @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:36 PM) All Robert and no White Sox makes hi8is a sad poopy panda.

Because in the end, it will be Hahn's fault for the fans getting their hopes up for a player that was not guaranteed to sign with the Sox in the first place. Talk about being set up for failure.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ May 20, 2017 -> 09:55 AM) Any ideas on Plan B for the Sox if they can't land Robert? They appear to have all their eggs in his basket so I'm not exactly sure how they pivot if they are outbid. Sounds like Robert is plan A-Z. As far as we know the Sox aren't connected to any other players. They can go after Otani next off season but he would appear to be an even more difficult player to land than Robert.

No White Sox winner thread?

Nothing but great tunes on the Singles soundtrack. Man, does that take me back. Haven't heard Mother Love Bone or Mudhoney in a while.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ May 18, 2017 -> 11:23 PM) I was in college during the early days of grunge, so this hits pretty hard. I remember just being stunned when I heard that Kurt Cobain died. I wasn't a huge Soundgarden fan, but Cornell definitely had one of the great rock voices of all time. "Say Hello 2 Heaven" is probably my favorite song that he sang. I just pulled it up on YouTube, and it stills holds up as a great vocal. Cool lyrics, too. Music is one of the things I find that can instantly transport me to another time. Sometimes I hear a song, and i know what it felt like to hear that song when I was in high school or college or on a road trip with friends. Condolences to all the fans that grew up with Chris Cornell as their background music. Music does the same for me. Two songs from the grunge era that absolutely blew my mind the first time I heard them AIC- Man in the Box and Soundgarden- Rusty Cage. Some people have put up video of Soundgarden's last show in Detroit but I haven't been able watch it yet. Not sure I'm up for it right now. I have a ton of fond memories hanging out, listening to grunge and getting ducked up. Good times.

Great to see 7 strong from Kopech. Sounds like he was pretty nasty tonight.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2017 -> 07:52 PM) Did they release Hawkins? Every Barons hitter at 698 ops or below except for Hunter Jones. Hawkins is listed on the 7 day DL last I read. Curious to see how much longer he lasts.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2017 -> 07:04 PM) Compared to Chicago, much hotter and very humid where I live, which is Wuhan, a city larger than a Chicago you've never heard of. In fact, we have two skyscrapers going up at 95 and 86 stories to rival Willits and Hancock. I've heard the far east can be pretty hot and humid and I'd imagine much worse than what we get here in Chicago. Definitely not the weather for me.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 19, 2017 -> 06:44 PM) Probably threw at guy who had homered QUOTE (flavum @ May 19, 2017 -> 06:47 PM) Dunning had a wild pitch over a guy's head. https://mobile.twitter.com/CarolinaMudcats/...714946713284609 Good call.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2017 -> 06:49 PM) Just woke up Sat a.m. here in China... Yeah, just having some fun with you. I like that you've been posting detailed updates in the games threads. So how's the weather in China this morning?

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ May 19, 2017 -> 06:42 PM) Any idea how this happened? Did he hit someone? Arguing balls and strikes? I'd guess balls and strikes.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 19, 2017 -> 06:37 PM) Dunning ejected Dude, Willie Harris was ejected too! Love it when the little guys get angry. Give em hell Willie!

QUOTE (flavum @ May 19, 2017 -> 06:35 PM) Yes, especially Collins. I'd like to see more boxscores where he goes 2-3, with a walk. Still optimistic, considering he's thriving behind the plate, but he should be barreling up A ball pitching. QUOTE (fathom @ May 19, 2017 -> 06:37 PM) Dunning ejected Great, you two are in the thread together. Thanks, as if drinking beer while box-score jockeying isn't difficult enough.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 19, 2017 -> 06:29 PM) Don't know about you guys, but it's a letdown when I see WS had hits in the first inning and it's not Basabe or Collins When I checked the score and seen WS scored I had hoped it was Collins driving in Basabe so I kinda felt the same as you. Don't like Collins getting hit, but it happens.

Caulfield, where are you with the in depth reports? I'm dyin over here.

Collins HBP and scored on a Silverio 3B

Charlotte delayed due to wet grounds. Outfielders beware.
