Sox are gonna get back on track today!

Go get 'em tomorrow.

Lets go Avila.

Pathetic umpiring.

Ridiculous the play is right in front of him and he doesn't see it.

Jose continuously puts himself in bad spots by swinging at junk... he needs to figure that out as soon as possible. It's almost unbelievable that he hasn't adjusted to that yet. It's been like a solid month of swinging at breaking balls out of the zone.

Please Jose just end it here... really don't want to give these guys another chance to bat.

Warning track... you gotta be kidding me. Can't catch a break on those deep fly balls.

Tie game!!! Good job Tyler... Dont stop now boys!

Goodbye bandwagoners obviously you've never followed a team through an entire 162 game baseball season.

Whatever happened to asking the base umpire??? It wasn't THAT obvious that he swung.

If the guy with a 7 ERA is trending to his norm, then so should this WIll Harris guy.

NIce splitter. When Zachs got it going, he's tough to hit. Gotta hold these guys and win this game on a walk off solo homer or something.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 16, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) Since the Sox intend on pitching Sale against the Astros (why I don't know they could bump him back a day and pitch Q) the match up's don't look great against Kansas City which had a rain out tonight and will probably change their rotational plans. Mark Maybe they figure Q or Sale, both give you a great chance to win. I agree it would be nice to have Sale against KC and Cleveland, but at the expense of Q vs. KC, the upside isn't as great as if it were Latos or Gonzalez being switched instead of Q.

Time to get some home cooking going and get this thing back on track. The Houston series is definitely important, but when KC comes to town I hope our guys are ready to take it to the defending champs and show them that we mean business with this division. Aside from the Twins, we haven't had enough of a test vs. teams in our division. While the current leads we own are nice, whether or not we win this division will still come down to how we play vs. KC, Cleveland and Detroit. It's very important to keep KC down and take at least 2 games. We don't need to be giving that team any momentum at all.

I know it's straying off topic from Jason vs. Hawk, but I want to chime in on some of the Cubs vs Sox talk and pose a question I have been pondering recently. In the event that Michael Jordan was actually awesome at baseball and played his career out on the White Sox, do you think he would have heavily influenced fan interest towards the Sox? Do you think he would have made no impact, brought it close to 50/50, or turn it into a Sox town?

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 12, 2016 -> 09:02 AM) This is true - he isn't an option in high level games and he has a lot of counters (Genji, Reaper, Pharah, Roadhog, even Symmetra can at least move him). But in pubs he was too disruptive, and the problem is the skill ceiling is so low with him. If I stroll around a corner and get taken out by Widowmaker, fine, she had to aim and probably headshot me to get that kill. If there's a Bastion sitting there holding left mouse, it's another story. Torbjorn is a much more interesting hero for that role because you have to think carefully about where you want to place his turret, and then level it up Didn't ruin the game for me though, not even close. I had a good time in the few games I played with Torbjorn. Most of my games were against AI simply because I didn't know any of the characters. So we dominated of course, but he has a fun play style for defense.

Finally someone is paying attention to expiration dates. So many stores just don't care how old a beer is.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ May 11, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) I believe the matchmaking system places you in games with people of a similar "level" as you. So if you only play occasionally, you're not going to be in games against people who play 10 hours a day. You're right, I'm just paranoid because I used to play League of Legends a little bit and when I got into level 20+ I started drawing Bronze and Silver opponents sometimes, and I'd just get gg rekt m8. There is a steep learning curve to that game so it made me just want to create smurf accounts to play against people who suck as much as I do.

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 10, 2016 -> 11:25 AM) They did have a mode that picked a random hero for you after each death, which is just total chaos. I had a blast with the beta. Not all the characters were for me but they all feel unique and you can easily see the way each one can dominate a match in the right conditions, how they counter each other, etc. It's a very impressive game. There were some moments that sent me into storm of curse words, like you allude to a little. Most of them involved dying to Bastion, who is basically a character designed to sit in a corner and hit a key/button to spit high-damage laser-accuracy death at everyone. f*** that. You could tell that Bastion is overpowered. Almost every game a Bastion dominated. I'm guessing he'll get nerfed before release.

So many full counts.

2 out damage. Let's go.

Gave me a couple good laughs so I figured I'd share it with everyone. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:15498791

Latos gets out of the jam... more good news!

sigh of relief if thats all fraziers injury is...
