Jays in big trouble

Heard that Kela might have quick-pitched him.

This game is never going to end.

It would be great if the Astros could sweep their asses. They might have three playoff wins before the Cards, Mets, and Dodgers even played a game.

All tied up again.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 01:19 PM) You think them winning will shut them up? LOL! More like "never shut up again for the rest of their lives".

This game is just a defensive clinic, isn't it.

Rougned Odor having a hell of a series so far.

Q for Bradley Jr/Swihart/+1 other prospect actually seems about what I'd expect to get for Quintana.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) Lord, I wish that Donaldson was on the Sox so badly. I wonder what it would have taken to get him this past offseason. Jays absolutely destroyed LHP this year, Hamels may be in a for a rough day. That's why I think our biggest accomplishment this year was limiting the Jays to just 10 runs in a 4-game series where we threw out 3 lefties against them.

If LaRoche sucks again next year I think the Sox won't be afraid to bench him, it doesn't really hurt to eat the money in the last year of a contract. Same with Danks.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 11:57 AM) WTF? Rangers that good or are the Blue Jays just falling apart? Blue Jays defense had a bad inning. This series so far is another reminder that anything can happen in a short series. Obviously far from over. Stroman just got out of a big jam to limit the damage to 2 runs.

Blue Jays imploding.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 10:38 AM) Right now, Utah and Florida have the most impressive wins. I'm not saying I think they'll stay up there or even that they're one of the four best teams, but based on body of work they deserve it as of right now. No team has really looked all that dominant so far or has really made it obvious that they're definitely one of the best five teams in the country (maybe Utah, but they also struggled a bit against Utah State).

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 10:03 AM) It absolutely would come up. Anything Yankees always comes up in the sporting world news. Not sure if I agree, I don't think everyone expects Mets fans to support the Yankees when they're on a playoff run.

I'm all ready to be pissed when Samardzija has an ERA around 3 with his new team next season.

Would anyone give a s*** if a Mets-affiliated bar ran promotions against the Yankees? Or is just because the Cubs are so damn "loveable"?

QUOTE (rowand's rowdies @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 09:40 AM) If we're all as smart of fans as we think we are, we should be cheering for the Cubs to win it all. Yes, I said it. We should still hate them at the same time. Confused? Don't be. This White Sox Organization has been sitting back and lazily throwing the same crap at the wall since we won in 2005. We were hungry after the town got Cubs fever in the 90s and early 2000s. That hunger brought us a World Series. The lack of hunger has brought up Gordon Beckham. Twice. Adam Dunn. Twice. Sorry, correction - Adam Dunn and Adam LaRoache aka Adam Dunn 2.0. We are currently wasting the primes of 3 amazing baseball players at the top 5 at their respective positions in the world. Chris Sale, Jose Abreu, and David Robertson are amazing talents and would be quite possibly top 3 at their positions in the right city/situation if they aren't already. What has this White Sox Organization given you as a fan the last 5 years that makes you happy? Not much. Although I am excited about Carlos Rodon! As White Sox fans we pride ourselves in showing up when the team deserves our hard earned money. Making them earn it is our reputation. They simply haven't of late. It's a pleasure to watch some of the starting pitchers throw, we can't take that away from them, but outside of that and Jose... The future doesn't have to be dark. We have some top talent. We have some other pieces. We need to make some radical changes, yes. We need the hunger back. The Chicago Cubs winning the World Series might do it. The Chicago Sports media would be more Cubs heavy than ever before, which is fine. I don't want to hear any more from the White Sox until changes are made. REAL changes. Fairweather White Sox fans (and yes, we have them too) would head to the blue side. Fans of baseball that enjoy winning in the city might head north a lot more. Young fans will be choosing blue over white and black. The White Sox are losing more than just baseball games, they are losing a revenue battle in a highly competitive industry of business. A Chicago Cubs title will be a miserable thing to tolerate as a White Sox fan. It won't be fun. It won't make your life better...right now. However, if it brings upon radical and necessary changes to the Chicago White Sox organization, bring it on. I can take it. I've taken 10 seasons of crap since our White Sox won the series. I can deal with Cubs fans gloating about a World Series, because I know what it feels like. Just smile and nod and tell them "Welcome to the club." I highly doubt a Cubs World Series would bring the necessary changes. If anything, making our front office panic would be a bad thing, because they'd be more likely to make desperate moves and take unnecessary risks that will just set us back further. We didn't win a World Series in '05 because the Cubs were close in '03, that's a stretch.

And one of the comments there calls them "traitors to Chicago" and not true Chicagoans. Get f***ed.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) Pete Rose made a bunch of dumbs*** comments during the KC-HOU broadcast about Donaldson getting a bump on the head and having to leave the game, "he's the MVP??", he passed the concussion test so (in d-bag tone) "he'll be fine", how Rose had about 15 concussions when he played and he kept going out there, blah blah blah. Yeah asshole, you also messed up a guy's career by colliding with him in an exhibition game. You're the King of Toughness, we get it. Why do networks keep letting these idiots on TV? If you keep going out and playing after so many concussions, I'm going to think you're an idiot, not a tough guy.

The bar is just having some fun, I don't see what the big deal is.

Why does everyone keep saying the Cubs need pitching? They led the MLB in pitching WAR this year, and that's before they sign a top SP this offseason.

Rangers take Game 1, already read some comments elsewhere that this performance might drop Price's price tag in the offseason. People love to overreact.

If you would do something "in a heartbeat" then it's likely the other team wouldn't.

Price gives up another home-run. In 6 ALDS starts he now has an ERA over 5.
