I agree. He just does not make me nervous at all.

I blame Eloy...Herrera would not have pitched without that homer ?

No reason not to. Get Mendick up here. C'mon Rick get your DFA pen out again.

Reading up on Detwiler, I just gotta root for a guy who went to the Independent League twice and finds himself starting a major league game again. It makes me wonder why Despaigne got the call up first. Was Detwiler just bad in Charlotte?

I see it now. I closed my right eye and blinked my left really fast and now see Rodon. Thanks.

What do the White Sox see in Jose Rondon that I do not?

His defense and how he works with the pitchers shouldn't slump though.

Darn, there goes my excuse why I won't get a Tribune subscription when to they telemarket me. I better let it go to voicemail. ?

The bottom third of our lineup is all hitting like .208. At least Engel plays excellent defense. I don't really have a problem bringing him up.

I don't have any problem with this but I can't think of one trade with KC that didn't end up horribly for the Sox. But I could be remembering wrong?

And you don't think it's a stupid trade idea to trade for Trout and flip him? I am trying to play along here.

You bet I make that trade...Can you imagine the prospects we would get for flipping Trout?!?!

I remember I was driving back to Chicago from Milwaukee listening to WBBM news and in sports they said "The White Sox have traded Esteban Loaiza to the Yankees" but that is all they said. I called back to the radio, "for who?" Then I fantasized that they picked up that pitcher my Dad and I had seen pitch for the Yankees at Sox park one game, Jose Contreras. And then boom. I was very happy.

Billy Pierce, a Sox legend in my opinion and a man who you only hear terrific things about. Minnie Minoso is the same way. I never had the pleasure to meet either of them but my wife met Minnie at her work one day and she said he was the nicest man. Plus she brought me, her then fiancé and now lucky husband Minnie's signed autograph and I was thrilled.

Terrific story...thanks Lip

I do love that the Sox have so many players that are easy to root for. It makes it more fun for me. Thanks for starting this thread. It has been a great read

I'm sorry to say that I totally forgot he was in the organization. Think I'd rather see Mendick get the call.

I must say this team is frustratingly entertaining. Even with all their fundamentally bad baseball and lack of starting pitching, they are much easier to watch than last year's product.

My father's favorite Sox player of all time. I would love to go to that game with the ghost of my Dad and bring him a Heineken and a "hot dog with the good onions" as he called it.

How about a go fund me to get him a plane ticket to San Diego. I hear he really likes it out there.

You didn't miss much

It was just a matter of time that the Palehose would win with Sale vs Lopez as the starters.

If they change the rules and let us DH for multiple positions, we can call Engel back up and DH for the P and CF spots.

He does tend to go on streaks so we might see good Jose for a week or 2.

Ok, who gets the bottom of the 9th to close this crazy one out?
