flavum Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Great start for Gonzalez. When you look around the league, everyone wants starting pitching except maybe the Indians. If the Sox can get some consistency, they could have one of the better rotations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 09:43 PM) 541 posts in the game against Boston. WGN games would be the same. You are wrong. James Sheilds on a weekday WGN game got over 400. I looked a little bit... mostly saw CSN games with longer threads. There were a couple outliers. I'll look again later.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Nice easy 1-2-3 9th now boys. 5th consecutive series win. Ain't all pretty but it's good to be winning again (yes I know I bang the rebuild drum). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I can't believe this is even an argument. To say there's no difference in activity between winning and losing threads is all kinds of naive. It's plainly obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 What team has more fans in winning/blowout games than close/controversial losses? The Cubs? Cardinals? Red Sox? Plus, Shields' run of 4-5 starts there was historical, unprecedented levels of bad. It was a train wreck or a NASCAR 13 car pile-up at Darlington.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Do you guys really believe that there is a correlation between a TV network and the number of posts in a game thread on a White Sox forum? LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Does any other fanbase in the country have this exact conversation going on right now? I'd hope Mariners fans are more excited about beating the Astros than their 39 years of ineptitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'm guilty of it, as there's usually more posters active on here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look around the league, everyone wants starting pitching except maybe the Indians. If the Sox can get some consistency, they could have one of the better rotations. Rodon is the key. If he pitches like we know he can, the Sox will have a very solid rotation. If he continues to stink up the joint, then, well, it isn't so good.

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 The least 10 posted in game threads.... the Sox are 6-4 Okay now I'm really done with research. Doesn't appear to be much a correlation this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You first checked out after ripping Avi's OPS for the 2000th time, then he gave them the lead., and haven't had any game comment since.

James Sheilds on a weekday WGN game got over 400. Yeah I started to try and go through all those.. not worth the time that is going to take... I will admit this... some WPR threads are gigantic some are very tiny. Another thing I'll admit.. anytime shields started during his horrible stretch the threads were gigantic.
