6/15 Yankems @ SOX. It's a dirty job, but I'll do it.

Cedanne not a good play no matter what.

Should stay in CF IMO.

[moonslav59]

It's really too bad that Refsnyder has no 1st base experience.

He actually does.

227 innings.

He must really suck at it.

[Old Red]

Just don't say it's fun or that you enjoyed one moment of this.

MOOn is getting giddy, so stay tuned for things turning shitty.

IMHO, when Casas returns, D. Smith will be DFA'd. They'll probably keep Dalbec.

Smith is lucky to still be with the team now, especially after his remarks about not wanting to get hurt when he short armed that throw against the Phillies. Had Cooper not been DFA’d earlier in the day, Smith may well have been the one to go.

Dalbec will be sent down when Gonzalez comes back. Smith definitely goes when Casas returns.

I guess so. One thing, the only thing, about Bobby, he does play a good defensive 1st base. That's why I feel that he will remain with the SOX after Casas returns.

It would make Cora's life so much easier.
Great win. Sox go for split tomorrow.

Ahem, go for a series win tomorrow.

[moonslav59]

How about the NL?

37-37 SDP are in the second WC slot.
34-35 STL is in the 3rd WC slot, right now.
3 teams are a half game back.
3 teams are 1 GB the last slot
1 team is 2 GB.

Only 2 NL teams are toast:
-10 COL
-11.5 MIA

That makes good sense. You know your shite, Illinois.

I guess the 3 game split joke is getting old fast.

He sucked on D, before this season, at 1B.

Smith has hit well, recently. I'm not so sure Bobby Dee uses his 19th life.

.920 in his last 43 PAs! (.801 in his last 71 PAs)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, because I started this game thread illegally, please, one of you guys start tomorrow night's game thread.

Numbers don't lie and it really is difficult to defend Bobby. I guess we will all find out when Casas finally returns.

It’s only the middle of June, and doesn’t mean much of anything.

There's two of us then. They just took 2 of 3 from the winningest team in the National League, and a win tomorrow means they will have done it to the winningest team in the American League. Not too shabby.

This might the most rollercoastery Sox team I can remember. Most errors in MLB. Way too often can't buy a hit with men on base. Split 4 freaking games with worst W-L record (White Sox) in MLB. Casas, who can hit, is missing almost almost half a season because he did the very dangerous and hazardous thing of swinging a bat. One of the cheapest rotations in MLB. And a flock of presumably talent guys on the IL: Giolito, Story, Whitlock, Casas, Yoshida (now off, but missed a bunch of games), Abreu. Oh, and Sale is having a great year, the Sox are paying his $17M salary, and he's pitching for the Braves.

By rights this Sox team should be 20-51, which would put them a tad ahead of the White Sox, 18-53.

But in fact they got a real shot at the postseason. Without Story, Giolito, Sale, Grissom, Whitlock, and maybe Casas.

It might help, if he knew what "giddy" means, and it looks like O'Neill has done just fine after I made a semi-flattering statement about him.

For someone who continuously says, "Pay not attention to the man behind the curtain," he stalks me day in and day out.

Kinda sad, but also quite funny.
