Yeah from the fans there's always talk. I'm fine with Davey but there was no need to let Dusty go.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!
If the Cubs can squeeze out this Hader is done for at least tomorrow.
Please be the good Carl Edwards.
At least it wasn't the walk Carl. Well not completely. Sigh :(
Edit. I am ejecting myself.

Playing Oakland is not going to be fun period, but you have to love the A's fans, they arr really into every pitch.
so assuming the yankees and indians go on to lose as their currents scores indicate they will.
over the last 31 games the only teams to have better records than the white sox (19-12) are
st louis, chicago cubs, oakland, tampa bay ra ys, and boston
which isn't bad for a team still almost 30 games under .500.
granted... I wanted them to lose a lot of those and get a better draft pick, but even if they finish out the year 19-5 they should still have a top 10 draft pick so I can't be that annoyed :P
it's at least giving me hope for next year. hope it gives them hope to spend some on free agents as well.

Honestly that doesn't seem too bad. Hosmer was instantly the worst deal in baseball the second the ink dried, I don't think anyone is surprised he sucks... Because he's not good.
The Yankees have now played 11 games against above .500 teams since the AS break. They are 2-9 in those games, including 0-5 against likely playoff teams. For all the somewhat overblown talk about them playing down to their competition against bad teams, it's the fact that they are routinely getting their shit kicked in by good teams that really spells doom.
I haven't been following the white Sox in terms of roster moves, but after the break last year, Oakland went all in on the younger players / rookies and we've seen that momentum carry over to this year.
The white Sox were pretty bad the first half of the year, hopefully you guys are indeed moving past that
The whitesox traded for a bunch of players a few years back and they have been slowly trickling to the majors or figuring things out. Really the amount of pitching talent they have in general is crazy.
getting rodan back in general has helped http://m.mlb.com/player/607074/carlos-rodon
kopech has been decent so far http://m.mlb.com/player/656629/michael-kopech
lopez has been doing better recently http://m.mlb.com/player/625643/reynaldo-lopez
and giolito goes between brillant and horrible http://m.mlb.com/player/608337/lucas-giolito lol
in general the bats have been doing better with the younger players hitting .270-.290 for the last 7 games instead of their current season averages of .230-.250 they should just improve with more time.
Adam Engel will be an interesting one to watch in general as his defense is solid and he is a serious base stealing threat if he gets on base, so if he can improve that he will be good.
but they also have a number of well regarded prospects such as Eloy Jimenez who should offer a lot with his bat in the future. And a low payroll with room to add free agents (and last I checked this should be a solid free agent season) so if they go out and spend some money (which given the age of the owner and his want to win there is a decent chance they will) they could potentially compete next year.
but we will have to see, they have been targeting 2020 so it's possible they won't spend and won't compete next year still.
Didn't see it on TV, but the Astros twitter account had the gif of it.
Funny how there's more Mests fans at Dodger Stadium than they're normally are at Citi Field .
