One way or the other. SHARK can fill everyone in on the matchups. Sox get swept. Cubs fans crow. |

And with the farm system still rated extremely poor, I can't honestly say the future is bright. And given the ML roster has alot of age, the organization as a whole is facing a challenging future. Then factor in the lack of fan support (poor marketing dept?) makes the revenue equation that much more problematic at all levels. No, my characterization of the Sox as "the shittiest in all of baseball" hasn't proven accurate this season, but clearly overall they are middle of the pack AT BEST and in reality, probably a lower third tier franchise with MAJOR CHALLENGES AHEAD... |

It sounds like Gavin will return this week either on Wednesday or Thursday. Unless the Sox lose the first 3 games that will probably push Sale back to Friday in Minnesota. |

Guys, Gavin Floyd is eligible to come off the DL as soon as tomorrow, according to The SCORE's Chris "Ranger" Rongey. There's a chance that Floyd pitches the finale of that Tigers' series instead of Sale vs. Justin Verlander Thursday night, but I'm not sure what the team's plan is for Floyd moving forward. |

I don't see the logic in that given Sale's home/away numbers and the importance of the games against the Tigers. However, as maddeningly inconsistent as Gavin Floyd has been overall, he's historically done very well vs. Detroit. Something else to consider. The White Sox have just 1 more scheduled off day the rest of this regular season, and that's one week from today. While they haven't necessarily made their plans following this series, the Sox would like to give guys like Chris Sale & tonight's starter, Jose Quintana, extra rest between now & the rest of the 162-game season. It's also unclear if Sale might be looking at a Stephen Strasburg-like innings limit like what the Nationals have done in shutting Stephen down. |

It will give Sale an extra day of rest and I'll be able to watch him pitch this weekend in Minnesota.

When Quintana first came up he worked fast. Now he works slower than shit. They really have to work with him to get him back to that get it and throw it mode. |
