yeah, I've missed people calling him a bust.  I've seen discussion on what expectations he'd have to get to in order to not be considered a bust (expectations keep lowering), but I haven't seen anyone say he's a bust.  So, I guess I'll keep a lookout better for that.

It's not a lot, but I have seen it. I chalk one or two of those into just throwing that out there but really meaning they are disappointed. But, I have seen a few posters say specifically that Buxton is a bust.

 

For me personally, it's too soon to label him that. And I haven't lowered my expectations, per se, but perhaps my hopefulness has been tempered a bit.

Buxton might hit for the cycle tonight

I'm just really happy to see him doing really well now that he's back.

oooooooooooohhhhhh

When did TD start allowing White Sox fans to start game day threads? :-)

I love how excited our announcers get over relatively routine plays.

I thought the second one was a nice play slightly harder than routine.

Yup. But in the spirit of tempering my hopefulness, I'll see where he's at at the end if the month.

We tried a separate but equal type game thread thing last night. Didn't pan out.

half a step to his right and glove down.  fairly routine for a decent 3B.  don't get me wrong, happy he made the play. but I think we've gotten to the point where we're just happy when our guys make any plays :-)

I've reported this to the mods several times. Nothing.

We used to have a Sox fan on these boards. He was a carry over from BYTO. He posted with us because he couldn't stand the the Sox site. His name was Hawkiconk. Solid baseball fan, good poster when he posted.

Jorge, Jorge, Jorge!!!!!!!

The issue is that she's not really a White Sox fan ... just being a 33, er 44, groupie.

the 2016 twins: you can't stop them; you can only hope to contain them.

And I also approve of that which just happened there on that pitch, as well.

My trainer is a White Sox fan but already quit watching them for the season, has moved onto college football. So when I wanted to gloat about Thursday's game, he hadn't even watched, didn't even know the score or who they played. Took the wind right out of my sails.

Jobu makes bats not afraid tonight.

It felt like all work and no play

Here we go with talking about unwritten rules. got to teach Kepler the dumb things.

 

hate to say it, but with our pitching staff, this game isn't out of reach.

Does anyone think a 9 run lead is safe?

Give Hector the same advice as Sam Bradford; just don't lose the game.

Geez

Nice catch! THAT is a great play!

That movie gets creepier every time I see it.

And that is why I don't think I could ever call Buxton a bust. He might not meet expectations, jury's not in on that yet, but that right there you can't call a bust.

Okay, shocking news ...

He doesn't need to hit a lot to have value.

Exactly.
