For me, he's become Frank Thomas. When Chris is on the bump, it's NBC - Must See TV.

Hey he was great yesterday. He gutted it out through those first couple of innings when he should have given up alot more than 2. It was fun to watch. I think he needs more of an attitude on the mound. He looks too nice. Needs some Jack McDowell in him.
On a side note what the hell is wrong with Keppinger. 2 SO's yesterday to raise his total for the year to 11 in only 88 ab's. He is well on his way to a career high for a guy that was touted to never strike out.

OT: It still early, but he shows no plate discipline and is proving to be what he's always been which is a bit player, not a starting one.

All I am saying and agreeing with is that
1) Chris Sale on the mound is drop everything and watch like Frank Thomas was
2) I agree that if Chris gets Black Jack attitude he could be more devastating.

Again, must See Chris Sale throws one hitter facing 28 men in 3-0 shutout. SWEET!

So far , He's been lights out. It be nice to have a couple more just like him. Pitching a game, compared to a Frank Thomas at bat aren't the same thing. People always stopped and took notice when Frank was up to bat. Go Chris.

I think Chris Sale is the new face of this franchise once Konerko leaves/retires. He's great.
