Maybe the dreaded 5-0 lead curse can work for us for a change.

Looks like the Tigers did a bit of home work on Mr. Cannon.

Sounds like he'll be up after a Pham trade.

I had friends who lived in Royal Oak back when Jack Kevorkian had an office there, and was picketed routinely. Cool record store across the street. I have a soft spot for Detroit, LaFayette Coney Island and all.

Nice write-up on John Brebbia, detailing some of the changes he's made to be marketable, again. https://soxmachine.com/2024/06/john-brebbia-has-found-a-fix-just-in-time-for-the-trade-deadline/

You seem really obsessed with everybody spooging in their sleep. Why is that? Thirsty?

I think that Flexen would be a down-throttle for somebody who wants a deal on Fedde. "Oh, well maybe you would like to try out our economy model....."

I am digging.

I don't like... a jagged tooth harlot I don't like...DFA to Charlotte I don't like...pre-British Invasion Skiffle I don't like ... being benched by Grifol!!!

The funniest thing would be if Robert/Crochet aren't traded, then Yoan/Eloy come back and produce with no trade interest. They'll get their reps, and the logjam of starters at AAA and AA fill up the major league rotation and bullpen. That team could actually be good.

It's actually funny how the couple of admins and their acolytes pound the same square peg into the same round hole of their forced narrative with every single roster move. LOL. Pham will be traded in 5 weeks. I'm guessing, from what Southsider has hinted at, that Robert is either traded by 7/30, and if not, he goes right back on the IL for a month, to tune him up for a September cameo, then they shop him in the off-season. Benintendi? Who knows? Trying to get him right again? Sheets will probably be gone by the TDL. That's 2 slots for Colas and Pham/DeLoach to get regular at-bats for 2 months. Guys, it's truly funny how you act like Pedro Grifol pulled out a knife and slit somebody's throat in the season finale. "It's a horrible team, so whatever dumb ideas that enter my mind, the White Sox should slavishly carry out!!!" The draft is in 3 weeks. The TDL in 5. They'll move the people who are sought after, then start promotions. Calm down, already.

Not to be argumentative, but I wouldn't think that 3 minor league arms that never pitched in the bigs before would have been counted on to be "solid, high leverage arms". Berroa was available because he has Deivi Garcia disease, and Iriarte was still considered a AA starter when obtained.

Nastrini was regularly above 4 BB/9 in the minors. It dipped down in 4 starts for Birmingham last year.

Flexen has 2 wins.
