I find it way more weird that people (Sox Fans) allow the Cubs to take space in their minds on a day to day basis. They don't play in the same division or league, there's no relevance to this rivalry unless you play them head to head.

You and others still believe this myth, come on now. The Cubs have sucked for my entire lifetime and they remain the more popular team each year, and it's not even close. Cubs losing (which btw they haven't now for a good sustained run here) and "Cubs being Idiots" has had little effect to no impact in helping White Sox business. And that's a fact. Let's stop bringing on this Cubs bullshit on these White Sox threads, please.

Grandal just doesn't even try sometimes. Pathetic.

I bet the Indians are saying the same thing, "we should have swept the Sox."

Any game we can push to the back of the schedule with OF reinforcements coming is a good thing for me. Especially for a possible division showdown.

Yermin's response: "Hey, shut up. You're not clutch yourself. Go read Soxtalk and then come back at me."

Baseball Reference has Moncada tied for 4th for position players with a 2.8 WAR. Tied with Buxton who hasn't played in like over a month. Holly Crap was Buxton having an MVP year to start the year.

The shit people write after single losses. It's a Marathon folks.

Yeah, but first base wasn't open and Ramirez basically went out of the zone to to get that. I have no problem with that. Yesterday however, was inexcusable .

This is the part that's important. Short outings for a contender are unacceptable. Can't have guys burning out the pen like this.

They're not hitting him hard. He's just nibbling all over the place and not going after them with his power stuff to strike people out. This is the old Cease from the past.

Nibble Nibble Cease is back.

OK Nostradamus. I didn't realize we had Mantle and Ruth waiting on that bench.

Who's the best player he didn't put in position to succeed today? Vaughn wasn't available. Mendick and Garcia are a wash. So who? use TA at that moment? Was he available, do we know if perhaps he isn't dealing with something? The micro - dissecting of every loss just to try prove that LaRussa is an idiot at the job is quite tiresome and annoying. HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

This. 100% This.

100% agree here, pitching to Ramirez with first base open in any circumstance is a bonehead decision.

So I take it we're blaming the use of Leury over Mendick (of all people) on hanging this loss on LaRussa? OK. LOL. How about spoiling a lead off double in the 6th, with Abreu, Mercedes, and Eaton all pissing the bed?

The Yermin slump is very concerning, because quite frankly we don't have anyone else to provide any sort of protection for Abreu.

Or maybe door #3, the dumb ass cliche of "having their back" ?

I'll take LaRussa's track record over Ricky's gang banging skills.

And "show some Fire and Passion. "

Blown umpire strike call and somehow it's become about Tony here. Some of you guys just live for this. LOL Don't change.

The bullpen as a whole has been disappointing. But Bummer leads that race for sure.

Bummer is ass
