A-Train to 35th

His batting stance puts him at a disadvantage and the pitchers exploit it time and time again, that's why we see so many ground and pop outs. Eloy get's lucky every once in awhile and connects, unfortunately it's usually with no-one on base.

I never liked him when he was with the Cubs but you have to feel sorry for Len Casper and his dream of calling a World Series game. Not sure if doing Cubs radio was an option before he choose the Sox, but he misplayed that BIG TIME as the Cubs are on the right track back to the World series while the Sox are going nowhere fast.

Aaron Bummer has pitched 12 innings this year and he still sucks, yes the Sox got garbage back but at least they can be considered filler by eating up innings and playing in the field regardless if Nicky Lopez ever gets a RBI. The 5 players combined have logged a lot of innings compared to Bummers 12 and are nothing more than filler until the farm arrives or JR opens his purse for some better players. Until then I'll take 5 fillers over Bummer any day.

If you believe Bob then you're losing touch with reality. He's a mouthpiece for the Sox and just posted that to draw interest on JR's orders no doubt. C'mon Fathom, you really believe there were teams interested in Bummer and were willing to give the Sox something of value in return?

It wasn't a trade, more like both teams throwing out the trash.

I'm not going to argue, but you mentioned 3 players and those 3 players salary is less than Bummers. Do the math. Soroka is earning $3 million. Shuster is earning $740,000. Shewmake is earning $740,000. My point is, I would have traded Bummer for a bag of balls as many others on this site stated. Instead we got back 5 warm bodies which IMO is still better than watching Bummer Sh**t in his pants and blow another lead. Tell me exactly what other offers were out there for Bummer. Do you really think any team would give up a prospect for him?

At the beginning of their careers with the White Sox they were handed a playbook titled "The White Sox Way" and told to read and study it as they would be expected to follow the the rules and play ball the White Sox way.

Yes, and all three for less than the 5.5 million Bummer will make this year.

I'm just happy I don't have to see Aaron Bummer blow another lead, so the trade is a win for me.

Smart choice ; )

I didn't see it but a balk can be called with no runners on base. Rule 6.02(a)(5) Comment: A quick pitch is an illegal pitch. Umpires will judge a quick pitch as one delivered before the batter is reasonably set in the batter's box. With runners on base the penalty is a balk; with no runners on base, it is a ball.

I'll take south Side Stand Up! any day over Go Cubs Go, which makes no sense to sing after a win with the line Hey, Hey what do you say the Cubs are going to win today, When it's sung after they already won the game, so they can't win another unless it's a double header.

Yes, don't stop now boy's. 1st MLB hit for Ramos

An offensive explosion.....let's GO SOX!!! I still believe you have a long way to go to be a good team but my heart will always be with you.

My only question is why did it take you so long to stop listening to Chicago Sports radio. There all a bunch of whiners and loud mouth A-holes.

I thought he did a nice job breaking down the Astro's cheating scandal, but it seems like you have other issues with Jomboy. My advice, don't sweat the small stuff, it's really not that important and he's just making the most of social media.

Do you know you can adjust the font size on your copy and paste articles so there not so long. The drop down is labeled "size" and is located at the top, 3rd from the left. This advice coming from the person who posted an X article that included multiple pages of pictures that clogged up SoxTalk. ; )

Wasn't watching the game but I saw the highlights this morning, and YES they absolutely should have called it and IMO before it even got to the last batter, Brebbia was tucking the ball between his legs to keep it dry. Unsafe and I'm sure there was lightening strikes in the area also, and as others pointed out it was worse for the defense.

If you like live music there's 1st Avenue, Fineline, Caboose....here's a link. Hopefully just a link and not a bunch of pictures . https://www.exploreminnesota.com/article/minneapolis-top-10-city-live-music

Ouch, the high cost of F1. Can't root for Max, he's a given, so I'm for Norris and McClaren.

and a 12-pack to wash it down

Can't wait to see how he looks after pitching in the July heat and humidity of St. Louis.

I missed that really, I may have to reconsider giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Certainly not a carry-on.
