South Side Hit Men

I Hate Pronk more.

They need to DFA him August 2nd if nobody claims him or offers a minimal deal for him. Zavala looking bad this week, likely wearing down with the increase in work.

They need to fire their AD ASAP, and anyone involved in his hiring through the President and Board of Regents. Northwestern may be the one organization more incompetent than the White Sox. https://awfulannouncing.com/ncaa/northwestern-ad-derrick-gragg-book-women-distraction-sex-kittens.html

I rather play Remillard regularly than Sheets. He needs a new team to play for. And Yoan comes through! Keep the line moving Yasmani!

Seven game hit streak for Eloy! Come on Moncada, rake a double here.

Anderson, Benintendi, Burger, Jimenez, Moncada and Vaughn can all have good seasons next year. Ditto Bummer, Cease, Graveman, Hendriks, Middleton and Santos. Problem is they have little depth, need crazy lottery type years out of several of their other players to make a difference: Banks, Colas, Crochet, Gonzalez, Lambert, Perez, Remillard, Scholtens and Sosa. There aren't many good FA options for the positions in need, even if Jerry was willing to open the pocketbook, and they will likely significantly lower payroll the next two seasons as contracts drop off.

DJ says Colas continuously overthrows his first cutoff man, team needs to work on it.

F -

There will be a big tussle between Robert, Cease and others to become the next rep and get the f*** out of town ASAP.

Nice getting out of it. That said, Sox need to starting hitting, zero for over six innings (Yoan's hit in the 4th yesterday their last one).

What I find expendable? Cheering the fifth decade Jerry's laundry, and the second decade of GM Hahn. Goodfellas' treatment for fans of Lucas: https://www.audacy.com/podcast/parkins-spiegel-show-6fb30/episodes/chris-tannehills-goodfellas-treatment-for-white-sox-pitcher-lucas-giolito-d314b

Kenny had even more restrictions in terms of payroll vs. league average and built a World Series Champion.

First game during Hahn Tanking 2.0 Era. White Sox are a slight underdog (Pick vs. -110 Bibee via Wynn), think the +180 - 1 1/2 run line the better value if backing the Sox. Over 90F an hour before gametime so the ball could continue jumping despite the anemic offenses of both teams. Sammy Peralta is back to replace Giolito and Lopez. They are not bothering to fill the other spot today. Par for the course in the Hahn era.

No Manager has won more games than Connie Mack 3,731 - 3,948. Jerry can stick his second/third place carrots up his ass.

Jerry is approaching a half century with three losing decades. He is complete and utter horseshit. The owners you are bitching about had short terms, primarily limited to what you inherit in such a short window. Reinsdorf's crony hire Hahn has had a longer stretch than all but three White Sox owners over 124 years. Charles Comiskey by far the most successful, Charlie's daughter-in-law Grace Comiskey who owned during their transition to successful 1950s teams. Jerry Reinsdorf who Tried to move the team Destroyed the 50/50 Chicago fandom split with his SportsVision scheme and firing "scum of the Earth" Harry Caray Cancelled the Sox best chance at a World Series in nearly a half century by cancelling 1994 and trying to field scabs in 1995 Led the worst stretch of White Sox baseball in the 2010 during the modern era.

The White Sox remind me of an amalgamation of The Producers and The Aristocrats. Fire Rick Hahn.

It would have been through 30 years ago, when you had to win a 6-7 team division or 8-10 team league to be a playoff team. Now you can be an under .500 Central Division winner and be in the 12 team postseason farce.

The 2000s were the White Sox their second best decade in the desegregated era, with the two Whites Only 1900s (.563) and 1910s (.535) decades also better. 2000 (+28), 2003 (+10), 2006 (+18) and 2008 (+15) were also solid plus seasons. Desegregated White Sox Winning Decades 1950s: .5496 847-693-13 (One American League Pennant) 2000s: .5287 857-764 .529 (One World Series) 1960s: .5285 852-760-2 1990s: .5261 816-735-3

The Six Losing White Sox Decades: (likely seven with a third total and second straight for Jerry through 2029) .447 1930s (678-841-11) Charlie Comiskey dies, Great Depression .459 2010s (743-876) Rick Hahn Alive, Sox Playoff Chances Dead .463 1940s (707-820-9) MLB Desegregates, Bridgeport Furious, White Sox remain Whites Only until the 1950s .469 1970s (752-853-3) Team almost moves twice, two different owners with Veeck saving the team .476 1920s (731-804-7) Judge KKK Landis dismantles White Sox Championship Core .486 1980s (758-802-3) Jerry Reinsdorf the lone White Sox owner with two losing decades. The result of Jerry's greed, averse, arrogance and ST stupidity. 2020s through 7/26/23: 246-233 .514
