Who is buying/renewing tix for 2023?
Rounding_Third replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
it sounds like someone's not getting their quota bonuses this spring. Actually, I do feel bad for that group, not their fault they work for such a terrible owner and mgmt What's amazing is how far the FO & ownership go in showing how little they care about fans. They just see us as "fresh fish, reelin 'em in". -
Since this team is a dumpster fire....GO BEARS!

Lightning in a Bottle; Sox have amazing year?
Rounding_Third replied to greg775's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The other day (yesterday maybe), Bernstein & Holmes mentioned a video they saw of Robert recently doing some kind of slow boxing/sparring with gloves vs another person wearing hand pads. The bottom line was that, to B & H, Luis looked to have gained weight & not the good kind. I haven't seen it but if true, it wouldn't surprise me. There's so many loafers on this team that just don't give a crap and the org doesn't see a need to hold anyone accountable for not being the best player they possible can. They're too busy living the good life to care about playing serious baseball for the White Sox. Its hard to envision that this team will ever be dedicated to playing winning baseball and won't even surpass last season's mediocrity. Guardians will win div by at least 15 games.....over Twins. That team & org is scary good! -
Lance Lynn to pitch for Team USA in WBC
Rounding_Third replied to maxjusttyped's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Oh goodie, they all start the season on the DL. -
The White Sox plan to convert Crochet to a starter from draft day on was always ludicrous! He had very little history, if any, at TN that proved he can become a long term consistent starter. Drafting him where they did for that plan shows what an idiotic FO/scouting they are and why high White Sox draft picks rarely come to fruition. He could be a great closer someday and possibly a really good setup man sooner. He can be very effective in any bullpen role but a starter is hard to see given his track record.

The White Sox cannot be fixed by next season
Rounding_Third replied to VAfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Say what you will about their ownership but you're completely wrong and the facts prove it: 1. Guardians have already proven to be better 2. Youngest team in baseball 3. 3rd best farm system in baseball (as of Aug 23, 2022 per MLB) 4. Their team payroll currently sits $127m lower than Sox; $69 vs $196 All the while finishing ahead of Sox in AL standings from 2013-2018 (& 2019 tie); winning 94 games in 2016, 102 in 2017, & 91 in 2018 yet still accomplished #'s 1-4. Sox have managed 26th best farm while sucking those same years Cleveland's awful ownership? Really? I sure wish ours was on that level of awful!!! This Sox rebuild is a bust! Not sure if Cleveland is a "juggernaut"; their future looks pretty damn good! I do know this pathetic dysfunctional White Sox org is not going to challenge them for quite some time. -

Rounding_Third replied to VAfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Its extremely unlikely that the White Sox can/will beat out the Guardians for the division for at least the next 5 years. The gap between the two orgs is growing larger every day. -
Good bye Sox & Go Bears!

Losing makes us better

After the Astros pound the Sox into reality, TLR will say how much better it makes them for 2023.

A few weeks ago I read an article from his only Boson call up in Sept, 2016. The coaching staff was frustrated with his numerous baserunning mistakes. His season ended pretty quickly (8 games) for all the things he did so badly. He couldn't even survive Sept call up as a very hot prospect. I think that after over paying him that huge signing bonus, they were more than happy to let him go for Sale. At least he corrected his baserunning mistakes with our Sox by just not getting on base....problem solved!

This is the Dumbest Team in Baseball
Rounding_Third replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
This is 2nd most dysfunctional org & team in all of sports next to Blackhawks! Congrats JR! -
I'll take Tepera's 3.89 era over 37 innings vs Kelly's 6.20 over just 20 innings any day; no brainer. Kelly may throw harder but Tepera pitches better. Same price this year but Kelly get $2m more next year. For what? Great thinking Tony! Kelly's torn biceps a better option than Tepera's disrespectful rant of friend, Dusty.
-
So thankful for the TLR wisdom to drop Tepera for a more expensive & injured Kelly who couldn't even start the season. TLR didn't want Tepera after his Astro's cheat comments and thought a torn biceps was a better choice. Gosh he's so smart! We can all learn so much baseball from him!

Eloy is still hurt, TLR still putting him in LF
Rounding_Third replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
He will remind us of that, as well....again and again until he forgets what he's talking about and intentionally walks us and goes back to sleep. -

7/16 Sox @ Twinkies 2:00PM Let’s get over .500!!
Rounding_Third replied to HeGetzUs's topic in 2022 Season in Review
The man is literally obese. When so many depend on him to do all he can to perform at his highest level but instead, he chooses an agenda of self-indulgences deserves the "Selfish Asshole" label. This after being lavishly rewarded. Unacceptable! -

Rounding_Third replied to HeGetzUs's topic in 2022 Season in Review
Clearly Lynn doesn't give a shit about the Sox; just his "fat" & probably last contract. Once on the books, he got as fat as he wanted. "Who cares, I'm rich, what else matters?" He'll lose some weight in the off season and eventually get somewhat decent in the 2nd half of 2023 as the club option gets him motivated. Have another pizza, asshole! -
LaRussa anthem story making national headlines
Rounding_Third replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Actually it was. The 1st (unofficial) national flag was created and raised in 1776 to celebrate the newly formed Continental Army. -
Nope! Their only chance is winning the Central. No way they make it as a WC team. Must win at least 13 games against Twins. Not impossible but unlikely. Besides, they're too busy counting their $'s and kissing their mirrors to give a crap.

Thank goodness Burger was DH tonight instead of baseball's most worthless pos Grandal. -
Serves up the long ball a bit. Good park for him to debut. Good luck kid! Have a night!

Because they were afraid to wake Tony up, he's always so grumpy.
