Kuhl is not so cool. He was tossing up meatballs. They mercifully gave Vaughn a day off. Sox led early then Baltimore got mad against the AAA White Sox. Q: Could our triple A team have the same record as the Sox or would it be worse competing against MLB. I dunno. 32 wins ain't many. 11 in a row. After this season no losing streak will ever surprise us.

I'm not a Cub fan. In fact I'm slowly giving up on baseball. If I'm giving up on baseball I know others are because I've been a Sox fan all my life. I know I won't watch an inning of the postseason even if the Cubs or Royals make it. There have to be a lot of southsiders, especially kids, losing all interest in MLB because of the state of the Sox and the new, boring nature of the game. The all or nothing offensive philosophy (K or strikeout approach for all hitters; the boring cutter getting guys like Robert every time) and the parade of relievers with starters only able to go five makes the sport unwatchable basically. ... I'm surprised they don't accuse me of being a Royals fan on here since I've posted about the Royals a few times. Only baseball I've watched this summer is the game video recaps on mlb.com which are free.

You are something else. So wrong. But I'll try to keep posting about the Cubs so as to keep you thinking I love them. You know sometimes it's OK to admit one is wrong. Ask Fathom how mad I used to get on here (when Sox were not in the offensive Double Tank) when we lost to the Cubs and/or the Royals. In fact find the old posts. Some people said the Cub series was just another series but I'd get flat out livid in figuring out our record against them each season. ... Anyhow you might want to ponder for self growth how you could be so wrong about an issue, this issue, if u ever do self reflection. I ain't no Cub fan but now I do want them to make the playoffs and win it all because of my overriding anger at JR and his Sox. I'll try to not post on this again but I'm thinking you'll want to get in the last word so that might spark me to post on this again.

Hemond and Dombroski knew what they were doing. Definitely top echilon of GMs.

I thought u were being nicer along with Quin. Mabe not. My bad.

You were getting nicer to greg; now u seem to be a greg-hater again.

That had to be the highlight of McKinney's career. He was no JC Martin that's for sure.

Especially when it rained and the turf was wet. So ugly. ... at least the fans could count Melton's homers. And wonder how Luis Alvarado had a job in the bigs.

Trust me I'm not. True I'm losing interest in all teams but I cannot name one Cub starting pitcher. I've heard of Darby. I can pretty much name all the Sox except some of these woebegone relievers they bring up. ... However I now see no reason the Cub shouldn't make the playoffs. It has no effect on the Sox since our team is gonna stink for years to come. It used to be Cub success would pressure the Sox into getting off their butts and start winning. No longer. Nothing matters except Jerry's wallet. I know that's always been the case but we've had some good Sox teams throughout history til the Double Tank. So yes I welcome a Cub playoff berth. Why not? Anything to embarrass JR if it's possible.

At least fans of that team could discuss why in the world the owner had an astroturf infield and grass outfield. Not so aesthetically beautiful.

Yeah, I just wanted to dedicate today's lifeless effort to the day's of "Ozzie Sunday."

That's be a fun activity; 107th Street establishments, then 108th st, then 109th. Or what's located on those blocks anyway.

I'd love to see a stat from the advanced metrics lovers if they could get it for me. I've noticed the Sox really go down quickly in the 9th inning of games. I'd like average amount of seconds, or minutes, and amount of pitches it's taken to dispose of the Sox in the 9th. I guarantee you they are amazing stat figures. It doesn't take long to finish off the Sox in the 9th.

Holy bleep. We get shutout in tribute to Ozzie's old Sunday lineups. Ozzie's only flaw as skipper in my book. The Sunday lineup. Mets have to be going: 'My gosh we heard about how lifeless that ballclub is ... that sweep was so easy." I can't believe we've lost 10 in a row again. I forget how high the other losing streaks reached. Would be neat to go 18 in a row this time.

I can't help it. My anger toward Sox ownership and leadership is such that I no longer totally despise the Cubs even though I still can't name any players.

We all knew the record would be legendary when we saw the final roster. I coulda sworn I picked us to win in the 40s.

Wow the Mets had a pitcher go 7 innings. Holy bleep. That's unheard of in modern baseball. I see we have two hits and Vaughn is an oh-fer so far again. What is wrong with Vaughn? He had climbed to close to .250. Now he's cascading downward.

I was in the car tonight and got the postgame show on Sirius. The announcer (McKnight maybe?) was saying, get this, the plan is to have him pitch one inning in relief every 3-5 days. He'll start and finish the inning. He won't inherit any baserunners. The announcer stressed all season he's been a starter. So I don't get this. Why make him a reliever now?? As much as I hate openers if he HAS to pitch just one inning, make him the damn opener. He better not get hurt suddenly becoming a reliever. The announcer on postgame said he's had problems 'some games' walking people. Other games he's hardly walked any. He was in the Cease deal I think so he better be good! Anybody else disagree with how the Sox are handling his role? One inning max, a clean inning in relief at some point in the game.

I hope they make the playoffs. Why not? It's not like our Sox are even trying as Tank Two continues to develop.

Are you kidding me?? Have we really lost 9 in a row again?? And we might have an 0-10 homestand? This is beyond belief. The entire season a total Ripley Believe it Or Not episode.

Jerry made a good buck off those fans. Not a bad idea, fly in for a weekend holiday series.

You know, our Sox are so bad I hope the Cubs make the playoffs. Anything to try to embarrass Reinsdorf. He probably won't be embarrassed and the media is pretty much ignoring the awfulness of the team so I hope the Cubs make it. This season and last and the current state of a double tank has changed my mindset so much as a Sox fan. I sort of hate the team and whole organization now while recognizing I was born a Sox fan and will never divorce completely.

Aren't they five back of the WC? That's too many to make up. They stunk for too long to make the playoff.

I know it doesn't matter cause of tv contracts and all that, but how in the hell can they sell even 1000 season tickets for next season? And how could any corporations waste time advertising for Jerry's clowns. It just makes no sense that this team makes billions of dollars.

Thanks 2023. How was the crowd? I saw Phillips stands were about half full or more than that. Not bad. What about your side of the field? Were the people having fun? Glad your kid is 1-0.
