  1. I say we trade them Lopez and DeJong for Madrigal. He belongs in a Sox jersey.
  2. If they trade all those guys fans need to just treat the Sox like a minor league team the rest of their lives (at MLB prices though). It'll be apparent even more than now that this is just a (bad) entertainment option not a competitive team and has ZERO chance of ever winning anything of note again. Just go to the game as if it was a minor league game, not caring who wins, just a (bad) entertainment option for a summer night. Flipping everybody will accomplish nothing except show us even moreso this is not a real sports team it's a once-in-summertime entertainment option or something to watch on TV when utterly bored of movies, talk shows.
  3. Looks like the Sox are serious about not wanting to break the all time record for losses. They've been making a lot of moves, albeit some (many) forced by injuries. If this guy is good and pitches well he could add some excitement along with Crochet, Robert, Fedde, Pham, last night's starter.
  4. Kopech is as bad a reliever as the Sox have had in a while. And Leasure is overrated apparently. He's been pathetic. Tonight was another game that proves there always will be one aspect of the game that prevents victory. Tonight the starting pitching was A-plus, the hitting and defense were good nuff. But the bullpen was an F-minus and that's the ballgame. Of course I heard on the radio Sox rank last in pitching (I think it's ERA) and last in BA. Way to put together a roster. You'd think they want to lose, wink wink, tank, tank.
  5. That's what I said too. Read your comment now. U were first.
  6. Well that was revolting. Again, it's tough to blow a 4-0 lead in the eighth. Good luck to whichever team wants Kopech. And Leasure probably has lost trade value. Looks like he's throwing meat up there. Julks and Robert had nice games for all the trade lovers.
  7. Sox would have more than the one lone, everything went right that 05 postseason title if they had never got rid of Dombroski. I'd go with the Sox as one of the three worst franchises in all of sports today, arguably the worst.
  8. Those 3 Blackhawk titles were fun. It was great to have Crawford in goal. Seems to me if you don't have a super goaltender u ain't winning squat. As far as the White Sox it's quite difficult to put together a team this awful. And it's not like the Sox are gonna get the No. 1 pick the next few years with the change to that rule. That's hilarious in itself. The Sox can't even time their tanking correctly. Just think if the Sox could get the No. 1 pick the next few years. "Some" fans would be in nirvana year after year. Some of our fans have bought into this tanking thing being a good thing. I'm a little surprised Jerry has gone along with it. I guess he's won enough titles and now it's only about making sure his grandkids and great grandkids are multi millionaires. In any other business Robert and Crochet would be seen as must-keep assets. In Sox business they must be traded. Crazy world. That's why I'm in favor of contracting the Sox. See if Chicago can get an expansion team.
  9. And that's why Getz will 100 percent trade Crochet, Robert and gulp, Eloy. And Kopech (to some team desperate to think he might be able to close with proper coaching). Getz will be praised by fans and media for the tank job. Do any of you tire of me expressing complete displeasure at the Sox tanking again? It's the only subject that has my attention (cept maybe DeJong's out of nowhere power and Robert's sleekness). -- I was talking to my lifelong Sox friend. He told me he has divorced himself from the team and when I told him bout trading Robert and Crochet he laughed and acknowledged the Sox will be bottom feeders a long long time to come. Who cares if Sox farm system will be ranked top 10 after the bloodletting? Not me.
  10. What'd he do? I didn't watch. Is he a loafer? I usually am awed by his raw ability. He and Tatis woulda been a nice 1-2 punch.
  11. Holy cow. Is he really 1 for 46? Maldy has no pride apparently. Time to retire. ... Pretty routine loss. DeJong is pretty good. However I don't think he'll bring much via trade. His upside is pretty good for a dismal Sox team where he has no pressure and can try to hit 30 homers or more. Go to a good team? Me thinks he'll close the year about .120 for the new team with 5-6 homers max.
  12. Not sure how we won this one. My bad. I think being at home you'll run into some wins against teams not so great on the road.
  13. Not always. But losing 14 in a row was not conducive to happiness. Pastrami is a guaranteed loss. Don't have to bet the shed tonight. Bet the house and over.
  14. They weren't creepy. Obviously somebody told the two to have her in the booth a half inning. And frankly they understandably were out of questions after a good amount of interview time. They covered a lot of ground with her and none of it was improper or creepy. Give them a break. They get a female gymnastics star thrown in the booth (we don't know if they had much time to prepare or not) and had to interview her. They both did fine. They were professional IMO. Geez.
  15. Disgusting. Disgusting! I am furious. ... You know why? Mark B was like a pitching coach/player. Watching him work FAST and furious, challenging hitters quickly, rubbed off on other members of the staff. Also his "I don't give a damn about baseball" attitude was glorious in the clubhouse. Mark didn't want baseball, didn't need baseball as he was a good ol boy who never got to pitch for his beloved Cardinals. He did a job for chicago and did it well. He should have retired as a WHITE SOX! I saw the TV interview, not radio. The TV interview wasn't as good but Mark again showed his I don't care attitude. One of my fave Sox ever. Opposite of a human rain delay. Mr 2:05.
  16. Geez, somebody got hit in the head with a bottle in the first row they said. That's inexcusable behavior by the bottle throwing fan. Cmon people.
  17. I think he and Stoney deserve a break. They interviewed a female gymast from Bolingbrook. The questions were fine. Nothing inappropriate at all. We got to give the new announcer a break. ... DeJong is an OK player. He passes the eye test.
  18. I'm not even mad at those dumb plays that cost us two runs. Whatever. Good interview with the Michigan State gymnastics star from Bolingbrook. They should have given her more than 20 tickets. Kidding. She said she only used 19 so class move by the Sox,
  19. Crochet is a star, Robert is a star. Two guys who may someday start to bring the Sox to respectability. My gawd. They are good.
  20. Thanks for alerting us this is free on mlb.com. My first game of the year. Robert baby! BTW if we trade Luis Robert that may be it for me. I might divorce myself from baseball if we can't keep this horse! My gosh he is a physical specimin as they say. This guy unlike Eloy is worth nursing any injuries he gets. NO REASON TO TRADE THIS STAR folks. 1-0.
  21. Yep. This one is Chicago's. Time to Bet.The.House or at least the shed.
  22. Is the movie industry dead? It seems to me there are no blockbusters anymore. The previews I saw before watching the ridiculously offensively bad, sophomoric Planet of The Apes were all sleep inducing borefests. I know Covid hit and the woke madness hit but you'd think movie going would never go out of style. I guess it has.
  23. When Getz calls teams offering Fedde, Pham and DeJong he'll be laughed at and offered a steak dinner at Ruth Criss for each. Robert and Crochet and maybe even Leasure who allegedly has potential might bring back alleged good players though. Eloy might bring a snack and hot coffee at Starbucks.
