You're a good fan . No need for deep sadness . Every season but 2005 in the last 100+ years ends in sadness. There may be happier moments along the way but ultimately unless you win it all that's what you have to look forward to every year. Be happy with other things in your life. Keep sadness and stress at a minimum. You'll live longer .

When you pinch hit the object usually is to bat a better hitter than the one scheduled . Anything else is hogwash. Seby's OBP his last 11 games was .474. TLR doesn't even know who's hot on his own team. Sheets and Jimenez were basically the only 2 better hitters than Seby in the last 2 weeks. That's sad to say but true.

I keep thinking Mieses may end up the best hitter in the organization.

Maybe it was sealed anyway or maybe it wasn't . You have hope the guys who got the Sox into the mess will get them out of it. That hope has the same chance as hoping the Sox make the playoffs. All I keep hearing from half of you that Menechino will be the fall guy but I hope your hope is rewarded.

What greater good ?All you can do is hope that the Sox make moves and that the moves they make will help. Those are 2 things they have a chance of screwing up. If they wanted to do a rebuild right they would've made those moves before the rebuild started.

Good for you. Make your point fact !

I thought you wanted to lose. Cheer Tony and Leury .

I'm having a hrd time reconciling the fans here wanting to lose and the comments about the TLR moves. Shouldn't you want Leury to pinch hit ? You should be cheering that move. right ?

LOL wow that popup was an adventure too

Good for Carlos Perez.

Nope none whatsoever. High chop.

Perez looked crossed up the way he put his bare hand up there too

Doesn't help when 2 strikes are called balls

14 for his last 24.

I was just thinking SHeets hadn't hit a HR in a while but didn't think I could get my thought into a post before he hit a fair ball. But he extended the AB longer than I thought.

SHeets bomb !! 3-0

It was never his favorite sport though. A love for the game itself may not be especially important to doing well but I wouldn't discount it either.

LOL I could've taken a much lower road. I chose the high road.

Right, knowing when to cut your losses is key to moving on. If he hits well somewhere else , great that team can pay him. Knowing the Sox they will hang onto him rather than trade him and eat some money which they may have to do if they trade him. Of course this may apply to others too.

Was watching Robert swing the bat basically with 1 hand and funny thing was I liked some of his swings better. He looked like he really let loose on some of those swings.

Condolences Lance .

Right just as I think they tried to save $1M by not giving Perez $4 and instead signed Velasquez for $3M Remember all these things took place the 2nd week of March when the Sox had already spent all they had to spend. It's also probably the reason why they didn't improve the team at the trade deadline. JR didn't want to spend any more. But there's always room for another reliever !

Why not, if you have tolerated JR as owner for this long ? Everything wrong with the Sox is just a trickle down effect.

I've said that a few times even though I can never be 100% certain they weren't talking to him before the Lynn injury. I've also said they may have also talked to Martin Perez since the signed Velasquez for $3M 2 days after Perez signed with the Rangers for $4M.

OMG how strange you are ! You just ignore everything else wrong with the organization. Then you tell me I'm carrying water for TLR when I just told you his hiring was a major disaster ! At least when I do me I don't try to twist what was obviously not carrying water for TLR into something else. I post honestly. You post untruths that try to push off as truth. He is just a small piece of what the organization has been doing for year after year. Who hired TLR ? Oh it was JR ! Who is the chairman of the board of the White Sox ? JR ! How many playoffs have the Sox been in that advanced beyond the 1st round in 40 years ? 1 You are carrying water for JR and that is a lot closer to the truth than me carrying water for TLR which I was zero history of. Why the hell would anyone carry water for TLR ?
