I just think they should find an injury that vaughn is suffering through for a bit. I'm skeptical Elko is good, but similar to Remillard...he's a player that isn't as stained by the stink of losing. Better than Remilliard - he's led winning teams since college (maybe not all true). Meanwhile all I can think about with Vaughn is how unbelievably dumb we are.

Greg Jones...Lotta great memories there.

I’m sorry but there is no way that is true. Is that true? I’d expect we are 10 runs at least ahead of last year

Them at 35% is great. The reinsdorf failsons and father having fifty percent is incredibly depressing. There is no “not selling but passing chairman role to ishbias”, we are just stuck with this miserable moron.

Greenberg seems to have given it tacit approval

Worst thing I’ve ever seen

The white Sox signed him (because they are idiots)

Yeah I guess though some of it is also how bad both scouting and our pd/advanced scouting/etc is together. While I think a good amount of it is luck when Brian Goodwin randomly has an .850 OPS to get you through, some of it isn't. I mean had they kept on to Kevin Pillar I would not have my little anecdote here. But it just comes across that they know they want to change but don't actually know what they are doing.

One thing that's been kind of amazing is how for like most of my baseball life there's been one kinda random plus offensive season or relevant hot streak. Thinking of getting a Elvis Andrus putting up 9 home runs and 2 wins in like 40 games. The Trayce Thompson year, Palkamania, Yerminator, Avisail Garcia in 2017, McCann. Hell, Brian Goodwin's first half of 2021. Leury 2021. That stuff is random, unsustainable, but always kinda happens. And it has just straight up not been happening since 2022. Now, of stars, of course Robert had 2023. Benintendi had a few months. But to cycle through so many marginal guys and not accidentally catch a hot streak is so wild. The year is young, maybe Meidroth is the rando. but it's been the thing that has stood out to me for how astonishingly bad we have been offensively. Like, normally even bad teams you look at and are like "hey billy butler had a decent year actually"

Sounds gross

My initial trade for outman was giolito for outman and amaya and this is a tremendous monkey paw moment now

It is comical this trend of finally getting a name on Sox fans radars the minute they become irrelevant.

Agreed, I hate when we hold this stuff up as validation as if we needed it.

calling a different team the stinker of the ALC is more impressive than like any other team winning the World Series. Venable is a god
