This I might do.

As George Washington in the hit musical Hamilton once said... "figure it out Alexander, that's an order from your commander"

It was a great accidental look behind the curtain.

Sure, when we find an offense that isn't offensive.

Sold work there.

Which seems to be the theme for this franchise.

Yep, in a tight race, the Sox were the literal difference makers.

The lesson for the White Sox is to have a historically bad team in the division to go 12-1 against on the season.

+ clearly torture.

That's the problem we have now. We have a decent amount of pitching talent, but zero offense to surround them with, and a lot of closed doors to getting that talent.

We were the stepstool for the rest of the AL Central.

Pretty sure that would be against the Geneva Conventions.

That's about right actually. We had talked about getting a suite to a game and having a psuedo family reunion in honor of my dad who passed away in 2016 and was who made me a Sox fan. You can't do that on-line, only request information. I requested information, and no one ever contacted me, and I sure as hell wasn't going to go chasing them around to give them thousands of dollars, so I basically forgot about it. The next summer that money became our downpayment for the Disney timeshare program instead. Now, I have zero interest in spending anything with the Sox.

None of the team's offensive players are among the most highly regarded. You have the previous #1 pick in Gonzalez, and some guys who have some single tool types, such as Nishida/Tatum/Gladney, who you squint at and say "if things go right...", but not any really slam dunk type guys.

They also had some great farm players who had played in previous seasons and took their lumps ready to break out. We benched ours for guys like Tommy Pham and Nicky Lopez.

Which is exactly what 29 other franchises would do so they could run Ramos at 3rd.

Because we spent it on Vaughn and Nicky.

Sure. But they also play defense better than Vaughn.

Jerry probably doesn't want to get rid of his lucky betamax.

At least we weren't last.

That's not how this has worked in sports with floors.

It just goes to confirm what we all know. Getting to the playoffs means everything. Then anything can happen.

Like I said before, if we are going to penny pinch, these are the places to do it, and not shoving Benny into a Crochet deal to save that same money.
