Dick Allen

I am sure he's a nice guy, and I really want to like his calls, and probably would if the Sox were 67-26. But it's just too much. In the last 4 games I have actually heard him say he thought the now 41 games under .500 White Sox could get back in the race, and was marveling at how valuable Martin Maldonado was navigaing a rookie pitcher theough a 2/3 inning 4 run outing. What is he talking about? i get you are supposed to fluff things up a bit, but when you go obnoxious, you lose any credibility.

i just want him to become Baltimore's GM. I think the Sox could get their top 5 prospects for Maldonado and Lopez if that were the case. Maybe throw in Sheets as a kicker. I just wish at some point, someone sit down with him, probably Brooks, and explain to him that 26-67 is really, really bad. The people listening and watching now, are not that dumb.

To me with ll his either fake enthusiasm or if it’s real, over enthusiasm. Schriffen is a lot easier for me to listen to, since the team is so bad, when they are losing, than when they are winning.

I kind of agree, but he is already 25, so he will probably be one of those guys that is really good one year and really bad the next.

Schriffen actually used the that’s what makes Martin Maldonado so valuable helping Leasure navigate 2 outs and 4 runs. He’s a stooge.

Great managing and pitch calling there.

Schriffen sounds like Lloyd Christmas.

Call 1 800 GOT-JUNK

Pedro would cry if the Sox got rid of Anderson. He has him up almost every game. Close games, blowouts, it doesn't matter.

When was the last time a team really made out on the return of a sign and trade?

6 or 7 years is probably accurate, but with a good front office, and scouting, and development staff, it could take half of that. Larry Himes drafted Black Jack 5th, then got The Boy Wonder 10th, which is exactly where they will be after next years draft. Got the Big Hurt 7th....they were ready to go, and then added young Alex 4th. Competent vs. JR yes men. That stretch lead to perhaps the best sustained success during JR's ownership. Then the strike happened, and they started operating their current style.

He intentionally walked someone to get to Burger.

if they trade Holliday, there's something messed up with him. The only way he's available is if he makes all Rick Hahn's busts look like potential HOFers.

He’s still got 102. Some team will get him straightened out.

38-91 since Getz took over on the interim and then got the job. Can’t waste a year.

That’s a shame.

Just keep waiting by the phone KW.

Again, the runner on 3rd can fly, almost zero chance to throw him out, but he may come up lame, may fall down. As long as you are on the field getting paid millions, giving it your best shot should be the only option. If he just throws the ball, there is no problem, all those defending him not throwing it wouldnt have a problem. Like someone wrote earlier, if you aren't going to give it a token toss, why even catch it?

Because he wasn't. Its the poster who posts on message boards although he thinks message boards are stupid, and supposedly is a Sox fan although he thinks Sox fans suck.

Bullshit, I was at 80% of his home games in his prime. He got booed in 2002. But his last AB in what was maybe his last home game in 2002, when the speculation was his Diminished Skills clause would be picked up by JR, he got a standing ovation.

BS. I know Frank was booed, and it shouldn't have happened, but past his prime. I don't recall TA being booed at all, and if he was, it was last season, which wasn't his prime.

There was little chance, but he needs to make an effort. Sorry, he could fall down or pull a hammy. It is probably making a bigger deal out of it than it shoujld, but its no better than if he hit a routine grounder to SS and walked back to the dugout instead of running it out.

If it goes extras, Maldonado is the ghost runner.

Javy Baez had a similar drop off but he waited until he was guaranteed 9 figures.

DeRozan is screwed. Almost impossible for him to be involved in a sign and trade for what he wants. He's going to have to sign really cheap for a season, and then he may finally get old.
