How much? Is it on the order of $40 million, or $400 million. The stuff I looked up is old news. I'm not sure of the severity of Cubs dilemma.

That was one nasty curve ball he threw to get the last out in the first inning.

That's a new level of analysis.

A lot of what you say is true, Flavum, but still, what is the matter with just letting the facts play out, and they will. You don't know everything, nor does anyone else here. At one time many of you wanted to string up the Duke soccer team. Then there was a collective "Oops." At least two people are dead, and probably a lot of others are affected a lot more than you are. Let the dust settle.

Disagree. One big hole this year was DH. Yermin is better and much cheaper than Edgar. Hole filled. Right field was a hole, and probably will be again. So, play Engel. Hole partially filled. Starting pitcher was a hole, but almost everyone has the same hole. Kopech should help fill it, as will Crochet if his elbow is okay. If you or anyone else thinks that not offering McCann a doable contract will automatically fill one of Southsider's holes, look no further than two of last year's acquisitions, EE and Mazara, who were signed to fill holes. Plus, Vaughn will help fill the DH Hole.

Give him a QO. If he takes it, he is overpaid, but the White Sox always overpay several players. This year it was Edgar. I would rather overpay a really solid player than someone like EE. Since he is looking for a long year contract, he will probably reject Sox offer anyway, and then Sox get a draft pick.

Hahn chose EE over Yermin.

Yep.

I still cannot imagine why Ricky would think that Rodon would get anybody out in a clutch situation. Neither one of them belongs in MLB.

Inaccurate. Final game in 1959 was very one sided in favor of LA. 4-2 was the score of game 2, IIRC. I was there.

Some guy from SoxTalk predicted this a few days ago.

Does Robert ever steal any more?

Robert might be looking at a hot streak very soon.

Too bad Jose didn't come here 3-5 years sooner. He would have close to HOF numbers. Don't laugh, look em up. 6 great years, 1 so-so year (injured). Just sayin.

They'll just tear it down in a few years.

Perfect word.

The word EPIC might be an exaggeration, but the word COLLAPSE is not.

Tough to go 0 for 29. I'm glad it's a short season.

The way he handled the bottom of the seventh inning, it looked like Rickey was tanking again.

gotta pitch to 3 Indians

Was this decision all on Manfred? Makes little sense to me.

Does that mean Ruiz is gone?

That's a big jump from not liking a new rule, which was put in there to avoid really long extra inning games, to cancelling the season altogether. I don't think the MLBPA would like you.

EE and Mazara are almost certain to be gone next year. Both pluses. Dyson, too. Another plus. We'll probably lose our best all around catcher. A negative. Now it looks as if Collins and Vaughn will be added. My hope is that they can figure out a way to get Yermin on the roster. Get another outfielder somewhere. Looks easy.
