This team should win the division considering everything. However. the Sox just don't play fundamentally sound baseball. In addition, they have a manager half asleep in the dugout. I see mismanagement everywhere. What they should do, and what they will do, can be two totally different things.

I don't think there is any maybe to it.

It is insane except for the fact that I can't see JR making a major change in the front office. And if he did, he just hire someone from within that would not do anyone any good.

This about sums it up. The White Sox have a chance because the division is so bad. That isn't really saying much.

Anderson is the last person the Sox can lose for any period of time. In addition, I don't have too much confidence in Eloy coming back soon. Lynn will need time to get in the groove, and it may not be until July when he starts to get back to normal. Then there is Moncada and Robert. Yes, things look bleak right now even with the bad division.

Now this is amazing. Truly amazing.

Happy with the win, but this team sure has some problems. Game should have never gone into extras.

Yes, it will take some time to work, but it would be right for the franchise in the long run. Constant tearing down and rebuilding is not the solution without solid leadership. If the the team loses the confidence of its most loyal fans, how will it bring the less die-hard to the ball park?

Lynn should help, but I don't have much faith in Eloy right now. I will have to see it to believe it.

In any other corporate situation, steps would be taken to oust the CEO when things go bad. But JR has controlling interest of the stock, and the board is old and infirm anyway. As I have said before, other board members stopped caring a long time ago. What should happen is that a good and experienced baseball man should come in and take control. He should hire his own manager and coaching staff. Then he should do an extensive analysis of the organization and then make appropriate changes. And he must have no past ties to the White Sox. Of course, this won't happen. But short-term changes will not turn the club around. Things have to be done differently for the simple reason past practices have shown things just haven't worked. Firing LaRussa would help, but a lot more has to be done or this rebuild will fail big time. Then what will they do? Another tank job?

I am sure the Twins will land on earth soon. And beating the Twins is much more important than beating the low-life Cubs.

I will say yes although I have big doubts about their success once they get there.

I am convinced that Moncada is hurting more than he wants to let on. I am with everyone else. Harrison batting second is crazy.

Hopefully, this is a sign that FO realize that changes need to be made, and that they can't wait. Getting two innings out of Keuchel every five days wasn't cutting it.

I have to admit you have a point there. I guess it would be nice to beat the Cubs into submission.

I hope the White Sox never look at this as their World Series. You want to win these games because they count in the standings, but they are not this important. If the Sox would lose to the Cubs, but go to the real World Series, that would be okay with me.

You may be right about this. And if they move to geographic realignment, Sox-Cubs games would make sense and have a real importance. But right now, it is more hype than anything. At the moment, it is more important for the Sox to beat the Twins than to beat the Cubs, as much I hate losing to the Cubs.

There is no way in hell I'd stand to watch a Sox-Cubs game. This series has long outlived its usefulness. Time to end it.

One problem this team has it will never make a Harper-type impact signing. That is why I have doubts about this rebuild.

I am not ready to call the rebuild a failure yet, either. There is still a good core of talent here. But I wonder if the FO will do what is needed to finish this job. I don't want to make LaRussa the scapegoat, but his hiring just didn't make sense. And it makes me wonder about other things.

Nice to see Dallas have pride, but he also needs to come out of the rotation. Going two or three innings is no help.

Delusional and stubborn. JR is not going to sell and he won't make any major changes. The board members are all old and stopped caring a long time ago. Something dramatic needs to happen now, but it won't. The future doesn't look too bright.

Chicago baseball teams gave up 36 runs in a one day. At least the Sox kept it under 20. Now on to the Crosstown Classic or whatever they call it nowadays!

One thing I have noticed about Sox hitters is that they sometimes don't just take one strike but take two. Then they're 0-2 and they haven't even offered at a pitch. I don't know how any hitter can expect to succeed with an approach like that.

I can't see the White Sox making a meaningful trade unless they want to give up on this rebuild. With luck, maybe a veteran pitcher can be picked up at the deadline. But I don't even expect that.
