hankchifan Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Pleased to read this morning that the White Sox are now #1 in ESPN MLB power ranking. Getting the recognition they deserve. Even without Eloy and Robert. Amazing. Let’s keep it going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season is a marathon but the "big things" are moving into place even better than I had imagined. Scary to think this team could get the massive boost of two all-star caliber players for a potential playoff run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeScalafini or Gausman would have given us the best rotation in baseball...if not already there. Lynn is throwing exactly how Don Cooper would had he had real talent and not just the attitude and portly shape.

Just throwing this out there - but if Sox signed another starter - we don't know if Rodon would be here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Well, that Vaughn montage was dumb. Should have played music from The Natural...outfield lights shattering, sparks flying, etc. Yermin’s winning the Sports Razzie so far, by a mile.

Yeah, Boras Corp was looking for the almost guaranteed starting shot, and a struggling Lopez was his main competition...moreso than Kopech.

caulfield12 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Sabathia should be in the HoF...just not sure he quite makes it until Veteran’s Committee vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 2005 and last year, we had a lot of late season drama. Obviously, three of those seasons led to post season victories. But not often enough.

I agree CC does a good job on the podcast. And what do you mean "somehow he came up?" Are you telling me when you see the thread title "White Sox #1 in power rankings" you don't think of CC Sabathia's HOF chances? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Pineda’s size reminded them, can’t recall now. At any rate, with as many new posts and positivity threads and game threads as we have flying around, it is occasionally possible to land in the wrong one. But surely Rabbit has never done that.

caulfield12 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) You got me, dude. You got your cheap two “likes,” everything is good in the world...the thirty something millenial has delivered what we used to call “a burn” to someone now eligible for AARP discounts. Good stuff. You cancelled me. I’m not sure how I can go on, to be honest. “It's not clear what started the (Hummer) fire, but when emergency crews arrived the SUV was already, as the kids say, fire. The vehicle was a total loss. Photos show it completely singed and missing the hood and windows. One fender sat forlornly on the ground nearby.” Gotta love today’s Yahoo News contributors.
