Surely AL owners in the East and West are behind closed doors. Exactly, 3 teams from the Central will be in the Playoffs because they get to play more games against the White Sox, hopefully someone will read the riot act to Reinsdork.

Lip Man 1 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 27th time the Sox scored one run in a game. That's seven straight losses, I think they have a third double-digit losing streak in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work Jerry, you piece of fucking s%*#. I am not even sure what rule you could change to prevent what happened this year. They had a middle of the road payroll, signed some free agents, and actually seemed to think they could not be the worst team in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over time the schedule has never been perfectly balanced so any argument a team from the East or West has is out the window. How many years was Tampa losing 100+ games a year and the Yankees/ Red Sox were taking advantage of that. Or when Houston was God-awful in the west? Manfred isn't going to do squat as long as everyone is making loads of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally the Martingale strategy is horrible but it’s basically guaranteed with this team. I don’t think they’ve won 3 in a row all season have they? I’ve got a bankroll now to sustain like a 15 game winning streak and we know that’s never happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 It doesn’t even matter if the starting pitchers end up decent. They are scoring 3.1 runs a game and the bullpen is a dumpster fire. Neither look to have an improvement on the horizon. In fact it’s likely even worse if they deal Crochet, Robert and slash payroll even further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I get angry just looking at the box scores now. Look at those FUCKING SLASH LINES FROM OUR DH AND 1B AND OUR BIG NEW ADDITION. God damn man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at those FUCKING SLASH LINES FROM OUR DH AND 1B AND OUR BIG NEW ADDITION. God damn man. I don’t get angry anymore. I expect failure. You can name one no doubt successful Getz trade — Robbie Grossman for Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa. I challenge anyone to tell me another no doubt good trade that Getz has made. And even amongst his two good offseason signings (Fedde and DeJong), he traded one of his best trade assets for possibly the worst hitter and fielder in baseball in Miguel Vargas. Like I said, a blind, drunk monkey simply throwing darts at pictures of players taped to a wall would be more successful than the players that Getz supposedly scouts and chooses.
