  1. Few fun takeaways from this game (I live and Tampa and was there with my 14 y/o son)

    1) legit about 1/3 white Sox fans, mostly behind 3rd base dugout and in OF, made a ton of noise, lots of “let’s go white Sox” chants that then were drained out by booos.

    2) the abreu error seemed like a pretty sharp hit ball, happened right in front of me.

    3) Burger absolutely demolished that ball. 

    4) We were sitting 12th row right at 1B. Slow foul ball dribbler down to abreu in the bottom 8th. He grabs the ball, I’m the only person in our section (behind the rays dugout, I had rays employee tickets from a friend) wearing white Sox gear (my old Frank Thomas jersey from when I was a kid), he throws a perfect dime over the netting to my hands in the sense I don’t even have to move an inch from my seat. The skill to do that is pretty wild. For the record, I made the catch, bare hands. 
     

    Go Sox! Much needed win.

    You’re betting on all these guys like Abreu, Lynn, 34 year old Pollock, Harrison, Graveman and Kelly repeating…the odds are definitely not with the Sox. That’s not even getting into recent club history with such veteran targets.

    You’re also blocking Vaughn’s development, and potentially spending up to $25 million more over a two year commitment, also blocking Cespedes and Colas potentially.

    No reason just to not pay the much younger, better fielding, Joc Pederson his $6 million to be a one year strong side platoon.

    Then that &10 million is better allocated to starting pitching.

    Not saying I agree with it, but it feel like salary wise, positional need wise, they’re going to do it…

    If the Padres sign Soler, I have a terrible feeling that the Sox will end up with Myers for RF in a Kimbrel trade. Soler currently does not fit on that Padres roster.


    i completely agree. Myers for Kimbrel makes sense (in theory). I love the LAD ideas but this is what I foresee/fear happening.
