  1. Better see a tailor Pedro because that pocket you were waiting the whole game for has a hole in it.
  2. Especially since Kopeck throws a 4-seam fastball 81% of the time and has been using his other 2 pitches less since moving into the new Pedro Grifool inspired 2-inning closer role.
  3. $60, 70, 80, $100 (supply and demand) to park a car to have the privilege to purchase beer for $12 a can, NO THANKS.
  4. And how did JR leaving the Bulls to his son work out? SELL JR SELL!
  5. I wouldn't trust any handshake deal from this Mayor.
  6. Just heard this on news and in article below....... JR's "opening his wallet" and will contribute 200 million to a new stadium. Pretty sad when your outspent by the McCaskeys, who are willing to put up 2 billion of their money for a new stadium. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/04/23/chicago-white-sox-ballpark-project-the-78-jerry-reinsdorf-sports-teams-mlb-news?publicationSource=sbd&issue=9d01b474bb7b438081b7e33eb05afbf5
  7. That's not a Sox bar then, you may have been South of Madison but North of 35th Street.
  8. AJ or Ozzie, this team needs someone who can kick ass and hold players accountable, unlike Grifool. BTW, excuse me but I didn't watch the game or the game thread so my post is coming in after the fact. I did check in a couple of times during commercial breaks for The Voice. That's shows bad it's gotten, me watching the The Voice with the wife instead of my beloved White Sox.
  9. What, and let Pedro and Eddie Rodriguez develop him LOL. They can't even teach the players we have how to do a proper rundown. Best hope is JR clears the deck and we bring him up next year, wait I'm fantasizing again that the White Sox actually know how to develop players or would actually hire the right manager to bring in a qualified staff with him to teach them the fundamentals.
  10. If only JR would have brought back Ozzie instead of TLR. I don't care what people think about Ozzie quitting on the Sox. I have no doubt we wouldn't be in this situation today if Ozzie was the Manager. Ozzie would of kicked TA's ass and told him to respect the game, and he certainly wouldn't have told the players not to go full speed to first base. It's been a downward spiral ever since TLR was brought back. Ozzie know how to play the game the right way and wouldn't stand for anything less.
  11. The Sox don't turn them into crap, they were done before they signed it's just that the Sox GM's have no clue what every other team in baseball knew about these guys. Sandy Alomar JR, Ron Bloomberg, John Jay, Jerry Reuss, Jamie Navarro, Yasmani Grandal, Mike Clevinger twice, Joe Kelly, Wellington Castillo, Derek Holland, Dallas Keuchel, Adam Dunn, Adam La Roche, Eaton 2nd signing, and Nick Swisher. Ken Griffey JR, Michael Jordon could be added to the list as well, and I'm sure there's more.
  12. Not sure what his thing is, but' it's one of a kind. I mean have you seen his pregame routine of soaking his hair. Not sure I'd want to sit anywhere near him.
  13. He puts his fingers down, apparently Pedro never heard of pitch-com
  14. "Moncada, Jimenez and Robert going down at the same time was a statistical anomaly" Not really it was inevitable since Eloy and Robert have injury histories going all the way back to the minor leagues. Moncada's minor league career was healthy but his injuries began to mount once he hit the majors and he has had a succession of back, oblique, quad, hamstring, and foot injuries to go with the latest abductor which is similar to Roberts injury. I blame both the players off-season training routine and the Sox training staff. I still have yet to see another team strap a harness around their players during pre-game warmups and make them drag the trainer around the grass like I use to witness when my seats were in the outfield along the 3rd base line.
  15. Good choice, he can certainly deliver a good postgame flush in case the AL loses.
  16. What's not to understand, JR's the owner. Enough said.
  17. You need something stronger than a beer to watch the White Sox
  18. s%*# in s%*# out but still better than having Bummer. Nickey Lopez +0.1 2004 WAR to date Aaron Bummer - 0.1 2004 WAR to date That's a win!
  19. I still grade the trade an A, getting anything more than a bag of balls for Aaron Bummer is a win.
