South Side Hit Men

Wait a minute, they signed him for two years $17M? He's 34 and has a 7.71 ERA with this ridiculous contract stipulation. I'm calling Illinois Adult Protective Services when they reopen on Tuesday, and requesting an elder abuse check on Jerry Reinsdorf. There is no telling what drugs they slipped him to sign off on several deals the past two seasons, including this jackass deal.

Ozzie or Ricky handling Joe Kelly.

I like to think of Tony as Steve Urkel, irritate him on multiple levels.

Did you make it to San Francisco for the series, @Richie ?

Twins tied it via a leadoff homer by Polanco off of Lopez.

Can Graveman or Kelly go two days in a row? Who is available today in the Sox bullpen? Lopez, Lambert, Ruiz and Foster have been off for three days. Velasquez for eight days. Hopefully none of them are hurt. Banks and Kelly threw 17 pitches yesterday, Graveman 12.

Liam is healthy enough to tweet.

Two runs in any of these three games may be a tough ask, with the possible exception of a bullpen / AAA starter game for the Giants tomorrow.

And Belle was solely out of Jerry’s spite against the other owners for settling with the players. Cut bait after two years once his tantrum subsided. To be fair, Carlton Fisk is the first Sox free agent to fit the bill. It’s just been a long four decades since.

His positional flexibility has helped the Sox, but the lack of starting 2B and RF, and organizational depth during the past three seasons have led to him playing as a regular. That falls on Hahn, not Ricky Tony. Leury isn’t performing well, but he really shouldn’t be put in the situation to play 120-140 games a season. Yet here we are, year after year.

Last White Sox 1-0 win was September 24, 2021 in Cleveland. Cease went 5 1/3, and four relievers finished it out. Luis Robert's 5th inning home run was the game winner. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CLE/CLE202109240.shtml Lynn looked solid tonight, a good sign for the second half. Think the cold weather hurt both offenses today.

$50, and they are going like hotcakes!!!

Kurt Busch threw out the first pitch today, my brother was at the game. I texted "Was he booed?"
