Sox will play the Indians 10 of next 23 games starting Monday. Ouch. That's going to get ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I love how the Sox the past several years of suck always cure the ills of teams that hope to contend in the Central. Earlier this year Minnie woke up after playing the horrid Sox. Now Cleveland figures to turn its season around by beating us up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Twins are a staggering 9-11 since they woke up after playing the White Sox. But don't let a nerdy statnik ruin a good greg narrative.

Although I think I read Elvis was only 18 so forget that for 5 years. The other guy is a non prospect right? They made the early trade; now it's up to the Sox to trade Shields and Soria while they are hot. I can guarantee you Soria will get bad again soon enough (unless Cooper has fixed him for good) and Shields also is gonna hit a wall before too long IMO.

The won 4 of their next 5 games after "beating the Sox butts", then lost 5 of 6, kept being mediocre and are in 3rd place behind the rebuilding Tigers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Royals fans are in nirvana today, lol. They acquired three guys nobody's ever heard of (the future unknowns) for their closer. They now are embracing the suck as Sox fans have done. They are comparing it to when they got Cain and Escobar. Ah, how great a job it is to be a GM nowadays. Losing is beloved! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You new wave baseball fans can read this Nightengale story about how baseball is in deep s--t cause of all the new wave attitudes about bases on balls and strikeouts and other things.
