Pham and Ramos baby. Pham is meant to be a White Sox just like Zisk in 77.

I haven't studied the deal. Did the Sox get any can't miss stars in the Cease deal? Cause he, Crochet and Clevinger plus Lynn who we coulda signed for pennies would have actually been a decent rotation. It doesn't take much to contend and the Sox with their moves almost don't ever want to contend again. Disgraceful team.

I hope Burger has a good 5-6 years. Mainly cause I was so wrong about him. I hated the pick in the draft mainly cause he's only a DH. His defense reeks. But I love him and wish he was on the Sox hitting mabe 30 hrs.

Glad to get rid of Grossman. Other than that, whatever.

He'd look behind him and see Lopez and DeJong and say to himself, my gawd I can hit better than those two.

You know at least Jerry unless he's incredibly stupid or shielded from negativity knows nobody gives a bleep about the 2005 title anymore. That is not his legacy in Chicago. His legacy is Michael Jordan and the Bulls (granted that's a feather for him) but also the woebegone Chicago White Sox. And the more our team loses the more he has to own his failure as a baseball owner. Yes Chicago fans will always be happy about the Bulls but his legacy now is mixed because of his totally gutting a franchise in MLB and pretty much disrespecting a sport and city by putting a Minor League team on the field.

What a stinker. I'm not a fan of playing this Ortega guy. I'm a little surprised we've laid down and died for a lousy Rays team that we mauled in Chicago. Don't know if any of you saw Ozzie's little rant about how he's a Sox fan and after game one he was really depressed/ticked off. He agreed with his partner on the show there was no accountability.

Does Burger remind u of Bob Horner?

I'm not a Grossman fan. Should I be? ... Yikes I just saw Clevinger's line.

I can't see him playing 3B or 2B obviously not short. That leaves 1B or DH for Mr. Burger. I think he's a DH. There's absolutely no position for Jake IMO. Could he be an acceptable first baseman? I have no idea but I'd think not by eye test only.

Wow. Sox play the Rays again. Rays are another wretched team. Sox might keep winning for a while. I won't jinx the team by saying 'Bet.The.House." however you could bet the tractor at least.

I'll stop being 'quiet' about Burger. He actually has 15 RBIs which is darn good for the amount of at bats. And I've read some stories from Miami for when he got hurt. The skipper was dejected. He was all about Jake Burger. Don't forget the RBIs and don't forget how it's just April. It used to take my fave, Abreu, forever to get going. Long live Burger!

Is Jake kind of a free spirit? I get the vibe of a fun loving Babe Ruth-ish type personality where he'd love a good hot dog in about the 7th inning. He just seems Curley-esque to me. Maybe we can get him back on the cheap.

How come only 57 at bats for Jake? He does have 15 RBI which would be a high amount on the Sox.

Agreed. But my point was supposed to be that Sox have actually been merely a bad team since the arrival of Pham and Mendick. Think about how it would not have taken that much over the last winter as long as they spent just a few bucks to at least acquire a handful of players that could make the squad merely bad, not embarrassingly bad. Inexcusable. And if the Sox flip everybody like Lip Man said then we're probably guaranteed another 6-22 start next season. Surprised the commish doesn't contract the Sox.
