We let Crochet go for nothing!!! I am so aggrieved!!! Fire everybody!!!!

You didn't expect it ? I stayed away because I didn't want to get into it with the same old Getz haters crying about a tiny move and blowing it out of proportion to say same old Sox and Getz sucks while hoping down in their souls that the Sox don't win the division so they can be vindicated that you can blame it all on the TDL acquisitions + Pham while the Sox are 1 game behind their high point above .500 . It's their last hurrah although they are inventive when it comes to finding scapegoats. Everyone probably thought for sure Colson had no chance of reaching 30 HR's before Mune or Vargas . I hope all 3 hit a HR tomorrow and Martin shuts down the Asstros !

Are we sure of that ? Didn't the trade with Boston where we picked up Hicks money and Sandlin come after the Robert trade ? I think people are in such a hurry to blitz Getz they do stupid fan stuff like misremember how that money was reallocated. All it takes is for one person to say yea it sucked , we got no value should've kept Robert and everyone buys in and doesn't check the actual timeline of events.

Schriffen should be fired for this sort of insensitivity! You know this wasn’t just a slip of the tongue. Simply unacceptable. Jerry, you must replace this guy immediately!

2. American League Central race. ESPN.comOK, as far as division races go, this isn't exactly the 1978 AL East or 1993 NL West. But the Chicago White Sox head into September with a three-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians as Chicago looks to become one of the most improbable division winners ever -- or maybe the most improbable. Even in what was projected to be a soft division in the preseason, FanGraphs gave the White Sox just a 0.5% chance of winning the division. ESPN's odds were even lower. Those odds don't tell the story of how remarkable it would be to go from 102 losses to a division title. No team has won a division title the season after losing 100 games (and, don't forget, the White Sox also lost a modern-record 121 games in 2024). The 2016-17 Twins went from 103 losses to 85 wins and a wild card, while the 2023-24 Royals went from 106 losses to 86 wins and a wild card; the White Sox are trying to beat those turnarounds with a division title. Key trend: The White Sox went 14-14 in August despite the rotation posting a 6.21 ERA; only the Athletics and Colorado Rockies had a worse rotation ERA in the month. Deadline acquisition Luis Castillo has been ineffective, going 1-1 with a 6.45 ERA in five starts with the White Sox, getting knocked out in four of those games before completing five innings and allowing seven home runs in just 22⅓ innings. Sean Burke had been so good all season but has perhaps hit a wall, walking eight batters in his last start and allowing four runs in the two outings before that. Davis Martin is on the injured list because of a blister problem and is 0-2 with an 8.03 ERA in six starts since the All-Star break. The offense has kept things afloat, but it has been a scramble for manager Will Venable to get through the early innings of games.

They would have had to pay full freight on his remaining contract. Someone could have claimed him or Friedl…but maybe the Reds wanted something in return as well?

Blame it on AI

SIStan Kroenke Is the Best Owner Angels Fans Could Have Hop...The owner of the Los Angeles Rams has agreed to buy the Angels for a record $4 billion. He’s already turned several teams across different sports into winners.

Most in the league this season. Our Sox are now more middle of the pack after being top 2 in walks allowed over the previous few years. I liked Katz and thought it was mostly a personnel problem, but it does make you think...

Jedixson Paez made his first MLB appearance since being returned to Boston 3.2 IP, 10 H (2 HR), 8 ER, 2 BB, 3 K

Some are saying this was the turning point of the season. Sox took the lead the very next inning

We match up well with the Astros. They allow a ton of walks.

I agree with you. I think he’s ready to help.

Good start for Schultz but a little short.

Is this true? How does it work? If he gets hurt is he able to get that money when he turns 16. This seems like a crazy thing.

Think it was the power of the stache

Walks are important and we need to limit them as pitching going forward.

Magic number to clinch a WC is 20.

No....I admit my mistakes.

A business partner and friend of mine who lives in Brighton Park is all for a proposed stadium at the Amtrak/BNSF site. He pointed out that it will be accessible to his neighborhood but even moreso to residents of Pilsen and Little Village. No trains needed. They can drive a short distance or come in on CTA buses down 16th, 18th, and 26th streets. It's potentially going to be a positive for those neighborhoods - especially East Pilsen. Los White Sox. He did share a laugh at the expense of Cub fans. He told me that he went to one of the Crosstown games and sat near a section with some tough hombres. As he described it they took care of business when a couple of Cub fans got nasty.

Yes it would....I was incorrect. Sorry about that.

Sounds like you’re working toward being an MLB umpire. 😁

Five factoids today: September 2, 1918 - In a season ending double header at Detroit, George “Buck” Weaver rapped out eight hits in 10 at bats. The 1918 season ended early because of World War I. The Sox would lose the games, 11-5 and 7-3. He went 5 for 5 in the first game and 3 for 5 in the second. He had two doubles among the eight hits. September 2, 1937 - In a game at Comiskey Park, Sox third baseman Lou “Boze” Berger and outfielder Mike Kreevich led off the Sox half of the first with back-to-back home runs. It was the first time that ever happened in team history. The Sox beat Boston 4-2. September 2, 1959 - It isn’t really that the White Sox won, 11-4, to sweep a doubleheader from the Tigers at Comiskey Park — but how the team won. The “Go-Go Sox”, down 3-0 in the fifth, scored all 11 of their runs in their half of the frame. Al Smith homered to lead off the scoring, but the 10 remaining runs scored with two outs. The 11 runs remain the most the White Sox have ever scored in a fifth inning although they have done it multiple times. Chicago sent 15 runners to the plate and knocked both Paul Foytack and Tom Morgan out of the box in the assault — Morgan without even retiring a single batter. Smith homered and singled, Luis Aparicio singled and was hit by pitch, and Nellie Fox singled and tripled during the frame. They won the opener 7-2 as well before over 43-thousand fans. September 2, 1995 - Tim Raines had his American League record of 40 consecutive steals snapped when he was thrown out in the third inning. Toronto’s Randy Knorr was the man who threw him out in the Sox 10-4 win. September 2, 2024 – With the White Sox getting blown out in Baltimore 13-3 on Labor Day a new franchise record was set. Sox starter Chris Flexen only lasted into the fourth inning and saw his season record drop to 2-14 with the loss but it also marked the 20th straight game he started that the team failed to win. That broke the old record of 19 straight starts without a win by the team set by Danny Wright over two seasons. It also set the Major League mark for most winless starts in a row by an individual pitchers club.
