So then you can imagine the White Sox really did move to Tampa but hired about ten future big league GMs instead.

The White Sox aren't going to use TAnne Murray as a starting SS. They would go with Acuna or Meidroth first and foremost. As bad as Colson's season ended, he was still 13th out of 26 in SS ratings. It would be a minor miracle if Colson could be out of bottom 5.

Is there such a thing as the win-60, lose-60, and the season is decided by the other 42 in basketball? Because that was definitely one of the lose 60.

He’s onto something. A team needs to hire him and pair their analytics department with his models to refine them.

Hard to have a worse game than that.

Yea. Likelihood of it happening only occurs in less than 1 of 88,627,143,895 Universes… according to The Guide.

Teel will be fine. Colson Montgomery should reexamine what changes he may have made when he went to AZ after he was struggling earlier in the season. Maybe he had a back issue....maybe he simply could not see and react to pitches in time, and maybe he could not or refused to cut down on his swing with two strikes or adjust the plane of his swing through the zone. I imagine that the Sox/ Getz will want Colson to figure things out during Spring Training or after a few weeks into the 2027 season, or a move of some sort will be made. IMO,Tanner Murray could be a temporary stepping stone at SS until Roch is ready IF Colson continues as a strike-out king.

Not feeling it for the Brew Crew thanks to a nightmare Madison gf. Draw blood.

Boring. I’m outta here.

"Still, there are differences here. I have a home reliance metric that looks at how much of a team's overall run differential is based on its play at home. It's expressed as an index, and Milwaukee's 125 tied with the Chicago White Sox for the highest in baseball. The Rays were more middle-of-the-pack at 104. The disparity comes at the plate. Milwaukee's 5.52 runs per game at American Family Field were considerably more than any team. The Brewers' offense was still good on the road, ranking sixth at 4.75. The Rays were 13th in home scoring and 15th on the road. Of course, it should be noted that while these numbers explain Milwaukee's greater degree of home reliance, its offense performed better than the Rays through either prism." espn.com/mlb

SI2027 NFL Mock Draft 3.0: Gilberto Manzano’s Pick Predicti...Eight quarterbacks could come off the board in the first two rounds, but one signal-caller takes a dramatic fall in the top 32 picks.big falls for Manning, Dante Moore, Ryan Coleman Williams Chambliss the best player after Smith, but can he hold up to physicality (see Jayden Daniels)?

100% I share your opinions and many of your experiences.

Though not downtown, I went to Forest Park. It's a huge city park....bigger than Central Park in NYC. There's a free zoo, free history museum, and free art museum plus a number of walking trails.

I thought the arch was cool. Seeing Busch and the Dred Scott courthouse imo was worth it. The museum underneath the arch I think makes the entire experience though. Lots of good history that one can spend a lot of time learning about down there.

Surely, the walk rates have a lot to do with the rankings as well. And Antonacci's proclivity for hbp's.

One way of saying they have no starting pitching and outfield depth. Remember how a year ago Quero AND Teel supposedly provided them a niche advantage over the rest of baseball? Now, not so much.

No helicopter trip? that's a bit more fun

One factoid today: October 22, 2005 - 46 years after their last World Series, the White Sox finally got back to another one. Game #1 against Houston was played with the Sox winning 5-3 at U.S. Cellular Field. Jermaine Dye and Joe Crede hit home runs. Jose Contreras pitched seven innings and the bullpen tandem of Neal Cotts and Bobby Jenks saved the game. Those two got out of a first and third no out situation in the eighth inning to keep the Sox in the lead. They struck out Morgan Ensberg, Mike Lamb and Jeff Bagwell.

We went in July and it had to be 120 degrees plus in the trams. It was soooooo miserable. Then to get to the top and need the Catholic school kneelers to get a view of nothing was the topper.
