C'mon, Nails Leasure

At least he didn't lead with his noggin this time.

Gilbert had that at-bat with Malloy.

Technically, Alta Villa translates to "high house".

It's been a while since watching a Sox game and going, "Okay, right here", and the next pitch is a HR.

Meidroth brain fart.

monty!!!!

Jesus Christ, ump. Call 'em right.

Vidi, Veni, Beni

Sinch it up and hunker down, Chase.

Old friend Bailey Horn.

Fletcher's 2nd double. Trade won.

He pitched yesterday. Ellard was only the opener.

It's very fashionable to be enraged, and the influencers tell us we must be mad at payroll amounts. Maybe the White Sox should extend Benintendi at 10/450 so they can finally be happy that the Sox are spending money and trust the influencers won't find something else to harp about.

Maybe the Twins could DFA some of their bullpen arms for the Tigers to take advantage of...

I don't get this one. They're not even playing Will Robertson. Late inning defensive replacement for Benintendi?

I love the "they MUST sweep the Sox or it's a disaster" takes.

I'm gonna go ahead and just say that Steven Wilson was not a key piece of the Cease deal.

I would have thought that 199 PAs would be long enough for the league to take notice and develop an approach to him, and maybe his .227 BA and .288 OBP is the league adjusting to him. He'd have to show some growth over the winter and start getting on base regularly next year. You can't just live off of mistakes, but Paul DeJong still gets rostered.

Because, when one gets to set standards so high they'll never be met. It's fun to pretend that we would fire everyone and demand that every Hall-of-Famer in their prime sign with our team if we were GM.
