That would all have to mean that Jordan Leasure goes down when they process Civale onto the roster. But congratulations to everyone on Vaughn and Palacios both being gone on the same day. Condolences to those who need them.

Is there a Sergio Santos "you've been traded" video to accompany this news?

They got little baby legs They stand so low You got to pick 'em up Just to say hello They got little cars that go, "beep, beep, beep" They got little voices goin', "peep, peep, peep"

I'm just going to go ahead and declare that we won the Vaughn trade now.

Hey, if Civale wants to request another trade, there's always Colorado.

I would like to see Palacios cut right now, but the guy does have an 8.5% BB rate, and his .300 OBP is better than Sosa and Robert.

His MiLB page says he's been assigned to the ACL on a rehab assignment May 1, but for some reason, MiLB isn't showing ACL stats. B-R.com has ACL stats, but nothing for McClain.

Missouri and Kansas are going back and forth. The teams are in MO, but KS is vying to get them to move to their side. I think MO is offering 50%, and KS passed 70%.

1/3 of the league got 0.

That's how it should work. Rojas could start for a week in a pinch. Capra isn't really an option for starting beyond a getaway day game.

The White Sox were 7-23 (.230) on the morning of May 1st. I believe that since then, they have swapped out better rookies and injured vets for guys like Jankowski, Vaughn and Amaya. Since 5/1, the Sox have played 16-21 (.420) baseball. If we assume that while swapping out better prospects for slumping regulars (Sosa/Monty for Capra, Fletcher for Palacios), they continue at a .420 pace, that would be a record of 17-25 in the remaining games before the TDL, or a 40-69 record on the morning of 8/1. I'm going to say the Sox decimate their bullpen, and maybe trade Houser and Davis, so that maybe they'll limp along for the rest of the season at the .230 pace they played through 4/30. That would be a 12-41 record the rest of the way, finishing 52-110. However, if their lineup and bullpen is fundamentally improved by prospects and play at a slightly better 19-32 (.333) pace, that leaves them at 59-101 on the season. This would probably mean their rotation is some grouping of Burke, Cannon, Vasil, Scholtens, Clevenger, Owen White, Evan McKendrie, and Tyler Schweitzer. Maybe Riley Gowens or even Jake Palisch get a shot at starts in the last 2 months.

I've seen it as the Sox being in a group of 5 teams that are going to fight it out for the three best odds-slots in the 2026 draft. Balt, A's, Pitts, Mia and us. The Rockies are in their own group this year. The Sox are 16-21 since May 1. The A's are 10-28. This is a fundamentally different team from opening day.

These are the current memes: 1) The presentation of any previous reporting of organizational hires that didn't result in multiple championships is evidence that any current hires will result in 20 more years of losing. 2) The fact that TLR and JR are still alive means that any positive developments will always be reversed and defunded. 3) Any front office personnel hired in the last 40 years who remain employed with the Sox is definitive evidence that any negative argument is factually true. 4) Every injury in the Sox organization is indicative of a failed approach over 50 years to sports medicine. 5) Anecdotal evidence of failure is unimpeachable. Data showing progression are surely all lies delivered by the lapdog media to maintain access.

Getz and Bannister have both repeated said the plan is for him to eventually start.

The Luis Robert game, this will be known as.

Funny. I wrote almost the same first two sentences, then deleted.

Yeah, it seemed like that was a prerequisite of a Manny signing. Or not. When Jay said publicly that Manny should take the best offer, or something like that, he was dead to me.

I got me ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide I just walked a Jimmy and a White, I been a-walkin' everything in sight Six days on the road and I'm a-gettin sent home tonight

Dec/2018 - the Astros signed Michael Brantley for about 3/48 Feb/2019 - Machado signed with the Padres Mar/2019 - Harper signed with the Phillies The Sox fucked around all that time pretending to go after Machado and Harper. They traded for Yonder Alonso, signed Jon Jay, and had an OF of Eloy, Engel and filled RF with Ryan Cordell and Leury. They really didn't have a steady DH. Off-seasons like that seemed to have no focus, whatsoever.

Taking the El home to Edgewater at night is nicer, even a half hour earlier.

Yeah, thanks. Sorry for that.
