No obstacles to malfeasance will stop our record-breaking Sox as the squawk crowd roars.

I would say Matt has been a disappointment. 3B open and not qualified to compete. Let's move on.

Sometimes you have to break up the old boys network. I assume some orgs use certain modern mgt metrics to analyze locate and promote office talent however the memo never reached 35th and Shields. I am sure Theo and Billy Beane would have some insights on this. I personally prefer more of a gunslinger mentality in the field manager dept (think AJ). They could have been grooming someone ideally and I suppose Omar is their guy. I see Ricky more as a teacher-coach kind of talent who somehow got on the manager career track. I do like having a bi-lingual guy which has become important.

O/T just shaking my head at Christian Yelich. When somebody steps up and takes over the game you have to stop and watch. Sunday is for him maybe Monday too.

Tomorrow the losers will be in all their loser glory. Rebuild!

Granted we are rebuilding but almost everything went backwards this year. We found Palka, Lopez strong finish and TA's glove.

That would be me instead of all the apologists here and the others wishing for losses.

Our ace is an asterisk.

Your ceiling is assistant fries clerk at Checker.

A DH that will live in infamy #soxstrong.

So you just spent the NK defense budget for Machado to butcher your SS position through Trump's third term. Where does the rebuild go from there. Do you keep Abreu and Avi or invest in Fulmer and Covey while sewing a C on Castillo's jersey. Thanks for playing and I will hang up and listen on my Clutch Cargo fitbit.

That would not explain why the average per game attendance is about 30K. We hear Hawk raving when 25K show up for Family Sunday. We are among the bottom-feeders in that category. No reason to gloss it over. The visiting teams know what things are like here. I would rather not be force-fed a bunch of PR about going after the big fish.

I am a diehard Soxman but the metrics don't place this org in a favorable light. Machado doesn't want to play in front of 12000 fans for a team that gets little national press. I suppose you might find a guy who wants to lead a rebuild but who would that be. We will have to make do with Jon Heyman rumors that the White Sox are darkhorse favorites to sign Machado or Harper. I can see it now.

Meanwhile Ricky says you have to take advantage of home-field advantage. Girls should be careful not to give their hearts to young ballplayers. It gets messy.

Granted Moncada got a lot of bad calls but if you are challenging the K record you need to bring a lot of something else in your game. One thing we saw was Moncada and Anderson being worn out because of the roster situation. MLB doesn't care if teams end up with two bench players. The only other option is having pitchers who can hit and field or hitters and fielders who can pitch. If MLB added two roster spots some teams would add two pitchers. Not a good situation.

Bullpen night because they have zero pitchers qualified for a Sept audition. Very little mlb progress this season amid a progression of forgettable relievers and outfielders. No other way to spin it.

They will sign a decent SP I expect and not much else. Maybe trade Matt D for some bullpen help.

People who have to announce they are leaving are obviously quite needy and they almost never really leave. There was an Elton John song about a guy who was going to end it all except to stick around for the funeral and see what a ruckus he raised.

I have Covey penciled in as sixth man out of the pen which is valuable enough. I do not think we have seen any minor league SPs this month which seems a bit unusual. We had Kopech come up and I guess no one else was ready or worthy.

Rodon not durable? Do we prefer Avi or Polk Salad in RF?? Polk Salad Danny! haha

Palka is hot but he seems to have been improving. It would be quite unlikely that he is not on the roster next year. They might not have room for both. Palka is making himself indispensable and has the state of mind to succeed. Just give him some space and room to do his thing.

Guess again Bubs. That wasn't my point but yes he came out of nowhere.

Polka does have more HR and RBI than Schwarbs and is a better OF. For a muscle bound guy he gets around ok. I expect him to reach 30 HR. Now who would have predicted that in April. Just so nice to watch a guy step up this year and achieve something on offense.

Did you know that Tim Raines came up with good guys wear black.
