2018 World Series - Red Sox v. Dodgers
What do they pay for tender-arm lefties these days. Unfortunate for Chris to be on the big stage with his shoulder not 100%.

So is no one falling on the sword for 2018?
The Sox have had winning teams that did not draw well. For the size of their market maybe the worst.

Joe Girardi holding out for a "Chicago team"
Barely mentioned but the Chicago Fire have the inside track on this one. The Sox might hire Eunice Castrata if she turns down her option year with the Chicago Sky.

2018 White Sox catch-all thread
I still don't get what the Cub have done to affect the Sox. I don't blame my neighbor when I have a bad day.

This rebuild will be long term, lasting many may losses and thousands of apologies.

Sonny Gray
Add Gio Gonzalez to the list.

White Sox projected arb salaries
Not that $8M is outrageous in MLB parlance but with Avi he either isn't ready to suit up or you are left to wonder if he is ready to contribute. They might flip him for a broken down bullpen piece in late July. Someone will later sign him to a three-year deal in return for one decent year. Given our threadbare OF I suppose he remains as our RF filler. We might have the worst OF in MLB. We are at minimum short one good OF 3B and SP before pretending to compete.

Top White Sox Prospects by Position: Second Basemen
The Sox said they expected Madrigal to have some power maybe 10-15 range.

Who stays?...who goes??
I will mark progress on my kitchen bb when Adam Engel is no longer our everyday CF. Those other schlubs can play at Charlotte until they get squeezed out. Maybe Lamarre is worth another look.

2018 Democrats thread
There could be hundreds that you hate more I am also sure of it. If Warren ran we would hear Pocohantas non-stop for two years.

Attendance
Related problem is that they are not a destination/ tourist site for people who will come out regardless. I prefer not having the party/ singles atmosphere but more restaurants would help. One area where I would give the owner demerits for lack of encouragement.
-
Attendance
It would be more accurate to say that league attendance has increased over the years more so than Sox attendance. They had millions of extra fans in late 2005-2006 but could not sustain their good will.

Police keep killing black people
The video is misleading and does not show what really happened his attorney said. To think the guy was off-duty and rushed over for some target practice. In mortal fear for his own life.

Your new Supreme Court nominee is....
The Dems may capture a participation trophy that resembles a donkey wearing Ted Cruz's head. The original would be mounted above the fireplace at the Texas hunting lodge where Anton Scalia dreamed his last dreams. That time I alluded to Trump the future dictator and was reassured that he was just like Obama. Me and Mitch McConnell. Three minutes bare hands. Susan Collins. Where can I send donations to her retirement. What a wimpy weasel.

Is it hahn, hostetler, renteria, the coaches, or all of them??
It is fair to ask why the young hitters are not progressing . They are supposed to listen to the coach.

This country makes me physically ill. No we won't get a fair election to fix anything. We have evil terrible people deciding our country's future.

Jason Benetti
Farmer will be telling a real dumb story and then casually mention oh two runs for the Sox. I think Paciorek adds a lot to the mix and makes Stone much better. Jason is a total turn-off for me and I think he brings little effort to his daily chore. If he had a better ghost writer I would reconsider.

NL Wild Card game Thread
Speaking of which I am going to enjoy watching the Brewers.

Jason Benetti
In their own way each of them seems to be just going through the motions. Stone is constantly sarcastic and Jason seems too bored to actually find better material. I am just at the age where lame humor really annoys me.

Wait Til Next Year
My take is that TA and Yo are capable of being contributing members to a winning squad but not ready to lead the way. Perhaps EJ will draw some of the glare away from them next year.
-
Wait Til Next Year
Not sure how you put a rosy gloss on setting two strikeout records. Moving YoMo to 3B does not appear to be imminent. Yet he is still a youngster.

2018 Post Mortem
Maybe if people stopped cheering for losses in the game threads there would be more optimism. I just read above that several of our recent top picks are imposters.
