The guy can't field, can't throw, can't run, and gets hurt constantly. Time to move on.

What an absolute disaster of a home opener. Totally killed any excitement created by yesterdays win and the split in Houston. Now you have to take the next two against SF and then 2 of 3 against Pittsburgh or this thing could spiral.

Your 2 hitter can't be a walking strike out. I wouldn't give Robert too long there if he isn't at least making contact.

What happened to Stone? Out drinking with his buddy TLR and take a fall?

Great and exciting first win. Cease with just amazing stuff. Some mistakes but hey the team battled and came through huge at the most critical time. Keep in mind this was maybe the best team in baseball they were battling with. Hopefully they can one of the next two and win the series.

I for one really like Romy. If he can take that next step it would be huge for this team. I think it is a great move starting him tonight. He has been swinging the bat really well the last few weeks so why not see if it carries over. Also not a bad idea to let OC watch this one, maybe get him in as a ph later in the game. I'm sure he will be nervous as heck and it might help to just watch this first game to calm that somewhat.

Very pleasantly surprised by this move and it has nothing to do with Leury personally. It does however have everything to do with him as a baseball player. He brings nothing to the team to make them better. And maybe, just maybe the Sox finally have a Manager that will put winning above everything else.

Listen this teams chance at success this year is all on the shoulders of the guys who were expected to perform last year and didn't. And there are a lot of them. That doesn't include Colas. But if those guys who were expected to perform well do so this year then the addition of Colas could be big. I'm just saying the kid should not have any pressure put on him.

Anyone who is upset with this move is just mad at the world and will never be happy. There is no downside to this. He is an above average glove and has some pop in his bat and can also play short. Also a good clubhouse guy.

I had lost all hope. This hire at the least has given me that hope back. He said all the things I wanted the new Manager to say. He recognizes the most glaring issues with this team. Can he fix those issues? We will find out.

When the Yankees lose this series to Cleveland Boone will become available and the Sox better not screw it up and jump on him immediately.

If there ever was a .500 team this Sox team is it.

Nice to see Bill Gates at the game again. 2nd row in the gray shirt.

Does McKenzie throw more than 10 pitches this inning?

Talk about crapping the bed, the Twins already behind 3-0 in the first. About to lose 4 out of the 5.

As if they haven't tortured us enough this season of course when it's too late they are going to hit 10 HR's today just to remind us what we all expected to see all season long.

Yup.

This team in no way shape or form deserves to be in the playoffs. This season just needs to end.

The Sox will have to sweep the Guardians and even then will need them to lose 3 or 4 in a row.

All these calls for TLR to walk away are only making his resolve to come back all the stronger. The guy is an ego maniac and a narcissist. No one is going to tell the great TLR to take a hike.

I wouldn't start questioning your fandom strictly because of this season. This has been an exceptionally frustrating year for White Sox fans because of the fact that everything was setting up for a very competitive team and legit WS contender until the day JR decided to hire TLR. And to make it even more incredibly frustrating we now know that JR not only hired a 78 year old with a drinking problem but a 78 year old with a pacemaker installed. You can't make this up. And even not knowing about the pacemaker we all knew it was the absolute worst hire he could have made.. And it has played out exactly as we all knew it would. And to make it even worse, we are now seeing what might have been with different leadership in the dugout and it's too friggen late. And it was totally avoidable. The front office totally let it's fan base down with not making every move possible to take advantage of this window of opportunity to be a serious contender.

How did Cleveland end up with 6 at home against KC to end the year? Was this the original schedule or are there make up games included. Bottom line the Sox just waited too long to get serious about this thing. I blame a lot of this on TLR and his giving too many games away with terrible lineups. This group needed a constant fire lit under their butts and TLR was not the right Manager for that job.

TLR will be back at some point this week. His ego is too big for him to walk away from a pennant race.

The Sox can't let him come back to an incredible stressful situation like the middle of a pennant race just weeks after having a pacemaker installed. And I don't believe his Doctors will sign ok it either. Way too much possible liability issues involved.

Every time I totally bury this team they come back to life and make me look like a fool. If it ain't broke don't fix it so I guess I will continue to give up on them. But seriously what a great gut check kind of win. And I'm really starting to like the looks of Romy as the permanent 2B. That was a huge pressure 2 strike hit he delivered.
