Tony La Russa Adamant He Is Not The Decision Maker
I've never liked LaRussa, even during his first turn with the White Sox in the 80's. But, even though he's a sleepy 100 year old and had an awful year in 2022, I would rather have him manage the 2024 White Sox than Grifol. I saw no redeeming managerial skills exhibited by Grifol in 2023.

Ohtani Watch: Dodgers sign - 700M over 10yrs
It's crazy.

DeJong to Sox
Here we go again. Dejong has a lifetime OBP of .299. Just start Montgomery. He'll be 22 when the 2024 season starts. Robin Ventura was 22 in his rookie year. He had a tough first season, but the next year he had 100 RBI.

Reynaldo López signs 3 yr deal with ATL
Seems crazy to me. Thirty million for three years? I don't think Lopez is worth anywhere near that much.

Benetti to Tigers
For you youngsters out there, Harry and Jimmy were the best.

Benetti to Tigers
I won't miss him. I never cared for his generic announcer voice or silly segues.

Marcus Thames named Hitting Coach
Thames is a former ML player with a lifetime BA of .246 and an OBP of .309. He should fit in well with the White Sox.

Craig Counsell
Can anyone imagine Jerry paying $40 million over 5 years for a manager?

White Sox on this Day - Things to be Grateful For.
I'm grateful that Kopech hasn't walked anyone yet today. Oops, I spoke too soon.

9/23- Sox at Sawx
Tough win. Can't lose them all.
-
9/22- Sox at Sawx, 6:10
I was concerned that the Sox were going to win, but the relievers came through late. Why stop at 100 losses?

9/20 vs. WSH: “There’s No Gamethread” Gamethread
Solid loss. It looks like 100 losses is likely.

Sox @ Washington September 19 Early Gamethread
I was concerned the Sox would win this one, but they came through late. Phew!

9/16 Game Thread
Close. I guess you just can't lose them all. Edging the Twins doesn't help the White Sox goal of 100 losses. Come on boys, we know you can still do it.

9/12 Gamethreads: Royals (Burnt Ends) @ Sox (Italian Beef), 3:40 PM CDT
Hopefully, another notch in the 2023 White Sox goal of 100 losses this season.

Kopech to the bullpen, Urena starting Saturday.
Just what every team wants, a relief pitcher with no control.

9/9 Game Thread Sox only 9 back of @Tigers for 3rd
I view yesterday's game as a hiccup in the 2023 White Sox quest for a 100 loss season. Hopefully, the Sox will get back on track tonight with a loss. You know how it goes, even bad teams win occasionally.
-
Kopech to the bullpen, Urena starting Saturday.
Kopech just walked another hitter.
-
9/4- Sox at Royals, 1:10
The White Sox haven't been playing well this year.
-
Sunday afternoon gamethread Detroit @ Sox
Should the Sox just let Kopech go, or give him one more year? He's walked 56 batters in his last 52 innings pitched. That's crazy bad.

Saturday night baseball gamethread...anyone?? Detroit @ Sox
This is a must win for the Sox.

8/23 Kirby v. Kopech Gamethread
What's with Santos?

8/21- Sox vs Mariners, 7:10, FS1
White Sox pitchers have allowed 44 earned runs in the last 34 innings. It's been like ML hitters facing high school pitchers.
-
Saturday Night in Denver Game Thread
The White Sox pitchers have allowed 25 earned runs in 16 innings so far in Colorado. Not bad.

Fire Rick Hahn
Everyone in the White Sox organization, management, staff, players should be ashamed. This has been one of the most pitiful seasons in White Sox history.
