I assume apologies will be forthcoming.

Mancini would be a very interesting get. Not left-handed so doubtful I guess.

Baseball gods were kind to me. Electric was out until the last few innings. Some of our boys need a day off to get right between the ears.

Agree 100%.

Something we absolutely agree on.

Trust me...we need another.

Need a strong 8th inning guy and it's and we can call it a good day.

And if we are going to get more better we need more talent.

How do we end up with the game on the line and batting Hamilton and Goodwin?

Not very!

Not really...but any production is a surprise. On the other hand...both guys are very good defensively.

I think this problem of having so many good hitters that it is hard to play them all is rather fun.

Real Bummer was untouchable in any trade. I wonder what the insiders think is the problem. Heuer seemed to have found a little something lately but Bummer is miles from his old self.

Yeah...you could even see that across the pond.

Therefore...if Zavala could hit he would be worth a fortune.

Love him in the role he's in.

"A watched pot never boils." I trust RH to get er done...we just need to be patient.

I like Benintendi a lot but Merrifield is the guy that the White Sox should get their hands on.

Funny what one guy can do for the overall look of the lineup.

Goodwin will not be on the playoff roster IMO.

I think Jimenez, Robert, Vaughn, Engel, and Sheets will all get substantial playing time in the outfield. The two guys not playing outfield at any one time will be in the DH mix with Grandal and Jose. Leury keeps a job because of his flexibility and Hamilton has late-inning running and defense abilities. No room at the inn for anyone else.

I tend to think this way as well. However, I'm not usually thought of as a pessimist.

Yep...the outfield is going to get crowded when Robert comes back. Money needs to go to relief pitching and 2nd base.

I like him a lot.

Yep...those NL parks in the World Series will require being outside of our comfort zone.
