The future
If the Sox have any inclination, which they should, is to hire Dayton Moore & Don Mattingly.

Sox Get Roasted On MLB Network
That video was was spot on in reference to the team, coaches & manager’s performance. Go a bit higher & the problems continue.

Kimbrel traded for AJ Pollock
Can everyone chill for a second now…. Until AJ gets hurt (fingers crossed that he doesn’t). Big upgrade for this season to bridge the next RFer. Hoping for our home grown guys to make it. Great job on the trade by Hahn.

ELOY HURT! (3/25 Update: Torn Pectoral Tendon, Out 5-6 months))
Bryant is the best answer for the long term Championship contention.

ELOY HURT! (3/25 Update: Torn Pectoral Tendon, Out 5-6 months))
I've alway advocated to get Byant to play one of the corners in the grass. This is the wrong time to go get him but it may be something needed. He is a plus if Yoan gets hurt. Could cost us a Kopeck/Stiever but this is a good move if we can lock Kris up for long term.

Players You Hope the Sox Try To Acquire (At Least Somewhat Realistic)
I agree with your assessment, hence the Dream Weaver song reference. But do you think, & I’m honestly asking, that the White Sox should not be involved in the biggest talent SS free agency next off season? I know we already have one of the best, Timmy is my favorite player, full disclosure. The thought of Seager or any of the rest on our team is captivating beyond the talent/player. It might mean the Sox are in the “big boy league “. Like it felt for a week going after Mochado/Harper(please)/Wheeler. I still think Chris Bryant in right field makes sense. Next off season, & this is not about money, the Sox need to make a big, sensible move for an All Star talent to not only push them over the hump, but to also establish them as a player with the other big market teams.

What a magical year - 2005 Chicago White Sox
I have so many memories, obviously as many of us do, about that season. First, being at game five in Annahein, celebrating with the team after the game. Second, watching the WS with my Dad & older brother in Chicago. The last baseball games my dad & I watched together. Very special.

Players You Hope the Sox Try To Acquire (At Least Somewhat Realistic)
Long shot, but, Trevor Story should not cost anything close to Andrew/Nick/Micheal. Mid level pitching should get it done. Timmy or Story have the ability to play right or let Moncada give it a shot. Story can play 3rd & move Yoan to second which would mean Nick was involved in the trade. Sox would have to sign Story to a HUGE contract that would solidify the future. Cue Gary Wright singing Dream Weaver

Cool Sox Art - Painted by Tom
Wow! These are fantastic. Very talented. Again, wow!

Did the Sox make the right moves this offseason given the money they have spent?
I would have getting Quintana for 8 mil. would have been a great investment. It would have benefited the pitching depth but also the clubhouse & fanbase.

2021 Hall of Fame Ballot
Please read Joe Posnanski on any form because as well as being very involved with the HOF, he’s an excellent historian of baseball in general. The cases made for & against players hold a bigger view of what the Hall is, or should be, about. It’s a museum to baseball. It’s a polarizing subject that may continue to be debated for decades. The system needs to be revamped, researched, & improved. Posnanski’s explanation is far better than I can even try to convey. As far as Mark getting in, I hope down the road he does. But I’m bias as a Sox fan. He’s one of those players on the edge of yes or no.

2021 Hall of Fame Ballot
Besides agreeing that Buehrle should get in down the road, my favorite part of the above quote is that the person decided to **** b**** & leave in mother fucker. Is Samuel Jackson a Sox fan?

Merry Christmas Soxtalk!
Merry Christmas Sox fans!!!! To 2021 and more!

Alex Colome should be the Sox' first FA signing
I like this plus an Archie Bradly..........& a Springer & a Bauer. It’s Christmas time & I’ve been a good boy.

Rodon and Mazara Non-Tendered
Because we are not getting Springer.

Who would you have hired?
Agreed. Espada would have been great. Worked his way into that clubhouse & five years later, after two or three rings, it’s a free agent destination & one of the most respected teams in the league. cue up Dream Weaver please

Poll: Rate How You Feel About TLR
It’s been two days & I’m already sick of this shit. He’s the manager & we’re going to have to deal with it. We can’t change it. A petition, letters, social media.... nothing is change Jerry’s mind. It’s not incredibly awful. Let’s see how this plays out. The only opinion I’m concerned about is that of the leadership (players) of this team, Tim, Jose, Lucas & the rest.

Taijuan Walker, worth a gamble or is Jake Odorizzi
We should have rolled the dice on Walker this past season. When healthy his floor is a quality #4 or five, depending on the top three.

Sox Press Conference - 11am 10/12 - RR out as Sox manager
I agree but still feel bad for him. Maybe they stick him upstairs in some capacity. We need to nail the next hire.

I agree with the Big Hurt about Robert
Robert in the two hole is not crazy. Not just for "protection", just to adjust his mind set in the box. Maybe just test it out these last few games to see how they pitch him with Joseviour next. They need to something to ebb this slump. Luis is going to be needed very much so in the playoffs. It also might benefit Yoan to slide back to the 5 or 6 hole, maybe take some pressure off of him as we all know what he's fighting through. Just spitballing . That's why I'm not in the dugout making the lineup. That said, we all are hoping someone, or Luis himself, finds a way to shake this off & return to the player he was in August.

2021 Offseason Prediction: Who We Lose and What Will Be Our Needs?
I love the way they get along so much as well. It really shows & I think that is a credit to Ricky, Pito, TA & Hahn for establishing that. Why do you think someone like Puig isn’t in right? Jose said “We’ll pass”. From all reports that clubhouse is awesome. Not just jelling, but on a level of a team, & past MLB teams that have won Championships. So much to look forward to!

2021 Offseason Prediction: Who We Lose and What Will Be Our Needs?
Thanks for the deshelling. I agree with you that he’s targeted for the rotation but that arm will be 22 next year. A lot depends on what we already have, Kopech, Dunning, Cease, Lopez & the minors. Who knows if we go FA/trade for a starter. How much fun is this discussing this instead of why Ricky bunts too much! I love this team!
