Stinky Stanky

At least this time the base he stole had meaning. Last time he hurt himself it was stealing third with two outs just to chase stats. Do they have a sliding instructor?

Spot on. But sad because he's a nice kid. He'd be great in a single wing offense. Three years proving what we already knew: That you can't teach instincts. Think of all the time we're going to have on Sundays to enjoy the beautiful fall weather without worrying about the Bears.

Median life expectancy for an 87 year old US male is 5.12 years. Less than overwhelming odds of passing on for JR.

Exciting local football today as NU rallied from 21 down in the 4th period to beat Minnesota in OT. That will take care of exciting local football for the weekend. See, there is life after Fitz. More wins than last season already.

Off topic, but I gotta grudgingly give Katz some credit for how these dumpster pickups have taken the ball without embarrassing the team.

Where was this when Cease was blowing 6 run leads? Still, a great game to watch especially the mighty HR. Serves them right for having weird dimensions.

They spent the majority of this season proving that money can't fix a bullpen.

Can I have an arrow too? Seriously, I thought you'd like it.

Grifol's at fault. Gets on the bullpen phone and asks for Mariano and they keep sending Bummer. Or worse. ?

Great stuff. Somebody is gonna turn him around, but not without changing his pitching motion. Prolly not here.

Rent don't buy. And I'll help him pack. New blood, new ideas. Might work wonders, might not, but at least it's not the same old same old. We're gonna need patience. Don't expect to compete next year. Don't worry about Jerry. This will cost him less than washed up eight digit guys. He'll be in hog heaven.

Montreal White Sox. Has a certain ring to it. ? How come no one mentions the Brewers acting like they have Milwaukee by the unmentionables? And of course Jerry just buying land on the near west side? He's not moving the Sox to another city. If he did he'd have to sell the Bulls who are a cash cow and he's not selling the Bulls. He only tried to move them once, unlike our hero Veeck, who tried to move them twice. It'll keep us interested over the long winter and that's good.

Not a lot to choose between these bozos and the starting pitchers who pissed the season away.

He wasn't shy about spending far too much on bad bullpen guys. Something's wrong here. Best thing I can say for Tanner Banks as a closer is that he didn't look afraid to throw the ball.

Easy to make the wrong move when there's no right move among the bozos you have to choose from.

SSHM, I appreciate your statistical posts and the hard work that goes into them. Thanks. Seriously.

This wisdom appears around here every few years and he never sells the team. Gotta be right sometime, law of averages or something like that.

Kopeck: The least valuable coin of Imperial Russia. 1/100 of a ruble. Kopek (French): Something of little value. Colas reminds me of Colace, a stool softener medication, if you don't know it.

Back to AAA where he had some success to get his confidence back. It's Getz, all right. Might help, might not. Either way the Earth will keep spinning on its axis.

Not a bad way to use Santos to get him back some confidence in G1. Who to blame?

This is for just after a match and just before dancing the night away with the dollies (Polish barmaids). Just for the record, these bozos they’re sending to the mound are better than the starters they began the season with.

What Graveman should have been and on the cheap. Too late to matter.

If Hendriks is himself, he saves 20 of those blown saves and the Sox win those games. Where does that put the team's record under Grifol? At least you mentioned him which correctly places the blame for 20 or so losses. Not that I think Grifol is any good, but the bullpen is making him look bad, not the other way around.

The sign came down when the Cubs complained so don't make a federal case out of it. Besides, the south side allows billboards too (other than Lerner and Rowe), so they were just asking for trouble.

He wanted to put in Mariano Rivera but he's not on the team. Dumb manager.?
