Nice for Sheets to give the fans who stuck around in the cold something to cheer.

I can see league GMs voting Rick Hahn as GM of the Year in October. It's not like he did any better of a job in 2020 (Mazara, Encarnacion, Keuchel, Grandal), plus you keep him around for perhaps a few more years.

If the Sox don't acquire an actual legitimate Right Fielder this offseason, and don't promote Colas until May, don't buy Hahn's spin they are trying to compete for anything in 2023, let alone "Multi-Championship Seasons". Oscar Colas (OBP / SLG / OPS) (2016-2020) Cuban National Series .382 / .487 / .869 (2017-2019) Japan Western & Pacific Leagues .343 / .483 / .826 (2022) Minor Leagues A+ / AA / AAA .369 / 513 / .882

Agreed, but not sure they have 9 other guys with two functioning arms and wrists. Can't put guys on the IL, they might come back to go 0 for 4 within the next 10 days.

Would normally agree, but believe Jerry sent the smoke signals Tony is not returning. Nobody said boo until then.

The satanic ass clown brought a bat to the mound, did a bat flip, and then took about a minute to throw the damn ceremonial pitch. Seemed to be more people on the field than in the OF stands.

He's regressed a bit in the second half, that is for certain (.857 First Half OPS vs. .791), one of the few healthy Sox hitters (Robert exempt) not doing better in the second half than the first.

First and second, nobody out,

Infield hit, 2 base throwing error, sacrifice fly. White Sox defense strikes again.

No, it's the Autumnal equinox. The Vernal equinox occurs to usher in Spring.

What did he say?

Tito / Cleveland vs. Tony / White Sox in 90 seconds.

The Sox began the day closer to a Wild Card Birth, but both Tampa Bay and Baltimore are ahead. Cues Jim Mora Playoffs clip.

Sadly, like Bulls fans we are stuck with Jerry at the end. https://clutchpoints.com/the-last-dance-news-charles-barkley-rips-jerry-reinsdorf-real-culprit-bulls-breakup/

Well, if he wants to stick around, he better get used to it, as every guy mentioned in that quote, and a dozen more miss significant time most seasons. Abreu and Vaughn are the two most dependable players, and most here want both gone next year.

The difference being Billy is the guy who trades away an expensive old Pollock, not trades for two expensive years of Age 34-35 Pollock. Colas is the only player in the entire organization who had a chance at nailing a positive WAR in RF this season. Engel can’t physically play regularly anymore, and can no longer can hit. Pollock would be brutal in RF, not much better than Vaughn/Sheets with a worse bat. Leury? OK Mazara, Eaton, Pollock. Just wow.

Hope you make it to Samui Caufield!

SoxTalk 2022 Post of the Year! Can’t fault Kenny for targeting Halle.

Per statcast, Vaughn is faster than perma-sore Eloy. LOLz

I read some Hahn apologist covering baseball claim the week Vaughn and Sheets playing the corners regularly are Tony’s, not Hahn’s idea, and that Hahn wanted Pollock playing right field this season. Waiting for the demise of Jerry Reinsdorf or Keith Richards (just under eight years younger) is a fools errand. They will both outlive us all.

Brooks Boyer has jumped the shark. There needs to be an Exorcism expelling Satan from the entire organization.

Well isn't that special. Not surprised, Jerry is the Prince of Darkness, after all.
