South Side Hit Men

Glad Grandal is taking advantage of Charlotte "magic" before it wears off by Sunday.

Born in 1986: Cueto. Born in 1987: Abreu, Diekman, Harrison, Lynn, Pollock, Tepera. Born in 1988: Andrus, Eaton, Grandal, Kelly, Keuchel, Kimbrel. Born in 1989: Hendriks.

This was Rick Hahn's call, Tony had nothing to do with this debacle. Tony La Russa managed one hundred years and never used an opener.

Twins have taken 29 balls, walking 3 times. The Sox have taken 8 balls, walking 0 times.

Jake Cave has done more in two innings than Eloy and Pollock have all season.

DFA POLLOCK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Say what you will about Tony, but even in his current state he isn't stupid enough to start Joe Kelly in an important September game against what now appears to be the Division favorite (with Cleveland's pitching staff in shambles).

And fuck off Matt Spiegel and the rest of the Score whores. Rick Hahn's strategery is even worse than Tony La Russa.

Jake Cave making the Sox his b**** yet again.

Assclown Rick Hahn came up with this plan now that his boss is away. He also came up with the Opener scheme in Oakland for Game 3 in 2020, than threw Rick Renteria under the bus for it. Fuck you Rick Hahn you sorry sack of shit.

Is someone warming up at least? Update: The Sox do have Martin warming up in the bullpen.

DJ said he's wearing goggles tonight. At least a few ladies seem to like it LOLz.

With the 1% chance this does happen, think of his UC partner Rocky Wirtz, or some a local family like the Crown, Bluhm or Pritzker families. Jerry will never sell to someone like Mark Cuban or someone else who would invest in the team and players, and look to cultivate new and existing fans. He wouldn't even vote approval for people like that to purchase another team.

Sounds like Rick Hahn’s 2020 Game 3 plan in Oakland, because he only handed Ricky two starters, with one of the two being Dallas Keuchel.

Tony La Russa playing 4D chess, priming Jake Lamb for meaningful 2022 at bats in 2021.

Miguel stated earlier this week he will be in daily contact with Tony regarding lineup construction. So even if all 26 Guardians are out the season, the Sox will still have to get past Minnesota using Tony La Russa’s lineups.

Cleveland is falling apart, with their scheduled starter today (Plesac) fracturing his hand between starts, and Civale also placed on the IL today and likely out the season with forearm “inflammation”. Tony LaRussa celebrating in the hospital late October is now at 1% likelihood.

I'll never forget October 7, 1984. Early afternoon Walter Payton becomes the NFL All Time Leading Rusher. Late afternoon, Ryan Sandberg spills Gatorade on Leon Durham's glove, the rest is history. Once a Cub, always a Cub

Twins name their 10 Piranhas for tonight, including White Sox killer Jake Cave (.811 OPS vs. the White Sox) SP Sonny Gray 1. Luis Arraez (L) 1B 2. Carlos Correa (R) SS 3. Max Kepler (L) RF 4. Jose Miranda (R) DH 5. Nick Gordon (L) 2B 6. Gio Urshela (R) 3B 7. Jake Cave (L) LF 8. Gary Sanchez (R) C 9. Gilberto Celestino (R) CF

Signing Springer and Schwarber and trading Eloy for SP after 2020 would have been huge for the Sox the past two seasons (and beyond).

The White Sox OF actually improved this season (LF 13th, CF 12th, RF 22nd) over their performance the past four seasons. 2019-2022 Team Rankings across MLB: LF - White Sox 26th CF - White Sox 11th RF - White Sox 28th

Perhaps I assumed Ron's superpowers this week. Hours before Tony missed Tuesday's game. Right after Eloy's possible last at bat as a White Sox. I will have independent scientists confirm or deny this phenomenon. If confirmed, unlike Ron I pledge to use this power for the good of White Sox players, fans and mankind.

I think it is true the players by and large tuned Tony out since the Mercedes incident, but care about Tony on a personal level because he was with them everyday for nearly two seasons. Most likely also respected the fact that he worked hard at his age each and everyday, regardless of whether they agreed with his managerial approach. Would wager the players have far more respect for Tony than for Jerry or Hahn, with Jose and perhaps a few others being the exceptions to this assumption. Most of us have worked for managers we may have liked personally, but also knew they weren’t effective managers (and vice versa).

Yes, but so is the 2022 team, hence the attendance situation.
