South Side Hit Men

Nope, $73M is the max allowable outlay Reinsdorf can afford.

Didn’t turn out well. Worse than Keuchel in Oakland, as a matter of fact. https://www.mlb.com/astros/video/white-sox-vs-astros-game-1-recap

“I built that.”

Tim continues to do a great job, each and every day. All kids, in fact.

Think Josh has both awoke the White Sox from their slumber, and sabotaged his clubhouse in two fell swoops. Really glad to see the Sox respond the way they did. Have a feeling David Justice and Giancarlo Stanton will implement their plan to address Josh Donaldson the first night (Thursday) of their road trip, assuming the Asshat isn't at home with a suspension or DFA.

Grandal played both games today, and even if he didn't, gets a pass due to his actions defending Tim and Human Decency yesterday.

Or they can just acquire their first solid 2B or RF for the very first time under this "multi-championship" window.

My bad, Hard to keep track of the myriad bought and paid for MLB media. Was thinking of Bob Nightengale when I posted this.

You people would be crying and clutching your pearls about Tim “using the race card” if Tim explicitly stated it was racist. Tony La Russa explicitly said it was racist. Liam said Donaldson’s whitesplaining explanation postgame was complete and utter bullshit. Disrespectful racist bullshit is the consensus opinion of the White Sox players and staff when commentating on Josh Donaldson’s statements and actions yesterday.

Sad statement by Jerry Reinsdorf’s & Rob Manfred’s shill. Hopefully he is not speaking on behalf of Jerry in this instance.

Have you ever been to Bridgeport? Evergreen Park? SoxTalk? There has always been a subcurrent of racism in both fanbases (Cubs and Sox). It's society, and many fans represent the lowest common denominator. One of my last trips to Comiskey in 2019 (was in the club seats), had to summon security to kick out/ shut up this drunken asshole who kept screaming n-word, dropping the r for "as" in a sky box, some "clever" take on rapping. They didn't kick him out, but they did watch the box the rest of the game, and he thankfully STFU the remaining two innings.

More Chelsea fans than Sox fans in this thread.

Additional usual suspects weigh in. Sad this Red Sox douche besmirches Lou Gehrig's name by using it as his handle?

The usual suspects, be it defending La Russa’s past comments and actions, the Atlanta Baseball team, Donaldson, Mike North, etc.

Brings to mind the John Rocker comments. His racist quotes at 2:20. Interview with Gammons starts 3:25 Rocker on calling teammate Randall Simon a Fat Monkey, and whitesplaining how Randall Simon is "not a black guy" and "clubhouse humor" at 5:35. Randall "Not a Black Guy" Simon Step aside Kings of Comedy, John Rocker and Josh Donaldson "In The Club-House".

Just imagine if you were an older (50s) white man, and have to be lumped in with this shit. Bottom line is Donaldson is and always has been an asshat POS, and sadly not surprised at his actions where were dumb beyond his racist trash talking because the Yankees were well on their way to beating the Sox and have had a great start to the season. This incident can light a spark for the Sox, and for Donaldson may create angst and disruption in his own clubhouse. Just a total assclown. Also, just saw the video and kudos to Yasmani Grandal for standing up to this piece of shit. Peace

MLB - Tolerant of racism since 1876

"Judge not, that ye be not judged." On that note, Happy Birthday shout out for American Acting Legend, Judge Reinhold!!

Stayed away during the Owner Lockout and Spring Training. Was Pee-Wee's Playhouse discussed here?

Wonder if they will put out a release before tonight's Charlotte game. Nothing currently on the website: https://www.milb.com/charlotte-knights Nice to see their stadium is a Safe Space Partner for Youth: https://www.milb.com/charlotte-knights/news/truist-field-home-of-the-charlotte-knights-officially-a-safe-place-partner

Monday is an off day, so they may go Minor League Callup/Bullpen for one of the games on Sunday. Will be interesting to see how the lineups are constructed, and whether Tony's preferences to punt game 2 go up against the unwritten rule of slating a strong lineup for the national telecast.

Was there some type of scandal disclosed? Pretty early in the season to pull a move like this without something unexpected occurring. Hell, it's 21 games less than Ricky got before being fired after his extension.

I thought Jerry Goldsmith's Soundtrack from Hoosier was the best compliment to the movie, really helped bring one back to the 1950s, and was the best complimentary piece. That said, the best scene / song pairing was Elias' death in Platoon, as backed by Adagio For Strings.
