    We have had the chance to win the last two games against a playoff team, we dont completely suck but the offense sure does

    Still like the Sox to win 2 or 3 against the final opponent, which managed 4 runs in 4 games against the worst team in baseball and fortunate to salvage one game against the Sox in August.

    Stone already commented on Anderson trying to pull everything earlier. You can tell he's fed up watching this crap also

    Commenting on Ricky as well. Wonder the length of his contract signed this winter. Can't see him ever being truthful beyond Rick's level of the org chart.

    So many here treat baseball like football

    Nice, I am beyond tired of IPAs and Pale Ales.  I've been trying a lot of quads and Terrible is one of my old favorites.  I've been drinking micro brews for like 18 years now and while I still appreciate a good IPA as an everyday beer they just aren't that great.  Don't even get me started on the hazy IPA trend, which thankfully seems to be retreating.  If I wanted to drink orange juice that gets me buzzed I'd make a shitty screwdriver.

    Agreed, though I like WCIPAs (Pliny the Elder, Beachwood's Amalgamator and many others). I rarely seek NEIPAs unless they are balanced (M-43 is one example). I drink across most styles, but really need to bring home more Triples and Quads, among my personal favorites.

    Relatively new to craft by your standards. Tried Bourbon County a decade or so ago, but really didn't start drinking beer / craft beer until 2015. Was a whiskey/bourbon drinker for decades before hand, but now rarely touch it beyond an occasional share / clearing old bottles.

    Cheers and Go Sox!

    Honestly, I'm still not sure about that, but the good news is there's basically no chance I have to worry about seeing Rodon in a White Sox uniform next year so I'll just be happy about that.

    This is my point. If a regular appearance outing or two, and he does well in a role he has done but three times five years ago, and playoff appearances are limited to a 7-1 or 1-7 score, then it doesn’t matter. 

    However, if the FO/RR determine on the basis, an outing, the shortest sample size possible, Rodon is a meaningful bullpen option the following week, that is ridiculous.

    Try to salvage yet another top draft pick next Spring. In the meantime, use a veteran pitching well (0.2 WAR, 3.20 ERA)  over -0.2 9+ ERA no meaningful bullpen experience. It reeks of a necessary desperation.

    Remember that the "shit" here is a #3 overall pick who has had multiple stretches of dominance as a big league starter.  I'm as skeptical about Rodon's long term prospects as anybody, but there's ample reason to think he has the tools to be a valuable piece in the playoffs--certainly more reason than the likely roster alternatives.

    And Carson Fulmer was the genius pick the prior year. Fulmer has had the better season this year, 0.2 WAR vs. Rodon’s -0.3.

    Makes no sense to use him until next year, besides rehab. Of course if Rick Renteria uses him and he sucks, it will be the manager’s fault, because nothing is ever anyone else’s fault.

    You can preach all you like, but Carlos Rodon was placed on the active roster and someone was designated for assignment to make room for him.  It might hurt your feelings, but they didn't do that to NOT put him on the playoff roster, or to carry a dead roster spot.  They would have never put him on the active roster if the plan was to not use him in the playoffs.  Carlos Rodon WILL pitch in the playoffs.

    Nothing to do with “feelings”. this is the throw shit on the wall and hope something sticks that Sox fans have come to expect since 1980.

    If you are talking about Rodon, there is zero chance they cut someone else from the roster to not use him in the playoffs.  That doesn't even make any sense.

    Wrong. What makes no sense is putting a pitcher hurt all season, who has three relief appearances five years ago as his lone bullpen experience, to shove him out there because Hahn did absolutely nothing at the trade deadline, on the most meaningful games since the 2000s.

    Have to disagree with you on the third option (Rodon), he has appeared twice this entire season, as a starter, and shown nothing.

    I don’t care how many times he struck out Nicky Delmonico in Schaumburg, he serves no purpose in the playoffs, in a relief role.

    If this is just to give him one or two regular season appearances, I’m fine with it. We all saw what happens the past two days when you put a pitcher in a role and situation he has never faced before in meaningful ballgames.

    Can the son take over the Sox too?

    Perhaps the son doesn't want to be bothered. They're going to get rid of the Sox sooner or later.

    What paper wealth they do have clearly comes from the basketball side - especially after Balmer grossly overpaid for the Clippers.

    The Reinsdorfs will never get rid of their cash cow Bulls or the Sistine Chapel of the NBA.

    9.2 million to 3.2 billion ?

    And inherited Michael Jordan too boot ? 

    You'll never see that again in sports.

    Man, did they luck out.

    Promised post-Jordan era championships. 20 years later Bulls fans are still waiting despite being the most supportive fans in the NBA. Up until last year they were consistently in the top 3 in attendance.  Yet, they get rewarded with teams consistently in the bottom third in payroll. 

    That whining about having only 50 cents garbage wouldn't play well on the West Side.

    They have stated publicly for years (decades?) the family has no interest in controlling the White Sox once Jerry steps down or passes, beyond perhaps a small minority ownership. There will likely be a new ownership group for the White Sox, though some of the current minority owners may hang onto their shares. No transition plan has been made public.

    I like it, but as someone that remembers him playing in college, it’s crazy how old he looks now.

     

    Runs to hug perennial scumbag Rick Pitino at the 1:28 mark. Hope Dallas Keuchel comes up as big in the playoffs as Dallas Comegys (24 second mark) did his two games to start the Tourney at the Rosemont Horizon. Worked all the games as an Andy Frain, helped sneak a few friends in for the second game.

    OG One Shining Moment, Robert Montgomery Knight vs. Jim Boeheim for the title.

    2021 Free Agent Andrelton Simmons called it a season with five games to go, surprising  Joe Maddon.

    https://www.ocregister.com/2020/09/22/angels-surprised-as-andrelton-simmons-opts-out-of-playing-rest-of-season/

    The news came as a surprise within the organization. No player or coach on any team had opted out of the season since Cardinals coach Willie McGee on Aug. 14. The last player to opt out was Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman on Aug. 10. “Driving home last night, Billy (Eppler, the Angels’ general manager) called me, wanted to make sure I was holding onto the wheel properly, and told me the news,” Manager Joe Maddon said during his pregame Zoom session with reporters Tuesday.

    Wonder if anyone will bail during the MLB postseason. Boston's starting goalie did in the bubble, though he was facing a much longer stretch in the bubble without family.
