South Side Hit Men

For all you youngsters out there, Ray Rayner was the morning cartoon show host on WGN in the 1970s and 1980s. He would provide White Sox and Cubs highlights at one point in his show, and flip his half White Sox half Cubs hat / helmet (he is wearing the dual hat in the video) to present the respective highlight. This was pre-meatball/meathead days, when you could have a favorite home team, but not hate the team across town. I'll be rooting for the White Sox and Cubs the next three days, hope most of you can join me. Go White Sox, beat the Piranhas! Go Cubs, beat the Injuns!

Stone with Laurence Holmes on the Score now.

If you bring up Collins, for either of these two garbage acquisitions, you can rotate Grandal (95% playing time), Abreu (95% playing time) and McCann (60% playing time), eliminating the need to play Parrot. The Sox play Engel more, or even Dyson, in place of Mazara.

Give him protection for the first time since he replaced Anderson at the top. TA, YM, YG, JA, EJ, LR, JM, Bad NM/AE, Good NM

I lost all respect for Robin Ventura on August 4, 1993 23 years later, Robin played Beta Boi to a 14 year old, Drake Laroche. Robin had to call Kenny to the clubhouse to restore order.

They need to bring up Vaughn and/or Collins tomorrow, and settle on a final lineup of capable players. This isn't a reaction to one game, it is a reaction to almost 50 games. Giolito / Dunning Starters: SS Anderson; 3B Moncada; 1B Grandal; DH Abreu; LF Jimenez; CF Robert; C McCann; RF Mazara / Engel; 2B Madrigal Keuchel / Cease / #5 Starters: Same except C Grandal; 1B Abreu; DH McCann or someone else. Mazara should only start against RHP, and be pulled after 2-3 ABs for Engel (first LH Reliever and or 7th in a close game for defense). Eloy should not be playing LF period in the 9th during any close lead (3 or less runs).

It's just the fact that Eloy is one of the worst regular LFers in ML history, so anyone is an upgrade except maybe Parrot.

After further review, Eloy is still not a major league outfielder.

Yes piranha b****es!!!! Anderson MVP.

Yes!!!!!!!!! Thank you Ricky, now play him from now on.

Thank you, listening to the radio and they didn’t mention it.

Not sure how Robert is hitting at all this year. Outside of replacing Anderson while he was out, he has ZERO protection with Mazara behind him.

Doug left for what happened when he dated the Chairman’s daughter. Wouldn’t mind seeing Hahn pursue his daughter.

If I’m the twins I just put Eloy on here intentionally.

Wonder how much pressure Hahn is exerting to play this crap he brought in. As long as this exposes these two and the “smartest man in the room” doesn’t sign them, or anything like them again, hopefully it will be a lesson learned.

I was just making the most ridiculous alternative to the ridiculous continued daily insertion of these two. Actually, I’m pinning for the days of Nicky Delmanico, he did SOMETHING this year.

Would rather have Dyson (RF) and Yolmer (DH) playing at this point for Mazara and Parrot.

Machado doesnt get to that. Shut it down Evan!

Poor signings, Dallas the only one I like.

EE makes me want to Linda Blair Exorcist puke. Eaton and Dunn the only others Sox I’ve hated, but they did t matter, as the team sucked regardless of their shitty performance .

Way to close the door. All in all good outing by Cease, 1 R in 4 2/3 the best Sox can expect at this point.

Jake Cave would make for a good Bond villain.

Don’t Stop Believing!

Another call for a pinch hitter here.
