And the hair dye.

Missing Moncada D tonight.

???

Chicago Keystone Cop Sux

It has been a major embarrassment tonight. It is a minor league game. The pop up falling between Carlos and Leury is AA ball at best. The Reese trade has proven to be a failure.

Leury is the only position player this year that I can recall that plays the first game after being called back.

Sheets has been our best hitter these last couple of weeks.

That’s TLR ball. Always contrarian and illogical.

It’s true but still you need to be around the plate and not nibble so much with a three run lead. You can’t afford to issue walks with that lead. There is no defense against walks. Perez poor performance as catcher has also been bad.

Now on top of all our defensive and offensive woes, now our pitching has been failing, particularly the last two games. Getting progressively worse as we close out the season.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Awful game. It was so bad that the Sox should have given a refund to those Sox fans in attendance.

Incompetence from the top down throughout the organization.

This season has proven that JR, the FO and TLR don’t give a crap about the fans feelings. They are all lawyers that probably never took a marketing course, and never learnt that the customer is always right is a good motto to keep your business growing and happy.

Mendick getting hurt has hurt the Sox more than we thought. We got an overdose of Leury, Big Energy, now Andrus. TA injury compounded the problem.

At least Romy has gotten a couple of balls into the air deep. Still warning track power.

There is no outfield defense for homers. If we would have been hitting more homers, we take all these nice outfielders out of the equation. But with our ground ball offense and warning track power we put opponents outfielders in play.

The sad part was that it was a 0-2 pitch to a rookie batting below the Mendoza line. With no one on base. Hendriks had 4 chances to strike him out and threw him a hittable cookie strike. Bury a slider in the dirt or blow him out with heat just out of the zone. I don’t know who called for the breaking pitch but it was a bad blunder. Hendriks does not hang fastballs, but does hang curves and sliders.

Opponents outfield defense have been killing us all season, while our own outfield defense has not put the hurt on anyone.

That is why is hard for the Sox-to come back in games like tonight. Earl Weaver would not have been happy with this team.

One common denominator in Chicago pro sports lately has been bad GM/FO, starting with Bears drafting Trubitsky, Bowman bad trades with Hawks and firing coach Q, and Hahn bad trades and inaction to begin with.

And in the third best homer friendly park in MLB. It is been Ground ball City team. Hard to hit homers with ground balls.

And the Blackhawks looking terrible for this season trading our three best young players including De Brincat.

A sudden rain storm dumping 6 inches and flooding the field. Not going to happen though.

Presume you are including TLR as part of this team.
