Honestly, without Wrigley Field, that “lovable losers” stuff don’t fly.

she didn’t start it did she? The fans were doing first? I always heard it was Chet Lemon’s song. No idea. Maybe I’m wrong, but she definitely takes credit for it.

Sunlight is cleansing

All I would say on his window, is that if he really is this all star type prospect, there’s not much more time to show it. If he’s just a guy Major League roster dude, then sure, he’s got a couple more years.

animal abuse analogies. 🫥 Sorry. I will now see my own over-sensitive bleeding heart way out of the thread…. PS: go .280 Sox!

OTOH, there’s more reason to believe it than not.

I mean, as far as I know, the things people worried about when he was drafted are mostly the things he has trouble with. Perhaps it’s the flawed player and not always the “developmental programs”

We took some good swings for a minute .

So, this is how it ends.

Every time a publication had him on one of those dang top prospects lists, was always a case of “Are you guys sure?” for me.

He can try to get back to who he was allegedly trying to be anyway.

If the White Sox need 2 more years to make decisions, the problem is (still) much bigger than Colson

If I didn’t have this horse s%*#, I would be but an empty shell.

Get used to trailing, or comebacks to win?

If JR would give up baseball power and simply take a back seat to the majority ownership, he wouldn’t be able to take credit for a baseball resurrection. Either way it went with the baseball he won’t be having the opportunity to take any credit for a position outcome. But that’s how strong his craving for approval really is. He would rather take all this blame and anger at him in the present for a false chance at getting credit for wins in the future

Maybe you’re telling yourself that Crochet and Cease formed the core of a pitching staff to win with and build a team around. And that goes with Robert as well. But you’re ignoring the money and incompetence if you’re doing that.

I am a youth movement guy by default. But these are generalities. It depends who is running the youth movement. Either way you prefer to build, it doesn’t matter if the architects are Moe Larry and Curly. People like to claim there is an actual smarter way to go one way or another. But there isn’t.

There’s no reason Ben Johnson cannot be a dual threat in Chicago.

It is 4/19/25, and we still have the stamina to post these threads.

This thread’s creation reminds me of scenarios in college late on a Friday night off campus party. Not being a smooth operator, almost everyone is gone, and my target(s) all told me in so many words..no. But I was still bound and determined to hit on what was left. My roommate usually, thankfully pulled me out of there if he was around. Rinse and repeated. Some people on Soxtalk remind me of me.

Not as bad as we thought. Worse.

Pro gaslighting

Damn, what happened to our good swings?

Nobody has been panic buying Sox for awhile now. We keep thinking Getz isn’t getting enough vale selling low, but that assumes there is some significant rehabbed vale in the future for Sox players. Maybe the reality is that there is only marginal rehabbed value out there to be had.

Oh, so you’re taking stewardship of the quality of baseball off the table as a source of pride. No doubt you’re probably right in that case. But we are talking past each other
