https://www.google.com/amp/s/cubbiescrib.com/2022/08/24/cubs-now-boast-top-10-farm-system-baseball/amp/ its not really a post about that though. Despite similar records, Cubs fans, suddenly optimistic. Sox fans, looking to choke someone.

why the delay to Monday lol?

Cubs and Sox separated by 2 team in the end. But the north side feels the hope. South side feels the nope. https://www.tankathon.com/mlb

He didn't just start owing us. He's been owing us for decades. He assumes he is smarter than everyone else in baseball, and the fans he has owed forever. That doesn't change after a mistake. He'll rationalize.

Why not just Drake? That would be awesome ?

Permed Harold Baines Regular Vince Evans. He can teach these guys how to really throw a football.

Permed Ivan Calderon Edit: check that. Dead. But maybe he can match TLR anyways

Permed Doug Collins .

There are a lot of “Most White Sox thing (or things) ever”. That would be one of them.

Typical Chicago team scrub that is added to win a meaningless game or 2 at the tail end of the season to annoy tank fans

Probably not getting worse. You can play on it, have it removed, and play shortly after, or have it repaired and be out for awhile. Repaired by the way takes the most time, with the most upside as far as full athletic potential. I think the decisions become more dicey in the people that need to run during games. Pitrchers, not so much

Cubs and Sox only separated by 3 teams now. Crazy. https://www.tankathon.com/mlb

Well I just don’t see how a responsible organization can watch a team that basically coasted, and finally quit altogether without comprehensive changes. Not to mention a basic flawed roster as far as basic production in key areas.

Looking at the lineup, seems the Sox played 6 DHs today

Only this team could begin to hustle for the first time in this moment

I don’t want to insult anyone, but this team isn’t even trying. Investing time and money at the ballpark is worse, but it isn’t much less insulting to your pride to watch on TV. Unless the entertainment value is in self harm.

Cleveland might win 90. Respect

Kenny’s disdain for swimming in the big pond is self generated. Something he’s had to get over, and I don’t think he really has. The Machado offer was not something the Sox expected him to sign. Etc. His approach to the big fish on the market was illustrated on the Albert Puhols situation “If [owner Jerry Reinsdorf] gave me $30 million right now, I'm not going to spend it on one guy. Sorry, White Sox fans," Williams said, according to CSN. "But I tell you what, I'm going to take that $30 million and I'm going to distribute it around. My team is going to be better as a whole than it is with one player who might get hurt. Then you're done. Sorry, that's just me.”

After the Tatis debacle I finally had enough of the Sox and the (for me) boring floor approaches and over hill veterans. Quit following them until the Sale, Eaton and Quintana deals. I think these last couple of years were pretty entertaining with the young upside direction. I mean, too bad Rick and Jerry botched it ultimately. Im hoping they get back into the sandbox. If not Hahn, them somebody else. Kenny’s approach will probably send me away again. Interest in the Sox has been way up recently.

Kenny specializes in patching together teams that have floors but low upsides. If all people want to do is go to the ballpark, have a hotdog and get a slightly above average chance to see a regular season W, that’s good. Hahn stopped short, but shooting for younger high upside talent is way more interesting imo.

I get the sense that Hahn got permission to do A rebuild. This one, with young aquisitions. As opposed to normal MO. Not necessarily usher in a change in organizational philosophy going forward. He had pressure to win beginning last year and this year. As far as pressure to revamp the way the team does business, remains to he seen, but honestly, doubtful.

Getting Kenny out of the way in the draft was the biggest positive hurdle cleared

Kenny Williams the author of the idea that no single player is worth more than 10 million dollars a season?

I quibble with the word “tolerate”, as far a new rebuild, or do what is necessary to compete. With the starting pitching failure as well as some key “rebuild” guys like Moncada, not sure they have a choice unless they instead spent money to compensate for the problems that have cropped up. If they try to nibble around the edges of what they’re doing now, its not going to end well. So, compete, or do not. As Yoda would say.
