Why would NYM trade Alvarez, he's gotta be on pace to be their starting C pretty early in the year. They aren't going to roll Narvaez and Nido out there for long.

1. Sign Rick Hahn to a long term deal. 2. Announce TLR is fully healthy and ready to roll in the Spring. 3. Announce Jerry Reinsdorf has the cardiovascular system of a 30 year old and is lookin forward to several White Sox WS championships before he turns 100. This would be a perfect offseason imo because it would grant me license to stop caring about this sickly, broken organization and let me go root for the Guardians or something.

This game was a perfect microcosm of the season and the rot that pervades the whole organization. Just awful.

.240 slugging. That's really incredible.

Put Kopech on the 10 day IL and let Martin have one or two starts in there with the two off days.

Ceiling something like Edgar Martinez. Probably more like Matt Holliday. He's won me over for sure.

He was getting squeezed all night too.

Just one professional at bat would be nice.

Bad footwork from Ramirez there.

The last hitter for TB in the 7th had a 45% chance to reach base on a 1-2 count.

BUmmer pitched to 3 in the 6th. Even if he didn't once the inning is over the pitcher doesn't have to come back the following inning no matter how many he faced in the previous inning.

No

Starting pitchers: 13 innings 2 earned runs 5 hits 17 strikeouts 7 walks Small sample size and Tigers are meh but pretty encouraging.

Burger's swing seems really long so far this year. Obviously only two games but it seems longer than what I remember in his short time last year.

If the Sox get Manaea that means they could have Reylo, Velazquez and Keuchel (or Kopech) all in long relief to start the season. That is probably as good or better than most teams.

He's a babbling old drunk who should be in a nursing home.

Better meaning lower? I do better with the NFL in pricing free agents.

How much are guys like Marte going to cost? $25m over 2 years with an option? I'm assuming the Sox are not going to be in on the really big ticket guys.

Decline Kimbrel Decline Hernandez Sign Marte Sign Escobar Re-sign Tepera Sign one more BP arm QO to Rodon, which he likely declines. Tough to say what do with the rotation past Gio, Lynn, and Cease. Probably throw a one year contract old guy into the mix and hope for the best out of meh. Not sure what else to do unless you are comfortable trading away some nice young pieces.

More likely they are the 84 Milwaukee Bucks.

It was pretty funny when Cusack got booed mercilessly at Comiskey in 2008. This thing is pure Southside meatball though.

Bags of dicks.

I was a little kid at the time, what did he do?

I've been a fan for 40 years, but at some point I don't know how people can follow this franchise closely and consistently over time. It's extremely frustrating and often embarrassing. I didn't really watch intently from about 2012 to 2019. I got excited a bit last year with the young talent, got MLB, and was pleasantly surprised. Obviously this year has been fun, but ultimately the same old shit just more talent. That said I am complete sucker for the Bears, I get excited every year, and they are probably even more poorly run than the Sox.
