Rounding_Third

Yes, exceptional for those 2 rookies to play this well this early, especially Teel.

Wow! So much hatred for a team that has played some decent ball for a nice stretch.

You must be joking right? Your attention span is limited so I'll repeat .500 since the all star break before this losing streak. Geesh!

This losing streak & batting slump is unfortunate but had made to .500 prior to it. If that doesn't mean anything to you or you can't see the improvement or envision a fairly competitive batting order for next year, led by a pretty impressive manager & staff; you & I are clearing seeing two different teams.

Crochet was getting traded, bad teams trade talent for prospects, baseball 101, get over it! His performance is a non-factor in this discussion. It's what Getz got in return that's important. The 2 positional players are both very solid to exceptional & Gonzalez thru 19 innings has been a very good bullpen piece. Braden has a very real chance of playing next year. How can you not say Chase is a possible "guy" as much as Teel? His BB acumen is 10 years older than he is. He & Teel exact same mold. Baseball trades are so iffy and Getz got back some outstanding potential. Compare it the Sale trade!

What's our record since the all star break? You're right, the Crochet trade was a bust, what was I thinking!

No S***! How is it since the all star break? How is the Crochet trade working out?

Yeah boy was I ever wrong about the Getz hiring as I fiercely criticized it! This turnaround has been so fast and nearly all under his guidance. His decisions and hirings have all been outstanding! Geesh, that Crochet trade alone! Wow! Kudos Monsieur Getz!

"Chris is rebuilding the foundation of our baseball operations department, with key personnel changes already happening in player development" Yeah, JR/Chris, who was that bum in charge of player development? What happened to him?

Agreed! I've been a Sox fan longer than most alive and have never experienced this kind of disgusting & diabolical operation of a sports entity. I'm not even aware that its ever existed to this magnitude. The only similar experience was the Arthur & Bill Wirtz Blackhawks. This is much, much worse as is Reinsdorf though they were all chiseled from the same heartless mold. Their only true love is greedy & miserly wealth.

The hope for a White Sox comeback begins 5 years after JR has passed and Getz is fired. Until both things happen, the Sox will NEVER see .500. And even that's no guarantee. Go Bears! Go Hawks!

There's a Spider in my Sox!

I know. I was really thinking hard about laying down a lot more but I just couldn't do it. I knew they'd trade Cease and be sellers at deadline to ensure a really bad 2nd half. Oh well.

Remember when Grifool said they'd trade offense for solid defense? How about 5th worse fielding% in all of MLB? Better than 4th worse, I guess. Laid $1100 in Feb on under 63.5 wins. Easiest & safest grand I ever made.

But he could throw 110mph on a football field...next stop HOF!
