Been reading about the rain in Chicago, 9 inch deluge in some parts. Best wishes to you all living there. My ?: I used to sell Jet Dry waterproofing for basements. Did any of you have severe flooding? Any stories of entire homes on the south side or suburbia being totally destroyed? Just wondering if any had horror stories or rescue stories from such a deluge. Best wishes to u all who were affected. I know as a kid on 103rd St and Trumbull area many families were concerned when the clouds opened. Peace to all affected. Will insurance pay for most all damage repair?

We all know the Sox are one of the worst stories in baseball this year. Utterly depressing team. My ?: Is Connor Bedard the real deal? Is he destined to bring championship hockey to Chicago and soon? Is he worth the hype? Are u excited about him? Should all Hawks fans be expecting a return to greatness? Optimism in the midst of lousy baseball?

I know I anger some with my love for Oz and desire for him to be manager again, but have any of you seen his takes lately on Sox issues? I was doing a twitter search for ozzie guillen and got a lot of clips from the pregame and postgame shows. He was hilarious blasting Lance Lynn for ripping the Angels player for bunting. He said Lynn 'looked like a 105 year old man' trying to field the bunt, lol. ... Oz said he'd go 3-for-4 vs. Lynn when he was a player cause he'd bunt. ... He also commented on running for mayor in some suburb and was hilarious about being the only Latin family there and needing more Latin folks to move there and vote for him. ... Also he wanted TA down in the order. He's not afraid of insulting pedro and yet he's not ruthless about it. Refreshing. I see no harm in making him interim for the rest of the season. If it gets dicey again fire him back to the postgame show.

How did we almost get swept by a miserable team that had no fans in the stands? Oh my our Sox stink.

I consider Moncada an official bust. I'd deal him as soon as Sox can get 3 guys for him. Cmon. Some team will think they can fix him. Deal him soon.

Jake prolly should have given his hitting coach a break and not brought this up. But I don't consider it a big deal, just a "cute" story crediting the wife. If you have no sense of humor at all it makes the hitting coach look bad tho.

I bet there are thousands of seats up there sat in maybe 4-5 games a season: 2 Cub games; Yankee, Bosox. Prolly vacant 95 percent of the time.

Deep Thoughts ... back when I watched snl. I finally gave up this season; haven't watched one episode. Too political for me and non funny. Hmmm I finally gave up on SNL after debating it. Total divorce. Sox better watch it. Fans may totally divorce themselves soon from this franchise.

Jerry and the investors were in love with then Royals Stadium, Kauffman Stadium. The top deck in KC is too steep. Sox wanted a simple park like Royals Stadium and built one. It was an atrocity with wrong colored seats, blue, my gawd and that horrendous top deck like Kauffman. If the Sox actually had a good organization and a bright future (looks like it'll be 10 years before team hits .500 if they ever figure out modern baseball; not sure they ever will) they would build a palace in suburbia. Chicago is dead. Get it out by Arlington, go in with the Bears, get it done. Only hope for a new Sox Park would be if the Bears combine forces.

Good post about nostalgia. Thing is when we finally do give up we'll never come back. Sox fandom is engrained in many of us. Mine is leaving though. for instance this is the first year in forever I haven't had a favorite player and/or manager. Prior to this is was Abreu, Konerko, Thomas, Oz, etc. Now I have only neutral to negative feelings about each of the guys. Not one player I truly enjoy. Robert and Burger are close to being likeable for me tho.

I guess his approach caught up with him. Don't know how he's gonna make it swinging at every pitch. When he connects though, BOOM. Not sure what u can do. I'm assuming none of these all or nothing hitters can be coached. They have their swing angle down pat and it's either a homer or K. Of course if u swing at every pitch 80 to 90 percent of the time it's K. I'd say he's destined to fail cause pitchers prolly have stopped throwing him anything close to a strike that he can punish.

Best fan I've ever witnessed is elrockinMT. i know it's just a game but the Sox sometimes make it difficult for some of us fans to enjoy or even tolerate them.

Yoan bothers me as a fan. Something missing IMO. He is a pretty darn good fielder though. But highly highly expendable. I'd get rid of him as the first piece to go before the all star break if anybody wants him. Ship him to the Cubs, get Madrigal back and 2 pitching prospects. Or send him to the Braves for prospects. Or Yankees or Mets.

Law of averages when u swing at every pitch. And i am a Burger fan saying this. He's prolly my fave player in a Sox era where I have no real favorite on this team.

Tough loss. Kinda embarrassing. Please fire Pedro for Oz. Just as interim. Won't cost Jerry a ton of $$.

Bless u. I can only take so much. Now will i watch the recap later? Sure. The highlight thing on mlb.com. But I can't take watching Timmy and Elvis make outs and Cease throw a zillion pitches. But I do want a victory. It just would take a good chunk of $ for me to watch today.

Just passing through. Why would anybody of sound mind and body watch this game? I wouldn't watch this game if you gave me 20 dollars. i might watch it if you gave me 100. I'd probably watch it for a minimum of 100.

Good hustle by Robert. He tried.

Beni hits right into the shift. Sox disinterested tonight.

At least Remy tries to do things to help the team.

No offense to Elvis but there's no need for him to be on this team. Get rid of him pls and his .199.

This has been a pathetic game so far. Typical Sox. Up, down, seemingly comfy at 10 under .500.

Let's just play home run Derby, Lance. You hate the bunt? I hate the fact you pitchers can't go more than six anymore. I hate the facts there are absolutely no meaningful stats in baseball anymore. BA is dead stat. Everybody hits 25 or more homers unless the ball is dead that year. Everybody uppercuts and shoots for the fences. Keep striking guys out, Lance. Some of us are not impressed by your Ks. Big deal.

Remy is pretty good. Seems to play the game the right way. Nice win. Keep it up, Sox.

Nice win. Did Oz's comments rankle anybody? He called out their will to win and BOOM. Lotta runs.
