Boy the Sox stink. Should be a fireable offense just to have a losing record vs. the Royals. All those rookies, was it six of nine in the lineup, beat the Sox Wednesday. Only hope is this sadsack team somehow wins the division and then feels so little pressure it finds itself. Odds of that are very slim.

That's awful story of travel. Nowadays when u fly somewhere you almost have to pack for two extra days minimum cause of the delays/cancellations. The airlines are a complete mess.

Gladly I was wrong. Sox split the DH. Can u imagine the Royals being .500 vs. the Sox this season with the payrolls so different? Sox should be ashamed at how badly they traditionally play vs. the Central. It's a team effort: players, coaches, manager, advance scouts, scouts.

Let him play. Sox actually need what he potentially can bring at the plate. Can't afford to have an instant out taking TA's projected at bats. If Sosa is a natural born hitter at age 22 Sox may have a spark. Worst that can happen is his BA is Grandal-like.

I used to get so mad when Sox tanked vs. the Royals. Now not a hint of emotion. I mean I can be dumb but I'm not that dumb. This team has more holes than a golf course.

Sports aren't life and death. As bad as the team is and as frustrating it is to follow them, it's a break from all things going on in America and in the world that could get me banned if I mention them. So what if we don't completely give up on the team. It's OK to monitor your favorite team since childhood and see what the final tally of this season's ineptitude will be in terms of Ws and Ls. In other words don't feel sorry for us. We are not dumb in terms of thinking they'll make the playoffs, we just like sports.

Just play whatever young guys we have. Team has been toast a long time and this solidifies team's status as lousy. Best wishes to TA. Injuries suck.

Sorry to have to predict this: Sox lose two today. Sox do not beat Central teams on a regular basis. Game One to be one of the smallest crowds in KCR history I predict. If they actually count the fans maybe 1000 in the ballpark I predict.

Has TA always been lazy? That's disappointing. Maybe he knows the team blows and it's a natural reax to loaf on routine plays, in terms of running hard, etc.

He knows this team doesn't have what it takes.

That was what we expected to happen, Dunning mowing down the Sox. This ballclub continues to stink.

I would never sign a pitcher to a long term deal anymore. Starters that go past five are becoming extinct. In 2-3 years there will be two inning limits basically with relievers going the entire game. Four relievers two innings each plus the closer. No pitcher will be worth unlimited millions of dollars. Pitchers are gonna be like second basemen, a dime a dozen. Just my take. Also pitchers are gonna continue to get hurt, which is part of the reason they'll all be two-inning wonders. Good luck to hitters facing those fresh arms coming at em with guns blazing (fastballs to go with the out pitch in the dirt) the entire game. As far as everyday hitters, a GM has rocks for brains if ever giving out a deal that spans more than 3 seasons. Signing a guy for 8-10 years is just stupid in this day and age.

I guess those of us who value pitching and defense should be elated with this win.

Good job by Liam. He and Cease are by far the Sox two best players IMO.

Sox usually have pretty decent closers. It's the other relievers who traditionally stink.

This would be a nice Liam save.

I would think so. I don't even want to think about it.

Sox trying to hang on in a game they once again hit horrendously. Yasmani seems like a very bad baseball hitter to me. Is anybody high on him still? Poor Moncada also appears hopeless. Six hits is another anemic night.

Sox would be well served to have a roster plan in the future. If you want to stockpile DHs and 1Bmen, you are the White Sox front office. There has to be a way to get some guys who can play outfield as well as hit a bit. Also in this day and age of lift and pull they better start teaching these guys in the minors how to lift and pull. You can't win when u lead the league in errors and frankly probably have a lot more since official scorers usually call things hits.

The Sox swing at that crap in the dirt. Ninth inning was so ridiculous.

Those last three outs were certainly grotesque. Kind of sad really. Hitters had no chance and seemed deflated (I know, unprovable subjective opinion by an angry fan here). Hitting coach must be proud of those at bats (sarcasm).

Madrigal is like a lot of White Sox ... he gets hurt a lot. I think he may be a bust, too.

OM gosh. Three of the worst at bats of the season there. Hyperbole. I don't think so but I"m upset, so maybe. I don't know if Tony is OK or not still but why the hell does he want to manage the rest of this season? Tony ... go enjoy some hobbies and let somebody else try to win with this flawed team. Please Tony!

I thought it was against the new rules to pitch into the eighth. Of course his pitch count is under 100 so they are still obeying the new rules.

Five hits to this point is laughable. Your .500 White Sox. Acceptable one night; horsebleep the next. And always ready to lose the first game or two of a series.
