LOL. Sox kinda stink.

Easy 6-4-3 I'd suspect. He has two hits tho.

Nice hit by Sheets. Even if Sox lose, nice base hit. DP coming?

Sox need a new lift and pull hit coach. Salvy Perez had that perfect lift and pull swing. Two bombs enuf for the Royals tonight?

It's flat out embarrassing to lose to the Royals as often as the Sox do. Two home run balls are enough? Geez.

If Ohtani stayed healthy, wow. I really love him as a player/pitcher. So do we all, right? However, if I were the Angels, I would have asked for Colas, Rodriguez and Vera, plus, yes, Robert. If I were the Sox I'd replace Robert with Grandal, Kelly and Graveman. So Ohtani for Colas, Vera, Rodriguez, Grandal, Kelly and Graveman. Would u do that trade? Ohtani is pretty good.

Sorry lostfan. Condolences. Many moons ago I got the call that my close friend had been murdered in Wichita. The sadness is so indescribable. Years have passed but I never forget my friend and her fam and have stayed in touch with them thru the years. Peace to you lostfan. Rely on your friends and fam for support. Sorry for all involved here.

That lineup is not fear inducing. But if Sheets, Vaughn, Jose, Eloy, TA square up and mash, who knows?

I noticed when the Sox scored there was no celebration. Is there a chance they were respecting the A's catcher who looked like he was in the way? And wasn't the pitcher in the way? They didn't leave the scene right away did they?

And yes, the Sox HAD to win on Minnie Minoso Day. What an icon.

Nice reverse jinx by me and others regarding Sheets. I'm happy for him. Just cause a lot of us bury him doesn't mean we don't want him to blossom. That certainly was quite a bomb. Also Jose haters need to give him his due. That pick at first base was marvelous whether Jose haters want to admit it or not. 50-50. Just a couple games out. It's obvious this team blows, but in this horsecrap division is anything possible?

As expected, the All-Star break took all momentum away from this team. So dull.

Hope Sheets made good use of his 2 mill signing bonus as a second rounder. Looks like he's another guy not going to make it, at least with the Sox. Kind of sad. He looks so good in a uniform.

Anybody who knows baseball knows this is not a good baseball team. Anybody who knows baseball knows the Sox division is very weak. And finally anybody who knows baseball knows anything can happen. But your last sentence is 100 percent true.

Something is wrong with MLB. I will whine on and on, but it's just not entertaining. Could it return to the game I enjoyed? I doubt it. Pitchers apparently have morphed into physical beings incapable of pitching more than 5 2/3 and I used to very much enjoy a well orchestrated complete game or 8 inning masterpiece with ONE reliever mopping up. today's game is incapable of giving me that I guess cause of evolution of the arm (incapable of going deep in games). Also the shift is not annoying, it's laughable. ... As long as lefty hitters refuse to bunt when there's one guy standing on shortstop as the only guy capable of throwing out the hitter, I'll laugh my ass off rather than be entertained by his hitting a bullet to the right side for the easy out. ... No more stolen bases ... no more triples ... just strikeouts and walks and HRs (this year a bit diffrent cause of the dead ball). Baseball is horrendously dull. It makes no sense that I'm still watching. Whiners are not enjoyable to be around and I am a whiner about the pastime.

I've checked out mentally. I won't feel like an ingrate if the Sox 'somehow' get their act together and win. I still try to watch on mlb.com when I can but the fact Robert has been out again (sadly Eloy's next injury is about due) and the injuries keep happening coupled with very very boring games made me realize a while back this team blows. Baseball is a funny game (credit to Uecker) and that is the 'only' reason I consider a playoff spot possible. But believe me I've checked out. Sox are mediocre at best and a very very lousy baseball team. Not sure what's worst, the makeup of the roster or the way the guys hit and pitch. It doesn't take a smart baseball mind to see the team is built to lose. Prove me and others wrong, White Sox. We are fans and deserve to change our minds if you show some life. Up to now most people would say we are not out of line for hating on this wretched team.

Yeah I keep forgetting the job of football coach pays almost nothing. I wasn't aware he had a business. Man, that would be draining to run some business then head over to the high school for practice, monitor weights, then the games on Friday. Long days and nights I'd assume. He did a nice job IMO. Rice had good teams almost every year. I hope we don't turn into St. Laurence football. Just OK every once in a while.

What brought that on? Stupid cause they buy tickets? I might agree with that, but Sox fans are oh very smart, not stupid.

I wonder if Tony could take a month off to rest. Just see if Ozzie can do any better with this injured, wretched team. Then let Tony come back in a month after he's rested up.

Sox are being back to laughably bad. Glad those fans donated some hard earned dollars to the organization tonight. Cha ching. Fireworks will be fun tho.

Konerko is right. Sox fans are good. I do think booing is a dumb activity for a fan though. After what he did in 05, it takes a really ungrateful fan IMO to boo the same guy in 08 who gave so many people so much joy in 05. My gosh I can't imagine how much beer you'd have to drink in the park to boo a man who provided so much joy in 05. Yet I guess it happened. Sad.

I saw Tepera pitch today. He's got nothing left. Low velocity Meatballs.

"Your White Sox: Mediocre at Best."

Maybe going over .500 is what the doctor ordered for the White Sox. As much flak as TLR and the team takes, it's one hot streak away from being a normal contender, say 6-7 over .500. Can u imagine if the Sox actually got hot and got that record getting to where it should be?

Why was Jose mad? What did i miss?
