The teams aren't going to leave Missouri. If one of them was smart they'd build a new stadium by the racetrack in KCK. But they won't leave Missouri.

I just never would have thought I wouldn't care if we win or lose. I used to take losses so hard beford I got conditioned to losing. I mean only somebody whose sanity should be tested would care if we win or lose. Either way we've been to the point for some time now it matters not.

For some reason the team is still that historically bad team on the road; ok at home tho.

For some reason on Father's Day it made me sad thinking the Sox over the past couple years made it to where thousands of us now don't care if our favorite team wins or loses. In the spirit of sports, that's very sad. I mean out of all the Sox fathers and sons and daughters watching the game today on TV (albeit not many), none of them care if we win. Jerry you must be so proud of your team/franchise. What a crock Jerry. At least we have cool hats to give the kids.

Awful trade. Give me 10 years of Semien for a lotta W's.

Any St. Laurence grads in here. They won their first baseball state title today, beating Benet in the 3A finals in Joliet. I think it was 6-4. Brother Rice lost in the 4A semis on Friday. Is there a ton of baseball talent in the Mt. Greenwood, Oak Lawn area to fill both Br. Rice and St. Laurence's roster with baseball studs? Is baseball a huge sport on the south side now or has it always been that way. By the way let me know when Rice announces its new basketball coach. Stamos left. I read a good article in which I think he said he was expected to do too much stuff besides just coach. He said he wasn't ready to retire so I wonder what high school will get him. He's a good coach.

Think of all those years we coulda had Semien on our team. Another example of letting a star go in the name of tank.

Good job by the Sox trying stuff. Noda sounds dandy. Worth a shot.

They prove Greg's theory that you don't need to tank/rebuild. You acquire players the old fashioned way and keep them, not get rid of everybody because tanking/rebuilding was the way to do it for a couple years. Sox are destined to be like college sports. Total roster change every year or two.

Best wishes to Vaughn who obviously got ruined by our coaching. He had no chance in Chicago for whatever reason. Hope he finds lift and pull heaven with the Brewers. Why all the negativity toward Elko. Earlier in the year the fanboard was clamoring for him to come up to the bigs. He's only a 10th round pick but I thought he was the next Dave Kingman. Let's support Elko folks and not hate everybody.

Quero and Tauchman can hit the baseball. Both good pickups. Whoever got us Quero knows what he's doing especially.

Are we expecting a disco demolition type crowd in terms of size?

If this draws a big crowd it is a huge deal (will it?). As such you'd think the Pope would give the homily. Not that difficult to tape a 10-minute homily in Rome and play it on the scoreboard. Certainly the Pope knows about this Mass at his fave park.

He needs to lift and pull such pitches over the wall.

My gosh. Sox returned to normal form on road and just got slugged by Houston. Never a ballgame. Annihilation.

White Sox are on a roll tra la tra la. Winning baseball is back. Meidroth. Wow.

Yeah but a lot of our fans don't want to 'rush' anybody ever. Those fans have to be thrilled Tauchman is getting at bats.

Second round draft pick out of LSU is ready. Thanks to our loyal fans for attending a ton of home games so far this year. It appears the Sox front office has caught the fever. Fans applauding the team and shaking the Cell has to have heartened the guys who normally only get criticized by us fans (and rightly so). Your excitement in the stands has helped the Sox attain a good home record (oh so bad on the road tho). We're calling up young studs left and right in part because of all the positive vibes around 35th and Shields. True I am a hater of the tank/rebuild, but as a jaded fan I deserve the right to return to the bandwagon when I feel it's time. The Sox are rising baby. Keep bringing up young guys! And start winning some road games baby!

Out of sight out of mind. Get rid of the poor guy and let him be Sheets-like in his new home. Have mercy on him and let him go somewhere else. He's not going to contribute here. Trade him for a non prospect or two. Or release him. It's just money.

Tauchmann is way better than the other stiffs we've tried to play in that spot the last few seasons.

In the "what have you done for me lately?" department ... The Royals have clobbered the Sox in something like 18 of the last 20 meetings or whatever it is, winning series after series. Now because of one series that our Sox are destined to sweep the KC fans are all upset and want major changes including getting rid of the manager. Only way to shut up fans is to win every game. That's how it is and always will be. Look at the Knicks throwing a fit and firing a coach who actually made that woebegone franchise a winner.

Would have been interesting to hear Hawk call the last 3 seasons if Hawk hadn't lost his ability to call a fly ball a homer or easy out.

Agreed but with pitcher's arms falling off by the dozens each year, they've proven they are not worth the investment. Cole was great last year; now he's nothing for 15 months or more, maybe even done being effective forever. I'm sure college and high school coaches contribute to this. I mean they'll use their top two pitchers over and over and never take them out if it means winning at all costs. I think it's weird kids pitch complete games in high school and college, throw 170 pitches in college then in the pros it's 85 pitches and out.

Tavern pizza might be the best food you can ever eat except for a well cooked steak and baked potato or true Italian plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Tavern pizza and those squares are delish.

Didn't Petey Rose once say good hitters adjust their stance/approach all the time? If Robert did that, nice.
