Finally hit the offspeed crap. Nice.

Move the runner McCann.

Cause Matt is fun for greg to watch

The plan will be to flip guys again at the break. Any effective veteran relievers as well as Alonso and Jay and McCann if anybody wants them. I'd guess if we really stink they might trade Abreu. That's my guess. Maybe even trade Palka? If we gel and are in the race, I guess they'll just enjoy that and keep everybody.

The biggest thing I hate about this case was Smollett insisting after he got off with no jail time that the attack occurred and he's not told any fibs at all. It's embarrassing to the City of Chicago when he does something like that. If he just shut up and didn't act like he's been vindicated I'd be better with him getting off. You get away with something, just shut up and move on, don't rub Chicago's face in it. No harm no foul so I don't even think Jussie needs to go to jail over this case. I do wish his pocketbook would get hit and hit hard, though.

Fathom is right about defense. He's totally right. Our front office knew Eloy wasn't dandy defensively so you just can't have Palka out there in rf with Eloy in lf. It'll be one of the worst defensive outfields in a long time (unless of course we want to lose one more year, tanking). I still like our pitching staff and bullpen. Don't like our 2B option or cf option right now. And catcher is disgracefully bad. Oh well, Eloy and Moncada are hitting.

I assume you are against Jussie paying back the city of Chicago for wasted resources. I contend if you or I did this, we'd probably be locked in the slammer and they'd throw away the key so to speak. Jussie should be so grateful for no jail time he should pay up. You know, as much as people think I'm despicable on here, I am FOR THE CITY OF CHICAGO in almost all my posts, cept for the high taxes forcing some peeps to leave. I love Chicago and Chicago got played (allegedly). p.s. Like the police chief said, I'm all for this playing itself out in the courts. If Jussie was attacked, let's throw the attackers in jail. If not, pay up, Jussie.

Has it been mentioned Tatis/Shields trade may ultimately be deemed the worst in Chicago baseball history? Currently it's Broglio/Lou Brock.

Rodon actually looked great, albeit he got tired/lit up in the sixth. I can see why Rick let him try the sixth. Unless we go to openers, a starter should be able to go six consistently. Wish he woulda sucked it up and got thru the sixth. Our pen did look pedestrian in Game One. I'll stick with my 88 wins and a winning record after 30 though greg is concerned about 2B. I get mad about certain things and it's stuck in my head that we coulda had Yoan at 2B and Davidson at third with Davidson not blocking anybody and I think that's a much more effective lineup than our current 2B/3B combo. I think we moved Yoan a year too early.

I don't want to hear about age concerns after signing Jay and Alonso and McCann. That really makes no sense.

Seriously, second basemen are supposed to be a dime a dozen. Nothing against our starter, but cmon, it'd be nice to have a second baseman who is league average or better in offense and defense.

He was very good through five though. Let's hope he can extend a bit deeper in the future. I enoyed watching him pitch thru five.

Why would the Sox move? It's not like it's the fans fault for this current malaise/attendance drop. If Jerry and the partners sell the team, I hope baseball demands Chicago keep its two teams. Once the higher ups in baseball start favoring a move, then it's a different story. They've always been OK to good with Chicago having 2 teams. Again, just cause we suck currently doesn't mean we have to move. It's 2 guys' decision to rebuild through the tank method, KW and Hahn. Nobody else in the city is to blame if we have bad attendance. It's their decision that could have easily been to rebuild in a different way. I can't see the Sox moving. There are too many other options once the lease evaporates. You think this team wouldn't draw 30,000 to 35,000 in say, Naperville or Schaumberg (if the traffic patterns worked)? Or in a downtown-ish locale?

I've decided to leave so maybe we'll score! Bless you White Sox fans. It's baseball season so it's time to raise a cheer in recognition of baseball! Goodbye and GO SOX!

Hey last year at this time Matty was raking. I checked the roster and I don't think he made the MLB roster of Texas.

I need to go do something moderately important but I want to see if we can score a run. Decisions, decisions. ...

I will forever approach baseball in two segments now cause it's really two different games. The first six innings is Game One; the next 3 is entirely separate entity. We were OK in game one today. In Game Two we have looked below par.

I watched the replay of Mondesi's first triple. Man we got the ball in slow and executed that poorly. Eloy just buried that last throw but a.) ball mita been wet. b.) he mighta just buried one. Whatever.

At least the rebuild has calmed me down. I used to get very mad when we lost to KC. Unfortunately if greg is now apathetic think about the casual fan, how little interest they probably have. There is a chance we get to KC's bullpen today.

We should keep a list of the pitchers we tip our caps to this year. Keller has to be done for the day, so he's No. 1.

We should hit Keller this inning. It's the seventh for gosh sakes. Time to hit.

Fathom has a great baseball mind IMO. Could he be smartest baseball mind on board? It's worth pondering. Fathom is a god IMO.

Oops, I just thought this. They better not hit Eloy. Benches.Might.Clear.

Hi folks, Do you love the kinder gentler Greg? I didn't have TV service the last 2.5 months and got it fixed today just for the Sox game. Thanks to instant replay we are down, 1-0. Great, now that we hit Gordon by accident the rest of the series could be beanball war thanks to baseball's unwritten rules.

I feel like Coop is the key. With a bad pitching coach, our staff could be one of the worst imaginable. But I think Coop can take the arms of our starters and all those bullpen arms and develop the best staff in the AL Central. Our defense in the outfield may be a problem. If so I'd get Palka out of right and sacrifice some pop for defense out there even if we have to play Jay in center and Engle in right or verse visa. Our infield defense should be OK to good. I predicted 88 wins and will stand by it cause of pitching and our all-star candidates (Eloy, Tim, Abreu, Moncada).
