Hopefully the first of many walks for Avi.

These announcers have had a fantastic inning. Anybody who needs to defend Stone/Benetti just tell somebody to watch this half inning. Stone is a great color man; Jason very good play by play.

Seriously how could any baseball fan not realize he's a great hitter in the making? The eye test is enough on Moncada for gosh sakes. His critics are being baseball stupid IMO.

That was a perfect guy to bunt obviously. I guess RR stuffs it in his critics faces there.

Superstar.

2-0. This pitcher blows.

I don't think we're gonna score.

That was a nice bunt. Sometimes (I guess) certain lighthitting hitters that know how to bunt (might) best be served bunting. Though I despise the bunt, even late in games.

Good slide. We kind of got lucky on the pitchout but Tim is fast.

I've always liked Hector even when he has lousy nights. Maybe it's wrong of me but I am a Hector supporter.

So what veterans do you want?? A pitcher or two? You certainly don't want any of our current vet hitters except maybe a Yolmer or somebody like that.

I'm saying you guys are going to say he sucks even if he hits .330 with 30 bombs next year leading into his new contract. You'll still all find the flaws. He's never going to be worth more than 10 mill a year to the majority of this board. So just sign him for 10-12 mill a year when the time comes for 4 years or so. Nobody's going to pay him more than that. he's too flawed according to the stat people even with the traditional numbers on his side.

I can't believe there are fans out there who don't care about intangibles in sports at all. Avi and Abreu are good examples for all the Spanish speaking ballplayers as well as the English speaking ballplayers. My feeling is some of you actually think we can win a pennant without any veterans. I guess some of you might want a veteran starter and think that's enough. My feeling is also you want to win WS titles with payrolls of about 70 million total. Why you guys feel this way amazes me. I could give a damn about Jerry Reinsdorf's wallet. I hope he pays money for ballplayers until it hurts. He doesn't care about my wallet; why should I care about his?

I'm sickened by this hate. Really. How bout let his contract run out, then try to sign him. If he's as horrid as many of you suggest we'll get him to a 3-year 27 million type contract. All you guys afraid of signing him are comical. If he sucks so badly, why the hell would anybody else offer him a huge deal?? Makes zero sense!! Avi/Abreu cornerstones of WS teams!!! You can go root for your mystery guys who will have flaws once they come up like almost all ballplayers do! Avi baby!

I can't wait to see which ballplayers you guys approve of getting a real multi year contract from the Sox someday. From my vantage point, it's Machado or Harper and that's it. You guys are good protectors of Jerry's wallet. Heaven forbid we pay Avi or Abreu someday. Do you guys act like this with the Bears or Blackhawks or Bulls as well or does the salary cap make you less contract stingy?

Palka turns 27 in October. He looks like the real deal. Why no threads about flipping him, yet?

You guys are so mean. Two years in a row now, whenever Avi does something good in a game thread somebody has to post something like "good, he'll be easier to trade now." Saddens me. Hail Avi!

Anybody who could lead this the White Sox to a WS title is worthy of a documentary. He had the city in the palm of his hand for a while. Then his ego got him to do some really stupid things and it was OVA for him.

So Russia did hack the election? Is this the start of Trump impeachment? Now that it's fact he should be impeached or resign immediately. This is appalling by the way. We should immediately enter into a cold war if not a real war with Russia over this. Someday they'll hack our nuclear weapons and turn them on our big cities and take over the USA that way. https://www.yahoo.com/news/rebuke-trump-key-senate-panel-endorses-finding-russia-attacked-2016-election-210143332.html

Are there any good documentaries on Ozzie? Many of you despised him. I saw him as fascinating.

Nobody ever could have imagined the Sox would struggle so badly after winning it all. Too bad in retrospect JR didn't sell and KW take the job in Hollywood right after winning it all.

I'm not anti women. I rather like McCain. I don't like panelists who scream over each other. And all except McCain on that show do that.

Love your posts Richie. Keep it up, sir.

I wonder why Chicago hated on him.

Does anybody here ever watch those witches on The View? I watch highlights on youtube sometimes of segments. Why don't they just call it "Hating on Trump?" Everything is political on there and it's all anti-Trump. They won't refer to Trump by his name. Whoopi calls him the guy in the White House. Joy Behar acts as if he is the devil. Poor Meghan McCain is the only Republican and Whoopi was screaming at her the other day. One of the View panelists I forget her name, she's an attorney, said she approved of kicking Republicans out of restaurants. She said we have the right to express our feelings that way. I'm guessing that Red Hen owner will go out of business soon. Hope her snobbishness/meanness was worth it to her.
