They need somebody to tell them they are still very well paid (in terms of the rest of society) and this rebuild isn't going to work if guys do not pretend we are a contender and actually play hard and concentrate every day. This team contrary to popular opinion quits A LOT when the going gets tough, the starting pitchers aren't listening to Coop obviously, the fielders and hitters and baserunners have MANY mental lapses. WAKE UP BOYS. You won't be progressing if you continue to not earn your paychecks by giving full concentration and focus daily.

True. I despise Trump cause I think evidence is clear he's a selfish narcissist but the media attacks on him daily are hilarious. Like I said the other day I checked CNN on holiday weekend and the top 3 stories were all blasts of Trump and the local rag had a national column saying Trump has ruined holidays and morals of US citizens. They ain't praising Trump.

If you held this discussion with baseball people they'd laugh us out of the room. The Sox have no pitchers on the current roster worth a flip via trade right now. Yes I include Lopez and Gio. And Nate.

His numbers project to be an all star catcher. He looks like a catcher. We'd finally have a decent hitting catcher who can throw.

First sub 50 win team in Sox history? 48-49 wins max.

The draft is one, big lol crapshoot.

So you are telling me we are going through all this losing to get a reward of a 5-foot-7 shortstop? Yes draftniks (not you, Jose) tell me again why losing is so beneficial when we are gonna take a ? mark in a 5-7 baseball player?

I've been thinking more about Barr and greg is close to going on a rant. Who the hell do these actors think they are??? How in the hell can anybody tweet that crap who has a No. 1 hit show? Is she insane? What she is is entitled celebrity. I mean my gosh, she deserves all the scorn she's getting. The only excuse for this is she thinks she's so powerful she can issue some racist rants on Twitter and simply say she's a comedian. I mean comedy is fine, but she thinks she is above everybody else to think she was gonna get away with those tweets. Improper Barr, improper!!!

Yes. Rock I generally love your posts but how offensive can you be? See nobody cares if they offend Christians or believers might be the better word. We are just Christians, believers. We believe in God who is the magic man in the sky. He doesn't exist. Nobody with a brain would think he exists. Well ... a lot of people think He exists in the form of the Trinity. By the way I noticed some publications don't capitalize God anymore. It's cause they scoff and refuse to acknowledge the possibility of God. How do you know there's no God? Are you the one person with proof? Joy said the Veep had mental illness cause he heard voices. Hmmmm ... fireable offense considering a lot of people believe in God? No, cause nobody cares if they offend us believers. Shame on Rock for purposely offending greg here. p.s. If I tell you God has spoken to me would u all want me committed? Would you want me jailed? Hidden from your family members? I will not confirm this has happened on this board but answer the question please.

I fully expect him to get dealt. Hahn wants more top prospects for the popular rebuild. Keep the momentum going as far as bringing in young newbie talent.

I still say all this losing can affect stud hitters with talent. Cause "what does it matter?" Rate Moncada when we get good, folks. You guys who want to lose have to accept the fact pathetic losing can affect certain hitters different ways.

Hmm we have 16 wins after two months keeping my sub-50 win season right on pace. Worst team I've ever seen is this one. And yes, we've been just what the doctor ordered AGAIN for the Indians. Excuse time: Injuries, Lopez needs time, be patient, etc. Maybe Hawk can tell us Ricky's boys don't quit. (Cue the excuses).

Caulfield, why not just say you want greg's take on this? Anyhow, yes, Behar should have been suspended for ridiculing Pence for saying it's mental illness that Jesus talks to Pence. I mean when asked about it, Pence double downed and said his faith is the most important thing to him. The fact she was not fired or suspended shows that her superiors probably also do not believe in God speaking to us. We shall see when we die. There is no proof of God. Maher and the rest can mock believers all they want but nobody knows for sure and won't know until they die. But yes Behar should have been fired. As far as taking the show off the air, no need for that. If you dislike Joy Behar as I do, you don't watch the View. I wouldn't ever watch it. I would, however, click on a youtube highlight or two if the headline is something like "McCain owns Joy Behar" or "Walters blasts Behar." As far as Barr ... never thought she was funny. What she did in San Diego was despicable years ago. The team lets her sing and she embarrasses the team like that and puts the Padre organization at risk. Horrible. And what she said on Twitter? Her defense was she was on sleeping pills? Geez, sorry Barr. You are accountable for your terrible words. Chelsea showed some class; I'll give her that. I must admit my disdain for chelsea is turning into respect as she never seems to respond to attacks with venom. Chelsea is becoming OK in my eyes. Though I am a former republican I love Ventura, Bill Clinton (not his wife Hillary), Jimmy Carter.

She really is unfunny. Sad lady.

You guys are making a big mistake in becoming obsessed with greg. I have said many times before I am not evil. I am a fan. A big fan who a.) loves the Sox. b.) does not like Sox management or ownership and what they have done (except for the WS title, applause, applause) and c.) wants the White Sox to win every game, every single game they can. So don't be obsessed. There is no problem with me. I just want to win.

I never thought I'd see a thread wondering if other teams want to trade for White Sox relievers, one of the worst set of relievers in team history. I mean c'mon, folks. there's a reason the Sox have the putrid record they do.

I love how the Sox the past several years of suck always cure the ills of teams that hope to contend in the Central. Earlier this year Minnie woke up after playing the horrid Sox. Now Cleveland figures to turn its season around by beating us up.

Palka might be fine against lefties. Tonight's blast was vs a lefty.

Palka has five home runs. He's only 26 years old. He looks perfect for this day and age of lift and pull. Sox might have to make a decision on which one of these guys will be DH of the future. Palka? Davidson? Avi? Abreu? Palka appears to have a clue.

I can't even understand Barr's ramblings. Kudos to ABC for killing the show. You can't go spouting untruths especially ones so divisive/nasty/classless/repugnant.

I don't know why folks are sweating his day to day battles, good and/or bad. He's doing fine and he's going to be a great hitter if he's not one already. A lot of you disagree, but it's probably not easy to be focused when you play for a team this bad. Mentally you'd think he and all Sox have given away a lot of at bats since the team has been blown out so much. He's a good hitter. Why sweat it?

I don't know why my post was so bad in response to this one which was pretty bad. ... He said: "He was drafted in the 7th round in 2010. He wasn't even a productive minor league hitter. When guys stink in the minors, stink in the majors and then have a very good 21 games, you can imagine why the majority of us believe it's an anomaly. For the record, a 28 year old who has consistently stunk isn't "old" by any standards, but it typically is for a player to turn his entire career around." I can buy he had back injuries and I can buy he's not a star or anything. I was just saying I thought he looked like a good, serviceable .300ish hitter that first stint with the Sox. I liked the mustachioed man.

if u stink u are worthless.

Soxfan49 used the word "stink" a few times to refer to Saladino.

Great post regarding his age. I like it.
