The Sox rolled over and stunk against KC all season, so they owe it to the Guardians to continue to stink for Cleveland this series. Sox have gotten the Royals back on track 2-3 times already this season. They should be fair to Cleveland and get swept by the Guardians too.

Man, three years is a long time to stink. Almost an entire college career. ... Going from a little kid (10) to a teenager (13). ... For most people an entire tenure at their first real job. Woe.Is.Us.Sox.Fans.

True. You get a hit or a HR and it means something with KC, not with our team.

It was my way of always disapproving of his acquisition. Didn't need to be playing that guy over anybody young. I'd rush Montgomery. The Royals are in the playoffs cause of 1 1/2 players, Witt and Salvy. And here we think we have to tear it all down. Take your good players, baby, and pair 'em with a superstar or two (Robert, Eloy, Monte, Crochet). Coach up Robert and Eloy to be special since they were supposed to be special.

Yeah my initial excitement subsided when I saw his offensive stats are not good this season in almost 200 at bats. .215ish, one homer, 14 ribbies. It's amazing how few players the Sox have that would generate any happiness to a fan. Mabe Benintendi can teach him how to elevate. Benitendi hit a few homers this season after what, one or so the year before?

Ah Juan Pierre. I really used to blast him on this forum. I did not like him. Now? Juan Pierre would be fine on this team. One of the best players for sure.

Could he be the next Rowand?

I can't see why anybody with a name would want the Sox job when there's no plan to improve the team anytime soon.

Why is he leaving his current job if he's great? Just wondering. I don't follow baseball closely anymore.

There's been absolutely no mention of Chiefs and San Antonio up here.

Trades like this are weird cause as much as I despised Kopech, the Sox are gonna have to acquire some relievers again this offseason. If any are worth a bleep the Sox will have to either pay some good $$ in free agency or trade for some Kopech-like guys. Same with Crochet. They trade him, they'll need somebody capable of a clean 5 2/3 to acquire. That's why greg has always been against tanking and trading anybody with a pulse. Kopech blew chunks but he had a pulse. Now the Sox are gonna have to find some Kopeches and Roberts and Crochets when they deal them. Weird way to build a team. Anyway we can get Dombrosky to end his career here? Or somebody with a clue? How many years do the Sox wanna win 38-50 games? Geez.

I get a sneaky feeling this time the Sox won't win the quest for state tax dollars. When a team is this bad, the state has the clout. It's like "J.R. if you really want to move this wretched team, go ahead. The city will survive with one team in the increasingly boring MLB." I know it'd be a blow to the overall economy if the Sox leave but the timing of this isn't very good IMO. Why would JR put up significant dollars when he can get a sweetheart deal assuredly somewhere else like Tennessee.

I doubt Skip wants to manage a team with such a horrid pitching staff (without Crochet) and lineup in which your big guys are Andrew and Gavin (Robert is still maddening as he hits about .230 and still could be traded as part of the tank philosophy of acquiring prospects). I do respect Andrew for hanging in there. Now he's hitting again. Gavin seems to do OK when he decides to go oppo field.

Yikes. He was gawd awful, no other way to put it, in the Chicago pen this season. How are the other guys we traded doing? I think the Royals are happy with DeBong. I don't know how Pham is doing or if he plays much. Hows our guy Burger doing these days? Eloy?

Are Fletcher and Amaya the real deal? Is Fletcher the next grinder to play 10 seasons in the bigs? Nice dive. Nice hit. Sox quest to bag 40 wins seems possible maybe.

Does anybody really care about Caleb's individual stats? Bears win and 1-0 is good. It's actually a good scenario. He's got a lot to work on but is coming off a victory to do so.

What a dumb thing pitching Crochet 2 innings. Just shut him down already. He's not even doing well in this reduced capacity.

Where are NIU's home games?

I can see why coaches do that when they have a good running back, but I'd always roll out if I was gonna run on the final play of the OT. Not sure why many times they just run it up the gut. Oh well. Sounds like a thriller. Rice's schedule is too tough by the way.

Sounds like a thriller vs. Marist. Rice falls in OT. Aside from it being a great game 2023, what else can you say? Who had a good game? What do you think of the team's potential? I didn't watch it as I didn't want to pay 18 bucks for streaming.

The suburban White Sox fan wants to drive to the game, not take public transportation IMO. Parking is needed. Even the suburban fans who drive to Bears games can find parking at Soldier right? They ain't taking any train in from suburbia.

The parking issue is huge. People don't want to mess with public transportation after night games. They want to drive away and don't want to walk 2 miles to their vehicles.

Just watched highlights of the 'no-hitter.' What a joke. Three pitchers. Big deal. I saw the last out. At least the Cubs didn't mob the pitcher. He got a hard hug from the catcher and that was it. Baseball has taken away the no hitter. Repeat what a joke with modern baseball.

What's up with all these hits? Bats break out. Will O's get mad and rally? Or is this a rare win?

Yeah, I can't see the Sox ever leaving that area of 35th and Shields. Maybe they'll build another one at the site of old Comiskey only make it look like Camden Yards. Then the current stadium gets blasted for parking. Just do what they did last time again.
