I like it. He and Pham are old but will be a nice 1-2 punch. It's like the South Side Hit Men being reincarnated. Gamble, Zisk, Spencer ... now Eloy, Pham, Walsh. Bring it on baby.

True, but Oz seems like the guy who could be talked into managing this rotten team without too much convincing. He might want a little too much $$ however. Now that I think of it he'd prolly want too much dough. But I think if Jerry asked him he'd do it (says a guy with no knowledge of the Sox inner workings). Just my take.

This should get more scrutiny. You think he reads the message boards? It's not like fans go on Twitter to vent about a team nobody cares about: the Sox. I would guess the good talk radio guys in Chicago just mock the team at this point. So who are these haters? It's appalling a new play by play guy would blast the fanbase after a sweep of a bad team, the Rays. He should apologize. We haters have a reason to be upset at the club.

The Royals let Witt do his thing last year despite a horrific team/lineup. I say play anybody close to ready rather than Maldy and DeJong and other various stiffs on the club.

Plus we only got five hits if you take out two from one of our only big leaguers on the roster, Tommy Boy! Phamtastic Pham. Pham, Crochet, Eloy, Robert, Moncada, Mendick and Kopech (if he had a good pitching coach) are the only players who'd make another team's roster. Lee might be close.

I don't feel sorry for Pedro at all. His decision to sit Pham in the first game of a homestand against a team we'd just lost four in a row to and not put out there our best lineup lost me forever. Just fire the guy. Geez. Jerry can afford to pay Ozzie for the rest of the season and pay off Grifol.

Look folks. You pitch six guys in a game you are not gonna win that game. Sox bullpen is sub-par. Only got seven hits and two by Sir Tommy Pham. Say what you want about Greg. I told u all our great skipper took away all momentum in benching him Game One which we probably would have won had Pham played. I know Minnie owns the Sox in good times and bad, but cmon. 0-7 against a mediocre team? The Twins have won 10 in a row? Big deal. Seven against the Sox. I know Jerry is cheap but cmon. At least get rid of Pedro and name Ozzie interim. Sure it'll cost a couple hundred thousand or several hundred thousand to pay off Pedro and give Ozzie some money for taking over this wretched team. They still can hire somebody else for next year in case there are still Ozzie haters lingering. But cmon? 0-7 vs Minnie and 1-6 vs. KC is dumb. Goodbye Pedro.

Man, 55 wins is optimistic. Sox would have to win more than six games per month to accomplish that feat.

I think he's 7 hits in 77 at bats. Obviously he's pulling a Hosmer. Only solution, retirement. Like the Astro guy said he still has the bat speed. He's just like Vaughn though. A mess at the plate.

This one really made me mad because it was as if a 3-game win streak in Pedro's mind had turned the Sox into an actual team. We need to win 19 in a row to even creep into contention. So he sits the guy responsible for the turnaround 3 games in. What a joke. I now am firmly in the fire Pedro corner. Disgusting decision to sit the new guy for rest purposes.

Forgive me but I'm very upset. Grifol is a stooge. My gosh. So you go 3-0 with Pham and it's obvious Pham and Mendick are two guys who actually are worthy of a spot on the big league roster. So he rests Pham cause he had no spring training. Are you serious Grifol??? Your team has a chance to start winning some games and go from historically bad to just bad and you REST PHAM?? After three fricking games? That's what they said on the radio. He was rested tonight cause he had no spring training, You'd think Grifol would want to ride the hot bat and win a fourth in a row against a Minnie team that embarrased the Sox in Minnie. Instead they bench Pham and let him pinch hit once. This resting of players in the big leagues is a fricking joke. Thanks Pedro. You are a buffoon. I bet he was so proud of himself making sure to rest Pham after three games. Just resign. Three games and he's tired??? Gawd I'm angry.

Twins are not a good team. Sox should continue their recent sizz tonight. My suggestion: Bet.The.House.

Yeah but it seems to me some of these peeps on here are hoping the Sox trade anybody and everybody off this year's team who other teams might 'want.' If the Sox do so, we're not just talking a team that can't compete but again, a ridiculous 50-win type team. I mean is that what you want? 50 wins two years in a row or more? This is crazy IMO. At some point you can't tank every year in hopes young prospects we have and are to draft will lead us to greatness. At some point 50 wins is a total crime against MLB.

Not to be a contrarian, but if the goal is to trade anybody with an MLB pulse at the deadline for prospects who are not near ready, won't next year's team on paper be just as miserable or worse than this year's squad? I mean if they trade any pitcher who is meh or better and Eloy (and Moncada) if Eloy keeps hitting, won't next year's team draw even fewer fans and interest than this year's? Oh well as you all know I don't value anybody on our current roster except Crochet, Clevinger, Kopech, Eloy (maybe), Robert and Pham and Mendick. Getting rid of all of them will leave the Sox mired in this disgusting swamp they are in now.

No, it's embarrassing. These are the big leagues. The Sox have six wins. You don't scream this south side stand up when the team is this bad. It's minor league, that's all. I didn't like him calling out the 'haters' after Saturday's win either. Anybody have a copy of today's final out call? I don't watch games anymore so I need to find his yelling on the highlights.

Nice post. I enjoyed it.

Nice to see them let Fedde go 108 pitches. When you pitch 3-5 relievers in a game it certainly hurts the White Sox.

It's not that difficult. Add some guys who belong on a big league field and you'll win a few games even if the team is horsebleep. Before Pham and Mendick and the recent moves we had zero reason to be interested. Now it appears we're getting close to being just one of many bad teams in the league not historically bad.

Cmon. We have more than a right to be 'haters.' Even though the Sox have woken up with Pham and Mendick and a decent starter who is on his way soon, the roster construction is beyond bad. He should be reprimanded for calling true fans haters. I mean, cmon. We haters still want the team to win. We are just appalled at this historically bad team. He must apologize.

This proves when you make a change that's significant it helps any kind of team initially. Pham and Mendick's presence has vitalized the team. It's similar to if they had axed Pedro we prolly woulda seen the same jolt of energy in the club. Sox will come down to earth soon nuff, but will Pham's presence assure Sox of only losing 100 or so games instead of something wild like 120? Pham is definitely the man. That was a nice swing by Beni on the game-winning HR. He did the lift and pull uppercut. If he does that more and more, he'll hit his share of HRs still this season.

Pham is pham-tastic. I got all sorts of banner ideas for little kids if they dare go to see this fairly pathetic team at G-Rate Field. As hi8is said: Pham Bam Thank You Ma'am Pham no flash in Pan Pham is Da Man Hot Damn His Name is Pham Pham Can.

I don't wanna watch the interview as it'll just make me mad. Same with Howard Stern's interview with a certain celeb today. Don't need to get all upset. It is what it is. At least Sox signed Pham and called up Mendick. Both can hit .250 and knock in a few runs and/or score a few runs I bet. Our new starting pitcher will be here soon as well. That's 3 players better than anybody else we got (maybe Eloy is the real deal and there's a chance Vaughn could heat up with the weather.

Wow. Well I will say in a week we have improved our club with Pham and Mendick. Both suddenly seem as important to the Sox as Ruth and Gehrig to the Yanks bak in the day. Folks I am confident we can win about 40 games this season with an offense that may get a little better. Still not out of the 30s yet but 40 wins is possible. Pham baby. Like I said Wham, slam, thank you Pham!

This is the Richie Zisk (pitch at risk to Rich Zisk) signing revisited. Sox are gonna start mashing with Wham Bam Pham! Marketing should go nuts. There's now a reason to come out to the park once every six days: to see Pham and Crochet. Wins are comin' just wait n see."

Amen. MLB is a disgrace allowing this to happen. The Sox should be fined a LOT of money. This even affects MLB on the whole. Sox have completely turned Minnie's season around. They allowed KC to get off to a decent start. Maybe MLB wants/needs patsies to save other teams' seasons. I'm trying to learn more about the Cubs daily. They do have several players with a lot of RBIs and have major leaguers on their team. I assume they are selling out every game again and/or will be soon.
