First Move
Any player who signs here is in it for the money, or because he can’t get a big league roster spot anywhere else (…which is basically to say, because of the money). Without any glimmer of hope for a brighter future like in 2018 or 2019, good luck.

Comparing 1970 to today...
Maybe the original (actual) Jake from State Farm. Hell - as an outsider (not in baseball at all), he’d be open to input from reputable sources, and not just JR’s “brain” “trust” (I feel like the two separate set of quotes is necessary here)

First Move
Not sure that 50% reduction would do much of anything at this point. Besides - the Sox get their attendance revenue subsidized by the state, so whether they draw 1,000 or 1,000,000, they don’t really care,

I hate that I love the Sox.

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
Pretty sure I saw somewhere that the A’s are playing good baseball. could be inflated because they played the Sox.

Sept 3 game thread Sox vs O's, Sox playing for Dirty Dozen 5:35 first pitch
Has it also been pointed out that it was an Eloy pop-up that somehow hurt the Sox, even after we traded him?

Nice to see the Sox finally getting some press that eluded them after winning a world series (checks notes) 20 years ago.

That, and it's his responsibility to call off the infielder. Gold Glover my ass.

100% on Beni there. That's veteran leadership there.

Ouch.

Fire Chris Getz
Other GMs have tried tanking (aka deliberately losing through intentionally BAD ML roster construction). Getz is managing to outdo all of them. Ever.

I hope this team wins a game soon so they have a legitimate shot at having four double-digit losing streaks in the same year.

Would be more fun than the game.

9/1 GT - Mets at Sox (1:10pm CT)
Has any team had three separate 10+ game losing streaks in one season in any sport?

Who is our ShortStop, right now?
You do understand the reference, though? Right?

9/1 GT - Mets at Sox (1:10pm CT)
These numbers need some sort of a theme at this point, no? What good food establishments are on (of just off of) 107th?

Iriarte up tomorrow
He does have a chance to be the best reliever on the team

Iriarte up tomorrow
He's just getting his feet wet. Sucks that he's diving head first

Iriarte up tomorrow
Pretty sure we'll have more pitchers used than team wins in 2024

What’s the record for most double-digit losing streaks in a year?

Who is our shortstop? I don’t give a darn.

Sox looking at building in South Loop
Let's talk about The 78 when we get to 78 wins in a season again. Hell, I'll settle for 35 wins.
