The Beast

Fine to leave the G Spot, but not fine to leave Chicago. The Nashville White Sox wouldn’t be the same, I’d be pissed like the A’s fans and probably couldn’t remain a fan without a Chicago connection. And I don’t see how the team gets contracted, they aren’t the Expos.

That is fair, but consider the remaining games. Should Sosa and Perez start every game or most games?

Tanking only gets so far in terms of the odds of the draft pick anyway. At some point you want to see the team win and members on future teams contribute in whatever role possible.

On one hand, some fans are bitching about a win. On the other hand, it was nice to see a win and some hits by Sosa, Moncada and Colas.

I’m aware of last night’s performance. Why throw him again tonight?

Could have a healthy Hendriks made a difference?

Hendriks would have saved that game. Shaw might have gotten the save tonight with how much Santos worked last night. This is the result I expected with how this team has underperformed all season. The ballgame was starting to look concerning for me when they didn’t get runs with the bases loaded and nobody out and Madrigal got the bomb. The quote from Robert about leaders in a Tribune article today is concerning. The Cubs seem to have it, how do the Sox get that from players? Who goes and more importantly who fits the bill? The season will come to and end and hopefully we will know more about the team’s and org’s future.

What it boils down to in an argument with Cubs fans is that in our lifetimes, each of us has only seen one World Series win. The difference is that the Sox went 11-1 in their postseason run, while the Cubs needed some luck.

Here’s an observation that I would need to back up with more long term data. The White Sox do a good job of finding players like Santos or Middleton for the bullpen but miss a lot of high priced arms. I’d have to think of other examples of guys who don’t make a ton and travel around a bit but perform well for the White Sox.

f*** the Cubs and some of their fans who happen to suck and be assholes! Nice pitching and Robert bomb to win a game the Cubs needed to have.

JR makes choices on pitchers’ contracts too.

I want to know if the reason they won’t do this is contractual and can’t get enough players to attend. Or if there is an issue with the price of the event that JR doesn’t want to pay and he doesn’t take in enough money. Or there isn’t enough fan interest. It doesn’t seem like not wanting to face the music is the only or main reason for not commuting to or doing the event.

Is Boone’s ejection better than this?

Fun to watch a guy who has had a long career come back from the minors come up to the majors and have some success even after being sent down.

He may have had a point with earlier calls but that one was in the zone. As a former umpire I’m glad that Diaz gave Boone s%*# back. That’s how I handled it when it came to arguments, especially when there was personal attacks. To your point, you can’t argue balls and strikes.

Contract the team? Unlikely, they aren’t the Expos. Moving the team when JR passes. More likely.

Since you’re the expert, why not write to Boyer and guess Hahn’s and Grifol’s addresses and tell them what to do? I’m sure they’ll listen to you.

Maybe they are coming in September… Okay. So write Hahn with your opinion and see what happens. Or maybe they’ll be September call ups.

They are still in the top 5 for the draft pick and might only be in the top 3. 4th worst wouldn’t be an awful position for pick selection or pick selection odds. Who would you rather see play than Grandal or Andrus?

Suck a bag of dicks Clase! Go White Sox!

TA has had a lousy year, but I can think of others who haven’t lived up to expectations either - Moncada and Grandal to name a few. I think Anderson could rebound next year and I wonder if people will change their tune then.

Many many moons ago, there used to be a thread called Mother Fucking b**** Ass Passionless White Sox. Maybe we need to create a new one and bump it.

Too bad Joe Kelly is a fucking b**** for walking in two runs against the Cubs.

Want to see a real baseball brawl?

Nice to have a pass rusher on a one year deal.
