Bets on if Pujols gets to 700 this year before he’s done?

Lets see if you’re right on the first point Shane. I hope you’re wrong though and he finishes the year.

I’d be curious to hear about how you got Payton and Mantle and what you have of A Rod, Pujols, Ichiro, Trout and Judge.

The old cards you mention definitely retain value over time, especially if they are in decent shape. Cards that I grew up with from 1989-2005 are pretty much worthless because the market was flooded with them. I’ve got autographed baseballs, cards, pictures and bats from most Sox players that were with us from 1999-2004. I don’t know that I would collect a specific player unless I had some indication the value would hold like a James or Brady rookie card. Instead, I would invest in high end packs and hope for the best. A card local store owner opened up a box and one card he pulled was a Mac Jones 1/1 autograph card. He got $16K for it. The market seems to be gravitating towards good cards in high end brands, but getting HOF rookie cards is a good investment.

Good, I’m glad they got swept. Change is needed to compete with the rest oF the league. It only happens if Shane Riordan’s prophecy comes true, TLR moves up after the season OR they actually solve the holes in their roster. I disagree with starting another rebuild as some have suggested and instead think they need to retool.

Okay, how would congress or the private sector help these kids? It seems like there is the desire to do something about incentivizing those types of programs when it came to initiatives at community colleges, but there’s probably not agreement in congress to do anything significant about it.

The Tribune did. Column: If the Chicago White Sox don’t make that long-awaited run and qualify for the playoffs, no one should feel safe

Not to forget that they don’t hit home runs or get clutch hits like they did last year. Something is different and I can’t put my finger on it.

Seems like this team leaves on at least 9 every game.

Ball 4. Too many left on base. They suck. I guess we can just hope that they underachieve and changes are coming.

Remember the idiots who said Kopech would replace Rodon, that Rodon would get hurt and that the Sox didn’t need another starter?

He’s done his job for the most part. Fuck the guy next to him who made a face against the Astros and decided to shit the bed when he got here.

I turned the game on, saw the score, saw Lopez throw a wild pitch and then flipped back to watch election coverage. I’ve seen this story before. It doesn’t look like they are coming back.

The numbers don’t lie Tony. Snake oil salesmen do. It doesn’t take a Hall of Fame baseball person to figure that out.

It has to be a leg and not an arm injury if he’s out there pitching?

Bring ‘em up!

Let’s say it will, is the offseason going to be better than the last one? Could they IL Grandal and put Andrus or Anderson at DH and then call up some scrub to back up at catcher from AAA?

What would happen if Grandal ignored the sign and stayed at third?

Fire Tony, McEwing and Co.

Trade major league and minor league talent for starting pitchers in the offseason. Retool.

Shane Riordan is still wrong about his TLR prediction. That is all.

There’s a man who just spoke who I would rather see managing this team instead of the person hired around that time.

Say fuck.

Fire Tony. Enough of the walks with a favorable strike count.

We’ll see what they get and what actually makes sense. What other players are you referring to? Side note, would we be out of the inning if not for that shift?
