  1. Want to add that I like Lopez and Kelly personally. Liked their acquisition and I’m sure they are good guys. But they bring back memories of Jamie Shields pitching batting practice in real games and the team keep accepting his assertion that “I’m a bulldog.” All of us Sox fans would have preferred we roll out a weasel or a ferret out to the mound after the first two games he pitched. I think we gave the Pads a guy named Tatis Jr for him. Any chance we get him back for Kelly/Lopez/ lifetime supply of Gino’s Deep Dish?
  2. Last night’s game crushed me. I looked it up and Lopez and Kelly have 11 losses and 11 blown holds / saves added together. That means (surely some overlap) that there’s been at least 10-15 games that they’ve entered with us leading or tied and they put the other team ahead. It matches what I’ve seen in games. I get anxious every time one of them pitches, no matter what our lead is. Would we not be around .500 without them? Aren’t the Twinkies around .500 and leading the division? Does the new manager deserve a pass on this? I remember he said he wasn’t into stats or cyber metrics but relies on his “gut.” Isn’t that like saying I’d rather ride a horse on the Dan Ryan than drive a car? What good is technology and progress if ignored? Anyone else in on this? How long do we let the guy do his cowboy routine and deny the 21st century?
  3. Hi guys I live in southern cal and see A LOT of White Sox gear being worn, mostly hats but also shirts, jerseys, etc, maybe even more than the local teams. Don’t know if they’re actually fans or just like the look. Does anyone know where we rank as far as merchandise revenue among MLB teams? How much of a cut of that does the team (ie Reinsdorf) get?

  5. Hey now Billy has NEVER dogged it running to first. I’m nearly delirious. What if Kopech goes back to throwing 105? What if Crochet comes back in a week or two with stuff more wicked than pre-TJ? Guys have done that before. What if Liam comes back before ReyLo gets a chance to blow any more saves? What if Moncada has an “on” year instead? Grandal actually hits above .230? Robert learns to either actually hit a slider or lay off of one? Eloy misses less than 30 games? The whole team learns to actually stretch properly? I choose to hope…
  6. Didn’t he pay Adam Dunn more than $42 M? Did he even hit .202? Didn’t he finish his first season at .190 or so? How many million per HR did we pay for him?
  7. Is Leury Garcia still available? Should I see the doctor if I yearn for his return even momentarily
  8. No manager in history could have overcome our bullpen thus far. They’ve coughed up a lead at least a dozen times. ReyLo is Matt Thornton 2.0 - 96 mph but straight as an arrow and basically an amusement park batting cage pitching machine cranked up high. If we suck this year I’d like to see him set the all time BS record. Then they MIGHT be willing to actually spend some real money on the pen
  9. Does anyone know if we have anyone in Charlotte that might be able to hit major league pitching? Especially infielders? Romy and Lenyn: They’ve got cool names and I’m sure they are nice guys, but they can’t hit MLB pitching right now. And Elvis looks like he forgot how. I’m hopeful we turn it around but we’re going to need a few more MLB caliber players than what we’ve got right now. If Jerry Jr can pay Zach Levine $50 M a year to miss the playoffs, why can’t he pay a Shohei $60 or even a Trea Turner $40?
