And he deserved it. The endless mocking of Getz for not knowing that Acuna wasn’t a switch hitter has nothing to do with hoping Acuna turns into a good player. A GM should know the batting handedness of the player he is acquiring in a trade.

It happens every year. ST stats don’t matter. A guy could be hot as hell in ST and then go completely cold once the season starts. Also, guys who can’t hit a lick in ST can start the season hot as hell. It’s like 50 at bats.

The latest rumor is that Vince McMahon is looking to buy back the WWE from TKO with Saudi investors. Problem is I doubt he would get rid of his own son in law.

Why would Danhausen? Why would anyone? Are you serious? 🤣 It’s a stupid gimmick to try to get someone over cheaply. Triple H made it disappoint to the highest degree by using a guy that no one even knows or cares about. He literally got booed out of Chicago. Jericho’s original entrance into WWE was the whole Y2K gimmick with a countdown popping up over the weeks before he debuted. It’s really not that much different than a crate with a deadline to open and frequent reminders. It’s all about the build up and surprise reveal. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BcHpRK9HR/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Huh?!? I wholeheartedly agree with your first paragraph, but WTF on your second? Colson will be a 3B soon, with Cholowsky taking over SS eventually, which aligns perfectly with your plan to trade Vargas. If Acuna is a bust, perhaps they can convert Carlson to CF assuming he hits in the minors for a couple years.

After weeks of build up, Danhausen was in the crate. Apparently Jericho is still under contract with AEW after Tony Khan executed an injury clause in his contract. The crowed literally booed and had no idea who this bum was. They just introduced the guy for the first time and also effectively ended his WWE career at the same time. It was the worst crate reveal since The Gobbledy Gooker. Triple H should be fired. My guess is that his original plan was to have Jericho in the crate but he was duped by Tony Khan. I can’t imagine that Triple H thought this clown act would go over, unless he is worse than I thought. Awful. Vinnie Mac can’t come back soon enough. I feel sorry for anyone who actually pays for these awful PLEs.

The CM Punk / Chicago Bulls intro was pretty cool.

I wonder how many strikeouts he has.

Looking at his stats is painful.

Remember when the Sox acquired Ken Griffey Jr.? “General Soreness”

It can be both. Obviously he did a great job with 2005 but shitting on the greatest player in franchise history publicly because of his ego was an embarrassment.

Haha, I so remember this interview. “That man has tried my patience…” ”He better stay out of White Sox business!” Kenny was such a clown.

I think you are overestimating Lee’s value. Even if he is traded, it will be like a lottery ticket at most, cash considerations for Jerry, or a straight waiver claim.

I don’t think anyone worries about that one so much because it’s pretty much been universally accepted. 🫣

Any idea on how much of his walk rate is due to working on things, as opposed to him simply having poor control?

Agreed, and I love that Getz claimed Romo and that he passed through waivers. He could cushion the loss of Korey Lee. Never stop claiming/dealing. There’s always someone better than the last player on your 40-man.

No, I agree. Lee won’t return much. It’s just a shame to have to DFA a competent backup catcher. Will be interesting to see what happens with these guys — Lee, Kelenic, and Mead. I can’t imagine Sosa loses his spot unless he is traded.

An ironically annoying situation, considering they basically have two starting catchers and a quality backup catcher. I’d prefer to keep all three, but I’m not sure how they would juggle three catchers and the playing time/at bats for all of them. This could be the strongest stable of catchers the Sox have had in ages (including Drew Romo in the minors) and I would have to lose even Korey Lee.

Fucking epic… I love how he waited until Jerry greeted him in response to say it. 🤣

My son was given the Brother Rice “Andrew Weishar Trench Award” for top OL, leadership on and off the field, and good character. The award is named after Brother Rice alum Andrew Weishar who died at the age of 21 of cancer in 2012. https://weish4ever.org/about/meet-andrew All the players also received a framed state championship “newspaper” front page. The team gets their state championship rings on March 12th.

Light up a cigar as you hope for a second place finish, Jerry!
