The big cover-up involving the police, the mayor, and the mayor’s teacher friend. All Jerry had to do was play stupid.

Jerry obviously has an All-Star organization from top to bottom. Just don’t bring a sign in he doesn’t like.

Baez has been even worse than Benintendi and looks to be declining in each of the past three seasons. He’s also turning 32 this winter. He’s only going to get worse. 2022: .671 OPS 2023: .592 OPS 2024: .497 OPS I don’t think there’s a team in baseball that would trade for Baez, unless Detroit included one of their top prospects in the deal.

No, and here’s why… Benintendi: 25:$16.5M, 26:$16.5M, 27:$14.5M Baez: 25:$25M, 26:$24M, 27:$24M

The Sox apparently helped to improve the Royals front office by stealing away all of their losers.

Very nice. But am I crazy to be surprised that no one has done this since 1901? Seems like it would have happened more than once in that amount of time.

Agreed. Benintendi at 13 homers right now is amazing after how he started the season. If he can get up to a .270 AVG and .750 OPS, he will at least be playable and perhaps even tradable. If the Sox ever acquire a better defensive LF, they can move Benintendi to DH.

Haha, read the comments. The sign guy says he was polite and the security guard still called him a jagoff.

Great observation by some posters in the game thread, and Stone went so far as to address it. LOL…

I know it wasn’t during a broadcast, but Stone basically said the team sucked in his tweet albeit in the nicest way possible.

It will be more of the same. Getz will be dumpster diving again, and likely failing at it just like last offseason.

Yes. Kopech had 5.2 scoreless innings pitched with 8 strikeouts and only 1 hit and 1 BB allowed before he was traded to the Dodgers.

“Jake Burger went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and three runs scored in a win over the Padres on Sunday. Burger now has 22 home runs and 53 RBI on the season and has been on a tear since July 1st, clubbing 14 home runs and driving in 24 runs in 33 games. He’s also 16-for-44 (.363) with seven home runs in just 11 games in August. He needs to be rostered in all leagues while his bat is this hot.” He has completely improved his season numbers after slumping hard to start the season. .251 AVG .768 OPS 22 HR 53 RBI

It also didn’t stop Stone and Schriffen from talking up these bums all season. But now there’s hope because they will be gone?

“Michael Kopech fired 1 1/3 scoreless innings on Saturday against the Pirates. Kopech has looked re-energized since arriving in Los Angeles at last month’s trade deadline, reeling off five consecutive scoreless appearances in his Dodgers debut. He’s struck out eight batters and allowed just one baserunner over 5 1/3 nearly-flawless frames so far. The 28-year-old righty is probably in the mix for high-leverage opportunities with the Dodgers until further notice.”

They had both guys for several years and they didn’t do much. The problem was that neither could stay healthy. If you don’t play, you don’t help a team. You are just bloated salary on a low payroll team.

If you think that’s what he was going for, I disagree. And I’m sure he would’ve mentioned Eloy, who is Dominican, had he not been traded.

Well, Eloy was traded.

Watch it again for yourself. Good thing Getz accomplished his offseason goal of improving the defense! Oops… https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2024/2024-08/10/6c175e61-16f4a2ac-0ff5ff9d-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_16000K.mp4

Who cares what happens to Moncada at this point? I doubt he has another plate appearance for the White Sox. He will no longer be the Sox problem once they inevitably give him his ridiculous $5 million dollar buyout, but it will be worth it to never have to discuss his sorry bust ass again.

It’s obvious that this loser doesn’t even want to play. He wants to sit at home and collect a check. Fucking bum…

Trading for Fletcher over McCarthy IS the main point. It is a specific example that shows that Getz’s scouting and player evaluation failed massively.

There was just a double homicide / suicide in Woodridge, IL tonight. My two sons live not too far from there. Like I said, this crazy stuff can happen anywhere at any time. Murderers are insane. If they don’t have a gun, they will use a knife or explosives or something else to kill people. That’s why they are insane.

.812 OPS for Jake McCarthy. Epic fail for Getz and Barfield. Losers…

Now on pace for a 38-124 record. I absolutely love that Scrooge Reinsdorf is going to own the single season worst record. Enjoy the history books, you old cheap bastard!
