I got gas in the tank, money in the bank, but the memory isn't what it used to be.

Didn't Magglio go to Germany for some type of treatment for his knee? Too bad the Sox didn't resign Maggs, he played 7 more seasons with Detroit. In 2007 he came in 2nd in MVP with .363 .434 1.029

Caufield I'm impressed with the list, nice work.

“The 78” is alive and well for the Sox, Bears are 'advancing' Hammond development
I will take Justin Ishbia over George McCaskey and his brain trust in any business dealings.

I could see being a buyer for solid bullpen help. Would a team like the Giants be interested in trading a bullpen arm for a White Sox prospect?

Daniel Palka was fun, I wonder what he is up to?

There will be some tough roster decisions to make coming up. Looking at possible outfielders I think Antonacci, Benintendi, and Peters are locks with Venable, they are all lefthanded hitters. I know the fans would like Benny gone but right now I don't think that will happen. I didn't think a former Savanah Banana would be a roster lock either but he has earned it. Who do you think gets added and removed to the 26 once they come off the injury list?

Costas to call Sox game...
Cool, I always enjoyed Bob Costas.

And that's a White Sox Winner for for the SWEEP
Use it on Teel & Muni's knee/hamstring and Jerry's wallet.

My best friend's mom worked at a Travel Agency, during the winter Glenn Beckert worker there also. Players had to get jobs in the off season. It would not be unusual for players selling shoes at Thom McAn (not Al Bundy ) ) or working at a factory. Plus, baseball players back in the day never weight trained. They were told not to lift weights because it would make them muscle bound and restrict their flexibility. Mighty Mite I know you you know all this but any younger fan might not.

The Babe Ruth of Japan will take some time off and heal up. In the meantime, the Babe Ruth of AAA will bring his 19 homers and 1.004 OPS up north to lend a helping hand. Gonzalez can play all 4 infield positions and DH if needed. I hope he repeats what Colson Montgomery did last year when he was called up, RAKE!!! This isn't your Pedro Grifol White Sox

Jacob Gonzalez called up, per Passan
In the mid 1990's Cleveland was so stacked with position players that they had to move Brian Giles, Richie Sexson, Sean Casey, Jeromy Burnitz, and David Bell. I am probably omitting somebody, but that list had some big-time studs on it. Cleveland could rake, run and play great defense, but their Achilles heel was pitching.

This is a good problem to have.

David Sandlin - have we found yet another ace?
Does Boston have any interest in trading for Leasure?😁

LUIS ROBERT TRADED
Wikelman Gonzales might be next.

Cathartic is the word that comes to mind getting rid of those three. Trading Vaughn cleared space at first to go after Murakami. I was glad to see Getz trade Sosa and open up another spot on the 40 man roster. If Getz he could get the green light to move Benintendi I would cheer that move also. The Sox are on a roll with call ups making huge contributions, they aren't done yet.

Sandlin called up to start, Rock sent down to work on himself
I was hoping he could have been serviceable, maybe some rest or a move him to the pen can right the ship.

At what point do we start to believe?
6-2 against the AL Central 10-6 in 1 run games, Tied for 2nd in MLB for home runs with 72, 10th in MLB in OPS+ What made me smile this morning was David Haugh on the Score saying, " Waves of prospect call ups for the White Sox". "I'm a believer, not a trace of doubt in my mind." It's fun to think of all the positives so far this season, and the future looks bright.

Rikuu Nishida gets the call! Kelenic gets the boot
Rikuu has consistently put up outstanding obp at every level of his career. He could be a fun guy to watch get on base and cause havoc on the basepath.

At what point do we start to believe?
In the words of the Monkees, "I'm a believer, not a trace of doubt in my mind." The Sox future is on track to compete and succeed.

How Much More Suffering is Needed?
Acuna can at least be a pinch runner for now until he is launched. Hicks is too wild to pitch in any close game; he is a mop up man for blowouts.

The Yerminator was fun for a while until Tony LaRussa was a buzz kill.
