Falstaff

Going forward I don't have confidence in Getz to turn this historic dumpster fire around. I will give him credit for signing Fedde, finding players at garage sale level is where this franchise is at.

I think Benny is going to get packaged with Crochet in a trade this offseason, Getz will get jack in return.

I have heard her name mentioned, she's got money, is a Sox fan, and loves Chicago

I would love to see the name get leaked out and give Sox fans hope.

Draft well, develop talent, make wise trades requires BAU money. I always enjoy Todd Welter's and his guest's on Locked on White Sox, Interesting comments by Sean Anderson around the 30:50 mark about possible new owner already in place.

All I want is Crochet to be 100% healthy going into the spring.

I have read Lip for a long time on numerous White Sox message boards. I would suggest anyone to read some of his interviews, I find them very entertaining.

I am with you on the youngsters but only if they are ready. Why doesn't he at least bring up some of the young pitching? Getz will give Vargas a long look because he traded for him.

How about Robert hits a walk off tonight to get the old juices going.

I have always enjoyed Stone and fully understand his angst having to watch this crap firsthand. If JR was paying me to watch, I would hire Scot Boras so I could at least get well compensated. I am on the Gordo train if Steve does pull the plug, Beckham YES !! I will not be buying the new tv package the Sox/Bulls/Hawks will be rolling out at the end of this year. In the spring if the Sox make legit changes to this squad I will reconsider.

I went back and edited my post from Thursday. I removed the part that I said it appears that Robert has checked out. To be fair I do not have clue what he is thinking. He is in a major slump, and it looks bad but he is an elite ballplayer.

I wouldn't be surprised if some posters could get in on an entry level position with an MLB team's Analytics Department. The White Sox could sure use some help in the analytics part of scouting.

That is good news, I hope they find a director that can produce talent.

We are stuck with Getz for a while or until JR sells. Positives: Bannister, pitching development. Weaknesses: Scouting, position player & batting development, International Free Agents. Any ideas how the Sox can to tap into the International market ? , Another Maggs or even Carlos Lee would be a nice find.

Good catch on Strasburg. The first 3 posts in the thread mention Rendon, Bryant, Baez, and Trout. Here is what is owed, excluding bonuses: Rendon: 2 years, $77.1 million. He is mostly likely physically done. Bryant: 4 years, $108 million. Good guy but just breaking down, he also might be physically done. I read now he has arthritis setting in, not good. Baez: 3 years, $73 million. Javy is the most physically able on this short list, he still a plus defender, solid ballplayer, but his bat has gone away. Trout: 6year, $222 million. In the last 5 years he has missed a ton of games. He is still a stud if he can stay on the diamond and not the trainer's room.

It is really a shame that the Sox cannot get maximum production out of Robert. A massive amount of talent, 5 tool, but this franchise is a joke top to bottom. Where is the hitting coach? Who is working with Robert? This is the franchise's 1 legit star position player. Just a meaningless rant on my part, nothing will change until a new owner comes in.

The Athletic had a story on Larry Sheets losing 21 in a row with the 1988 Orioles and now his son Gavin loses 21 in a row with the Sox. I hope the White Sox don't draft the grandson.

The brunette on the right is Alanna Rizzo, she is on the MLB Network, one of the shows she does is High Heat with Mike "Mad Dog" Russo. I am not familiar with the blonde on the left, but she knows her stuff. Alanna Rizzo is well informed and not just a talking head, she knows baseball and talks baseball all day. The fact that she can get a word in edge wise with Mad Dog Russo is an accomplishment by itself.

Pedro can take the Amtrak back to Chicago to pick up his belongings.

I will compliment Pedro on his very nice teeth. He made good use of his dental program while in Chicago. Me on the other hand, I have grinded my teeth down watching the bullpen implode.

As the perceptive Virgo Moon conjoins analytical Mercury at 1:19 am EDT, this might become an overwhelming flow of information. While Luna squares aggressive Mars, That's it, we win tonight!

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is considering Pedro for a hurricane name when the Sox break the all-time record.

The one's that do will be more informed. And just in case some of the local sports radio guys see this, Bernstein go #@!% yourself.

I am confident the Sox will have a better record in 2025 with 50 or so wins.

I am still interested in the call ups and the minor league development. Thank God for Future Sox, I love those guys. To try and keep some type of hope I thought about how bad Baltimore sank. They stunk and were stuck with a terrible owner, and they turned it around. JR isn't going to be around forever. My suggestion is to eat healthy and work out, so you outlive him.
