  1. I should ve made one but I knew they were going to do a montage and I'm a prima donna and wanted my swing version finger snapping Bobby Darin /Sinatra version to be given top billing.
  2. Engel. Leury and McCann doing big damage after the big bats were looking like K machines against that pitcher !
  3. 2 out crooked number inning !! Once again my adopted prospect !
  4. Of course its the players fault . He threw a terrible pitch but Keuchel was cruising. 2 hits no walks to a great lineup . Not sure if I'm right on the hits and walks but he shouldve been given a chance to get out of the inning.
  5. And the Ricky bullpen move backfires . AT least I got my displeasure with the move on record before the HR.
  6. Me neither lead is 5 runs, pitch count low holding a great lineup to basically nothing and use how many relievers last night 4 or 5 including Bummer.
  7. Yea i noticed that also but as u said SSS plus exhibition games. Now u get 2 or 3 innings getting multiple runs gets a better recipe for wins.
  8. Ha i mixed in English with Spanish so it's :back to back EE and EJ since Y is "and" en espanol. I know it looks like i tried to mix in the word bye but i wasn't.
  9. What's this checking in with Laila and Ozzie stuff ? Every time they do it so far which is 3 times, I don't hear anything .
  10. Thank you . I would have liked to see him running on some kind of hit and run and see if you could create a hole in the infield. Even a straight steal would've been good to give McCann a chance to knock in 2 when Twins probably don't risk throwing to 2nd. I don't think 1 run stands up all game.
  11. I don't get this tweet. First off he say not sourced so that means he didn't get the info from the Sox analytics department but goes on to say the Sox analytics department LIKELY does not believe Renteria's lineups are optimal. Why doesn't he just say he thinks the lineup isn't optimal instead of phrasing it the way he did and throwing in (not sourced ) and (my opinion) ?
  12. All the money went to White Sox charities. It's cool and probably a tax write off too. The end. No controversy here.
  13. 162 is definitely a relic and shortening it would definitely help ease the strain on players after that grind which wrecks a lot of pitchers for the following season. Lowering it to 100 though seems unlikely since then players salaries probably go down drastically. If they keep escalating it's always going to be the richest teams competing for the championship . Expanded playoffs in baseball keeps the mid and low budget teams theoretically in the hunt longer. Also a shorter season means baseball in November should become a thing of the past . We can still have the Fall classic if the season ends in late summer. All these high salaries along with a larger than ever divide between the classes just will keep pricing out people who can no longer afford to go to a game. Maybe baseball can survive without fans but I think that they would rather thrive than just survive. The problem is the players and the owners only want to get richer and that will ultimately be a huge problem . But I am always surprised that anyone really cares about how the playoffs are formulated for this year.All I give a shit about is that the Sox have a good team again and more teams in means more chances at a title. For a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 12 years and hasn't been to the playoffs 2 years in a row in it's long history, I'll take it, no matter how baseball cuts the pie.
  14. Luis Gonzalez has actually looked good so far. Very small sample size of course but 20 PA's ,550 OBP ,more walks (4) than K's (2) but is was an NRI so he wont make OD roster.
  15. I'm pretty sure Greg means when Ozzie gets revved up and with his accent it's hard to understand him all the time.
