South Side Fireworks Man

Best thing I've seen this whole game.

Oh for crappin' out loud!

Tony should hook these players up with some PEDs. Maybe all his old connections retired or passed away.

He's special.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw him at the plate.

I think Tony is the reason Robert is becoming lazy. This organization doesn't develop players they ruin them.

Can we please get some outfielders on this roster?

Maybe if they played him at his natural 1B plus DH he would hold up better. He shouldn't be in the OF anyway.

Maybe that's why I like him. He just goes about his business. Also, I sympathize with the way he was rushed up to the big leagues and put at an unfamiliar position and yet has managed to produce (even though he's currently in a slump). He's handled everything well for being such a young player.

Yeah, he's been in a slump.

I'd add Josh and Vaughn to the likeable list.

There aren't very many likeable players on this team.

Anytime Tim wants to pull his head out of his ass is fine with me.

Oh great, Tim! Ugh!

Well that worked out!

I was just thinking back when they were talking about contracting the Twins, what if instead they contracted the White Sox franchise, then moved the Twins team to Chicago and renamed them the White Sox. Kind of a repeat of history. The Twins organization combined with the budget they would have from playing in major market Chicago with the favorable stadium lease would have probably made them a perennial legit contender. Sigh, what might have been.

Agree with this 100%.

Maybe, but it wouldn't surprise me if one of Anderson, Vaughn, Robert, Eloy, or Moncada gets injured again by the end of the game.

I'm about at the point of play him in LF every day and let Vaughn and Abreu split time at 1B/DH. If he produces that's great. If he hurts himself again, who cares anymore.

But they put him in at 2B last night. And he did PH the other night. So why were they even putting him in if it got worse? I guess it's possible it got worse overnight but I doubt it. Looks more like he's been hurt for three weeks but they decided to keep him around until Eloy was ready instead of bringing up someone else in the meantime.

True, but Jake needs to be playing. He needs ABs and he needs to improve his defense playing 3B. He's not going to improve by sitting on the bench. And if the reason he's on the IL is because he really needs the time off for the hand to heal, then he should have been put on the IL three weeks ago and someone brought up who is healthy enough to contribute rather than playing one man short.

Point is that if his bruised hand is enough to put him on the IL today, then it was enough to put him on the IL three weeks ago. The Sox have been doing shit like this all season long.

Burger put on the 10 day IL for a bone bruise in his right hand - a bruise he sustained THREE WEEKS AGO when he was hit by a pitch. What a joke of an organization. They intentionally played with one man short for the past three weeks.

Burger got hit with that pitch like three weeks ago and hasn't played much since so apparently the Sox chose to play one man short for the past three weeks rather than putting him on the IL and calling up a replacement. This organization is pure shit.

It's the most unlikeable team with the least amount of likeable players, that's for sure. And a very unlikeable manager.
