    I goddam love Schriffen lol 

    I have to say, I think he’s pretty good. He’s a little corny, but he’s got a good voice (not the cookie cutter announcer voice most young guys seem to have).

    He recognizes hard hit balls. I don’t even mind SS Stand Up. Not much different from John Rooney’s “and that’s a white sox winner!”

    I think he’ll grow out of some of the annoying tendencies he has, but a month in, I kinda like him.

    Gotta be the best draft in franchise history.  Some may laugh about the punter pick but he’s ridiculous and the Bears had one of the worst punters in the league with Gill.

    I’ll go with 1983. 7 Starters in their first 8 picks. It’s too bad they didn’t pick Marino instead of Gault, but they had McMahon in his 2nd year.

    Covert, Gault, Mike Richardson, Duerson, Thayer, Dent, Bortz all major contributors for years. 2 HOF.

  3. When questioned after Saturday’s loss to the Phillies what he thought of his team’s execution, Grifol opined, “I would not be in favor of it. Just flush this one and get ready for Sunday.”

  4. I’m not a big Dave Matthews Band fan, but I saw them last month at the Innings Fest in Tempe, and they were great. Great band - can play anything. Dave is a really good frontman. I saw them 25 years ago in Chicago, and they’re still getting it done.

  5. Watching “Manhunt” on Apple. It’s about JWB killing Lincoln and the hunt for him after he ran from thw theater. Really good-except Patton Oswalt is seemingly plopped into the 1860s from modern day. He doesn’t even try to seem like he’s from that period.

    Jake just seems like such a likeable guy. The kind you could sit down with and have a beer. The world needs more like him, Mark B and Mark Grace to name a few

    Sit down with Mark Grace for a few beers, and the two of you might share some additional time and space in Tent City.

    I guess they bagged the 83 uniforms.

    Good thing. I was sick of seeing them. Also sick of the black jerseys. looks like batting practice gear. Our standard pinstripes are among the best unis in the league.

    If they’re going to wear a throwback, the Sox have so many better options.

    I don't think the Sox (or any team for that matter) would think they'd lose their top 3 position players in the first 10 games of the season.

    If you told me in Spring Training 3 Sox players would be injured in the first 10 games, I would have guessed Eloy, Robert, and Moncada.

  9. My level of disconnect with this team…

    I didn’t click on the article. It took me reading several posts to figure out who Hendrix was (and not due to the misspelling). Other than Jimi, the only Hendrix that came to mind way Kyle. And I couldn’t figure out why he’d be commenting on the Sox. Although, if he wants to, have at it.

    That said, I think Liam’s point isn’t necessarily about his personal situation (haven’t read article) but the overall atmosphere of cheapness that clouds the Reinsdorf franchises.
