Well, I’m thankful we didn’t draft Mike Trout and sign Shohei Otahni and waste them. That’s a plus, right?

The “friends and family” plan popularized by the Sox. JR should charge a fee when other teams do it.

I feel like the Shields trade had KW’s fingerprints on it. Like the LaRussa signing, it doesn’t go with the rest of the moves Hahn made. Shields seems like the kind of guy Kenny had one of his crushes on who was destined to one day join the team. Not sticking up for Hahn…it was his time to get canned, but I don’t think he was ever fully in control. Oh, and the Sox still haven’t signed a prime free agent in forever.

You should definitely bump all those posts. It only took 5 years.

The narrative always becomes the team is moving/should move because “Sox fans don’t support the team.” Are we really supposed to support with blind faith a team that’s one of the least successful teams in history? Isn’t not going to games a reasonable decision?

The fans.

Thief immediately dumped the tickets to the game, so likely a Sox fan.

Bummer is perfectly named. I never feel good when he enters a game.

Travis Swaggerty seems like a fake message board name. And a damn good one.

Nope. Short on sandwiches is definitely not an accurate description of Ramírez.

I think Dylan Cease is playing himself onto the 2024 White Sox with his recent efforts.

I’m slowly becoming a non sports fan. Thanks Sox, Bears, Illini, etc. Not really happy about it.

I’d feel bad for Ohtani if he signed with the Sox. They don’t deserve him. We’ll be lucky to end up with a few of his relatives.

Have him replace Boston as 1b, outfield, and base running coach.

I’m going to suggest you have your prescription checked.

Before the season, I put $10 on the Sox to win the WS ($360 payout). I can cash out today for $0.61. Thinking about doing it.

Any idea why Cease stopped calling his own game? He was dominating at the start of the season.

I’d be happy if they tailored his uniform pants so he wouldn’t have to roll them.

I wanted Harper for several reasons (RF, power LH bat), but his “star power” was probably equal to anything he offered on the field. Simply making a non relevant team relevant nationally.

If a guy throws 6 pitches to get 3 outs, send him out for another inning - especially if he’s familiar with closing a game.

The should sign him and play him at 2b or RF.

Pretty sure you have. Buehrle started Game 2 and saved Game 3 of the ‘05 WS.

A few days ago I toyed with the idea of starting a “Whatever happened to…?” poster thread since this team is so abysmal. You were one of the names in my head. Ultimately, laziness won out, so no thread.

Head to head matchup, please. Computer simulated 7 game series would be tops.

I hate that this made me chuckle.
