Ron has rich history as Soxtalk's token Cubs fan.

I mean somehow the Sox are still 100% in control of their own fate. They can still win their way into a deep playoff run. The odds of that seems pretty terrible though.

That's the thing. The division is there for the taking if the White Sox play up to their talent level. But nothing about this season to this point has looked like this team is willing to play up to its potential. Could we have a 1983 White Sox/2005 Houston/2021 Atlanta type turn around? Sure. But nothing about this season has screamed the fuse is lit to anything this team blowing itself up.

Well there you go.

Should I have him apologize for hurting your feelings?

I really wish we could separate the destruction of spring training this year, and the players themselves.

Great thread idea. I don't know that I know enough to really rank them, but I am very excited that Colson Montgomery has gotten off to the first half that he has had. It really gives the system merit when he is out there just absolutely destroying folks in A ball. Wes Kath has recovered nicely after a .500 OPS to start with in April, to push himself up to .730 on the season. Norge Vera is by far the guy I am most excited about, as he might be the one guy in the system with star starting pitcher stuff. Oscar Colas is out there destroying baseballs in A+ without any red flags in his numbers. You'd like him to walk more, but outside of that, he is looking really good. Christian Mena is also off to a great start in the lower levels, really nice K numbers, walks under control, solid H/9, and improving as the season goes along. Loidel Chappelli has been absolutely destroying DSL, and seems to be a guy who is ready for US ball. I get he is 20, but it is nice to see him doing what he should to inferior competition, as we haven't always saw that. I know Kohl Simas is down with injury, but what a start to the season he had. 12.3 K/9 and a 1.024 WHIP. Tommy Sommer is also putting up huge K numbers at A ball with 82 K's in 65IP. Not many hits against either, but giving up a few walks as an older guy. Darrio Borrero is off to a nice start in the ACL as is Victor Quezada in the search for the next Latin American shooting star. Bryan Ramos had the huge start, huge slump, and now seems to be adjusting back again.

A show that definitely deserves more love. Good call Q.

Who wore it better? or

I think changing the subject here doesn't get you off the hook for your lies.

Actually, I do. The difference in taxes is why. The crime trope is BS that is false statistically. I thought facts matteted in your industry? Maybe this is why no one trusts you all anymore.

Apparently this will be the 140th time for him.

The 22 marketing campaign

For a city with a significantly higher crime rate than Chicago. But troll on.

We have spent the last two seasons going backwards.

Eloy not being able to play almost the entire season is a reason this team sucks this year. It isn't the reason, but it is part of the problem.

We didn't even make it a week.

You are going to throw out your back carrying Tony around like that.

You could never have an Eloy day then.

If anyone gets an extra bobblehead from today, I will pay for one. Message me.

This is the most likely scenario in my head. Nothing Tony does or states tells me differently to give him the benefit of the doubt.
