Not going to be long before Vaughn has a toilet seat hairline.

10 will be appealed to 7.

TA will forever be known for being knocked on his ass.

First round knockout. Sit down TA, he knock you on yor ass.

I thought he is supposed to have better than average speed.

Biggest contract in franchise history.

If TAs legs are so messed up he could not score on that flyball, why, with his below .300 OPB, is he leading off?

Kiley McDaniel said he had them at 12th last week.

Apparently, the White Sox are fully aware of what comes next. A friend of mine is still a season ticket holder, but not for long. He got an email recently about renewal. He usually doesn’t read them carefully, but he did this time. A couple of years ago the Sox gave this customers the option of spreading their bill over 10 payments. When it came up for renewal, you had to do it again. Now, no more, if you are on the payment program, you are automatically being hit with the first charge for next season in September unless you opt out. I’m sure there will be quite a few accounts that don’t realize this and wind up renewed for next year. I was on the auto payment program last year, but to opt out, I just did nothing. This isn’t a practice limited to the White Sox. I understand that. But the timing of switching to this when the team goes to one of the worst in baseball is beyond curious.

Owning baseball teams is such a tough business. According to JR, it’s next to impossible to make money. Luckily, he was able to scrape up $17 million for this purchase.

The throw from TA is one of the worst you will ever see.

Steals 2nd, no chance to throw him out but bad throw by Yaz, and minimal effort by TA to corral, so runner on 3B,

Sore heel.

Yeah but at least they got some bodies instead of the usual salary relief.

8.164 service time on Baseball Reference. I think you need 10 for the full enchilada.

I am not saying it definitely isn't anything, but I'm skeptical. I would imagine, that close to the deadline, the 3 Stooges are huddled up together, so whoever she feels comfortable speaking with doesn't matter.

I think everyone is making way too much out of it. It was crunch time, she knows Kenny really well. Went with what is familiar.

I remember when so many complained about Greg Walker. Called him lift and pull.

When the gold standard for the hitting coach was Salvy Perez and Jorge Soler, it did make me pause. They have had seasons when they have hit a lot of homers, but they are two of the worst OBP in baseball usually. Looking at it, Soler has had his moments, but he's also been horrible. I think they should show an outs percentage. It basically is 1000- the OBP, but adjust for DPs and bad baserunning.

Totally agree. His press conference fired me up. But it was all talk. One of the highest chase rates in baseball. And the staff walk rate is only beat by the minor league Oakland A's.

This. For all Pedro fans, I ask, what are his strengths?

You just know Benintendi will hit 3 homers in September and Hahn will proclaim his power problem solved.

Considering their track record, I would say definitely. They will overpay for a couple of low tiered players and consider themselves championship worthy.

The Sox don't really think Touki is a legit rotation piece, do they?

The Marlins had $5 burgers last night.
