  1. It’s like most restaurants that post under new management signs. Most still suck.
  2. If scouting were such an exact science, Juan Soto and Fernando Tatis Jr. would have signed for a lot more, and several more would have received a lot less. But I’m certainly glad you are satisfied with the White Sox international operations. The fact is, there were players available at some point, but the White Sox are always holding on to a decent size of their allotment. The strategy hasn’t work other than for JRs bloated wallet.
  3. If the requirement is that someone has to build the Sox a new park, there is no way Arlington Heights is going to build them a new park.
  4. First off, if true all the players are signed, with this organization, having $500k left over is a fucking joke. Second, I’d take the chances of someone “popping up” over a 30 year old often hurt, can’t throw strikes reliever ever becoming viable.
  5. Hahn must be trying to get a Job with MLBN.
  6. Good to see the Sox giving up some bonus pool money. No need to spend it when you can spend it on waiver claims of 28-30 year olds.
  7. Since they are playing the Reds, this may be appropriate here, supposedly, Shoeless Joe and Charlie Hustle are now both eligible for the HOF.
  8. Probably but Amaya has a .244 OPS.
  9. Kind of a weird claim in the first place if you are only going to give him a game. That, and calling up Maton over Elko, then DFAing Maton for Elko was odd too.
  10. If he keeps pitching like he's pitching, he will be ROY. It looks like one move Getz got right. And in a huge way.
  11. Thaiss was going to bat 3rd for the first time since high school.
  12. More sad news, one of my favorites, Chet Lemon has passed away. Had a lot of health issues in recent years, including several strokes. Couldn't walk or talk during his final days. Only 70.
  13. Ron LeFlore took one off his head once with the White Sox for a 4 base error. Knocked him a little silly.
  14. Only knew him from his posts, but always was insightful, and humorous. I thought he was a good guy even though he was a Cyclone. This is so sad on many levels. Peace to his family.
  15. Andy the Clown used to tell the ladies "you really turn me on" and light up his nose.
  16. He is what he always has been. He peaked in college. It happens.
  17. It's weird, I've interacted with Brooks a couple of times, and he seems like a great guy, but a lot of people seem to have problems with him.
  18. I didn't go there last year, but for a couple years before that, they were using her booth as a first aid station. They quietly rid themselves of organ music several years ago.
  19. If he stays healthy, and that is a huge if, the Sox will never get the value Robert would give a good team. I think he would flourish. Again, I fail to se why any team would throw him a strike right now unless the game is out of hand.
  20. The Sox are bad enough where they should reward guys for performing. Probably he falls flat on his face in the Major Leagues. So what? He earned a shot. Give it to him. I was a big Andrew Vaughn fan, but he is what he is. How much more do we have to see?
  21. They should have sent him to their spring training complex.
  22. That’s another reason Jason was better. He came up with Sox Math because he was clearly a mathlete.
  23. It’s 4-1 bases loaded and Schriffen thinks the batter is the tying run.
