Dick Allen

That is weird, and like was stated above if it was a stroke or heart attack they aren't putting him on a plane I'm guessing he probably was examined and the results came back before the game. Another twist was Dave Stewart was visiting him for some reason

I hope it isn't cancer. That is one thing where Tony would probably want to see "his" doctors. I would imagine the Sox get top medical experts.

The way it was phrased, I don't think it was Covid, and I don't know why they would have him at the park and then leave if it was something planned. My guess is he either had some chest pains and they were checking on a possible heart attack or perhaps he had symptoms of a stroke. The press release makes it sound like they didn't expect him back any time soon. Hopefully never, but if something is wrong, I do hope he recovers.

Actually I suggested what you are suggesting several months ago. Tony walks around with one shoulder really slouching. I said use any physical excuse and give Cairo a look. Either the team takes off so you bring him back ot its more of the same and you won't make the mistake of Cairo in 2023.

Or a wine tasting event.

The weird part about this is he participated in the pre game including meeting with some press without a hint something could be wrong. I don't like him, but hopefully OK.

It's next to impossible to hit HRs the other way to RF at GRF.

Tony was able to get Leuty in the line up before he left. Which is nice.

Good thing the ball doesn't carry to right center.

47 year old Leury Garcia pinch hitting and reaching 1st base on a wildpitch strike 3 with the winning run scoring from third to take him over the top.

I wonder if Hahn still thinks he has a championship roster. You would think a championship roster could at least be .500 with an ALC schedule.

As Tony says, looking at results is too easy. Leury hit a foul ball. That was great.

Is Jake Burger hurt, or does he hit homers too frequently for the White Sox taste?

Bob Uecker made a pile of money making fun of how bad a hitter he was. 580 or so lifetime OPS. Tony uses a guy with a .505 OPS in a key situation. The guy has some issues.

Tony got played in the 9th. His best option was Eloy and he took the bat out of his hands.

JR should have a mantle in every room of his homes dedicated to Michael Jordan. If he didn't inherit him when he bought the Bulls, he would be sitting on 1 Championship in almost 80 combined years as a pro franchise owner.

You are going to love Joe Kelly. Rven Joe Kelly's mom thinks Tony is an idiot.

They used to have banners on the OF light posts. They are gone now. I wonder if it has changed the wind effect.

They can blame injuries, but the same guys get hurt every year. Who missed significant time that surprised anyone?

I don't think there is a chance in he'll LaRussa comes back next year. But if he does, they will start the season getting swept in Houson and won't draw 25k at the home opener.

So many daggers this year. I think Engels drop was the one that killed them. Granted they were on life support then.

So has his belly.

That's what I thought when I watched it live and saw the replay.

Sox suck, but they really suck in the first game of a series.

Good thing the Sox passed on Thomas.
