Kinda tired of the revisionist history on this site as people complain
4 White Sox MVPs in the history of the franchise. 3 of them have been 1B. It's incredible his hatred of the position.

Kelly to IL (strained hamstring - out a monthish); Banks up
I think it was the last 3 or 4 seasons coming into this one where the Sox lead the league in hamstring ILs. Overall, I think they were still below average in days lost. But it cost Thomas his job, and who knows, maybe if they knew he'd be gone, they may have drafted his son. But there is a problem here.

Kinda tired of the revisionist history on this site as people complain
I think everyone knew the White Sox offseason was anemic this year. Looking in hindsight, it appears almost any move they made would have been bad. The problem I had though, and still do, is the fact they didn't go for the jugular. There is still 120 games left, so they can turn it around, however, if you are sleepwalking now, what are you going to be doing in the dog days of August?

When did we take the wrong turn?
If they were going to go old school for a manager, they should have gone with Buck. Buck is really good for a few years when he get a job then his act gets old. But there is a difference. You saw Buck on TV. He sounds exactly like he did 20 years ago. You watch Tony get interviewed now and compare it to 20 years ago. It's a lot different. I will admit, I wouldn't have wanted Tony 20 years ago either.

When did we take the wrong turn?
I almost feel the organization as a whole has determined what they have done is already enough. I'm a partial season ticketholder. I hold a small weekend plan. I used to be a full season guy in premium seats. The way they have just ignored season ticketholders reminds me of 2006k, when as a 15 year season ticketholder, my rep wanted me to move back a couple of rows, just because. The year before, they couldn't do enough for you. There were numerous parties, we got to take batting practice. Now, apparently, they think they must have won again. I am being totally ignored, and most things season ticketholders used to receive, are gone. The players are playing the same way.

Considering he was hurt when signed , I doubt they were able to get insurance on him.

Red Sox vs White Sox Game Two-7:40 CT
They will get a couple hours of beer sales before they call it. Good chance even if it isn't raining at 710 they don't start. Also a good chance they already know this one won't be played, but as long as they can sell a few thousand $14 Modelos, it's worth opening the gates.

Times have changed. Apparently now it's the hitting coach's fault if a roster is full of ground ball hitters. We are only a decade removed from constant calls for Greg Walkers head for lift and pull.

Aaron Judge Critical Of Donaldson's "Jackie" Comment
So you must know them all. This incident is not a good look for a sport struggling to find black players.

Aaron Judge Critical Of Donaldson's "Jackie" Comment
I could only imagine what guys like Donaldson and Schilling would have been like if they played when Jackie Robinson played. What they would have deemed appropriate to say to him would have been vile.

Homeowning!
Congrats. Just try to be prepared as well as you can be prepared. It is a great investment, the only problem is stuff goes wrong occassionally. I don't have kids, so mowing lawns, snow removal that stuff is on me. . I'm not very handy, but am one who can figure it out if I have to. But sometimes that is just not practical. Hopefully you have someone you trust or can fix things, because they do break. .I wussed out, and after 5 years went back to condo living. Pay the assessment and be done with it is very appealing to me. I agree with the earlier posts. Make the house yours. My wife changes everything every few years anyways, so when we moved it, 3 months later, everything was different and ours.

Pretty sure TA will be serenaded with Jackie chants today.

Josh Donaldson called Tim Anderson "Jackie"
Schilling and Whitlock are saying Donaldon is ragging him. Maybe if Donaldson actually admitted he was ragging him and didn't realize he could be crossing a line is one thing. Saying he was trying to diffuse a tense situation with what he considered humor another.

Josh Donaldson called Tim Anderson "Jackie"
It's laughable Donaldson tried to sell himself as a wannabe peacekeeper.

Josh Donaldson called Tim Anderson "Jackie"
He was trying to be a dick. He succeeded. Perhaps was too stupid to realize how far over the line he went, then lied and said he was just trying to be funny to lighten the mood.

Josh Donaldson called Tim Anderson "Jackie"
Donaldson is an irritant and that is what he was trying to do. He claimed he was trying to diffuse any tension, but we know that isn't something he does. It was a flippant remark that was meant to piss TA off, and it was, whether it was intended to be or not, racist.

5/21 Sox @ Yankees | 12:05PM CT | Keuchel vs Cortes
I have been stuck on Keuchel starts this year. They did win his last start against them. A few years ago, it seemed every game I had tickets for were James Shields starts. Those really sucked. The games were almost always over in the first couple of innings.

Flying in for a couple games, need info
That is a weird spot. 100 feet in any direction away is very safe. Loyola has a dorm a block away. But right in front of that McDs is a Chicago Red Line stop and it's pretty shady there sometimes, and it has spilled into the restaurant several times. I've always wondered with how the city handles other businesses with shootings how that McDs remains open. I'm sure there is corporate pressure. If it was Joe Schmo burgers, it would have been padlocked years ago.
