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.

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.

If you have or get the Bouna Beef app they give you a free beef between May 27-30

Moncada is gimpy.

Kelly in. What could possibly go wtong?

It makes sense, so it can't be done.

Tony defying all logic but the Sox tale the lead.

Exactly.

Fire LaRussa please

This guy has an Oscar Gamble stance

That was unfortunate

Reese now flirting with the Mendoza line with both OBP and SLG

When the first thing anyone mentions is the energy you bring when you are signed, it's pretty much a red flag saying you can't play very well. Josh brings a lot of energy. I think I called his DFA in his signing thread.

There is no way LaRussa will be fired. He should be, but no way.

Valasqeuz to me is basically Dylan Covey

I do think Bacon has been a lot better this year. He is a homer for sure, and that's fine calling TA and Abreu primo defenders and all. But he seems a bit more comfortable this year.

After watching what happened to the DBacks when Tony took over, it is mindboggling another organization would give him any say in personnel, let alone perhaps the final say.

Exactly what all his supporters said would never happen under Tony LaRussa is happening under Tony LaRussa.

Firing a hitting coach now, especially a guy the players like, is the sacrificial lamb move. Had to do something. This was cheap, but nothing will change, and a new voice isn't going to suddenly make them all hit .300 with 40 homers and 100 walks. If they want to shake things up, it will take a trade of a popular guy, or LaRussa and/or Hahn being shown the door.

The Sox probably have to walk up some stairs to their plane after the game so Tony is probably going to have to give TA the day off.

Because the Braves were struggling until July or August last season and won the WS, RH will be mentioning them in his pressers if the Sox continue to struggle. Who knew being under .500 in July is desired WS performance. But just because one fluke happened, doesn't mean another will soon follow. They better either turn it around real soon, or take some action, or there is going to be a lot of meaningless baseball played in Bridgeport this summer.

They can only play as well as their talent lets them. It just seems to me there is a lack of focus I haven't seen with a White Sox team for a long while. Even when they were bad, they were bad because they had bad players.

I don't agree. Not every team has a realistic shot at winning. This team does or at least did. There is a lot of talent. They should be much better. Tony is supposed to be Mr. preperation. This team looks ill prepared a good portion of the time. If Gene Lamont or Ricky Renteria was the person making out the line up card on Opening Day this year, I really believe they would be in a lot of trouble right now. There's a better chance JR makse me Czar of Baseball Operations than him canning Tony a 2nd time. But he is a big part of the problem. When the Sox had a lot less talent, and played as stupidly as this team does, a lot of people said it was Robin Ventura's fault. This season is starting to remind me of 1984. The Sox couldn't lose the second half on 1983. Picked up Tom Seaver in the offseason, and 95 wins was a lock. They started off bad and never got it going. Tony was managing that team as well.

River North after midnight has been a police officer's nightmare in the last 18 months. A lot of crime.
