Steve Stone says guys suck then he says the same guys are awesome a few days later. He isn't going to rock the boat too much.

Kimbrel could have been the guy the Sox thought they were getting, and the Sox still wouldn't have won this series. Their pitching was horrific. Their offense except for Sunday night, the same. Their defense, horrible. Maybe it wakes some people in the organization up and they realize that while they are the class of the AL Central, there is a lot of work to be done.

But in those games he didn't play, he put up a 0.0 WAR. They replaced him with a much more expensive guy who put up a negative WAR. Madrigal outplayed him sitting on his couch. And the guy they traded him for was even more expensive, and he won't be a White Sox much longer. I get Madrigal has been hurt, but that doesn't mean he is going to miss half the season moving forward, because if that is exactly what it means, the Sox have a problem. They have a few guys in the same boat.

Kimbrel won't have any problem finding a closer job. It just won't be for anything close to $16 million for 2022.

The grade is an F. They did not get out of the first round. Tepera doesn't matter. Hernandez was bad enough his option will be declined. And Kimbrel was so bad his option will be declined. I never thought the Sox had any intention of keeping Kimbrel from the start, but they won't be able to flip him with a $16 million price tag. Hindsight isn't fair, but it's the only way to give an accurate grade. It turns out, the Sox didn't improve their team at the deadline. They only weakened their assets and spent some cash which will bite us all.

Tony said if ownership wants him back and the players want him back, he'll be back. Unless you or I can come up with some funds that might interest JR, he will be back.

Fitting that Cesar will be the last out this season.

Yeah HFA was huge today.

Yeah HFA was huge today.

At least 95% of my season tickets for next season are paid with unused playoff tickets.

4 1/2 hour games the Sox were hardly in really suck.

If they steal now I would get this guy out, walk Madonado and then drill Altuve.

He's like Uncle Leo. He's tired and wants to go home.

Tony trying to get tossed.

If they had the infield in and TA was playing up the middle and they hit it to the typical Ss position, everyone who botched about it before would be bitching about that.

Tony is going to bring in Hendriks fot the 9th. He'll probably get hurt.

Cmon that would have been a hit against every team.

The last hit was a ball up the middle and the infield was in. Get real.

1 run scored in game 1. 1 run scored today. The pitching hasn't been good, but when you have to pitch a shutout to win, Menicino might be in trouble.

The Sox will be better next year tha this.

Kimbrel in.

Getting into the playoffs should be a cakewalk next year. They need to emphasize from the start the importance of making guys hit their way on base. They have been killed by that this series.

Only 1 year in the last 104 have the White Sox won a playoff series.

It boils down to you can't take your starter out after 3 or 4 innings with the lead if they don't have the lead.

Not lately
