What is going to be interesting is the Stone Pony's take when LaRussa changes his plea to guilty on the DUI charge. He was making a big deal out of innocent until proven guilty when the news came out despite blood tests and police write ups.

Cancel the season, or at least trade Giolito while you can.

Yeah, you should have received something you can pencil into your line up for at least a decade for 2 months of 34 year old Melky Cabrera.

If the White Sox sign James McCann thread is any indication, judging by the reaction of the Adam Eaton signing, Eaton is a lock for Comeback Player of the Year in 2021.

I still think moving forward, Grandal is the better player, and McCann wasn't going to sign to be the back up when he was getting the offer he is getting. I know Giolito loved throwing to him, seemingly a lot more than throwing to Grandal. Again, if he doesn't like Grandal's pitch selection, have Lucas call the pitches. Many pitchers have called their own games over the years. Stone talks about how he did all the time.

Yes, but once they signed Grandal, which, BTW, poppysox loved, that was the end of James McCann with the White Sox, unless he played like a back up catcher. Maybe he will, and the Sox can get him back for a fraction of his contract. But he's a guy who went from non tender to 4 year contract. Good for him.

And there was plenty of time. The White Sox signed Grandal. That was the end of any McCann .

Not really. He was signed almost 2 years ago to the day, and the Soxtalk consensus was he definitely was no Seby. His addition made the Sox catching crew weaker.

It’s so ludicrous someone or ones need to be disbarred for even bring this to the court. But they all know that. This is just part of the grift. Trump is already moving shit out of the WH and back to Mar a lago and NYC. This is just so he can extend his fundraising for his slush fund under the guise of helping with the legal bills. And it’s working. Up to $207 million and counting. He is wasting the time of his cult members AGs, basically paying them for garbage, and draining some of the bank accounts of his cult members for his personal use as well.

Sean Hannity and Rudy Giuliani have both been wearing Trumps orange make up the last couple of weeks.

Trump just has to concede say the election was fair and he lost, and his base would be disarmed. They passed a note for support of this BS today to GOP members in Congress asking them to sign it and told them Trump will be checking who signed it.

! is amazing how many republicans are afraid of Trump. Simply amazing. The scary part about this is even though it will fail, Putin is licking his jobs. He'll find another Trump, only the next one will be bright, the next one will be more likeable, the next one won't be stuck on himself, the next one will be able to fake empathy, and wallah! Democracy will be defeated. I guess the republicans stop reading after the 2nd amendment. They should take a look at the 24th and tell us what is wrong with it. This is wasteful spending. The citizens of these states should be irate, especially if they are true republicans. This is the real fraud.

Because they only had $7 million to spend on a RF because Ray Ray cancelled his season tickets because they hired LaRussa and LaRussa is a drunk, and Eaton is an asshole who sucks. So blame Ray Ray.

I liked Q, but what about Kluber? It wasn't a major surgery that got him in 2020 and 2019 was a fractured arm I believe. And in 2018, the guy was Cy Young. Between Q and Kluber, their 2020s are a wash, and before 2020, from a pitching standpoint, there is no way you take Q over him. Go for the kill for once White Sox.

Hawkeyes still need to improve their defense, but that offense is tough to beat. UNC kept Garcia down a bit because they had the size and the quantity . Most teams do not. You might have one huge guy who can give him problems, but he will be in foul trouble quickly. Garza does what he wants if the guy guarding him is smaller.

If Adam Eaton gets back to his 2019 version and most everyone else hits as expected, everything should be fine from an offensive standpoint.

I think Joc is a better bet, but he doesn't fit into JR's budget, and who knows, that team option Eaton agreed to might have been the deal maker. I don't know if Joc would sign up for something like that at his age.

I doubt it, it's the Gold Coast Dogs at Union Station. Those guys work their asses off. They deserve more than $15 an hour.

He was ridden hard and put away wet at the end last year. I hope he isn't the second coming of Billy Koch.

There are some places a pizza puff and fries will be close to $10.

If the White Sox sign Michael Brantley now, either Eloy or Vaughn is getting traded. Brantley isn’t signing for one year, and they aren’t going to block Vaughn for 2 years.

Trump today said it was terrific the US is up to 15% of its citizens having contracted the coronavirus.

Most of his teammates loved him but he had some detractors. Of course some were back in the days when it was all racism, but Dick wasn’t always innocent. I read he was sent home 3 times for showing up hungover, and unable to play. Most teams have their fair share of guys who aren’t necessarily guys you want as next door neighbors. I just think the Eaton stuff has run its course. 2005 zoom meeting last year talked about a fight between AJP and Carl Everett when Everett had his kid in the clubhouse after the deadline. Yet somehow that team still won. Eaton isn’t going to poison the team. He might suck, but that is the risk you take when you budget $7 million in free agency for the position.

AJP with the Giants,Dick Allen

If Lynn want to test the market but leads the White Sox to a WS, signs a 3 year $55 million contract with the Angels next winter, and sucks for them sorry, that’s a win. Good processes lead to wins, no doubt. But ultimately you are judged by wins. Extending 34 year olds Isn’t necessarily a good process.
