Dick Allen

The lasting memory I have of Ron LeFlore as a White Sox was him playing CF. Someone hit a routine flyball that bounced off his head, knocked him down ala TA with Jose Ramirez, and the batter running around the bases for a 4 base error.

This is, after all, the organization that thinks Miguel Vargas will be a middle of the line up hitter.

7 total wins in July and August.

Nice quote. One year later on 8!31/24 his team clinched worst record in the AL with a month left in the season. Nice hire.

Traded for each other.

Incomplete. Some are really hopeful, but we will see. Ultimately what counts is what they do, not what they are ranked. Hopefully Schultz is a stud. Bush and Nastrini have major flaws. Cannon might be OK but might not. Who knows what is going to come of Thorpe elbow Martin looks good,, but how much is that have to do with Janish? Wasn’t that Banniister sugessting a grip, and it worked right away?

Considering how Related and JR have states the studies all show the states 10 figure investment is a total win for the state, how they couldn’t find investors to build this privately with minimal cost to the state. They will be counting their money forever.

They don’t even want to admit this is a down to the studs rebuild. They are not dealing with reality, and MLB needs to step in, This is a charter franchise in the 3rd largest market in the country. There are lemonade stands run better than this. JR needs to sell or let someone competent make the decisions. Even when he finally does something right like firing KW and RH, he wrongs that right with Chris Getz, who will be happy to give you a 7 year rebuild. That’s 7 years of GM paychecks he wouldn’t get anywhere else, and I’m sure he knows it. JR has no schtick. He uses the same one he always has, he’s at the mercy of his dumbest competitor. Think what the rest of the AL Central must think of him. The highest payroll in the division and a record no one in MLB history has ever been as bad or worse through 136 games. And in the midst of this unprecedented run of awfulness, he sends Roger Bossard out to the 78 to build a makeshift infield to remind people what the can have if they just build it for him. f*** HIM.

No just another that wanted to talk about the positives of a 31-105 team. The players love Grady. Brady loves the players. How nice. Talking to Clueless Schriffen, who again told us last night how Nicky has been killing it in the leadoff spot, the Sox appear to be loaded.

It is, but most would be blocked out once they built the stadium. Unless you were way up in the upper deck.

He injured his hand on a swing. Probably out for the weekend.

Very sad. He seems like a real nice guy. He was at Soxfest many years ago, and Roland Hemond was around. He called him Mr. Hemond. He was so grateful for what Roland had done for his career.

The sad thing is it has to be a huge problem for so long before changes are made. So what if hes been here less than a year, if he's incompetent he's incompetent. The faster these people are replaced, the shorter the time you can at least be average again. You know, the Bulls strategy.

Exactly.

Remember when 7 in a row was a long streak? That was awesome.

Too bad Schriffen isn't a GM. He'd pick up Nicky in a hearbeat. He said last night he's really settled into the leadoff spot.

4 wins their last 41 games. Sorry, that's clean house time.

One thing that needs to be done, no matter what his supposed role is, LaRussa needs to go away. Since his managerial career ended the first time he helped run the D Backs into the ground, went to Boston, Dombrowski got fired. Went to Anaheim, they haven't been above .500 in 9 seasons. Then helped the White Sox reach depths the likes you have never seen. Seems to be a pattern.

Poor guy already had cue the fireworks and say it with me, South Side staaaaaand up. It was going to be like they won the World Series.

The Veeck years were mostly bad, but during the 5 seasons he owned the team in the 70s and 1980, they were a combined 68 games under .500. They are about to be 71 under this year alone.

I get that, but the White Sox should at least give not giving the opponents best players a great chance to beat them a shot. The other way hasn’t worked.

I don’t understand White Sox managers. Why face Seager with the infield in when you could just put him on and face Grossman with at least the infield at worst halfway?

I don't think so. It was insane. I live on the Near North Side. Right before 7, it was sunny and there was a cicada right by my bedroom window. It was so loud, i thought it might be inside. Then I spotted him on the small window ledge below my window. I didn't want to take out the screen to shoe him away so I pounded on the glass. That just made him louder. 2 minutes later he was pounded by hail and he scrammed.

The biggest Chris Getz apologist on this board told us he built a lockdown bullpen.

swapping out gas cans, but at least going with the one who may have a future with the team.
