I think one of the reasons the White Sox are a tanking team is the number of bad players they have signed. At this point, I don't care if it "makes sense" or not, I'd like them to acquire an actual good player.

Coop will fix em.

His option was already burned.

Many of the people there didn't pay for a ticket, although they probably spent plenty on concessions. And they were there for the hoodie, which I must say seemed pretty nice. Not the typical junk they give away that people will wait in line for hours to get.

14 strikeouts no walks for White Sox hitters today. By no means should they expect better and make any staff changes. More of the same. I really think JR KW and RH collective biggest problem is not being able to admit they are ever wrong. It takes a Shiels/Tatis magnitude blunder for any concession of not being more baseball savvy than everyone else.

So getting him up over 110 pitches saved the bullpen 2 outs. I don't see the payoff.

You don't have your best pitcher who has had recent shoulder surgery take one for the team. Let Fulmer do that.

Why did he come out this inning? He was at 98 pitches and struggling. What are they going to prove having him face a couple more hitters at most?

He didn't have a good outing, obviously, but 8 ks in 4 innings while sucking is still impressive. So his arm being shot really doesn't add up.

My mom died in 1999 and my dad is still around doing pretty well. He is a retired lawyer who did pretty well for himself. He did re-marry leaving some complication, but his estate is going to be evenly divided between me and my two siblings. We have already met with the lawyers. One told me the day after my dad goes,his money will be in our accounts. He is my dad's former assistant and a former IRS attorney. His house, his wife gets to live in as long as she likes, if she outlives him. But she is one day younger than my dad, and has a couple of physical issues. It isn't a ranch, her daughters don't really help her, it's a large house in a nice neighborhood and she would be responsible for the taxes, I couldn't imagine her staying long. And when that gets sold, it's a 3 way split as well. Everything is about as in order as can be. That said, I'm sure there will still be a couple of issues.

Go to the Club Level. It's delightful. No bathroom lines, server. Food and drink delivered. Give them your credit card info at the beginning of the game, and pay for it after the 7th.Great view, and a decent shot at getting a ball if that's your thing.

I'll be a bit worried about Eloy if this is going on in June and July. To expect anyone to thrive when they first get to the major leagues is foolish. It may even be tougher for guys with the pub Eloy gets. He just doesn't get fastballs seeing if they can hit it like lesser knowns get. He's treated as legit from the start. He'll adjust.

The problem with firing Coop is Hassler has already been appointed his replacement, and since he's already in house, a change in performance wouldn't appear to be likely.

Sox team ERA 6.52. Coop will fix em.

I don't understand the scanners. If it's a sunny day, it takes those poor people about 15 attempts to get a phone ticket to click. I would like to see them use a thing like the CTA. Have all info on a phone and give a card to season ticketholders and let them scan themselves in with that.

Saturday was unique. I haven't seen the lower deck so crowded since they came up with the policy upper deckers had to sit in the upper deck. The concourse was full all the way around. They got surprised by the turnout which made their already slow concessions slower, and the bathroom lines longer. It must have been the decent day and sweatshirts. It was either last year or the year before, the second game of the home season featured a closed upper deck.

32k announced probably closer to 40kin the house. I think most of the people who got the freebies to a game in Aprilor May used it yesterday. The lowere concourse was packed all the way around the park.

I know this is going to sound kind of goofy but I was at the game today and lost my wallet in the parking lot. I got a call from the White Sox in the 9 th inning informing me they had it. Nothing missing. Thank you to the honest person who turned it in. With all the bad in the world it is good to know it is still mostly good. Especially at 35th and Shields.

Even when he was with the Cubs and they were praising him about lots of things, the one thing that was questioned was his bullpen usuage. If you are going to have 12 or 13 pitchers and currently have 4 starters, keeping him in as long as he did when he clearly was struggling was puzzling at best.

This is on Renteria. What do you need to see?

I am pretty sure every White Sox position player will have a 5 game stretch this year where they look awful. I an sure we know what Yolmer is and what he will be.

I am not a Yolmer guy, but c'mon man. Its 5 games. Playoff series are longer than that.

Waltz into a bar in the neighborhood and ask them for a parking pass.

If you're not supposed to pitch Covey, why have him on the roster? There was a good point made earlier, the game was probably lost on Saturday when they used Herrera and Colome, making Herrera was unavailable, so Renteria, who I am no fan of, was stuck. He brought in Fry who many here have said is basically elite. He was bad. If he brought in Jones, everyone would have complained. I don't know how many times I have read on this board Covey may make a pretty good reliever. Well, not yesterday, but they aren't contending for a WS so it's worth a try to see what you have.
