Alexei and Escobar weren’t Paddy, and everyone on Soxtalk could have recommended Abreu and Robert.

I bet the Sox could have bought Vargas from the Dodgers for less than they paid Fedde and Pham.

It took Getz a year to figure out Paddy suck, thought I’d just remind JR.

Upgrading everything should be on the shopping list this off season.

And there is probably no chance he would want the job. There aren't going to be titles. Just hurt to your managerial record. I suspect it will Schumaker, a total Tony hire.

It seems logical he would come to that conclusion but I think his ego won't let him. He likes to go back and tell everyone they were wrong g about something and he was right. When they won the division in 83, he could have said anything joyous, but it was Harry and Jimmy were the scum of the earth. When the won the division in 2000, his first thought was how everyone was wrong about the White flag trade. When LaRussa made the HoF, he just wished Harry Caray was alive to see it. He's been so wrong lately but he will keep Gwtz around until he can say I told you so. It's really odd.

Better he f*** something up with his own money than public funds.

Yes for the White Sox to sign decent free agents they have to overpay. The same money, why would you walk into this situation. Plus, look at just about every significant White Sox free agent signing. There is an exception or 2 , but signing with the White Sox is a career killer. It’s where your career goes to die.

That would be must see TV.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure he would be dead.

They trade for guys with some talent but warts that need to be fixed that either can’t be fixed, or if they can, they have no idea how to fix.

God does Nastrini suck

Cue the circus music.

Schriffen just said Grady Sizemore noticed Vaughn was 0 for his last 24.

I’m not a professional so I may be way off, but the Dodgers couldn’t get him to hit or field, so I’m thinking the Sox will fail.

That was after a 3-22 July.

I’d be a Brewers fan. They can cry about injuries just as much as the White Sox, maybe more. They traded a big time pitcher, just like the White Sox. They are going to the playoffs. The White Sox are a national joke.

I think what is going on at 3B shows just how backwards this organization is. Of the 4 younger guys, Sosa, Vargas, Ramos, and Montgomery, the 2 least likely to be the White Sox 3b of the future are the 2 getting reps there. Everyone except the White Sox, a common theme this year, knows Vargas isn’t a 3B. Most everyone except the White Sox knows Sosa is a benchwarmer on a mediocre team. I get not calling up Montgomery this year, but there is zero reason Ramos isn’t playing out the string at 3B.

It makes more sense than hiring Getz. Considering his previous titles, Getz either bears some responsibility for the previous failure, or was a coffee boy. Either way, it should have made him unqualified, and he is proving that in real time.

I think they are going to have to be crazy lucky to ever be in contention with Getz and his crew. JR needs to admit his mistake and try again. It won't happen for many more years.

The Schriff was just telling us how great Touki was less than 24 hours ago.

They actually started playing better the second half and rolled it over to one of the teams most enjoyable seasons in 1990.

The problem is pitchers get hurt, and when they do, it usually is for a year or more. So you have to figure some of their better guys are going to go down at some point,.Hopefully, the timing is when the team sucks and is going to suck anyway, and not when their presence can make a difference in contenting or not.

It’s a sad state of affairs.

Their attempts to address the offense thus far gives every indication they don’t have the ability to recognize that particular skill. Since Getz was hired initially, who have the White Sox developed that has come to the major leagues and met or surpassed what was originally projected? Maybe Burger, and they flipped him for garbage. Not Vaughn. Not Eloy. Not Moncada. Not even Robert. And just about everyone else has been below replacement level.
