Cubs vs Sox greatest rivalry in sports 7:05 pm gt
We ain't takin' that. No we ain't taking that A-train. I don't care how many L's we got. I actually like Southside Staaaaaaaaaaaaand up, if it's used correctly. He had another where he imitated a slot machine. I thought that was pretty good too. But there is too much amateurish stuff going on here, and it seems to me he had no idea who or what the White Sox were or are until he was contacted for an interview.

12 losses in a row. Someone needs to resign or be fired. New Maldonado line at .080
Pedro is just going to have to get creative. What does he mean by that? 76-147.

Padres into Garret Crochet
I would think you are correct. If, somehow, Crochet makes it through the season unscathed, that may make him pretty valuable in the offseason.
-
Padres into Garret Crochet
I agree, but if they want to pay up, the Sox have to do it. Crochet has 2 years left, I believe, and JR isn't going to pay him if he's an ace.

Robert back, DeLoach back, Ellis up, Pham IL (HA HA), Fletcher IL, Remillard He Gone
Schriffen probably thinks this team just bolstered itself for a playoff run.. Southside, staaaaaaaaaaaaaad up.

Duke Ellis Called Up
Did Pham get hurt practicing kick boxing kicks?
-
Duke Ellis Called Up
After yet another blunder Sunday, Remillard got what he deserved. I hope he is released or elects free agency, so the Sox will not be tempted to use him anymore.

Duke Ellis Called Up
If a couple of them didn't go down, they probably don't sign Pham who has made up for what was lost for some of it. It wasn't like these injured dopes were going to get you 5 more wins, and even if they did, that would be 20-40, which is still unacceptable. The Sox best 2 signings in recent years were Pham and Cueto, all because that was what was left.

Duke Ellis Called Up
Most likely this guy will sit on his ass. I think it's stupid to call up guys if they aren't going to play.

Fire Chris Getz
There have been great pitchers who once sucked. There have been more pitchers who just sucked. Nastrini sucks right now, but he has talent. It wouldn't surprise me he is successful if he can get a little command. That's his issue, and it's always been. Fixing it is easier said than done.

Schriffen says he was aiming at “Sportscasters”
It's so funny he's talking how Contreras is barking, and he's just running back to the dugout. It was just phony.
-
Fire Pedro Grifol
I think once you get to 70 under .500, if the team was too aftraid to fire you, it should be automatic.
-
Fire Pedro Grifol
He is, but he doesn't come across as the most fun guy to be around.
-
What Will it Take for JR to Lose Interest?
Nashville should be careful what they wish for. 44 seasons, now under .500. He'll have an even smaller budget in Nashville, but will get a park for free.
-
Fire Pedro Grifol
It doesn't seem Pham is a fan of Eddie Rodriquez "It was a shallow fly ball to left field. You would expect the left fielder to throw the baserunner out on that play," he said. "The third-base coach [Eddie Rodriguez] sends you, you've got to go. I'm nailed out at home by a mile.

Schriffen says he was aiming at “Sportscasters”
He's in an impossible spot, but the problem I have with Schriffen, is his spin totally disrespects his audience. The people still watching this crap know far more White Sox history than he possibly ever will. The people still watching this crap understand baseball maybe at least as well or better than he does or ever will. Quit spinning. We all know this is garbage. You are what your record says you are. 15-45 is historically bad. Own it.

What Will it Take for JR to Lose Interest?
Yep. It's impossible to make money owning an MLB team, but JR can't sell because the Capital Gains tax will be just too much. LMAO.
-
Fire Pedro Grifol
Also fire Remillard. He isn't good enough to get a pass on all the damage he's done.

June 1 game thread Sox @Milwaukee 3:10 first pitch
Who knows if it will help or not. What definitely doesn’t help and evidence sort of shows makes things worse, is doing nothing. Fire this clown. Things have gotten so bad, Schriffen can’t even pop off out of line.
-
Benintendi hurts himself on a HR, going to IL, Colas up
Yeah, they have younger guys sitting and rotting, while the manager says you have to earn your opportunity, and lets this guy stink up the place. Now says he’s been playing hurt. OK. Next they will blame his injury on his awful performance forgetting if that is why he sucked why would you continue to throw him out there? What a mess of a team. Fire everone.

Sox Quote of the Day 6/1...
Pedro was telling us in Spring Training that Maldonado wasn’t a .180 hitter. I think he thought he was better than that, buy he is right, he isn’t a .180 hitter. He only wishes he was.
-
Sox trade Cristian Mena to Arizona for OF Dominic Fletcher
Either play him or send him down.
-
Schriffen says he was aiming at “Sportscasters”
The schedule makers and the umpires have conspired to make the White Sox seem like they awful, when, in fact, it’s just a tough stretch every team goes through. He should be a politician. i have the feeling that one year ago John Schriffen couldn’t name 8 players that spent the majority of their career with the White Sox.

Fire Pedro Grifol
“I feel fortunate that I work for an owner like Jerry,” Grifol said Wednesday before a 3-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays at Guaranteed Rate Field. “I just think that he’s been in this game for 44-45 years, and he’s a baseball guy. I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to work for him and wear this uniform with them. So I’m grateful to be here.”

Ramos optioned to AAA, corresponding move before Friday's game
Robert is the obvious call. I wonder which OF sits.
