5-move day: Ramos and Peralta called up, Bush sent down, Senzel jettisoned and Jacob Amaya claimed. Ramos back down, Amaya up.
Funny that they would play short handed when the games meant something.

8/26 - I just Googled it, and there's a game happening right now - Tigers (Buddy's Pizza) @ Sox (Vito & Nick's - change my mind)
So they have yet to win a game when trailing after 6 innings (0-76) and then blew 25 games in which they were winning after 6 innings. Pretty much sums it up.

Fire Chris Getz
Are you saying that you think he is not a complete failure as an employee of the Chicago White Sox? How log of a rope does he get for hiring Bannister? That is the only thing he has done right.

Illinois High School Football Thread
Funny you should say that. The parking lot is only decreased during construction. Now let's talk about the visiting bleachers. As a BR person once told me, there is a lot of work to be done and accommodating the visitors for 3 to 6 football games a year is not one of them.

8/25 Tigers vs Sox, The Quest for #100
I think we do play them more than others just not as much as in the past.

8/25 Tigers vs Sox, The Quest for #100
The NFL allowed a team to leave Houston for Nashville. NBA moved a team from Charlotte and then added an expansion franchise, they did the same thing with New Orleans. NFL did the same in Cleveland. Look at the NFL in southern California and that musical chairs or how the NFL treated St Louis. MLB is not doing anything to Reinsdorf. If he wants to move they will let him and maybe if the owners are greedy enough they will add two expansion teams and Chicago may be one of them. Only real option as fans is sadly, the death of the owner which we all witnessed with the Blackhawks can improve their situation. From a business standpoint Reinsdorf is not selling while he is still alive and nobody can blame him for that.

Fire Chris Getz
We lost the year moreso than any team in the history of professional baseball. If Reinsdorf is still of sound mind and body Getz would be gone but we all know he will not.

How can Getz and Barfield both be so bad at finding infielders
They are both really bad at everything. I am openly rooting against Vargas and Fletcher at this point in hopes of a house cleaning yet again as a result.

1 year anniversary of KW/RH firing
No it wasn't. It was needed but did nothing to improve the organization and actually, remarkably enough made it worse. Getz is as bad at his job as Pedro was, if not worse. Outside of Bannister any average fantasy baseball player could have made the moves he made. Not sure it's possible he could redo his work any more poorly than he already has.

Gunshot Victim Lawsuit
Jerry doesn't own or control the building that is the ISFA. They will pay the $50K and have probably done so already. Maybe the teacher friends had a falling out.

For those keeping score at home Lip Man is a BR alum as well.

Sox planning more playing time for Vargas/Fletcher
Same needs to happen for Colas unless he is just going to be gone one day.

Sports Media discussion
I detest the SCORE but I will say their scheduling of content blows away ESPN. Listening to the hosts on ESPN drone one with callers is worthless. Maybe it is the windows in which I listen but when the SCORE has any guest on it usually a good listen.

Pedro Grifol, Charlie Montoyo, Eddie Rodriguez, & Mike Tosar Fired (Grady Sizemore interim manager)
inept white sox.....probably forgot to include in press release

Pedro Grifol, Charlie Montoyo, Eddie Rodriguez, & Mike Tosar Fired (Grady Sizemore interim manager)
Right thing to do to end that issue even for the interim

Schriffen says he was aiming at “Sportscasters”
As far as Proft goes. NO part of the city is safe. I don't know the solution to that but there are parts that are a literal war zone. i live in the safest part and 18 shots were exchanged at 6:45 in the morning earlier this summer, Speigs and Parkins are a good listen. I disliked their coverage of Clevenger but other than that I appreciate them. Bernstein takes the job too seriously and Rahimi sp? is trending that way. Her and Holmes would be a great show. With social media there is a lot of credible folks with credability issues. Too much smoke around Brooks on this issue for it to not be an issue. Schiffren is really bad at his job.

Yes that was when that station lost all credibility.

Fire Chris Getz
It's like when Virginia gets angry when the Bears lose to the Packers. Mom and Pop owners which both of these are take the money and run.
-
Fire Pedro Grifol
Heard a rumor that Pedro is gone this weekend. Makes sense with Getz quotes last couple days.
-
Alexander Albertus Injured
I believe someone pointed out that he was in the complex league and they are done so his season was done anyway. it does make for some new cannon fodder for this iffy trade.

Trevor Rodgers to BAL
Did Florida also send an intriguing arm and serviceable bat along with him?

Media Coverage Question
I thought MLBN just started a streaming service directly

Fedde/Pham/$ to STL, Kopech to LAD, Miguel Vargas + prospects to Sox
So St Louis and the White Sox agree that Edman and Fedde match up so Getz goes out gets the Dodgers to pick up Edman's contract from St Louis and finds some prospects he likes with the Dodgers. Then St Louis says give us Pham as well....Getz says OK and then St Louis says give us some cash as well and Getz says OK. At that point I think St Louis just felt bad for Getz and ending asking for things. The Dodgers took a flyer on Edman and Kopech for those three guys. They have the luxury of doing that. If they thought highly of Vargas at all they would not have looked at Edman and then Rosario. I guess they did miss on the guy they traded to the cubs so who knows.
