  1. (Reinsdorf said through a spokesman he isn’t planning on commenting on La Russa or the team at this time.) That's the highlight of the article...until this: $3.75 million per season for TLR, and through 2023? We probably didn't even pay Robin, Torborg, Manuel, Fregosi, Bevington and Lamont that combined...and Ozzie on his initial contract was surely peanuts as well.
  2. Perez, Haseley, Adolfo the next best hitter up at Charlotte to replace Burger? What a complete and utter mess. Might have been Yermin, lol. Have to run TLR back out there and watch Hahn make a further mess of things due to the classic injury excuse now.
  3. They took two outfielders away, the other Luis Gonzalez.
  4. Sell high on who though? Vaughn? Graveman or Hendriks? Giolito? Abreu? Burger?
  5. Next to none…unless a contender can convince him to only DH.
  6. See Konerko, Paul. This franchise. At least they let Thome go to the Dodgers.
  7. Yet we're still stuck with the logical conclusion moving on is better than forcing Vaughn into the outfield a third year. Trading Andrew to free up 1B for a final season seems even more illogical. But then you have what, Pollock and Conforto as your corners next year, lol?
  8. It's like he is determined to prove he can be an opposite field singles and occasional doubles hitter...for Madrigal, that would be fine if he could drive the ball with authority. For Robert, well, Buxton is tripling his homer count right now.
  9. The toasted ravioli is decent there, though. And some kind of cheese toast I remember...
  10. Robert is not producing ANYWHERE near his potential. That said, we are finally down to just two DHs today in Abreu and Vaughn. Sheets, Burger, Grandal and Jimenez out. Although TLR is going to treat Zahara like one, unfortunately.
  11. I think it's going to take Lynn at least 3-4 weeks if not longer to get back to anything approximating what he was first half last season.
  12. Can we put Joe McEwing, a Ceasar Salad and a filet as the new lucky charm banner??? Or do we prefer a bearded Lynn, posing with a rib-eye and mashed potatoes/baked potato (but no potato wedges, please)?
  13. Ryan or Mark (McGwire)?
  14. White Sox sweep the Twins (instead of the opposite) Sox 31-28 Twins 33-30 Tied White Sox go 4-1 against the Guardians instead of 1-4 Sox 31-28 Guardians 26-30 3 1/2 game lead (Even if we just reverse the Josh Naylor Debacle, we would be 29-30, Guardians 28-28 and just trailing them by 1/2 game.) Of course, combining 3-0 and 4-1 (instead of 0-3 and 1-4, the hard current reality) into 7-1 would put them at 34-25 and 3 games up on the Twins and 6 1/2 on the Guardians. Moral of the Story: Win Your Damn Head-to-Head Divisional Match-Ups! @DET (2) @HOU (3) Toronto (3) Baltimore (4) @LAA (3) @SFG (3) Minnesota (3) Detroit (4) @CLE (4) @MIN (4) CLE (4) 37 games through July 24th (trade deadline heats up for real, they would have played 96 games with 66 remaining for the stretch drive.) Only 13 games against below .500 teams, and the Angels' true talent is better than that, as we all know. If they're still within 5-6 games of the Twins and in the middle of the Wild Card race, they're going to have to add rather than subtract. The way they're playing RIGHT NOW, 8-10 through the Giants' series in SF and 5 games under .500 would be QUITE the accomplishment. Then the Sox hit that run of five consecutive AL Central divisional opponents. They would have to go 12-7 during THAT stretch to get back to .500. The biggest short-term question then becomes the fate of one Lucas Giolito. That's undoubtedly tabled for the off season or perhaps the TDL in 2023.
  15. With our RS/RA, truly fortunate not to be ten games under .500 and out off it already.
  16. Michael Jackson Pepsi commercial. Or Rodriguez the singer (not Eduardo) on stage...in Detroit of all places.
  17. Sure if they take 2/3 from Houston...we can say the offense is actually alive again. Or they we htorically bad so something had to give at some point against teams like Tigers or Royals.
  18. Sox should pick up Fulmer some year and convert him back to a starter.
