Right one was Davis Martin. Who was chastised by TLR? The other was Jose Ramirez I think...

Cardinals are hard to love except when they used to play the Cubs. But you definitely respected their tradition, financial prudence, fan support and teams more often than not.

Even if you combined the Sox Royals and TigerI into a "megateam", you still might not beat the Yankees Astros and Blue Jays when they're hot offensively.

Some of them for most of the season haven't even seemed interested in making millions to play a kids' game.

and the White Sox were already eliminated from contention, who would you choose for the Central? I will go with the Guardians for a number of reasons: 1) Better than Sox clearly head to head 2) 27th highest payroll, roughly 1/3rd Sox budget...that's embarrassing 3) Historical franchise ineptitude...no World Series win in many fans' lifetimes 4) Have a former Sox minor league manager in Francona getting best of HoFer LaRussa...also embarrassing the Sox never go after the best managers outside the organization. 5) Sox can still play spoiler against Twins six of last nine games of season. 6) Real-time proof that drafting, development and analytics can work for one of the smallest media markets...can still afford Jose Ramirez who's arguably the best player in the division and a much bigger contract commitment than the Sox have ever made for one of their own or FA. 7) Cinderella/David vs. Goliath team. Most effort heart determination hustle and emotion expressed by far compared to pretty much any team in baseball other than the M's right now. Fundamentally sound. ? Emmanuel Clase the best young closer in game...proof you don't need to overspend on the bullpen because of drafting and solid trades.

Right. Only 70% feeling in extremities. It’s hard to describe, but very uncomfortable. Had similar situation first 24 hours in Tibet but was fine the following day. About 30-40% are affected and its not really about fitness level or conditioning…

That’s the way the Rockies’ announcers were describing it. And how they brought in extra oxygen tanks and water. Even went with folk remedies like beets/beet juice trying everything to not be affected. Has been an issue since the very first time he pitched there a decade ago, exacerbated by how hyped up he gets and the hyperventilating leading to obvious breathing issues.

Just send him back to the damned Dodgers. Will only cost half his remaining salary to dump him. Which is a lot more than we could get away with trying to get rid of Leury.

Well, if he hadn’t almost been hospitalized for oxygen sickness. He probably did ask to go in, knowing Hendriks.

You can be pretty sure Graveman will also go on the IL with his velocity way way down today…

You’re assuming a two out bases load hit though. That’s certainly not the Sox forte this particular season.

He did make that one running catch on Iglesias but is so perfectly emblematic of everything that has gone awry with the rebuild.

What's the point of following a team you are rooting for to lose? It's not so they will get rid of LaRussa or even Abreu...

PTSD. It's no wonder attendance is flat. We can't even win at home, unlike pretty much every playoff contender in baseball.

As long as they kicked out everyone in the Sox front office and took away their keys.

And Kelly had actually been decent the last two weeks or so...

Trade Hahn and Gordon Beckham for Bill James, the original state nerd.

White Sox should be disbanded. JR forced to sell and a new team name because the franchise is just cursed. Watch the A's sweep them unless we sell off half the farm system for Montas first.

Just resign. Fall on your own sword. In over his head.

Graveman is hurt too. No way they can survive without Kelly Graveman and Lopez. Also trade Pollock while he's hot for once.

Didn't catch that ball at home even though he probably would have been safe...

3-2 you have to pitch to contact instead of getting desperate chasing the change.

LoL.

Has to be the most frustrating Sox season in decades.

Or just guiding fastballs?
