Chris Davis would be a perfect fit to bring over to solve the LHH problem.

They didn't want to deal Benintendi (wrong move, clearly) or Devers (especially) at that time. Heard Dennis Eckersley (TV analyst and former LaRussa star) already warned Tony we were absolutely going to get steamrolled...he's not in Chicago for this road trip, though.

Not for the White Sox...

You're still not yet accounting for Eloy's ongoing injuries, Pollock opting in for next season, another year of Leury and some type of "retirement gift contract" for Jose Abreu.

Yankees needed to dump Donaldson onto the Covid-19 list to get a huge comeback win. Well, pretty much expected against BALT...

So much for that deal remaining a feather in Hahn's cap... We're back to discussion the extensions for Robert and Anderson as the only good moves. (I guess Cueto and Kelly/Graveman have been a mixed bag of late.)

https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds They're going to do a death cross tonight, lol. Entering the day, Sox still the favorites. Didn't double check against 538.com/Nate Silver.

14-3 in the AL Central. Sox 7-12. 8 game differential in the standings.

Twins escape with a 2-0 win. 5 1/2 GB at the end of the evening.

Two days, lol... Duran trying to make it interesting, 1st and 2nd, 1 out, 2-0 Twins lead still in the top of the 9th.

So now we've fallen below the A's in RS/RA...who basically are TRYING to lose to justify a move to Las Vegas, lol. Oakland-Alameda Stadium lease expires in 2024. Miguel Cabrera at his age singling against Duran's 101.6 MPH FB...but not the 96 MPH "splinker/sinker and splitter combined."

That was the death knell for Parque's career...

Well, most everyone probably supports the ripping of an aging White Sox HoFer (team, not Cooperstown) when he's down, right? So now you're going to argue you didn't actually think he was/is "done/toast" but it was solely with the intention of sparking a season renaissance for about the 6th or 7th time in your posting history, right? PS: Wouldn't it be better to post that disclaimer at the bottom of the post? And congrats on the 10+ runs for the Cubs' offense tonight against another terrible Central Division team.

Stranding Anderson at 2B? OR MAYBE NOT...lol. Yay, we just pulled ahead of the A's for worst RS/RA differential, haha. Ball wasn't carrying but Abreu still got it out. Ron is running for cover. 418 feet.

He was actually pretty good offensively his rookie season until fading a bit late...quite similar to Beckham as a rookie. It was the second seasons that were terribly disappointing. Well, Gordon's entire career, but that's another story.

That might be the best marketing idea of the year so far. Forward to Brooks Boyer.

Not if we had three full games to put up those runs without Robert...with no reason to even pitch to Anderson anymore.

Padres are going to send them Lamet (who has been sent to the minors, but now Clevinger's hurt yet again) as well to make up for Paddack...

Current RS/RA AL Ranks 10. Mariners -25 11. A's/White Sox -32 13. Baltimore -34 14. Detroit -50 15. KC -60

Don't forget McCann. I'm sure he was much happier in the AL Central than NL East.

Restart the retirement conversations again.

White Sox RS/RA differential ends up making TLR look like a genius if Phil Rogers is still assessing the team so simplistically . Almost 8 runs. Wind not carrying the ball, a bit cold night game prevented the homer for Kike'.

They're going to come up with a full 8-10 verse Nationwide song at this rate. Jose Ruiz next man in.

Old teammate Odor just homered against Yankees for a 5-3 lead. Would be four losses in a row for Yankees if that holds up in BALT. F U Donaldson!!! Serves them right. Also, looks like Clay Holmes will supplant Chapman as the closer, and soon.

Please lock/close thread, lol. You at least have to be a +10 games over .500 team in the AL Central to be deserving of this accolade.
