They're all advertisements that could be negatively construed quite easily if the team on the field disappointed? That, I find incredibly difficult to imagine. PERCEPTION IS 90% OF REALITY. Why put yourself in a position to look like a jackass? Remember TWTW, from Harrelson? The souvenirs/t-shirts/merchandising around it? Well, it last about all of 2 or 3 weeks when the team completely fell apart.

Clubhouse leadership. Cespedes Brothers Recruiter. Smokeless tobacco spokesman across the Caribbean.

Let's just for once, as White Sox fans, worry about ACTUALLY QUALIFYING or potential pitching match-ups FOR THE DAMN PLAYOFFS...maybe FIRST???

Because the season's so abbreviated, there's no way he can wear down a bit in the second half...

Sure, but baseball has always been the most traditional sport about NOT allowing that, compared to NBA, NFL, NASCAR, NHL, world futbol, etc.

Great, we're not quite on a straight downward trend...it's slightly skewed.

The obvious answer? More Twinkies, more energy!!! "How about this...I don't want to hear any more f'ing excuses from the guys. It's August, everyone has aches and pains, we're in the middle of a pennant race, time to grow up, be a man and fight through discomfort for your teammates and fans."

Dallas Keuchel starts are so reminiscent of classic Buehrle ones....the pace is much appreciated. Giolito's on like pitch 75 in the 3rd inning every other time out.

NVM. Back to baseball. Ron's about as fun as a wet blanket, anyway.

How about relocating to KS and assisting Mr. Kobach in his multi-million dollar quest that turned up approximately 29 examples of "abuse/malfeasance" in the last 2-3 decades. Or, better yet, patrolling neighborhoods to make sure roving gangs comprised of Soros-inspired and financially-funded kids aren't 1) stealing ballots from the mail in certain post codes, 2) being paid by ANTIFA to place extra/additional/fake ballots in everyone's mailboxes in other area codes.

Cardinals acting like they won the World Series after sweeping a doubleheader after 17 days off. C'mon. Any reasonable manager who knew how to run a bullpen and keep Detwiler available and not knowing the limitations of Evan Marshall's stuff...and how precise he needs to be in executing his tightrope act out there.

Megyn Kelly says..."No comment."

But isn't THAT the job of each individual hitter to make adjustments? Cue Greg rant that Jim Thome should be constantly bunting down the 3rd base line...and blowing out a hammy or Achilles' busting it down the line.

Like Madrigal at 675-700ish OPS, just not good enough to be a true impact player. There's always that trade off between offense and defense for the majority of players today.

Everyone's life is disappointing after we were 7-4 and on top of the world...briefly.

This reminds me....how we've lost pretty much every single quality female poster in the history of Sox baseball the last couple of decades.

Yeah, we were promised a slightly lesser Manny Ramirez or Miguel Cabrera in terms of hitting impact. That's at least an 875-925 guy in this day and age, but I'd argue 900-950ish.

Instead, White Sox shake the baseball world by signing both his AWOL/opting-out older brother and YOELKIS, and Oscar Colas.

"Sloppy" is really the best you can come up with? You're slipping. Like a certain someone ("from out West"), he evades easily being vulnerable to attack, by being...usually, reasonable/normal/rational/level-headed/mature.

They should have to do the Willie Mays Hayes push-ups on the field for any ball pulled to the same side on the ground...like Wesley Snipes popping up any ball into the air, same guiding principle.

Embittered White Sox fans. Thad Bosley. WDSWF, future Sox GM? Greg, because no advertising impacts parking/souvenir/concessions pricing, indirectly.

THIS. Especially for a team up and coming with high/er expectations than any season since 2013 arguably.

Gee, and it's so clever, because JOSE is, you guessed it, Spanish for Joe/Joseph. (And next we'll have a rousing discussion of immigration and comparisons with US and Cuban health care policy and drug pricing, surely.) As long as he doesn't start quoting from Camp of the Saints in a Game Thread, that's my red line.

Are we really THAT desperate for advertising revenue, Company Man Brooks Boyer? I mean, have some self-respect. How many franchises in baseball would permit THAT? The Mariners? Marlins? Pirates? Royals? Orioles? Tigers?

Nice job by Carlson making the adjustment and pulling his hands in to guide the inside pitch into LF...
