Grand Slam #4, four consecutive games...has to be some type of MLB record. This time Hosmer does the trick, with Machado, Tatis and Austin Hedges on base. Padres' shaky bullpen blows 5-2 lead, becomes 5-6, but France and Hedges both homer, 7-6, Padres in the bottom of the 9th. Padres and White Sox neck and neck for #3/4 for MLB team homers lead.

Ummm...then you’re running a charter school, essentially. These last three sentences don’t seem possible in modern America...where has empathy disappeared to, and compassion for our fellow citizens? Exhaustive, 27 post thread on Wuhan Institute of Virology...coverups, allegations, etc.

And ANOTHER Grand Slam, walk off winner against a "pitching on fumes" (40+ pitches) Montero of the Rangers. This time, by Machado with one down in the bottom of the 9th (Rangers tied it up 2-2 in top of 9th, went ahead 3-2 in top of the 10th.) Tatis walked to load the bases (fouled off a number of good pitches) right b4 Machado hit.

Lance Lynn becomes ONE obvious choice, if you're willing to trade Vaughn $8,000,000 base salary for 2021, $9,333,333 "payroll salary" according to Sportrac. Contract is HUGE bargain based on performance in both 2019 and 2020.

Please tell me that it's not THE Bonifacio playing RF for Los Tigres...?

First read this as "exposed himself to Covid"... first thought, what else can wrong this season? An arrest for indecent exposure, sure, why not?

Wasn't someone on on here talking about their Day jersey they got for pennies on the dollar in the clearout bin?

Sosa now looks like Bela Lugosi or Ed Wood with all that harsh whitening skin foundation/bleaching. He's gone from a panther to the equivalent of a tree sloth.

Or NASCAR driver in Ferrell/John C.O'Reilly/SB Cohen vehicle.

That’s why KyLe is similarly en fuego. Or, to quote Bad Boys 4 Life, Hasta La Fuego. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/tickets?partnerId=zh-20200819-236941-CWS&qid=16&bt_ee=sUPMdeAVaiIRcUmVYidchVYzjEppiUbA4001HO4HMt3cRGAmykO6srBx%2B6klSwiV&bt_ts=1597854418095

But he almost won two WS, is a local hero in KC for buying everyone drinks the night of the clincher and he did stay at a high-quality Holiday Inn Express last night.

Betts for the entire farm system...don’t pass go. Actually, there are roughly ten realistic offseason RF possibilities.

Call me crazy. Stole Mize for fantasy before anyone realized he was up, starting him today. Robert also on team...

https://theathletic.com/2006926/2020/08/19/why-dane-dunning-always-had-the-fortitude-to-make-his-white-sox-debut/?source=dailyemail In a tough University of Florida program that hadn’t offered him until he was a rising high school senior, with A.J. Puk, Alex Faedo and Logan Shore in the rotation, Dane Dunning was working out of the bullpen as a junior, after a rough freshman year and a solid but unspectacular sophomore campaign. His even keel seems perfect now for the pressures of professional baseball and Wednesday’s big-league debut, and especially for coping with over two years of elbow rehab, but at the time some questioned whether the happy and approachable right-hander truly burned to be great. He was still smooth-faced, easily 30 pounds lighter than he is today, and when he wore his now trademark glasses, Dunning still looked 12 years old. Thompson’s friends were a little skeptical. “I said, ‘Listen, guys,'” Thompson recalled in a phone call with The Athletic. “‘Dane is 6-foot-4. He’s young, his arm has not been used that much and he’s throwing 93-94 mph with movement. If you don’t think he’s going in the top two rounds, you’re nuts.'”

If he improves his defense to at least league average, Top 35-50.

Roger Boh-ZARD named the tandem starter for Sox, known to have a green thumb and a knack for tamping down dirt between home and mound... overwatering base paths against mid 80s Royals and Cardinales.
