Frank Thomas or Walt Hrniak...if he’s still alive, haha. Thome? Konerko or Ventura seem unlikely... He’s actually “only” 75.

But that will destroy the economy and take profits out of the hands of shareholders...lowering executive suite bonuses. Capitalism now, capitalism forever!

In China, my wife has 2+ weeks of official holidays and at least two weeks of summer vacation time...so up to 3 weeks after a certain period of time working, I’m pretty sure 15 years...to earn an extra week.

Well, that’s his natural side...he learned hitting LH second to appease his father. But he hasn’t hit well with better splits from there since 2015 in mostly A ball.

That’s the year he struck out the most, that’s all...

Well, they had lost five in a row...coming off the devastating four game sweep and Sunday night’s relief debacle against Boston.

He would cost you Cease and Dunning...

“Republicans have won while clinging tighter and tighter to their base and convincing us to stray from ours. t’s time for us to remember that universal college education, trade school, a federal jobs guarantee, a universal basic income, were not all proposed in 2016. They were proposed in 1940, by the Democratic president of the United States," said Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. James Thompson won in Kansas, Welder in Kansas (not exactly a"liberal" state)...and three of the AOC Michigan candidates were Muslim, so it would have taken...well, basically a miracle, in this current age of hate and division, for them to win. Interestingly, the candidate who was in the lead 2-3 weeks ago in the gubernatorial race was Indian-Amererican, but he finished third, behind Sayed. Btw Reddy, when do you think it will be possible for candidates with names like Sayed, Saad and Tlaib to win in America? 2025? 2030? 2050? They only lost because of their progressive beliefs? Hmmm... And don't say Keith Ellison or Andre Carson, their names doesn't exactly sound Islamic. Finally, hope you’re paying attention to the union dues vote in MO, and the margins. Clinton and Obama have as much to do with their disintegration as almost anyone but Reagan. It’s also a large reason that quadrant of the Heartland...SE Minnesota, SW Wisconsin, NE Iowa and western Illinois turned to Trump. 40 years of unions losing their jobs and bargaining power vis a vis American MNC’s. And Missouri is more conservative than it is liberal...basically the whole state after StL, KC and Columbia.

https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/SO_season.shtml Now we’re going to have to relive the Adam Dunn years, haha. Luckily for Kenny Williams, Mark Reynolds has the modern-day MLB strikeout record, 223 to 222. Only five players over 2000 in history. Reynolds (3), Dunn, Chris Davis (2), C.Carter (2, former Sox farmhand), Aaron Judge and Drew Stubbs. Kris Bryant is 11th at 199 (2015). Tim Anderson had 162 last year, good for 154th All-Time. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/white-sox/yoan-moncada-has-lot-strikeouts-and-white-sox-think-baseballs-umpires-might-be-partially Currently at 160 k’s in 105 games (tied for 171st)...or 1.53 per game, so he’s as of today on pace to break the record unless they sit him or place him at the bottom of the order. At any rate, that would put him on pace to break the record with 7-8 games left to spare (he’s also missed 9 games, I think one for discipline and the rest for DL stint, or his hamstring bothering him a bit when he returned, can’t remember.) Staying on exact course, he will compile 235. I don’t think Hahn’s going to allow that to happen...or can afford to, really. Adam Dunn was limited to 177 in that mythic 2011 debut campaign with the Sox, btw. His worst year was actually the team’s best in recent years, 2012.

Steverson will probably be fired to cover for the backslides of Anderson and Moncada offensively...and Davidson/Yolmer to a lesser extent.

Where the hell was that call? Awful.

Of course, their defense and pitch selection are going to be slightly different had Anderson successfully bunted there, too...no way of knowing what theoretically would have happened. The only thing that's certain is Anderson sucks at bunting.

Shades of Aaron Rowand have a highlights-filled series in NYC a LONG time ago...

Fun to at least have a competitive game...White Sox just haven't been able to manufacture any runs tonight....clutch hitting for both teams, lacking.

Probably with 10-15 pitchers over 89 mph...the curse of the junkball throwing lefty strikes again, although CC will eventually go into the HoF, in all likelihood.

Not to mention Yolmer and Davidson. The only cheers are for some of our pitchers, Abreu/Avi/Palka/Narvaez (not defensively) and Engel's getting some short-lived career highlights before he ends up in the minors again, someday.

This is getting to be pretty embarrassing...they definitely need to sit him for a game? Who's pitching tomorrow? Severino? That could be a disaster or get him started, who knows...?

Nailbiter in Ohio...about 200 votes separating O'Connor and Balderson with 91% of the vote in. Just like the Lamb and Jones elections, going down to the wire. Trump won that district by 10-11% I think. Ooops, now trailing by 700 with only 5% of the precincts left to report.

Hitting 99 late in a game is Verlander or peak-Colon like.

99 and then the 83-84 mph slider....great job recovering from that situation, very impressive! Would have gone offspeed after 3 FB's, but maybe that was too obvious.

So much for Sanchez's elite defense this season...maybe he's just not meant to be an everyday player, really seems to be wearing down. Might as well just give Davidson the last 7 weeks and see if he can turn things around offensively.

Well, you pretty much know something bad will happen when you have an offensive inning like that....

Did Garcia have a really bad call on the outside that should have been a walk? Or marginal? And can someone teach Tim how to think situationally, please...?

What about Razz Ma Tazz? Anyone have that in their hometown? Maybe it’s only a Quad Cities deal.

Republicans become deeply offended when you suggest that their party is in the process of adopting a white nationalist agenda, and that many of their voters are motivated by xenophobia. No no, they say, we acknowledge that America is a nation of immigrants; we just want a secure border and all the laws to be enforced. We welcome legal immigrants; it’s illegal immigration we have a problem with. But then you get something like this, as reported by NBC’s Julia Ainsley: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2018/08/07/trump-and-stephen-miller-are-now-targeting-legal-immigrants-and-it-will-get-uglier/?utm_term=.912639252b0c Can we do the same thing with Trump’s staff?
