4/9 Sox @ Guardians 5:10PM CT
With two strikes/behind in the count...just goes to show anything can happen on any given day. Fourth game with three or more runs of the entire season. Offensive explosion.

Hahaha. Just when betting against the Sox almost seemed like a sure thing. Benintendi a deep drive? What's going on?

Sox looking at building in South Loop
That would go over about as well as as a lead balloon...another billionaire extortion plot. I've burned the franchise down to the ground...so pay me off just to go away. Hostage taking.

Sox now 1-7, on pace for 20-142 record
We have 152 games left,” manager Pedro Grifol said. “The record’s not good. You can’t hide from the record; it’s not good. But how are you not going to stay in a good place mentally when you’ve got 152 games left? If you’re not in a good place mentally, you’re going to have a long season.” “We hit some balls hard, but we’ve still got to hit with runners in scoring position,” Grifol said. “I’ve seen streaks like this on the offensive side. We’ve just got to continue to battle through and get out of it.” mlb.com

Fire Pedro Grifol
Mellody Hobson must be pissed...at least she will be until the new stadium plans are set in stone. That's the ONLY way the team will see any increase in franchise valuation in the coming years.

Texsox keeps flirting with the Astros/Rangers second option I would guess. Another 2-3 more years of this with no hope in sight and you'll see 50% of those remaining fans either go radio silent (like Parkman or SSHM) or start to change their allegiance/s.

Getz and Pedro should go. Product on the field is horrible.
https://jacob-hahn.com/projects/ I'm assuming this is Rick Hahn's kid (the 2008 coin flip winner for home field advantage), currently studying at Rice. WHY WHY WHY wasn't his father reading and involving the White Sox in all this analytical research/analysis, lol? Guess he was just from the wrong generation for keeping up with advances in technology compared to the Millennials. https://jacob-hahn.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/jacob-hahn-resume-april-2024-1.pdf

4/8 Sox @ Cleveland (4:10CT) - Banks vs. McKenzie
More like Merkin/Boyer marketing boilerplate...but even Merkin is starting to get a little bit jaded, you can tell from his writing style during the TLR an now Grifol years. It's definitely going to wear on Stone and his interactions with an increasingly caustic fan base.

4/6 Games
I was JOKING in response to the hyperbolic overreactions on some of his AA/AAA numbers. I have stated, like nearly everyone else, that he needs to stick at SS/3B to maintain his premium value. That's just common sense.

This year is definitely going to be a trial of that axiom.

Marlins losing 6-0 to Yankees, so can't pass them in race to the basekent. quite yet.

Hawk should come back once a week to tell Mantle Ted Williams and 1967 Red Sox stories once a week...just not even say anything about the action on the field. Another week could be golf stories with Paciorek...

Will probably end up missing more games than BenettI.

4/8 Sox @ Cleveland (4:10CT) - Banks vs. McKenzie
Why do you think he has played for so many teams since StL? Why was he traded the very first time when he looked so promising? Just look up "fight over fantasy team" and stabbed outside strip bar at google. Why did the team he played much better than expected for last year not bring him back?
-
4/8 Sox @ Cleveland (4:10CT) - Banks vs. McKenzie
The replacements are guys like Sosa, Colas Remillard...and Max Stassi just had a full year off. Bringing up Montgomery early probably won't even sell any seats. That would be totally ill-advised. Phillips Payton and Ortega? Yikes Yikes Yikes. The Guardians...on the other hand, are pitching right through the loss of Shane Bieber. AL Central fortunate they couldn't get proper trade value for how he looked to start the season this year.

And Greinke, who once said he'd rather be moving lawns at the worst of his personal demons.

So much for the theory of getting any thing back for him this year. See Clevinger/Grandal. Maybe we can trade him back to Boston for Raffaela...?

March ******* (Basketball Thread)
https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39902902/ncaa-women-title-game-most-watched-hoops-game-2019 BRISTOL, Conn. -- South Carolina's victory over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in Sunday's women's NCAA championship game had a preliminary audience average of 18.7 million on ABC and ESPN. The only sporting events in the United States to draw a bigger TV audience since 2019 have been football, the World Cup and the Olympics. The audience numbers are expected to increase when Nielsen releases its final numbers on Tuesday. Nielsen says the audience peaked at 24 million. It's the most-watched basketball game since 2019, when the men's NCAA title game between Virginia and Texas Tech averaged 19.6 million on CBS. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/women-sports-tv-rights-boom-144131791.html

Maybe he's trying to be clever about the Final Four being in town as well...or perhaps he's trying to be a bit too humorous for his own good like Benetti?
