Then you’d have to do the same for Shoeless Joe Jackson… “Rose recently was the subject of an HBO documentary about his life on and off the field, including his ban from baseball for betting on the game. In an interview with The Enquirer in June, Rose reflected on that life, the consequences of his gambling and his own mortality. “What, are they waiting for me to die?” Rose said of his chances of getting into the Hall of Fame. “Wouldn’t that be horrible if I died next week and then next year they reinstated me?” Rose's legacy also was on his mind in his last post on the social media site X on Sept. 21. The man known to fans as Charlie Hustle wrote about his grandson, a baseball player at La Salle High School, who'd recently been featured in a Philadelphia newspaper article. "Couldn't be more proud of my grandson," Rose wrote. "Keep hustling with La Salle baseball. The #Rose legacy lives on." yahoo.com/sports

Yordan Alvarez isn’t even a 7 time All Star and he’s the best young hitter the Dodgers traded away…

https://www.sfgate.com/giants/article/sf-giants-fire-farhan-zaidi-19790318.php It brings an end to Zaidi’s heavily-criticized tenure after almost six seasons in charge, which have mostly been marked by disappointment, as the Giants missed the playoffs five times. Speculation about Zaidi’s job status has been rampant for months and ratcheted up last week after a bombshell report from The Athletic last Sunday said Buster Posey got involved in the club’s negotiations with Matt Chapman. Now, Zaidi is out and Posey is taking over, Giants chairman Greg Johnson said in the press release announcing Zaidi's departure.

Banned. Good job rallying all to the Cubs this year…though. Jose Abreu probably has a big wad of chew in right now, somewhere in the world.

Unless it’s with the Royals…

Drafted Vaughn over that guy….must be a twisted joke.

https://nypost.com/2024/09/30/sports/mets-clinch-playoff-spot-on-francisco-lindors-ninth-inning-home-run/ Watching Lindor and Steve Cohen celebrating together…it’s almost hilarious the Mets ever since the offseason went out of their way to say it was a retooling year while the White Sox didn’t even have the luxury of wasting a season. Then for poor Guardians fans…you just never ever get to see a fair fight because of the economics of the sport, Jose Ramirez and Lindor vs. the world.

Missed postseason 5 of the last 6 years and too expensive…would never have a generous budget in Chicago going forward.

Robert being able to leave the organization and reach his true potential with another coaching/development staff.

Cleveland won the Central division by a lot and has a playoff bye, KC WC along with the Tigers, who can ALSO heartily thank the White SOX.

That's VERY VERY optimistic. Even if they moved Schultz, Montgomery and Quero up to the big leagues, you might have only gotten a bump of 2-3 games, at best, IMO. As it is/was, most of those younger players proved not to be ready on the position player side. We did get really impressive results out of Burke late, that's one reason to be encouraged, but he's simply replacing Thorpe IMO until we see proof otherwise. The only way they would have had that 10 game jump would be if someone like Clase, Helsley or Mason Miller was the closer all season long.

All eyes on ATL. Braves trail 4-2 going to bottom of the the 8th down South against KC. Heart of the order.

Ohtani to 59 steals fyi gets at least one more at bat probably. Was backed to third before he could steal it. JR not interested though.

And now Fletcher over 200. Cause for celebration? Or we have to watch him for another year now? Counting down minutes to the end of the Moncada/Kopech Fever Dreams Era of Sox baseball.

Lee and Ramos almost identical ops numbers but finishing with over a 200 BA is something...I guess.

Hopefully that gives Ramos something to build upon for next season...Sosa too, although have earned the right to be skeptical.

Nobody over 700 on lineup now. Robert with 23 steals will be a selling point on a cut rate trade...

How many phones are ringing for 2025 season ticket orders? Spoke way too soon about that victory…lol. Temporarily forgot how many “come from ahead” losses the Sox have had this season already.

As predicted, not going to expose himself to live questions at an actual press conference. We don’t even quite have a clear worst team record at 41-121 for Sox vs. 40-120-1 for the 62 Mets. Almost identical. Not buying any of this until we see what happens with Crochet Robert Benintendi, etc. Also seems Grady doesn’t have a shot unless it’s a total smokescreen.

https://www.mlb.com/player/ryan-burr-621114 Ryan Burr made it back to mlb with Blue Jays this season, starting final game against Burger’s Marlins’ team.

Are the Mets 40-120 or 40-120-1? Seen it listed both ways. By the way have yourself a season Jose Ramirez...the quietest 40/40 of he manages it. 39 homers. Carries that offense.

Cheering for the loss record at home must have galvanized team in common opposition to derision and mockery.

Never in a billion years would have put Benintendi down for 20 homers and right there with Vaughn and over Robert. Trade trade trade...just not on the back of Crochet.
