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.

Soroka on for Burke, 2-0 lead, Vaughn drove in Benintendi. Andrew V. barely clinging to the only plus 700 on team currently, ops now at 703.

Yeah, 49 strikes, 35 balls…a bit wild but 6 k’s and made it through 5 unscored upon. Probably gets to start the sixth, but they might want to leave it there into the offseasom. Just stranded doubled at second with two outs. Crazy low sub 1.50 ERA on the stat sheet for a 120+ win team. Jackson Jobe has also pitched well…but this Sox lineup, sheesh.

Burke really staking a rotation spot for next year, 5 k’s through 3, walks too, but looks like a Cannon 3/4 type potential if he can harness his potential. Ramos homered, #3. No Robert again. Like his repertoire so far.
