Now Jay Cuda pulling up Mexican cartel dead bodies from kaotic.com to emphasize Sox ineptitude lol.

Orioles doing their best to stop Eddie Rodriguez in Grayson Rodriguez start. 1-1 tie Bottom 8th in Baltimore. Twins and Guardians winning...

Any young player in a Boston or Yankees' jersey looks better than reality...

Another false bill of goods sold to fans. Somewhere between 6-8 hits prevented by Rays' fielding. Congrats to TB on 13-0 at home and almost selling out that 25000 seat stadium. Sweep Sox ignominiously out of town. Crickets in Sox marketing and sales departments.

What are the current betting odds on the Sox winning their first series? Mid May? Looked like @ Cincy in the offseason but not so sure anymore. Might be the Twins. Nah.

Job creators. Nearly everyone can become a billionaire real estate baron...

Bringing Beckham into the booth and then being in process of losing Benetti and Stone just two more examples of where this organization is unavoidably headed the next 2-3 years. Like the Titanic cornering in the North Atlantic. Pete Fairbanks coming in for yet another save.

How many times has Gordon Beckham mentioned competitive or professional at bats? Or lack thereof. He and Viciedo had more than their share of non competitive ones back in the day.

Not a competitive throw from Sheets in the OF lol.

Tim Anderson and his JC basketball and baseball time the closest success story to tout there. Trayce Thompson years later with the Dodgers lol. Semien had that time at Cal and still didn't develop with the Sox. Beckham and Borchard were total busts. I really believe that Courtney Hawkins miss scared them off high schoolers for 5-7 years.

Follow where the money is being spent in the payroll and ROI-fWAR for those guys. Obviously Hendricks being out is crippling the pen...for one. Moncada and Benintendi. Lynn. Jimenez and Anderson, etc. Bloated payroll. Don't have a full roster. Rays are just putting on a showcase of top-flight MLB defense on turf.

Mark Grace and Olerud come to mind...John Mabry another.

Agreed... and lack of minor league developmental time/normal progression. Burger looks great on defense. Giolito saved the bullpen big time and just made a couple of mistakes against a team playing out of their minds and virtually unbeatable at home now.

Carlos Martinez Jr. had quite a solid run there after leaving Sox with a plethora of injuries. Rangel Ravelo even contributed lol. Jordan Walker now looks awesome. McEwing must be elated to return to Cardinals' Nation. Losing Luis Robert Jr. to the Sox and the Oscar Taveras tragedy has hardly derailed that franchise.

Greg775? Ed Farmer? Jesus... Rays' pen like a knife through butter, Sox have pretty much just given up winning the game at this point. Acquiescing...

Things would be even worse with Vaughn blocked (forced to trade) AND Benintendi deal. Really think the entire team fed off Liam's emotions, dominance/competitive desire. Lopez shakiness undermining the whole team... not that it should affect players but psychology or mindset of a team is critical. Everyone also knows Giolito's and TA7's days with the team are numbered.

Will just aggravate Moncada's back injury lol. We supposedly moved on from Jimenez and Sheets in the outfield I thought?

Baldelli? Siffredi?

Don't forget Crochet...Diekman is holding his spot warm for now.

Then there's pretty much no reason to follow a team when any hope of positive changes is completely extinguished. What is Hahn's vision for a plan to solve or address the multiple issues across this organization?

Entire division will be at .500 or below if today's score trends continue.

Because Hahn is the easiest scapegoat with TLR gone and JR an absentee landlord who seems totally out of the loop at this point.

They will eventually succeed with another organization lol... 3-5 years from now. Meatballs are the fans for believing every year that one of the rookies will actually hit the ground running with a seamless transition to the big leagues.

"Shirley served as assistant scouting director to Nick Hostetler, who was promoted to special assistant to the general manager with a focus on Major League scouting as announced by the team in July. So, don’t look for the White Sox Draft philosophy to change a great deal under Shirley.... Garrett Guest, who also was an assistant scouting director under Hostetler, and national crosschecker Nathan Durst will continue to play an important role in Chicago's Draft preparation. That groundwork already has begun, with Shirley centering his theory for success on a team of people needed to make this White Sox team even stronger. “I’m a testament you can work hard and get where you want to get,” Shirley said. “We have great people who will be sitting in my chair one day who are out doing what I did for years. It’s awesome. It’s exciting to be part of a White Sox family I care about and get a chance to lead these people. I’m looking forward to it." mlb.com Not exactly comforting they want to continue carrying on anything to do with Hostetler's tutelage... he was awful but still received the Buddy Bell lifetime promotion upstairs.

He was actually a SS originally...then moved around because of the presence of Xander Bogaerts and eventually Tim Anderson with the Sox.
