Haven't heard of a Neftali since Perez. It was really hard to even get three seats together...purchased with Visa card through assistance of hotel concierge workers who actually left the hotel to assist me (only 3800 yen so must be pretty high up). Unfortunately, no tipping allowed in JPN, but can give small thoughtful gifts like a shoehorn or umbrella for superior customer service. Just saw the infamous Hachiko (Akita) dog statue here in Shibuya...yesterday, mostly shopping near Ginza and attempting to learn the quote complex train and subway system Tokyo is famous for, ever since the 1960s/70s.

Have tickets for BayStars/Yomiuri Giants on Sat night at the Tokyo Dome. Will be interesting experience to watch a game with 55,000 in attendance...although not much of a domed stadium fan.

Scheduling. Looks like nine other teams out of action. Doesn't really make sense with the opportunity to have an excellent Monday crowd for once.

But it doesn't matter quite so much to Boston because of how small LF is there...see Manny Ramirez, for example. Sill think the White Sox completely miss on the marketing side. Harper vs. Machado...for example. Never gave it a serious shot with the latter and paid an even higher price to the rebuild's momentum crumbling. Benintendi Grandal Lynn Keuchel all had/have negligible value in terms of putting butts in seats. All things being equal or caveat emptor...since it's essentially a business of entertainment...but the White Sox have just never had a cohesive or coherent vision in terms of team building.

Minus the two really strong individual seasons from Eaton and Avisail...

Christine O'Reilly-Riordan begins her 35th season with the White Sox and her third as Vice President of Community Relations/Executive Director of Chicago White Sox Charities after being promoted to the position in February 2015.

As they went through two miscarriages when he was attempting to come back from multiple injuries, including TJ. Also talks a bit about mental health problems in Covington, IN, wife Ashley's hometown. Didn't realize he spent so much time there. https://www.yahoo.com/news/mental-physical-battles-molded-carlos-093000681.html

OF Masataka Yoshida, Red Sox Feels a little silly to list multiple Red Sox since they sit fifth in the AL East, but Yoshida has done nothing but get on base since the moment he arrived at Fenway Park from Japan. His .377 OBP ranks fifth in the AL, pairing it with a .305 average and a respectable 17 doubles. yahoo.com/sports 8 All Star snubs

Which was one of the most exciting seasons for Sox fans in nearly a decade...the 1990 team in the final season of Old Comiskey. That Himes firing had absolutely zero to do with performance and all to do with personality clashes.

Extension....

What did Sheets do that time?

Wade 11 for his last 28...Remillard of their team. Bringing in Bummer now?

Beckham...nice jinx on praising Robert's at-bat. Complete momentum shift in this one.

Two more runs there...and game would gave been over for all intents and purposes.

This is insane. Hahn showing he once again has no clue. Hopefully Sox compensate Shaw's UBER driver after the cross country Charlotte to SFO flight.

Poor Bryan Shaw about to come into this one...not exactly how Doubleday and Cartwright imagined it.

The White Sox love to bring untalented cronies on board who won't threaten their positions or rock the boat. It's hard to believe canning him would be a sufficient scapegoat to pacify anyone, unless there was an implicit guarantee they were going outside the organization finally for new leadership.

https://www.mlb.com/player/masataka-yoshida-807799 Yoshida has been an 850-925 OPS hitter for the majority of the first half. It doesn't do much good for Benintendi to even be on the Sox roster in future years if they start executing a tear down. Low 700s OPS corner outfielders with marginal power and below average throwing arms don't exactly shout out "biggest contract in franchise history level worth."

Both. The problem is Sheets Grandal Anderson and Andrus also need to go, too. Season wise, Burger and Benintendi are both pretty close statistically, but Andrew one of the best hitters over the last month and Burger one of the worst.

You mean trade aging productive players that are about to get more expensive and hit their decline phase for cheaper/better. Unfortunately...not a Hahn strength. And you can totally remove from the realm of imagination Lucas Giolito getting the Jose Berrios Toronto deal from the Sox.

Even for the Village of Bedford Park.

That's going to take away 25-30% of Benetti's material second half. Now down to concessions item promotions.
