Phillies up 5-0, going for a 4-game sweep of the Braves. If they win, the Giants move up to #1. They begin a 4-gamer with the A's tonight.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 12:00 PM) White Sox have 6 open spots on the 40 man. Is Cordell on the 40-man? He was on the Brewers, so I assume that means he should be on the Sox now too.

They could bring up Lopez, Giolito, Fulmer, and Danish. Do tandem starts, and let the chips fall where they may.

17 hours to go. One more, Rick. Miguel Gonzalez.

Ventura had only been off the DL for a week before the deadline. He broke his ankle that spring training. I doubt there was a market for him then.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 05:39 PM) I'd say we have a better than 50% chance to end up with #1 overall. Can't see this club winning more than 20 more games. Agreed. I'm thinking 5-15 the next 20, then 15-25 the final 40 when the Sox are playing for pride, and other teams are playing out the string or getting ready for the playoffs themselves--like the Indians the final weekend.

The Sox finish the week with the 3rd pick position. The bad teams through 102: Phi 38-64 SF 39-63 Sox 40-62 Cin 41-61 Oak 44-58 SD 45-57 Det 46-56

Blue Jays come to town scoring 7 in the 9th, to win 11-10.

Reds won. Phillies lead off double tied in the 9th.

Beltre double for 3000

Adrian Beltre due up 3rd next inning.

Moncada just needs to play, but yeah, he's got some ways to go. He'll get there.

I'll be that guy- I'm glad the cheater is gone and I dont have to see him hug the opponent during games anymore.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 02:03 PM) Nice deal. A couple interesting guys that may be a part of the Sox pen in the future. No complaints here. Guessing that is the last trade before the deadline but wouldn't be shocked to see Gonzo go. Agreed about Gonzalez. I think he's the last one that could happen. There could be a couple waiver deals too. Looking forward to seeing Lopez and Giolito soon.

Cmon Carlos. 6 good innings.

Hopefully the players remaining know this is part of the process, and their job is to be professional and play hard, otherwise somebody else is going to take their position.

I have my hands above my head, clapping.

2-17 the last 19. If they go better than 5-15 the next 20, I'd be surprised. They're going to lose around 105.

Phils win

And now they play three innings in which they have no chance.

Phillies are going to win.

Jeff Gelalich...and you are?

Go Holland?

Without a clear cut #1, the thought of the Sox having the pick is a scary proposition. But I hope they get it.

It comes down to this... Will the White Sox play five games worse than the Phillies the final 63 games? I'm thinking the answer is "probably".
