https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/36294...9426432/photo/1 The best part- lose when nobody is watching. Last 57 games... 16-41. With 57 games left, if they match that, they also match the 1970 team at 56-106. #TheRoadToRodon

The Sox are in a position now where they can't afford to give 3-4 year contracts to guys in their 30's. It's gotta be young guys and veterans on 1-2 year contracts, while they try to rebuild the farm system. Lean times ahead, but they have to pay the price for doing it wrong the last five years.

I'm just going to blame Darryl Boston like it's 1988.

Axelrod ran out of fairy dust. That dude is toast.

June 8-19 July 8-18 It's been a while since the Sox were this bad.

Love it. #2

BROHIO!! TOMMY BAHAMA!

Marlins win. road to beede

Until Garcia is up, I'm taking a watching hiatus. I did catch the rundown earlier though. That was special.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:41 PM) Keith Law had been saying he had played a lot of 2B this year Yeah, I thought he was a SS only guy. Actually 37 games at low-A this year...30 at 2B, and 7 at SS.

Rondon and Anderson teammates at Kannapolis. Can't have two SS.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:25 PM) Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 18m Rios on not being moved at deadline: "I'm cool staying here. I like this place." Alex Rios might be my least favorite Sox player with some talent ever.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:26 PM) 9am? Yes. Mac & Spiegel show.

Rick Hahn on 670 tomorrow after the 9am update.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:16 PM) Now that the deadline is over, there's only one thing left to do..."Lose this whole f'n thing" Got a nice buffer zone for at least the 3rd pick going.

I think we've entered 1986-1989. Draft well.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 02:59 PM) I do not like Rick Hahn. I feel sorry for Rick Hahn. He inherited this crap.

That captain question was in jest, I believe.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 02:46 PM) It would be very, very dumb for us to just let him go to save money. He's a good player that will have value at the next deadline if we're not doing well next year I don't think it would be dumb at all. If some team wants to take on his 12.5 mil, the Sox can lose games with or without him.

Pretty obvious teams aren't giving up anything for Rios. Hopefully a team will just claim him in August and they can get the payroll cleared. But even then, I'll believe it when I see it.

Hayes: Alex Rios seated at a table in #WhiteSox clubhouse. Looks pretty calm with deadline 24 minutes away.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 02:24 PM) My favorite part about Rios is that he really brings out the mouth-breather in fans. I can only imagine this must be what it's like to be a Bears fan. If you don't get what you want. Hold on to him and trade him next deadline when he will have more value. Yeah, that'll happen.

On Rios...just get this bum out of town. If a team will take him in any form, just do it.

It would be sad if Konerko's last game with the Sox is the 100th loss of the season. I hope he gets traded to a team that could win, or if he wanted to take an early exit and retire, I wouldn't have a problem with it. He deserves better than to be on team like this.
