I don't think this is a Tank, I think this is the status quo until Jerry is gone.

Not Toronto, but Winnipeg Canada So for the most part Baseball fans here are Blue Jay fans.

I feel like I have cursed my son with being a White Sox fan. All his friends are Blue Jay fans so he likes the Jays as well. I assume the Jays will overtake the Sox if things don't turn around soon.

Hawk and Wimpy were the best.

Yep, just another in a long line of shortsighted decisions by this franchise.

One more reason to not watch White Sox baseball this year.

So if there any actual information out there about what happens to the Sox after JR eventually passes? I understand his kids would inherit his shares but would they also inherit being Chairman or would the other owners be able to select a new chairman at that point?

Will he chose Dayton Moore or Tony LaRussa?

If the games take to long they should just go to 7 innings. That would really save the pitchers.

They have 2 years to figure out how to get a 1990's AI Hawk Harrelson and Tom Paciorek to call the games.

Do you think JR would have approved another white flag? This is not a defense of Rick Hahn but I would guess that the reason he hasn't been fired is because JR doesn't have any issue with the job he is doing. What other GM is going to come in and try to operate with little to no ability to sign a long term big money contract and also with little investment in scouting and player development. I'm all for showing Hahn the door, but I doubt anything changes if they do.

Tony out, Abreu in.

10 minutes left to switch to sell mode.

JR, TLR, KW, Hahn

So Parkman requests a ban and it is granted but Ron has lost like 10,000 ban bets and hasn't been banned?

I really thought Harold was Kelenic's dad. Now I get why people think this thread is weird.

Really, is that why? I thought Kelenic was his son or something.

TBA = Max Scherzer

Shifting is disrespectful.

I'm sure he will let the league know that he asked Rocco to have someone throw at Yermin. How else was the kid going to get a clue.

Ok, so what is the meaning behind it then? How is someone getting shown up on 3-0 but if you stand with the bat on your shoulder for one pitch then it's all ok. Is allowing the one strike some kind of participation trophy for the pitcher?

So why is it ok on 3-1 and not 3-0. Is there any logic to it or is it just a meaningless relic from the past?

How many of the 557 pitches were thrown by a position player? How many were thrown under 50mph? What are the numbers for 3-0 swings with a 2 run lead or a 5 run lead or a 15 run lead? Also do you have a link to McEwing saying he told Yermin to take? I haven't seen that so if it is out there I would like to see it.

This whole thing is just TLR trying to cover for the fact that he really came out of the dugout to yell at Yermin because the crack of the bat woke him from his nap.

Killer LaRussa impression.
