Gonzalez is tough to watch; I'm glad we traded him twice, but he is like a bad penny.

Can Tim Anderson be our Alex Gordon/Jason Heyward?
Sometimes, if a guy boots one, some fans will remember it for a long time, forgetting all the good plays. Abreu at first is a good example. He gets blasted here for sub par defense, but that was a very good play he made in the ninth inning last night. That had two bases written all over it. Abreu played it perfectly and made the tough out. Two minutes later, game over. Even the KC announcers gave him kudos for the play.

Can Tim Anderson be our Alex Gordon/Jason Heyward?
I don't get the criticism for Timmy at short. He makes all the plays and then some. Plus, he can hit and run the bases. So what if he has had 2 errors in this crazy season.

Just like last year, we will have a gaping hole at DH.

7/28 Sox/Indians Double Header thread
That at bat by EE will probably be the worst one of the year. He looked useless.

Who else hates Mike Wilbon on PTI
Both of the PTI guys are good. It's the only sports show that's worth a shit, IMO.

Extra Inning Rule
Owners aren't in this thread. That explains the stupidity of the rule.

7/26 GT - Twins at Sox - 1:10pm
Stick Leury in the outfield, bring up Madrigal. (If Eloy is out)

7/25 GT - Twins at Sox - 1:10pm
RR did not want to hurt Grandal's feelings by not starting him on Opening Day. He could have just switched catchers, Too easy. Or, he could have switched pitchers and have Keuchel start the opener, but then Gio's feelings might be hurt. Can't have that either.

Sox Summer Camp Catch All Thread
I like today's White Sox lineup better than those hobos we threw out there that day.

Do we like this or hate this
Yes. Reminds me of those old radio broadcasts of away games in the early 1950's. WCFL, IIRC. Broadcasters did not travel with the team, and the studio guy read the results of each pitch from a teletype or whatever, with fake noise. Announcer's name was Bob Finnegan, I believe. Don't ask me how I remember stuff like that. Bob Elson did the home games, of course.

Would you trade for Mookie Betts, and what would you trade
I would much rather have Mookie compared to Machado and Harper. Not even close.

Interesting Ozzie quote on Cooper...revisits Castro quote
Both Ditka and Ozzie disliked Mariotti, and a lot of people in Denver did, too. Then, ESPN canned him. Is he still in the business?

Moncada, Ruiz placed on 10-day IL
Good questions. I can only assume that this enables them to bring 2 guys up from Taxi Squad.
