Passan has probably spent 6 minutes watching the White Sox this year. We could write a book on the causes of the white sox failure, and he thinks it's because no 9-figure contract signing. He's a dope. So, if we had signed Stanton for 9 figures, and Soso for 9 figures, and one of the Met pitchers for 9 figures, would we be winning? No. His 9-figure cause is way too simplistic. He's on TV working for ESPN. That whole network is full of dopes.

Yep, he's hitting a ton.

That's not why the franchise sucks. Passan is as shallow as Lake Erie.

Will we ever know?

I'll never forget the post you made about 20 years ago about why you would want the gig as GM, and why you would be good at it. Very well-written, to say the least. Do you happen to have a copy of that? I would like to re-read it.

Nina Simone. My all time favorite. The High Priestess of Soul. Thanks.

With all of the God Given Talent that Moncada is blessed with, it just defies a logical explanation.

One of the worst third base plays in a long time.

Hire Jason.

Thread of the year.

The old Seattle arena was a nightmare.

Sox might have a chance to win tomorrow night with Clevenger on the bump. They had no chance tonight. Zero.

yes.

When will Grandal get his timing back?

Nope. He wants the MLB pension.

On the subject of bad owners in sports, it's tough to beat Cleveland's Ted Stepien.

If things get worse in the next couple of years, and if Jerry doesn't die, both of which are possible, I wonder if the word "contraction" will get used by some reporter.

YEP, even if Sox score 7 in the 8th inning, they'll lose by double figures.

Moncada had numbers like that in his first minor league season.

At least there is a slight rebellion against crime ridden cities and their policies. Oakland, for example, is trying to recall its DA, who ran on a soft on crime agenda and was elected.

Well stated. I'm pulling for Eder, too.

Jake Eder is his name. He started for Birmingham yesterday. It wasn't pretty. 3.1 innings, 5 or 6 runs, lots of hits and walks. ERA in AA is over 6.

Stone was on the air after the inning ending catch by the fight fielder.

Mariners coming to town looking for bloody sweep.

Beni has poor throwing arm. When Tovar stretched the single to a double, it was all set up by inability to throw a fastball to second base.
