What made today's game more enjoyable was listening to Len Kasper and A.J. Pierzynski. No, "he hit the daylights out of it", no Nationwide jingle, no SOX Math or Sox Math video.

Cubness, simply Cubness, at least that's what my cub hating friend insists.

Being lucky enough to have heard Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall and Hawk and Wimpy, I find Stone and Benetti lacking. Sure Jason is great at promos and stats but that's all. Stone knows the game but I am tired of his "He hit the daylights out of that ball" repetition. The Nationwide jingle is enough to vote against them.

If you want to look for reasons for the current hitting problems, don't look at the fill ins. Look at Anderson (one hit in four games), and Abreu (two hits in four games). Moncada had three hits. Slumps happen!

Came here to read the Tony hate I figured I would find. I found plenty starting at about page 39. No one criticizing his decisions has returned to give him any credit. Not only did the Sox win a huge confidence game but Marshall and Burr came away feeling really good about themselves.

I am not a big fan of Benetti. That said, I wish they would call Hawk during games sometime and spend an inning getting his thoughts.

Guess the message didn't get to Wes Helms. Adam Engel stole three bases last night.

Collins needs to lose the sunglasses when he bats. Maybe he will find the ball.

Is this your opinion? "90% think he's out" And why tie in Moncada's being called out.

Since this is the TRL thread, Kudos to the old man today. Fielding a get away, tomorrow we have a doubleheader game line up, he completed the sweep. Removed Foster and Ruiz when he should. Replaced Lamb who was having a really bad defensive day. How many thought Grandal was going to pinch hit in the eighth and replace Collins? Tony bats Mercedes who drives in a cushion run, reducing pressure in the 9th. Give Tony credit for a game well played.

I went back and rewatched the 10th inning and listened to see if I had missed Jason Bennetti or Len Kasper question the use of Liam Hendriks as the designated runner at second base. They hadn't questioned it and Kasper told us that was the way it should work. BENNETTI DID'NT KNOW! Being that LaRussa is a American League manager and highly unlikely to have ever thought about a pitcher used in this situation, I find it ludicrous that he is getting so much criticism. My guess is it's coming from those that didn't want Tony to manage the Sox. We lost because we have a couple people on our roster now that couldn't hit their way out of a paper bag.

Crochet's fastball is down 2 or 3 mph recently. I haven't seen any mention of it. Cause for concern or part of a plan? And what's with his pants? He looks like a little leaguer.

Quintana was a snake-bit pitcher with the Sox. He would pitch well and still lose. I was not sad to see him go and don't want him back.

The negativity on the board is laughable.

Now how about the White Sox broadcast on some other midwest radio stations as well. You get about 100 miles from Chicago and you can't listen to a radio broadcast anywhere. You can't buy Sox gear either, only Cubs and Cards.

I haven't been to this forum for a long time and the first thread I read, I encounter this sat pissing contest. Name calling and nonsense. Knock it off guys. The White sox signed Mazarra to hit home runs and drive in runs. He was a dismal failure of a signing. He had a total of seven extra base hits in 42 games. He hit the same number of home runs Yolmer Sanchez hit in his 16 games. He should not and will not return.

A winning team needs to be strong up the middle. The rebuilding White Sox will need to be strong at shortstop and catcher. Maybe Zack or Seby will progress at catcher but I don't see a shortstop in the organization good enough.
