Lip Man 1

The plan is to keep making money. May I suggest that your personal plan should be to outlive current ownership and hope for better times.

I know what you are saying but we both know that was total BS on JR's part, he was lying to try to appease the fan base.

7th time this year the Sox had a lead in the 7th inning or later...and lost. Second time Kopech has been directly responsible. Another day, another loss on their way to 110 or so.

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out the door Iloy.

Somehow this got through security last night and was shown. Although after about :30 seconds it was confiscated:

On Phan's fly ball no one was on base.

Brebbia has turned into another typical garbage Sox signing hasn't he? 0-3...ERA over six.

Didn't know that, when did they change that rule? Do you know?

You are correct it is irrelevant. Just like this entire season so it is not even worth the trouble is it? ?

There is absolutely no way the Sox keep him after the season, just can not see it happening.

I can't tell you if the Sox insisted on Iloy or what. But I was told that after the fact and when his injuries started happening on a regular basis Hahn found out the Cubs were basically laughing at him for taking him in the first place and he got royally pissed when he heard about the dissing by them around other baseball people. Maybe they knew something the Sox didn't pick up on?

If an appeal was somehow granted the entire game wouldn't be replayed, it would resume at the spot of the incorrect call. And it wouldn't matter, the Sox would lose the game anyway.

Only in the World of the White Sox. And this just continues a decades-long string of bizarre, unusual and mind-numbing plays/situations that have happened when playing the Orioles.

In DVS's Sun-Times story last night Grifol said he is going to keep playing him but in a month or two (direct quote) he may have to reevaluate.

I think there's some truth to your comment. Human nature being what it is and given the Sox atrocious record they aren't going to get the benefit of the doubt.

“You look at the numbers, I’m the one of unluckiest hitters in the league right now. --Andrew Benintendi. And in DVS's story Grifol says he's going to keep playing him regardless.

They won't eat his salary and pay him for doing nothing, JR doesn't like that. But come shortly after the season ends "he gone!"

Well I guess turnabout is fair play. Remember this: August 24, 2008 – One thing White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski had going for him was his brain. A.J. was always thinking, always trying to get into the heads of the opposition and always willing to try something to gain an advantage. On this day his quick thinking directly led to the Sox winning a game, in the middle of a pennant race, that perhaps they shouldn’t have. The Sox were tied with Tampa Bay 5-5 in extra innings when A.J. led off with a single. He was on second when Jermaine Dye hit a ground ball to the Rays Jason Bartlett. Pierzynski broke on contact and was caught in a run down. However obstruction would wind up being called on third baseman Willy Aybar by umpire Doug Eddings when A.J. stuck his arm out and made contact with Aybar after he had already made a throw. The ruling was that even though Pierzynski initiated the contact it was the responsibility of Aybar to get out of the way. A.J. was awarded third base and eventually scored the winning run on a single by Alexei Ramirez.

Blame ownership.

Well that's six losses in the last seven games. Bad call or not, the Sox weren't winning the game anyway. I don't know if I can blame Vaughn for stupid base running...oh what the hell maybe I should anyway, it is so White Sox! ?
