Lip Man 1

Lost in this corpseball performance tonight was this little nugget: "Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo, who entered with a 10.80 ERA, struck out a career high nine batters." If these guys aren't embarrassed by that nothing will impact or affect them. ?

One word describes the entire White Sox organization from ownership on down... GARBAGE.

Only in the world of the White Sox. Hope the front office is enjoying the show!

He's not even close to Aparicio who was one of the finest defensive shortstops in history and really "changed the game" by bringing back the lost art of the stolen base. He led the American League in that category for nine consecutive seasons. TA pardon the expression, "can't make a pimple on his rear end" as my dad used to say.

I appreciate your sentiments but it would be a lot easier to make heads or tails out of this if you'd use paragraphs.

But in his mind remember "I'm the best player on the field..." LOL. As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon..."

They can't let go because it would be an admission of a rebuild failure and their ego's won't allow that.

Sandy also worked with pitchers in the Rangers organization but refused to wear a Texas uniform.

All of a sudden these clowns are only three games out of first. ?

Would be very interested to read more about the Einhorn/body guards story. Do you have any links?

Yet the GM figured he didn't need to get any starting pitching depth (Guess it doesn't really matter though with this team/season)

Why should anyone be surprised after last season, this off-season and the cancellation of Sox Fest. Hope it continues, Sox fans shouldn't waste their money on this incompetent organization/team.

Saw on Twitter a post from the MLB Trade Rumor site that says Rosenthal today has a story out that the only players the Sox would consider trading are the guys who will become free agents at the end of the year. If they are a "non-rental" player the Sox are leaning towards keeping them.

The Sox have been "baseball-stupid" in regards to fundamentals for years. Every year we hear/read the same crap in spring training, "we're working on it," "we're devoting a lot of time to fundamentals." But when they season starts the stupidity comes to the forefront. Nothing changes.

June 16, 1997 - After numerous charity and exhibition games, the Sox and Cubs played for real for the first time in the regular season when they met at the new Comiskey Park. Since then, the two teams have played each other every season multiple times. After playing each other four times in 2022 the Sox had a 73-65 advantage in the regular season meetings.

Here's the stat that matters and basically it is the only one : 30-39 going into Thursday night. Rebuild is a failure, time for massive changes in the players on the roster and the people in the front office.

Echoes a lot of what I've been told and written about. Regarding Kenny different people have told me his deal is up either this year or next year then he is retiring.

DVS of the Sun-Times confirms Moncada back to the IL list. I wonder how this will impact Sox decisions in the future regarding their players participating in the WBC. Grifol said earlier this year his back was screwed up by the long, round the world flights from Arizona to Taiwan, Taiwan to Miami and Miami back to Arizona. Another one bites the dust.

Very true.

You probably don't need to worry about Jerry selling based on the story I wrote last August. Link is in a post above. The tax hit is significant around 200 million dollars.

Anything is possible but I suspect the chances of the Sox being moved are small, very small. To much money at stake in the 3rd biggest market (shared or not) in the U.S. Far to many lucrative advertising, broadcasting and sponsorship opportunities here. You aren't going to get the same value say in Portland, Salt Lake City, Charlotte or Montreal.

It doesn't pass if it is written into his will. I have no idea if this is the case or not but I'm inclined to think it is given how strongly and repeatedly he has stated his intentions for the future. And yes, he will not sell while he is alive (barring completely unexpected events) because of the tax hit. https://www.southsidesox.com/2022/8/29/23325369/jerry-reinsdorf-selling-chicago-white-sox-not-on-his-life Regarding Michael, anything is possible but I have never heard anyone tell me that he has expressed any interest in refuting his dad's wishes and taking control of the club. His dad has made it clear, sell the Sox because in his words "they don't make money." (Where the Bulls do). The Sox of course, DO make money, a lot of it but that is JR's take.

As DVS of the Sun-Times wrote just a few days ago, this was the 16th time since Eloy came up that he has missed time with injuries. At least four of those injuries that I recall, took place with him trying to play the outfield and landed him on the IL with ankle or leg issues.

No question a losers mentality has spread throughout this entire organization. Since the start of the 2007 season they have had five winning years, one .500 season and 10 losing ones (soon to be 11)

My sources as explained in the past all are connected to the White Sox organization in a professional way sometimes for decades. The individuals I've spoken with and developed a relationship over the years don't have an ax to grind, they see what is taking place. You can believe what they are saying or not...completely up to you. But you can't dismiss what has been happening on and off the field for the past several seasons now with an organization that is so dysfunctional they don't even want to face the fan base at Sox fest. My comment about how he is feeling as stated is my own impression which I made clear. But if you are interested here is one of the comments about TA I was told from the people inside and outside the organization that I spoke with this past October and published in November: Question: Is there hope for the season? “It could happen, maybe there’s a 5% chance this front office could get it right. But first the front office has to admit they made mistakes. The catcher (Yamani Grandal), third baseman (Moncada) and shortstop (Tim Anderson) need to go. They need to get guys with a higher baseball acumen, the lack of urgency, the way they beat themselves this season was embarrassing. Anderson needs to go because the organization gave him the keys to the car and he drove it off the cliff. And he’s getting up in years (Author’s Note: Anderson will turn 30 this season), get something for him while you can, some talented young players. The organization also needs a major off season from the scouts, they have to find guys they can buy low on with a good upside and hope they produce.”
