Lip Man 1

It actually was "The Kids Can Play..." marketing slogan.

And here it is, just a wonderful reflection of a good man's life:

The Torborg documentary comes out Thursday, I'll post the You Tube link to it if no one else does so after the Dallas-Philadelphia football game.

7th time this year the Sox trailed in the 7th inning or later and wound up winning the game.

Speaking of Civale...three innings, one hit allowed Monday.

6th time this year the Sox have trailed in the 7th inning or later and came back to win it.

Well that is certainly going to be the case under JR for his remaining years. When Ishbia takes over that could change.

I think there are still a few people who did not sell their shares.

I think that's significant but a lot can change between now and the winter especially when you are dealing with JR.

Well they are getting more out of Vaughn than the Sox did with Civale. He helped spur that long win streak when a bunch of their guys were on the IL so yes I agree you AND the Brewers are going to make the playoffs. No question as it turned out they got the best end of the trade. All the Sox got was another stiff who ate some innings. And I'm not saying they should have kept Vaughn, he needed to get out of this insane asylum as soon as possible to try to get his career going again.

There's no "may" about it.

My God...a win.

That's JR's way. Cubs also claimed Santana from the Guardians if I heard right.

All of them have gone through "rebuilding," in some cases multiple times. The successes they have had in large part have been based on a competent front office. When was the last time the Sox could say they had a competent front office/organization?

He is on defense, then again he fits right in with the rest of this bunch as far as fielding is concerned.

Once again this false narrative comes to the forefront. I don't know of ANY Sox fan...NONE who "don't mind" losing, tanking, rebuilding. But when you have an owner who refuses to compete, who refuses to spend money, who refuses to take any risks, who thinks players are overpaid and still yearns for a salary cap...rebuilding, tanking is basically the ONLY WAY to maybe get out of the cesspool he created. Will it work? It hasn't so far that's for damn sure but odds of a 1,000-1 are still better than zero because JR is simply not trying to win anymore. Period...full stop...end of story.

Look at the good side, these buffoons didn't allow the Yankees to score in double figures tonight! WOO HOO! They'll make it a four game sweep Sunday.

Fair point although Schultz had a knee issue and Smith had some arm issues.

Yankees may score in double figures in every game this series. Taylor is not a relief pitcher, let the kid start. The pitching staff is ma disaster, almost as bad as last year. Total embarrassment.

Absolutely.

if you are talking about his latest podcast appearance I think he said he is not saying the Rays would move to Orlando but that at some point in some way he thinks they will get a team.

When you think about it that is so White Sox isn't it? Shoot for the moon...miss and the only thing that is left is scarp heap players. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground.

Outside of the personal impact, who really cares? Him playing won't prevent this team from losing 100 games again. Since 2018 this organization can't seem to go a week without someone getting hurt, it is what it is. Three errors tonight, Sosa with another one and they still had a chance until this wretched bullpen came into play in the last two innings. Only a month to go before this abomination ends.
