Lip Man 1

There were numerous games the past few seasons where they left double figure runners left on base in scoring position. Nothing has really changed regarding their hitting "philosophy" or comprehension it seems.

1-16 RISP for the White Sox according to the official box score. Embarrassing but it's not like we haven't seen this before a lot the past few seasons.

DeBartolo said he would move to Chicago and spend 20% of his time and business interests there. He was turned down for bogus reasons, the fact that he owned race tracks (i.e. so did Steinbrenner but that didn't seem to be an issue) and because he "supposedly" had connections with some Italian "families" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink SAY no more!) A big reason he was turned down was because he was going to spend big money on the franchise and the other owners were horrified at that prospect. He had already given Veeck money to sign LeFlore and Essian.

He had a very small percentage. Said selling out his share to JR was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made.

As long as JR still has control, Getz will get a long leash just like Kenny/Hahn did. Now when new ownership comes in he'll be out the door because they will want to hire their own people as most businesses do. From all indications they aren't going to have much of a 2027 season so the second half mention probably isn't going to be relevant.

Hey Luis Aparicio is only 90, I bet he can still play shortstop better than the stiffs and retreads currently on the roster! 😆

Verlander could be 55 years old and he'd still make the Sox look like little kids.

The only answer I can give you as to "why" with your questions is because JR is calling the shots and this is the way he wants things done.

The Sox sure do make a lot of errors and leave runners stranded and and can't advance runners into scoring position or driven home. Same crap every..single..year. Yet every year we hear the same BS about working on and preaching fundaments. 😆 And I see where Colson AGAIN sat out games today. "Little tweek" my ass.

It is really incredible that you have to go back literally years when the White Sox had competent, productive players at all three outfield positions.

While that would be nice remember these other Kaplan stories: The Cubs would not be outbid for Tanaka... Joe Girardi will be the Cubs next manager... Albert Pujols will be signing with the Cubs... Kaplan doesn't have a lot of credibility in my opinion.

He hasn't been the only one. Andrew Berlin, who grew up a Sox fan twice tried to get the team around 2008. JR said no. Berlin now owns the Cubs South Bend affiliate.

I honestly can't think of a lot worse than the current Sox situation with the current person in charge. After a promising start 44 years ago things started to go right down the toilet over time. I'll take my chances with someone else calling the shots.

They have a better chance of doing that then going 7-7 in my opinion.

Montgomery can't stay healthy, until that is solved he isn't making the team.

I'm guessing the vast majority weren't there to gaggle at the White Sox players.

Sorry...the outfielder.

Came out today that Taylor now has elbow issues and is going to be examined.

Today the Sox figured out that you can actually score a lot of runs in a game. It's not against the rules.

Especially the way the home park plays in the summer.

From South Side Sox: (Something to look forward to? 😆 "Counting some of this game (please, you want me to check back postgame to confirm?) the White Sox through six-plus games are dead last in hitting (.162) 33 POINTS lower than No. 29 in baseball, last in OBP (.275, trailing by 19) and last in slugging as well (.293, 33) for the IMPOTENCE TRIFECTA."

It was actually Eddie Einhorn espousing that nonsense.
