Tony

The timing may have been right, but the return unfortunately wasn't. Having said that, Nick Madrigal wouldn't have helped this team this year...at all.

Credit to Fegan as well for writing the story, getting it out there. And I'm glad you posted it, @Colome's Hat, because it deserves as much visibility as possible. Goes without saying, but awesome stuff from Liam.

I think he's probably a VERY good No. 2, but would be a huge upgrade for a team like the Bears.

I don’t believe a single White Sox hitter is on pace to hit 20 HR this season. 20! It’s 2022…

Chicago thin crust IS Chicago style. Deep Dish is for people from Nebraska here for the weekend.

If I had to put a list together of the biggest issues facing the organization, this would be like No. 800.

I don't know, I think Jim Boylen has to make an appearance on that list.

Probably for the best, if we’re being honest

You phrased that wrong. Managers shouldn’t have that much of an impact in baseball. The “good” ones don’t. Tony La Russa has ABSOLUTELY mattered since he’s been here, and for all the wrong reasons.

Honestly, respect the effort and hustle @ron883

This has gotten WAY out of hand

And @tray will say "I mean what did you want him to do there? He took a chance and it failed. You armchair QB's make me laugh. Good thing there are 100 more games left, these guys will be fine." Just preparing everyone.

Man, the 1-2 IBB then to have Muncy hit a 3 run HR might take the cake

All of that seems to make sense and I believe there should be a huge amount of funds dedicated to electric infrastructure to allow charging stations at apartment complexes, more rural areas, etc. I guess it just comes down to moving towards a much more aggressive strategy around electric vehicles seems to benefit Americans much more than continuing to rely on foreign oil, and you would sort of think hard R's would favor that...but they don't seem to. They want cheap gas, but they want gas. And I guess I don't totally understand the appeal or loyalty to gasoline, unless you worked in the oil industry or had direct ties to it. For example, Biden included $174 billion in his BBB plan that including more charging stations and tax incentives for EV buyers. The GOP counteroffer had 4 billion earmarked for EV's.

He would absolutely get a job. As GM or President of Baseball Ops? I don't think so.

This team and injuries, my goodness.

Ron, I had it wrong, it was Cease, not Kopech. This was going into the winter of 2019, preparing for the 2020 season. See the chain above...

I like saying "the guy that wanted to trade Vaughn, Kopech and Madrigal for Conforto in 2020," but to each their own... ?

You get the idea...

I like WSD, I get his shtick and he's in the perfect spot. Large props go out to him for what he's done. But he's gotten access to Hahn and others with the Sox because of tweets like that. He'll backtrack and say "No way I've been super critical of Hahn" but he's the same guy posting the Vince McMahon/Hahn GIFS anytime he makes a move and has a blog ready to go at will titled "DID HAHN DO IT AGAIN OR DID HAHN DO IT AGAIN!" I get it, too. It's not like he's writing for the Sun-Times. But I just don't think he's being totally forthcoming because of his "good" standing with the FO.

I forget who it was, maybe Heyman? But when TLR came back to the Sox, he was upset because he voted for him for the HoF but thought his career as a manager was over, and didn't feel like it was right for him to come back, because the story isn't finished yet. Everyone thought it was such a goofy take, and I also don't take the HoF that seriously.....but after what we've seen the last 1.5 years....he was right.

We now go to a live look at White Sox Dave:

So happy to see other crews state the obvious
