NYY vs Grady’s Boys
Just wait until tomorrow. We can do worse.

Benintendi
Since we are into video games now Jerry is giving the fans atari while the rest of the league gets Playstation.

Jake Burger trade
4.2 oWAR in the last 1.5 years. 57 HRs and 132 rbis. I will take that. I would say the numbers show he is actually good. He had 4 years of control left. Why trade him? He was going into his supposed prime years. Without the missed omit time this year he might hit 40hrs. And he makes 750k this year

Jake Burger trade
Just keeps getting worse annd worse. He would be leading our team in average, hrs, rbis right now. He now has 11 HRs in his last 17 games. Not too mention he is the best clubhouse guy we had. And we traded him for a middle of the road prospect coming back from injury. How many years of control did we have?

Stone not sure he will be back in 25, season "wearing on him"
My 18 yr old son sent me a text the other day that he thinks he broke the news story on Stone leaving. Lol. I thought he was joking, then he sent me this. He may have done it.

Signings worse than Benintendi in the last 5 years
We talk about how bad the Beni signing was. 15 million per year for 5 years. But I happened to see a guy I forgot got a huge deal that make ours look pretty decent. Anthony Rendon might go down as one of the worst signings ever. 7 years 245 million. He has 22 HRs in 5 years so far, only 850ABs. Beni has 17 hrs and almost 900 ABs. He has produced a 1.6 WAR. Rendon is making 38 million per year this year and the next 2. Then there is Kris Bryant, 17 HRs in 3 years and they have him for 27 million per year for 4 more years after this one. So I was wondering how many other contracts are out there way worse than AB's.

Pedro Grifol, Charlie Montoyo, Eddie Rodriguez, & Mike Tosar Fired (Grady Sizemore interim manager)
Could it really be any worse? You could hire some church league softball guys and it would be tough for them to lose 21 straight games.

Pedro Grifol, Charlie Montoyo, Eddie Rodriguez, & Mike Tosar Fired (Grady Sizemore interim manager)
Pedro got a raw deal. Sox have been playing .500 ball under him over the last 2 days, with a +3 run differential. Leave it to the white sox to ignore progress.

Gamethread: 8/5 - I Have A Bad Feeling About This One
I'm up 2000 mostly being against the sox. Keep it going. Lose by at least 2 tomorrow

Sox Quote of the Day...7/31
Who knew managing baseball meant serving and including people?

Moncada and Clevinger "returned from rehab assignments"
When Yoan officially misses the rest of the year he will have made just over $641,000 per official AB this year. I hope he doesn't get signed by anyone next year or he just gets a minor league deal

Eloy to Baltimore

Crochet Trade Updates (Nightengale)
So who else is ready to see every baseball writer in America pick the white sox as the Losers of the trade deadline.
-
Crochet Trade Updates (Nightengale)
Getz feels he is a cornerstone of the turnaround, too valuable to trade.
-
Crochet Trade Updates (Nightengale)
If the Orioles stand pat and ended up just keeping almost all their prospects, and all they got was Eflin and Rogers, then I am really pissed if I am an O's fan. Basically you arent trying to win it this year. You blew another year of the window.

Trade thoughts
A little under 4 more hours left til the deadline. We still look like we will be stuck with Dejong, Lopez, Brebbia, Wilson, Moncada, ILoy, Beni, Flexen, Banks. All guys who will do nothing to help this year or next. Do something Getz, get some 18-19 yr olds at least.
-
Trevor Rodgers to BAL
Every hour that goes by Getz looks like more and more of an idiot. Norby will be a 20-25 HR, 15 SB, .280 hitter with a .800 OPS for many years.
-
Mets considering Brebbia
Except if you are the white sox and Chris Getz, and you traded Michael Kopech for a couple dozen baseballs and 10 shiny new batting helmets.
-
Crochet Trade Updates (Nightengale)
We can be the Dodgers AAAA team.
-
Crochet Trade Updates (Nightengale)
It will be the O's for Mullins, Mountcastle and a couple 19 year olds. Those guys will help us to not have the worst record ever and JR and Getz will take their victory lap. I have absolutely zero faith in Getz getting anything of value from any player left on our roster. He made the worst trade of the season so far and its not even close. Anyone making Rick Hahn and Kenny look good is a moron.

Fedde/Pham/$ to STL, Kopech to LAD, Miguel Vargas + prospects to Sox
I just cant believe that we couldnt get 1 player from the Cardinals. Last time we at least got the immortal Charlie Tilson. On second thought maybe its better we didnt get someone from them. Charlie gave us -1,6 WAR in his career.

Fedde/Pham/$ to STL, Kopech to LAD, Miguel Vargas + prospects to Sox

Fedde/Pham/$ to STL, Kopech to LAD, Miguel Vargas + prospects to Sox
This might be worse than rick Hahn trades

Trade thoughts
That is me. Became a diehard sox fan about 1988. It's getting really tough to stay one with the way the team has been run. The Larussa hiring, then the moron Grifol. If we screw up the trades over the next 12 months I might find a new team.

7/25 - Sox/Rangers
Dylan Cease no hitter today. What a run he is on.
