Chicago baseball teams gave up 36 runs in a one day. At least the Sox kept it under 20. Now on to the Crosstown Classic or whatever they call it nowadays!

One thing I have noticed about Sox hitters is that they sometimes don't just take one strike but take two. Then they're 0-2 and they haven't even offered at a pitch. I don't know how any hitter can expect to succeed with an approach like that.

I can't see the White Sox making a meaningful trade unless they want to give up on this rebuild. With luck, maybe a veteran pitcher can be picked up at the deadline. But I don't even expect that.

Appears to me that Moncada isn't completely healthy. I don't know what is wrong with Grandal.

Yankee fans boo at the drop of a hat. There is no reason for them to panic because of a two-game losing streak. And the Yankee fan who threw back Anderson's home run ball should be ashamed of himself for imitating Cub fans and continuing that god-awful tradition. Meanwhile, I hope this is a turning point for the Sox. They looked listless in KC until they overcame that 4-1 deficit in the last game. Hopefully, the offense will improve. Regardless, they have to feel good about beating the Yankees three out of the last five. With a little more hitting, they could have won all five.

The Sox have looked like a different team the last three days. Even in the 7-5 loss, they played well. Nice job by Hendricks. So nice to see a three-up, three-down inning by him. If Pollack can give you any kind of offense that's a plus.

I think he is. In the last KC game, he was in obvious discomfort after getting a single. Then he barely made it around the bases after the Robert home run. I don't think LaRussa even noticed. I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't the lineup today.

If I was a Yankee teammate, I wouldn't defend him.

With his history, I don't know if Donaldson can explain himself. I don't care how talented he is. I am glad he is not on the White Sox.

At least ten games. There is no excuse for this shit. Anderson is a talented major league player and he should be treated as such. Any person should be treated as such.

Despite all the strikeouts, the offense showed some life today. And there was some good defense out there. But Keuchel was still Keuchel and Grandal doesn't look like he can hit a thing.

I think the organization and we fans need to get past Ozzie. If any changes are made in the organization, I think the FO should reach outside to make any significant hires. Ozzie should get managing opportunities elsewhere, if they should arise.

Looks that way. The guy looked like he was in pain and could barely walk much less run.

Best all -around game the team played all year. Only drawback was Tony's hit and run call that Gordon Beckham didn't want to discuss.

LaRussa, if he hasn't, should talk to Anderson about his public squabble with Guillen about playing a second game in a doubleheader. Neither the team nor Anderson need a distraction like this right now. It is nothing but a losing proposition. Then again, LaRussa may feel Guillen biting at his heels.

This is exactly right. I don't care what the slumping 2021 Braves did last year. Making comparisons to other teams is nothing but useless and la-la land type of thinking. This team needs to start hitting, but we don't have any idea if or when that will happen. LaRussa needs to go, but that we do know that won't happen.

I think that many fans expected or at least hoped for a mega signing of some kind after the rebuild started taking shape. That didn't happen and it won't happen. Hahn has done a good job in some ways, but the deal is not being completed.

The Sox will not relocate with a change in ownership. JR got his stadium, that is why he stayed.

Joe Kelly has some real good stuff.

The Sox will improve as injured players return, but the last Yankees game was a bad loss. Two-out walks led to all the Yankee runs. And the team has shown some bad base running and a weak defense. Those factors will remain and has to concern fans even with the bad division. Something is lacking with this team and that is why it has a record slightly below .500. Making comparisons to other teams and other years does not impress me. We have to live in the present.

And today the Yankees showed clearly that they are the better team. That home run in the ninth says it all. They needed something, got it, and put the game away. The Sox offense looked like it has all season.

I know he gets off to slow starts, but those were four weak at-bats today. And the weather hasn't been the issue lately.
