5/28 - Cubs @ Sox
I hope the White Sox never look at this as their World Series. You want to win these games because they count in the standings, but they are not this important. If the Sox would lose to the Cubs, but go to the real World Series, that would be okay with me.

SRO tickets released for this weekend
You may be right about this. And if they move to geographic realignment, Sox-Cubs games would make sense and have a real importance. But right now, it is more hype than anything. At the moment, it is more important for the Sox to beat the Twins than to beat the Cubs, as much I hate losing to the Cubs.

SRO tickets released for this weekend
There is no way in hell I'd stand to watch a Sox-Cubs game. This series has long outlived its usefulness. Time to end it.

When did we take the wrong turn?
One problem this team has it will never make a Harper-type impact signing. That is why I have doubts about this rebuild.

When did we take the wrong turn?
I am not ready to call the rebuild a failure yet, either. There is still a good core of talent here. But I wonder if the FO will do what is needed to finish this job. I don't want to make LaRussa the scapegoat, but his hiring just didn't make sense. And it makes me wonder about other things.

Glad to see Dallas has pride
Nice to see Dallas have pride, but he also needs to come out of the rotation. Going two or three innings is no help.

Sox vs Sox Rubbermatch and Season Finale- 7:10 CT
Delusional and stubborn. JR is not going to sell and he won't make any major changes. The board members are all old and stopped caring a long time ago. Something dramatic needs to happen now, but it won't. The future doesn't look too bright.

Sox vs Sox Rubbermatch and Season Finale- 7:10 CT
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!

Moneyball 2: Twins/Sox version
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.

Trade Talk With Rick Hahn/Merkin
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.

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

Just how concerned should the Yankees be?
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.

AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
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.

5/21 Sox @ Yankees | 12:05PM CT | Keuchel vs Cortes
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.

5/21 Sox @ Yankees | 12:05PM CT | Keuchel vs Cortes
If I was a Yankee teammate, I wouldn't defend him.

5/21 Sox @ Yankees | 12:05PM CT | Keuchel vs Cortes
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.
-
5/21 Sox @ Yankees | 12:05PM CT | Keuchel vs Cortes
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.
-
5/21 Sox @ Yankees | 12:05PM CT | Keuchel vs Cortes
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.

Knights fire Wes Helms
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.

5/19 Sox @ Royals | 1:10PM CT | Velasquez vs Hernandez
Looks that way. The guy looked like he was in pain and could barely walk much less run.
-
AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
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.

TLR 2022 Thread
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.
-
5/18 Sox @ Royals | 7:10PM CT
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.

Hahn’s 2022 Offseason (So Far)
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.

5/17 Sox @ Royals Game 2 | 6:10PM CT
The Sox will not relocate with a change in ownership. JR got his stadium, that is why he stayed.
