Just thought of a new promotions idea.....a Bryan Shaw "Stretch Armstrong" night.

"It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and we need you now"

Outstanding My fantasy of Pedro using Shaw as the opener every other game lives... he's gonna use him at some point in the game anyways so just get it over with.

Rusty Staub he ain't.....or Jerry Hairston Sr. for us older Sox fans.

I want to thank Getzy for that quote. I had been on the fence about this signing and now realize it truly is a dumb idea.

This is close to the last thing I expected to see when I opened Soxtalk tonight

Maldonado might have been worse but for the last 2 months of the 2023 season, if I was watching a game and Grandal came to the plate I would call out.....,"why is he still here???!!!"

Bump This fell to page 5 He's a world class schmuck and proves it most of the time he is quoted.

Well......darn

1. I don't hate Benintendi like many here, probably because I couldn't stand AJ "I don't want to be here" Pollock. Andrew hit well in the leadoff spot last year for a nice stretch. Hopefully his hand is fully healed and we will see more power. 2. Yoan is an elite defensive 3B. I just wish his sweet LH swing would return. 3. La Pantera is just an all around great player. Gold Glove D in CF and he does it all offensively. 4. Need to see Eloy tap into his easy power and of course he needs to stay healthy. 5. I have no problem rooting for Andrew, but he just hasn't shown the big league potential he showed in college. 6-8 Defense should at least be better. 9. Maldonado can't be worse than Grandal. They may be an easier team to root for than last year, but can they score runs?? As far as the srarting pitching....I have no clue what we're gonna get outta that bunch, with or without Cease. Bullpen could be solid or it could stink imo, but isn't that always the way with a bullpen? The Central is not good....let's see how long this squad can stay in the race. Every year, there are teams that under and overachieve. God help me....I will follow them no matter what. At least there is this support group known as Soxtalk that I can come to. Hi...I'm Wegner and I'm a White Sox fan.

Bullpens are always a crapshoot. Hopefully the Sox catch some lightning in a bottle that they can flip at the deadline.

Your 2024 Chicago White Sox. Get your tickets NOW, before we close the upper deck.

Not going to lie....I just looked at the current 40 man roster and had to look up who the hell Braden Shewmake was. Ah, one of the pickups from Atlanta for Mr Bummer.

Might as well make the White Sox Mt Rushmore handsome, so I'll go with.... Nicky Delmonico, Nicky Delmonico, Yoan Moncada and Nicky Delmonico *** It is better to look good, than to feel good. ***Nicky did play 6 games in 2020 so that counts

If I'm Getzy, I just let everything go to voicemail....if they are serious they'll leave a message with their offer.

How much $$ would it take to bring him back do you suppose?

Busy weekend for Getz

A rare signing for your 2024 Chicago White Sox....someone I've actually heard of.

To this day, I'm amazed in 2021 that the Sox had Lynn start that playoff game in Houston when he had been awful there AND he had pitched well at Guaranteed Rate. Most likely doesn't matter but it was still a very stupid decision imo.

I hope someone packed the big fella a nice friggin lunch after that inning
