I don't like this game any longer.

I feel like I've been waiting for Micker to get to the big leagues for 15 years....I'd like to keep him around for a bit to see what we've got with him.

I really hate that someone pointed out how bad he is with risp....I don't think I've seen him get more than a few hits since that was brought to my attention.

Let's pick up some more closers!!! Also this should allow Micker to be in the Sox org for a little more time, eh?

I always liked that signing.

He wants to win his 3rd World Series ring with the Dodgers in 2024....I guess I can be ok with him trying for that.

Wonderful handwriting on that lineup card. Did Cairo work on his caligraphy in the offseason?

Will do....I've got the theme music all picked out..... .....And Boom!!!

The White Sox lose every single extra inning game involving the phantom runner....and my head explodes.

Kimbrel will be traded at the trade deadline to the Mariners for LHP Ryan Buchter and Billy Hamilton.

Just a couple of thoughts and then I will hang up and listen. The fact that Kimbrel is still on this squad is frustrating to me. Did Hahn accept the option because he thought he had to get something out of what ended up being a bad trade? Pride is a dangerous thing. Sometimes you just have to admit a mistake and move on. That would have been paying the buyout. Did Hahn think that he would get a valuable piece or pieces back without paying some of Kimbrel’s salary? In that case it seems that he misjudged the market. Did he actually intend to bring Kimbrel back to pitch on the South Side this season? If you are trying to market him as a closer to try to trade him later in the season, then you almost need to have him close out games. I would be disgusted to see maybe the best closer in baseball in Hendricks demoted for a guy who can’t get comfortable in a non-closing role. On the other hand, if he is bringing Kimbrel back to set up again then that is a quarter I want in no White Sox jukebox I’m listening to. Maybe Hahn will still trade him before the season. Maybe Kimbrel with be a dominant reliever again this season. I will be very happy if they want to prove me wrong.

I was really upset about Hahn picking up that option and so far not getting damn thing for Kimbrel but then a little bird reminded me....

No Christmas in July??!! Boo, Brooks Boyer....Booooo.** **This opinion is purely one held by said poster and does not reflect the views of Soxtalk management or its employees.

Yes, the days of Nicky Delmonico, etc in the OF need to be over for awhile. And as with Palka, I liked Delmonico on those rebuilding clubs and I'm happy to see he was brought back to the organization to coach.

I liked fat Palka a bit...he could hit with some pop. I did not like skinny Palka...he could not. It's a lot like Santa....skinny doesn't work. And I do know....neither version of Palka could play the OF worth a damn.

I can't handle 1....I do however have an imaginary dog that I take for walks during the season when GameThreads get too crazy.

I don't think Graveman has been vaxed and the Sox signed him quickly.

Thanks....just hanging in there til I can get my almost daily baseball fix. My weekend days are full with dealing with a new garage with attic space. I can't wait to sit back and watch some Sox baseball with a cold one. Is that Crede you took to the dog park or a new pup?

I missed a go F yourself tantrum? Damn basement cleanout!!! Miss a little....miss alot. It is a beautiful day out though, ray.

My wife showed me a spring training hat earlier looking for bday ideas...I told her I don't like the mesh on the back of the hat. Ouch Jake....get some aloe vera on that head.

And some of us hated that move.
