Veruca Salt was fun....with like the best band name ever!!

If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding, if you don't eat your meat?!

I remember being warned about that by a very knowledgeable poster here when we signed him.

Just following on the game thread...doubly frustrating now that I know they are doing nothing against an emergency starter...ahhhhhhhh

Can you think about posting whether this team will hit any more home runs this season next?

I see Lucas gave up a couple of bombs in the 1st...ughhhh...this team does not need early holes like that.

I appreciate the optimism from some here but the problem is this has been a monumentally bad stretch of baseball, losing mostly to teams in their own division who aren't supposed to be any good. Of course the Sox can still win the division but the pessimism is warranted, especially with how bad the offense and defense has looked.

You know what...screw that....get him up here.

Hey, the White Sox have a better record against teams over .500.....they are 4-5 with 2 wins each against the Mariners and Rays while getting swept by the Twins Sox against teams under .500....their record is 3-6. I think we have the Halos right where we want them.

Welcome back Luis Robert....I'll take him.

That is awfully cool. My favorite autograph was given to me by my then girlfriend (now wife) when she was working for some attorneys downtown. She said they had a visitor to the firm that day who was an extremely nice man and she pulled out an autographed picture signed to me from Minnie Minoso.....I almost got down on one knee right then and there.

He's only 19. Outstanding. Time to break out my Cannonballers cap again.

Seemingly great news from down on the farm every night. The Knights offense sure looks better than the big club right now.

Per an idea on the Banks thread....Don Kessinger is only 79.

Or they've seen enough and are calling him up for his next start? It's not like anyone up here has been going much more than 4 innings.

Way too expensive.

Love em both, you're call. Will there be a bucket hat option?

I sure hope so....they had the best Chicken Salad at last year's.

When's the next meeting, Ray? The TLR stans picnic has been canceled, so I'm free now.

Johnny Cueto....come on down...or up, whatever.

Love to hear good news from the minors with how the big club has been looking. I remember how fast Robert moved through the system. Would be great to get Yolbert up to Chicago later this year.

Next stop Chicago?

I'm still very happy that Kimbrel was jettisoned and nothing will change my mind about that. Nick Swisher performed much better when he left here but I didn't give a rat's ass about that......if you forget that time he hit a walk off against us.....that sucked.

Honestly, I would keep him where he is for now, continuing to build up confidence. He is a 30 year old rookie, so I am not sure you should put him in a higher leverage position. That being said, he is one of the few bright spots in this early season, along with Cease, Kopech and Vaughn.

Why isn't player/manager an option??
