5/15/2026 - Cubs @ Sox - 6:40 pm CDT
My own observation was that there were many more Cub fans than Sox fans out there. Maybe move the Sox further North to a much more inconvenient location. Then after attendance continues to tank, move the franchise out of this one horse town. Nashville? Sox fans would have no room to complain if that happens because, as a whole, they have not supported this team.

Maybe you were too young to experience Jerry's Chicago Bulls in the 1990's with Michael Jordan. Jerry spent a lot on those historic teams. Maybe you were also too young to recall the 2005 White Sox WS. Maybe not. Maybe your hatred for Reinsdorf taints your opinions of Jerry's boys this season. And it's not just you. I have a few friends that were WSox fans for years but their hatred for Reinsdorf now is palpable. Some of them refuse to go to another game until the Reinsdorfs no longer have a controlling interest in the team. Problem for them is that some of them may predecease JR. Also, there is no guarantee that whatever the roster is 8 years from now is anywhere near as good as the current one.

Official Chris Getz Apology Thread
I give JR/Getz credit for constructing this unique, entertaining and winning roster. Now I want them to keep this group together. Don't over-analyze metrics or penny pinch, even on the periphery. Extend Mune, keep this group together. That will reward loyal fans and at the same time,. prove your critics wrong.

Should the Sox be buyers this deadline?
Grich seems to be filling that role so far, and, as he said on the post-game, he can be a valuable mentor to younger hitters. D Hill has also come through big as a RH pinch hitter. If Braden comes up he is a switch hitter that can help to balance the line-up. There is always room for improvement but, as long as the Sox keep winning series, the old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" applies.

Teel suffers LCL sprain (Pg. 5), out 3-6 weeks
Yea, he lifted during the off-season. I generally don't favor weight lifting for baseball players but that is another topic. Anyway, I hope Teel is on a plane to Chicago tonight. That would be a huge boost to the clubhouse and to the fan base.

Should the Sox be buyers this deadline?
I agree and I hate to say, Noah has likewise not looked very good in his last two starts. Maybe let the big guy keep slinging for a few games and see if he can cut down on walks before considering a demotion. Sox really need Noah as a staple in the rotation to compete this year. I am behind him 100%. A great kid from a great family.

OK I understand rest, but it will cost a game.

I hope this is Quero's last game before Teel takes his place. Maybe a golden sombrero as a going away present.

Do not absolutely require All Stars at every position to win (i.e., the '05 WSox with Rowand, Iguchi, Pods, Crede, Uribe) . They have enough Star players and complimentary players to win right now. Players like Antonacci, Peters, Hill, Meidroth and Romo round out and compliment a line-up with bigger names. Add Hagen Smith and maybe another arm for the rotation, a Closer and possibly Braden if he is ready. and this team should compete for the Division.

ABS for challenges only or for every pitch?
As long as ABS is being used for challenges, why not just use it for every pitch? Easy to communicate the call to the home plate umpire so they could signal the call on every pitch.

Dominguez is not a Closer, never has been, never will be. What to do about that? Wait for more of these almost blown saves?

Antonacci's chest hit the ground for Chrissakes. OK, send him down to the Minors to practice diving.

Base hit. Not even close to an error by Antonacci. The inning was 100% Schultz fault. He is looking terrible and may need to head back to the Minors iof he continues to walk batters.

Let's go! Lugo is toast.

5/13/2026 - Royals @ Sox game 2 - 6:40 pm CDT
Lugo has been racking up the pitches. I hope that Sox hitters don't help him out at the plate.

Antonacci is due for a bomb.
