If the Tigers keep swinging at the change, they are fvked.

The outfielders did not see Mune's HR or Braden's triple so no surprise Schriff waited on those calls.

Yes, Hell yes!! That was a line shot by Peters.

We are short a decent starting pitcher. This guy is painful to watch. The guy that hit the HR was just waiting on that sh1t change-up.

Blame Schriff because Uriquidy sucks, OK..

One too many change-ups. Not sure who was responsible for calling that pitch.

Catchers, Catchers, Anywhere?
Rogers has a .199 lifetime BA. There were far better catchers available before the trade deadline if Getz was serious about helping this team compete for an AL Central Championship. And of course another starter could have been had. Hold on to those prospects Getz. Maybe they will turn into the likes of the Minor league pitchers we are seeing come up and fail.

A win in game one of this series would be huge. At least we do not have to face Skubal. Imagine Skubal vs the Sox bullpen. Sox need a three run home run and more.

Davis Martin to IL, McDougal optioned to AAA, Urquidy & Schweitzer recalled
Exactly, as some of us thought would be the case given Davis' struggles in the early innings. In hindsight, given how terrible Davis has been, the only other option would have been to put him on the 10 day. Not sure what they will do with that guy now. What a time for him to blow up. No way he is on the White Sox next season. Getz won't forget this.

The Glaring Question - Sox Starting Pitching
Getz needed to trade prospects like Bonemer. He didn't want to. That was his call and he made that known well before the trade deadline.

8/13 Reds at Sox 12:10 PM
Could get even uglier against the Tigers and Cubs. They are in a position to bust our balls.

8/13 Reds at Sox 12:10 PM
Big series coming up. Learn from mistakes, make adjustments, and move forward. Glad to read about Teel possibly returning before expected. With all the issues with the rotation, our bullpen has been pretty decent. Back end with Grant Taylor and Jordan Hicks is nice. Some of the middle relief guys need to step up .

Easy to get down on these guys after a rough series like this. The problem now is that Detroit and the Cubs could do a lot of damage to the Sox taking them out of first place. It would have been nice to go into those series on a bit of a roll instead of with finger pointing and uncertainty.

So the young players won't repeat good seasons any time soon? Sounds like you are a Cub fan. Am I right?
-
8/13 Reds at Sox 12:10 PM
I see Davis has been announced. When I saw McDougal in the pen last night I thought Venable might have considered using him in the first inning as an Opener for Davis, especially considering the problems Davis had in his last start.

Mat Ishbia’s estimated net worth has fallen by more than $3B since March.
Mat and Justin share so much in common - shameless displays of personal wealth, the most expensive homes in Illinois and Michigan and ownership of pro teams as a hobby. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/billionaire-nba-team-owner-razing-192014010.html

“The 78” is alive and well for the Sox, Bears are 'advancing' Hammond development
Do you know how many HRs have been hit in McCovey cove at Oracle this season? One. Anyway, the Chicago River is not a Bay and looks nothing like it. Instead it is a silty murky mostly stagnant canal that periodically gets controlled sewage overflow. The Canal is host to invasive species. Wrigley does fine without "skyline view, riverwalk/water taxis, proximity to downtown." Sox need a winning team, not a new stadium that is more inconvenient for many fans to get to. "If they really do have the money and land to put in a retractable roof on a stadium there" Not sure how any baseball stadium let alone a retractable dome (700 ft diam. just for the footprint) would fit within the latest approved TIF plan. (i.e., between 14th st. and 15th st. and between the LaSalle St. extension and Wells.) Money? I think Ishbia family wealth (Mat and Justin) is largely contingent on United Wholesale Mortgage, which hasn't been doing well. Anyway 77.. I am focused on this season and this team, but I admit to being amused by your imagination.

I have strong opinions. Feel free to disagree. I don't care.

Never said that. Don't put words in my mouth or lie or falsely accuse me again.

I discussed my thoughts about Private Equity some time ago, which are pretty much in concert with Warren Buffet's. In discussing my thoughts I posted a University of Chicago Business Law Review Article: "The Dark Side of Private Equity" Personally, having gone through (personally and professionally) the stock market bubble in the early 2000's and the 2008 Mortgage bubble, my views on PEI, and in particular, PEI in Health Care and the Home Mortgage sectors have hardened. Those were not PEI related necessarily, but they were "bubblicious" like Ishbia's United Home Mortgage asset is proving to be. Regarding the Reinsdorf/Ishbia deal, at least as reported: https://archive.ph/ZcEvG That deal struck me as a classic private equity/ leveraged buy-out. considering Ishbia's PEI promise to "pay-down debt" of the White Sox. Of course, leveraging debt is precisely what PEI do to gain leverage/control, manipulate valuation of assets, and ultimately make money, often at the cost of others. Meanwhile, I have no idea what White Sox debt Ishbia restructured and whether that restructured debt has done anything other than benefiting his own corporate/stock position. Regarding the reports that Ishbia is hell bent on moving the White Sox from their historical home, I think he should fvk off, fvk all the way off back to Michigan. Nothing he has done or reportedly done or proposed doing makes a stitch of sense to me. It's a high stakes fishing expedition. I recently read a post here suggestion a retractable roof stadium. Great idea but no, that kind of stadium would not fit on what is left of the "78" or the 47 acres across the canal that his PEI firm has a contingent deal to purchase. Of course he can sign another deal to add to the 47 acres or do whatever he wants.
