Broken record.

I think Kopech and Maldonado have to go via DFA. I prefer Bran Ramos over Sosa at third. Robert and Eloy are hitters with HR power which this team needs regardless if we like or not like them.

We almost never hang on to win these close games. s%*# bullpen.

Hawk always favored the change-up as a pitch to get batters out. If the Hawk is watching, I bet he has enjoyed the stuff Thorpe has. Contrast Kopech losing yesterday and taken deep in the cub game primarily relying on a big fastball (that is straight as an arrow).

Thorpe has to be nervous as hell. Let's not judge him by his first game here. Good luck young man.

I should have said that I heard someone say that but I have not found anything that would confirm that. Nonetheless, Thorpe looks like he going to be a great pitcher.

I understand he is related to the great Jim Thorpe, a true legend.

Ozzie is fine where he is right now. He doesn't want or need garbage like what is being thrown by insignificant, irrelevant twits. I'm going to see him in Joliet Saturday.

Kopech is just wasting everyone's time and money at this point. Just release him and be done with it.

" Dick exploded and basically said if he wanted to know what the pitcher was throwing he should have his ass on the bench watching with the rest of us." Maybe Ron was in the bathroom or taking an insulin shot, who knows. I watched the Cubs and WSox back in the day and met Santo years later. I found him to be a very humble and gracious man who fought a lifetime battle with diabetes that ended very brutally and sorrowfully. I recall Ron doing "Santo's thing" after a win where he jumped up and clicked his heels. Having said that I also recall that he openly ripped into Don Young for making 2 misplays...an event that some point to as the beginning of the end for the '69 Cubs. My God did they choke.

Love this young player. Great family and a great young man. 457 foot bomb. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/video/george-wolkow-socks-a-two-run-homer?q=ContentTags %3D ["playerid-805804"] Order by Timestamp DESC&cp=CMS_FIRST&p=0

Not true.

"Yes, I am a judge of character as we all are as human beings. I’m 44 years old, but what does that have to do with anything, gramps? " The post you questioned was about what the poster felt as a fan of Bobby Hull at that time. Bobby meant a LOT to young Hawk fans who knew nothing about any allegations by his then wife or ex-wife. As far as your characterization of Bobby Hull, there are a lot of athletes and politicians that abused alcohol (Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Joe Namath) and/or had allegations of sexual abuse levied against them by ex-wives yet were or are admired by certain people.

Shut up and leave the forum? On what basis?

You are not a judge of character and obviously do not have a clue what you are talking about. How old are you? Still a teenager? I could explain why Bobby Hull meant so much to fans, but why waste my time on someone who is so absorbed in themselves.

There are different ways to improve the team. Trading star players for prospects seems to be the most popular, but there are risks in doing that. Recall the Chris Sale trade. Another way is to keep the most talented players and pitchers you have and look to add talent from the farm system and free agency. I like a few players that came up so far (Ramos, Lopez, Ellis, Colas). The starting rotation has been improved, although that is hard to see with the record this season. The tendency with a losing team might be to shed talented players, especially those that have under-performed, but I would prefer to see a little patience before deciding to tank the roster.

This game is over. Very sad year for White Sox fans.

The missed pop-up was a tough play in a field Sheets wasn't familiar with and a ball with a lot of back spin. You can't judge his defesce on that play or the play that Stone had wrong. Sheets was there if the play was made in time. What is this sh1t? Fvk the cubs.

Sox hatred runs deep when the new announcer is getting dissed. Not surprising after reading posts lauding Wrigley field, the "elite neighborhood" surrounding it, and dire predictions that the Sox have almost no talent in the minors and will be mired in a funk for a decade. Most posters here never have anything positive to say about the Sox and this season has opened the door for them to go beast mode with criticism.

Trying to score from third on a shallow fly ball, is not just aggressive, it's just foolish. Veering too far off second base when everyone in the stands knows that a pick-off attempt is imminent is also foolish. Throwing strikes to power hitters like Wisdom or Morel in key at-bats is insane....better off walking them instead of letting them beat you. The Sox have played well enough to win in several games where they have been out-strategized and out-managed. Getz lacks the moxie to make the necessary personnel moves. Given that, JR needs to fire Grifol and his assistant managers.

Complain about the announcer. OK, whatever..

Chicago is a Cubs town? LOL give me a fuking break. Fuk the Cubs.

The Contreras brothers are strokes (as is Javier Baez who was shouting at Sox fans at this year's Opener) and deserve to be confronted. Remember this bat flip? https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/white-sox-pitcher-suspended-for-throwing-at-cubs-willson-contreras-after-sky-high-bat-flip/

"You don't like opponents rubbing it in your face. Win more fucking games. " ---------------------------- Oh "fucking games".... lol. I don't care how many losses my team had, we would never let players show us up on the field. Maybe you never played sports because if you had, you would know that. Team pride and resolve is something you start with before every game. The only problem I had with this situation is the lack of support from teammates. The bench should have cleared even if only a typical baseball shadow boxing yelling match.
