Uh, he was in position to make a tag.

Watch the replay. The last bounce before it got to Moncada caused him to miss it. It wasn't his fault.

We really needed this game.

Walk him for Chrissakes.

I would intentionally walk this guy

As far as the population "shift", a lot of retirees understandably leave cities with colder climates ( some after their kids are done with public schools and the parents qualify for pensions including those funded by our State) . A lot of them end up moving back when they realize all the things that they miss from their family and friends to many other things that the greater Chgo area has to offer. ...like Lake Michigan water..(Google "Lake Meade") Our society is in the midst of a digital revolution that is more impactful than the industrial revolution was. But before you start packing to move to a hotter climate or scenic are, you better check to see how climate change might play a role in the future - drought, wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes. flooding, lack of drinking water. We are all in this together, no matter where you are from. We cannot get stronger by running away from our problems here and adding to others there.

In hindsight, high fastballs out of the zone to Arraez would have been harder for him to put the bat on for a hit. Cease hung it and Arraez hurt it. Cairo or Katz should have come out before Cease faced Arraez to calm him down and discuss strategy

Maybe cut the TLR stuff. It's bad karma and kind of a drag.

Eloy with one of the biggest HR of the year following Grandal's HR in yesterday's game.

No. Virtually every in-game decision TLR made was filtered through Cairo and other members of TLR's coaching staff. TLR frequently consulted with them throughout every game and before almost every major decision.

Sheets got hot for a few games and that was enough to block Colas from getting called up.

Sox are still in this fuego.

I am going to another game this year, maybe my last one. I always enjoyed going to games in the Fall when you can roam around the park, sit in empty seats anywhere you want , and enjoy the sights and sounds that sometimes get drowned out by the crowd. Back in the day we would smoke on the cat walk behind the scoreboard at the old yard. Good memories that I will take with me. .

Get well Tony.

I am guessing here but I would not be surprised by an announcement that Tony has Covid -19 or some other acute malady and therefore, an interim Manager will take over for the rest of the season.. Cairo, Katz or even Ozzie seem to be leading candidates. Too late to make a run, especially without TA and a banged up Robert, Moncada ,Grandal, Kopech, Bummer, et al, but I think it would be a lot of fun to see Ozzie out there.

What "garbage stadium"? Are you old enough to remember the old Comiskey park? The place was falling apart and there was no money to rebuild it like the millions i profits from day traders that Roicketts used.

That was over 40 years ago, lol. I am old enough to recall that as well as all of the things that JR and his family and investors have done for WSox fans and for the community. I'll taker the stability of the franchise and the Reinsdorfs over a guy like joe Ricketts, any day.

Key injuries to E'loy, Robert, Grandal, Lynn, Tim Anderson, Bummer, Mendick etc. The injury to TA sealed the season.

Selling the team increases the possibility that the franchise will be moved ... which is the wet dream of most cubs fans. I want the team to stay right here in Chicago and for the Reinsdorf family and other current investors to remain at the helm. I do nit want an out of State ownership group like the Ricketts who inject money and politics and do not have a clue about Chicago, the suburbs, or the culture and history of the South side.

If we can't trade for a TOR starter then sign one via free agency And I don't even think that would be enough to plug into this rotation. Kopech has been inconsistent and Gio and Lynn have been pitching like back of rotation starters.. Cueto found the fountain of youth for a season or this rotation would have even been a bigger disaster than it was.

Sign Agreu and trade Vaughn for a legit top of rotation pitcher and a pitching prospect. Trade Hendriks. Retire Tony and fire all of the coaching and training staff. Replace Steve Stone with Ryan McGuffey Make more improvements to the ballpark.

Racial intolerance....and I am being generous.

They beat our second and third string players for the mist part. If we were at full strength, they would not have swept us. . You cannot replace TA and Elvis , Moncada with Leury, or Pantera with Engel and expect to win. You cannot start minor league pitchers and expect to win in August. The Sox are playing at half strength.

Hahn built a line-up in large part based on their potential power...the ability to blow teams out with HRs. Then the league decides that there are too many HR so baseballs all of a sudden travel like they are filled with sawdust. OK, a few guys have bad years, but to me it looked like a lot of balls that were hit to the warning track this year would have been HR in past years.

Then go become a Cub fan and get out of here. Later.
