  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Key injuries to E'loy, Robert, Grandal, Lynn, Tim Anderson, Bummer, Mendick etc. The injury to TA sealed the season.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Racial intolerance....and I am being generous.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. The front office assembled a team with a lot of talented and expensive player contracts., Most have not worked out for one reason or another. Posters here were pining for Grandal before the Sox signed him..others did not want the Sox to bring back James McCann or sign another major league catcher. Then there were those who wanted the Sox to sign Keuchel and Lynn and Joe Kelly . Mistakes were made....a lot of them. Time to move forward while trying to stay positive.
  11. Two drunks and a sign.
  12. Grasping at straws.
  13. He said Eloy is dogging it. You know the guy who is playing with a bad hamstring. Yea. he needs to motor.
  14. Literally not a single person on earth thought that going into this season. Literally what? LOL.
  15. Firing and retiring will be saved for the off-season.
  16. The TLR thing has been overplayed ad nauseum. but go aheqd.,. but it makes absolutely no difference now. Too many injuries and under performing players to compete. As the team is currently assembled, they might be one of the worst teams- talent wise- in major league baseball.
  17. Yes...Mitch Haniger got to Clase. https://www.mlb.com/mariners
  18. Cleveland / Seattle game going into bottom of the 11th. Guardians can still choke.
  19. Players are demoralized and so are the fans. This is so hard for me to watch as a long time Sox fan who is not going to be around to see another rebuild.
  20. I think TLR probably doesn't want to come back. Hahn should get fired and the new Manager should get to pick his coaching staff, which should not include McEwing, Boston, Mennechino or the entire training staff.
  21. That Varsho catch on a hop was ridiculous. That ball probably goes to the wall when a player tries to catch it on a short hop running toward it and diving. That was actually poor judgment by Varsho that worked out for him and kept a run from scoring. Meanwhile, Romy's ball was a foot or two from going out. Abreu just needed a touch more oomph on the line drive to the gap. Sox seem cursed this season and I am saying that as someone who is kind of agnostic about such things. Almost every damn close call or break seems to go against us. Engel missing a routine fly last night that cost a game? WTF?
  22. Orioles made an error that cost them a run but not the game. Sox are snake bit this year. It's hard to explain but Ozzie had one of the best takes on it. He opined that if a team is scoring a lot of runs, errors and misplays do not cost that many games. The Sox lose a lot of close games because they are in a lot of them because they can't blow out too many opponents. These close games without much offense get harder to watch , especially when the Sox blow so many of them.
