Crochet speaks...
I don't like hearing our ex players ripping us. If we're honest about it, we deserve it. The Sox are being run like a beer league softball team. I can't do a damn thing about it, and that is frustrating. For myself I'm stuck being a Sox fan. Couldn't change even if I wanted to. I just hope I outlive JR.

Slater torn meniscus; Jones back
Really weird how injury prone the whole team is. Too bad Andrew Vaughn is the only guy immune. Elko will be a big improvement. Strikes me as a league average guy for 2-3 years.

Chase Meidroth getting promoted
you were about 3 so's short. was absolutley shocked when i saw madrigal play. What a stiff. slow, slower. slowest.

Andrew Vaughn is Officially a Bust
It's a shame. Second half of rookie year he looked so close. Ihate to say this, but if I were him I'd start taking HGH. If he doesn't he'll be out of baseball in 2027.

4/13 game thread vs Boston 1:10 first pitch
Michael Taylor is a real outfielder. Why is he playing left? He probably makes that play and it's still tied.

2025 MiLB Catch All thread
does anyone know if Bryan Ramos is still alive? The terrible players we have playing make his absence even worse.

Chase Meidroth getting promoted
Only if I'm not taking a dirt nap in 2032.

Fiery column...
I know I'm in a love hate relationship. I'd let you cut off 3 of my fingers if it meant Reinsdorf would sell. Maybe 4 if he would expire.

Chase Meidroth getting promoted
there is an 18% chance I'll die before season 7. I'm willing to take the chance.

Barfield on rebuild...
Holding on waiting for May 1st. Hopefully we'll add Ramos,Teel,Quero and Meidroth then. I'm sure they will all struggle at times. I'd rather watch future MLB regulars struggle than a bunch of 4F's. Not including Colson is intentional. His days of unearned optimism are over.

4/1 Sox vs. Twins 6:40PM CT
I don't think Andrew Vaughn will ever bounce back and be good. That being said, I've never seen any player in my life get f$#ked over again and again by the home plate umps. His strike zone is bigger Frank Howards was. The guy is 5' 11' at max and his plate is always 23" wide. I'm shocked he's never cold cocked an umpire because if it was me I would have.

3/30 Games
Give him till May 1st. I made the same comment a year ago before I knew his back problem was lingering. It really doesn't look good right now. Some guys kill it in the low minors but collapse against better pitching. Colson looks like that kind of player.
-
3/31 Sox vs. Twins 1:10PM
Really think dumping Pedro will keep the tean from 110+ losses. They could have kept Sizemore and still been better. I've never seen a guy like him before. Even worse than Terry Bevington. You almost have to admire someone so incompetent AND arrogant about it.

2025 MiLB Catch All thread
Pallette should be in Charlotte unless they try starting him again.
-
3/28 GT - Stripers at Knights
Probably share catcher and DH. Full time catching takes 5 years off a career.

Opening Day Angels/Sox 3/27...
Bill Veeck said there are only 2 seasons. Winter and baseball. Lets light this candle!!!

For now, SunTimes hints Amaya starter at SS (Maton Gray Baldwin Jankowski all boarded plane for Chicago)
Ramos started slow and improved. He was injured and as time passed he became more productive. He should play all the time as DH or go to AAA and play there every day.
-
Thorpe to get TJS per Merkin 3/22
he'll be older than my youngest kid before he pitches again. get the surgery already. did i mention the sweetest kid in the world is 37? god we suck.

2025 Bold Predictions
Andrew Benintendi ends up with a positive WAR. Maybe as high as 1.8. La Pantera stays healthy until traded. Teel is called up early and does well. Sox end up winning more games than one other team.
-
Sean Burke Opening Day Starter
10 months ago it looked like he'd never make the bigs. Pitching for a rotten team does have its perks.:)
-
Gallo Released, Adams has Flexor Strain
Get the surgery now. Mason isn't young, and wasting another year hoping for a good outcome could end his chances.
-
The Athletic Hope meter
If things go well in the minors this spring, my optimism will skyrocket into positive territory by July. Sure we'll still suck the rest of the season. But as the Brooklyn Dodgers fans always said, "wait till next year".
-
Opening Day 26-Man Roster
Hope Teel makes team and plays at least half the time. Hope Quero tears up charlotte and is up in June. Those 2 will really start the crawl back to respectability.

That's a White Sox Winner
I've been telling everyone I know about Grant Taylor for a year now. Maybe I'll get one right this time. :0 )
