I'm all for leading an amphibious operation to get this guy out of Cuba and into Chicago to take over for Renteria...

GoFundMe campaign?

Strategic Plan=Opposite of the Bay of Pigs Invasion

I was wondering how Abreu hit that high fastball on the ground and then bam! He's hurt.

Benetti... LOL jesus.

That was amazing. I looked away when I thought he caught it

That’s gone in Charlotte

Everything to the warning track lately.

All the momentum the team had seemed to come crashing down once Eloy butchered that play.

Yup but again the readiness to play factor

Good teams just can't be THAT fragile mentally.

And readiness for coaching staff to show urgency in their actions

Ricky is here as long as he wants.  Reinsdorf isn't firing him.

I honestly didn’t think we’d be bad this year.

Of course not. Hahn would never want to lose his scapegoat

The White Sox won 99 games and went 11-1 in the postseason in 2005 and we thought they were gonna blow it that year for sure. They looked pretty bad after the all star break. Also, check message boards for any team that won 100 last year. Guarantee you'll see the same kinds of posts we're seeing right now after 17 games.

How in the hell did they not give Eloy a hit 

And Cooper has a lifetime contract as "clubhouse spy."

Reinsdorf won’t allow the Bulls new leadership to fire Jim Boylen, and everyone knows he’s terrible. Rick Renteria will be here as long as he wants.

What happened?  I gave up watching...after Engel whiffed in center.

Schoop almost made a great leaping catch but bobbled it at last second. Honestly one of the dumbest scoring decisions if it stands.

Nice man.

And it was ruled an error?

That will surely be overturned in NYC on appeal/review.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers just keep coming up with stud after stud to insert into that rotation.

Embarassment of riches.

Agreed

I can't believe they ruled Eloy's hit an error.
