Can we discuss what is of real importance tonight please.

Will Eloy go with the pink or red ensemble tonight? And will Moncada go with the yellow or pink shoes?

Lots of names didn't go: Happ, Contreras, Rodon, Pederson

Thairo Estrada not pleased.

Maybe Los will end up extending if he and Ashley like it there, but Atlanta, Washington and Baltimore are much closer to home base.

Selling like hotcakes all around Chicagoland.

Not!! in Borat accent.

And the Sox activate Robert to sit on the bench, again. I've never seen a team in my life activate as many guys off the IL who don't play that day. So odd. So they play a guy short. Again.

That is part of TLR ball.

I think we tend to forget that JR bought the Sox for $19 million, albeit in 1981.  He has a lot of equity.  Could’nt he monetize some of that equity to improve the team?

$19M 1981 dollars is about $62M in today's dollars.
The White Sox are worth $1.76B - so, yeah, I'd say he's made enough to get a star player or two.

I expect the team to have very little energy tonight after the front office showed them they are not all in at the trade deadline.

They rarely play with energy. They play like a 77 year old ballplayer who has little energy.

I'm more excited to see if there are are more Steve or Jason fan club shirts in the stands tonight.  On second thought, just let me know instead.  Watching GOTG instead of the game.

Incoming lecture about cash flow, revenues and monetizing or leveraging value of franchise in a practical way.

What's he supposed to do, get a HELOC?

Frank Thomas on the pregame- “this team leads the league in chains and chillin’.”

Today, at the end of the trade deadline the rich got richer in talent, the poor got poorer, and the middle class like the Sox stayed pat.  There will never be parity in baseball without a salary cap.

Watch it, I'll be 77 in a few months and I have a lot more on the ball and more energy than that corpse who is managing our team.

Sell some equity to some of his buddies.

Resting for October, Frank.  It might end October 3rd but still.

I don’t even know what to say at this point honestly…

Running out Vaughn or Sheets in right field is so deplorable.

”If you’re a White Sox fan and you think we need help in right field then I say you’re not really a fan…” Tony LaRussa.

 

Ok Buddy.

Sell some equity.

Let’s circulate the memo again. Don’t let Salvador Perez beat us.

Just so someone says it, there is an entire industry happy to provide tools to turn equity in a business into liquid funds, particularly if it was on an investment that would have a good chance of increasing revenue or business value.

Now score some fing runs! 

Didn’t have that on my bingo card for tonight 

Look at the wheels on AV!

The irony of Vaughn benefiting from someone being played out of position in RF

Wheels Vaughn with the triple!

Hopefully we're done with that Eloy batting ~6th nonsense now.

Nice to see the Sox already benefitting from a deadline deal (of Merrifield out of KC)
