Giolito and Yoan are clearly not the same players physically they were in the past.   Giolito hasn’t had his fastball all season. Everyone keeps saying how talented they are but look at these lineups every day…way too much mediocrity compared to true contenders.  

No doubt, but here we are sitting on 1.5 games back of the division lead with half the team underperforming.  Even with a flawed roster (thanks Rick!) we should be winning this shit division.  Unfortunately a mix of La Russa, Menechino, and poor player leadership is doing us dirty right now.

I tried to be positive after the deadline. It’s over. 

Just hoping Cease, Kopech, Robert, Eloy and Vaughn stay healthy the rest of the way.  Don’t give a shit about anyone else getting playing time.

Brother Rice kid tried give these worthless assholes the game.

This offense.....

Jimmy Lambert ..... WTF after spending all that money....NO fucking urgency

Where were ReyLo, Kelly, Graveman and Hendriks all strike out pitchers?  We bring in Lambert instead.  TLR should resign tonight.  We need more energy and urgency in our manager.  TLR is not the one.

Yes it was Karros.  He said Sox 26 th out of 30 teams in homers.  He pretty much wrote off the Sox. Said Sox are the worst defensive team in the AL..  He also said the Sox were underestimating a hungry Royals team coming into this series.

Yeah they still gave their crap manager too much credit but they’re coming down hard on this team and did a decent job of justifying it for announcers.

Lopez and Kelly probably weren’t available tonight

He knows with this offense it's an insurmountable lead.

We should be so lucky to have a manager with that kind of insight.

What do you Mean ? We have a HOF manager in the dugout. Grated, he can’t stay awake, and doesn’t know what he’s doing anymore but does that matter? Sad how this season has gone. 

Edited August 11, 20223 yr by AJ'S Cousin

We should have traded Abreu and Cueto at the deadline

We need to get or develop a WS caliber catcher.  That's an absolute must.

Really Tony, just leave him in there while the rest of the bullpen that Hahn bought rests.  You bring in Diekman and Lambert???

TLR proving he's smarter than everyone with the Lambert choice.

While the dust is settling the stat will be healthy rest days and lack of innings pitched that will tell tale. 

Royals embarrassing the Sox tonight.  Matheny out managing TLR by a mile.  Royals much hungrier than the Sox, also mentioned by Karros.  We need to use our best players in these close games.

We tried that, we took a guy named Collins in the top 10 I believe.

We need to sign a World Series Manager, oh wait we have one. That didn't work out so well did it Jerry you asshole!

What I love about Fire Tony is that he’s always trying to win tomorrow’s game.  We’re like 15 or 20 over .500 in winning tomorrow’s game today b

I’m serious, Lopez probably not available for back to back days, same with Kelly.

Made me laugh that Pollock was too sore to face a LHP tonight but will be fine to play 17 hours later against a RHP.

I love the Sox…not baseball.  This team makes it hard to want to watch them, but I’ll never switch over to the Cubs or another team.  I’ll just find other things to do with my team until football season starts.

Hope your not a Bears fan…

This Royals team is way more fun to watch than the lousy Sox. Play great defense and can hit home runs. Most frustrating White Sox team I have ever seen. 

Tony just said “ shit, I might have to walk out there again 

Karros, Piazza & Mondesi all sucked in the clutch.  He shouldn't be giving his opinion.  Just call the game jerkoff.

No sense of urgency whatsoever.
