Of course they give up 5 more runs. It's amazing. Stink spreads on this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are exciting because of where they were and what they are doing. I still don't think there's a chance of theme winning the WS this year. What are some (if any) historical comparables to this White Sox team? A lot of people had them near (at least) the top of the AL. 2021 Padres of recent vintage makes some sense as a comp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Why are people surprised Cairo might be bad? He’s been there the last two years, and we’ve all seen how everything has gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this was after an off day. Cairo appears to be a TLR clone or is getting instructions from TLR over the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. The Sox are not moving 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFHurt35 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 While Moncada and Grandal (players that actually mattered) have taken most of the fan abuse all season for their suckage, I can make an argument the Giolito has been the most disappointing player for this season. The guy has been healthy and at the prime of his career and he just flat out SUCKS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie4Pres Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Jose Abreu has...six home runs at home. SIX. Jake Burger has that many.... in 29 games. You almost have to move on from Abreu, because the power numbers are just non-existent. I don't think he replicates his OBP or BA next season.

Very recent, but lumping in with the Padres for historical, doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies. 14 minutes ago, Paulie4Pres said: 2006? That was a damn shame. They really squandered a lot there. Should have been an even bigger wake up call to what Reinsdorf and Co. valued. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringfieldFan Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Well they aren’t mathematically eliminated but I think they are done. What convinced me was when Abreu said the team just needs to believe. That’s an acknowledgment the players don’t believe. They no longer, at least in their minds, have anything to push for - and that’s curtains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Pasqua Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I can't listen to the radio side because they are meh, and I can't watch these games as it's just awful baseball so I'm forced to visit the box score and just lurk like a loser in this space. I feel so sorry for those kids that are Sox fans and remember my youth as a Sox fan thinking it's never over until it's over. So to all you young guys keep believing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
