I know we have talked abut this sickening video tons of time with sarcasm, but now in 2023 seeing him make that comment with the most condescending and arrogant snicker, is now completely beyond a lack of accountability...and now has become officially one massive embarrassing disgrace, of either blatant or senile negligence...on the part of Jerry Reinsdorf.

Royals: Steer Brady Singer back on track

Singer, the Royals’ first-round Draft pick in 2018, had a breakout 2022 season with a 3.23 ERA across 153 1/3 innings. The start to '23 hasn’t been as smooth. The 26-year-old has an 8.82 ERA entering Thursday’s start against the White Sox, with a 1.60 WHIP. He’s allowed the most runs (33) in baseball, and hitters are crushing his fastball with a .338 average against Singer’s most-used pitch. Royals pitching must take a step forward this season as the club evaluates what they have in their system. That includes seeing other homegrown pitchers improving like Singer did last season. Now it also includes getting Singer back on that same path.-- Anne Rogers

Might just be a 2 out of 3 loss in KC. Rain today. Next series there is Sep 5-7. Both teams also have Sep 4 off (Labor Day).

This weekend vs Astros is looking damp too.

Unrelated, I guess. We’ll see if they wait it out today. (Edit-Chiefs game 9/7)

W-L - 13-25 - 3rd worst in ML

Run Diff -67 - 28th

Pitching Staff

ERA - 5.71 - 29th

ERA - Bullpen - 6.21 - 29th

BB per 9 inn - 4.20 - 29th

Hits per 9 inn - 9.48 - 27th

HR's per 9 inn - 1.70 - 29th

WHIP - 1.52 - 29th

Observations:

1. I do not see this pathetic team ever getting to 500 this season.

2. Several players will be traded at the deadline. Of course this will be executed by the last man in the world you would want making those trades.

3. After the sell-off, the Sox will bring up all the great Triple-A talent stocked in Charlotte that was put there by Rick Hahn, according to Jeff Cohen of Sox Machine. That will for sure solidify the death sentence of the Sox losing over 100 games.

4. Assuming Hahn screws up at trade deadline and is fleeced by other smarter GM's, the current 26th ranked MLB farm system will remain near the bottom for several more years.

5. Finally, as long as Jerry Reinsdorf owns this team and continues to lack accountability and prudent ownership responsibilities by continuing to keep Kenny and Rick as our White Sox executive guiding force...we will never see a playoff team on the south side. 

RIP - To all Die-Hard Sox fans!

Death, Taxes and the Sox losing to the Royals.

Started down the stretch in 2005. 

That crazy game they were way ahead... you woke up the next day and were absolutely stunned they had managed to lose.

They're only ahead of Oakland for run differential.  Lost a lot of ground head to head this week.   

Promise of Sunday's win has practically evaporated.

He'll hold the Sox to three runs today in six innings is my guess.
