to be fair, Southpaw is a 3 WAR mascot. 

So is Chris Getz.

Speaking of Getz, what happened to Gordon Beckham? Not that I'm complaining but I haven’t seen him in awhile.

Isn’t he still the main White Sox fill in for days when Stone misses? And the likely candidate to replace Benetti in like 2 seasons?

Maybe Beckham and Getz are really the same person. 

Way to ruin the summer White Sox. Team has no talent and no pride. And they get rid 1 of the only 2 players who coulda made September interesting in following their HR totals. Burger probably got traded cause the Sox were embarrassed about their decision to move him to 2B and knew he'd be butchering that position while their guy, Moncada, enjoyed no competition at 3B.

It seems to have been Mike Huff filling in lately. Of course I'm not catching all the games. I just haven't seen Beckham in awhile.

Double duty with Bulls/Sox Academy.

I would consider sending the manager to AAA.

Burger hit two home runs tonight for the Marlins, hitting 3 rd and reaching 30 homers.  One of the worst Hahn/Williams trades and a farewell middle finger to Sox fans.

Gordon has no cred to do play by play it is a special skill. He has been working the sausage grill semi cromulently.

It was a horrible game tonight.  Terrible baseball fundamentals.  I can’t believe that JR/Getz want to bring Grifol back for next season after this s%*# show of a season.

This team quit after the 10 game losing streak back in April. Grifol lost the team at that point. 
Getz could talk to me until I’m blue in the face and tell me that Grifol is the right guy to manage the Sox and he will get one hell of a fight from me and probably 99% of Sox fans. The man doesn’t have a clue and has no business managing a MLB team. 

The 10 game streak was a sign to me that he'd already lost them.  Fast worker.

Hiring white guys to positions they don’t deserve is sort of a White Sox thing.

Need the team to get embarrassed like that the rest of the way, that might be our only hope of Grifol not coming back.

Beckham does color. Benetti does pxp. I have no clue who will replace Benetti down the road but it does seem inevitable

Pedro showed some fake discipline. Benched the rookie because he did run out a pop up. The kid obviously thought he fouled it off.

Have to hope Len gets a new gig before then because he would seem to be next in line.

Len came to the Sox to do radio (mostly radio anyway). I think if they tried to put him on tv full time he'd leave

Wasn't that because he wanted to do playoff games on the radio? That ain't happening for awhile around here.
