4 recent AAA and MAT. 

Julks, Mead, Amaya, Baldwin, however,yesterday they had 5 hits , 2 doubles & a HR and 4 of the 5 RBI. Teel also had an RBI .

Well, Venable is not good and you can only do so much when the GM stacks your roster with 4A guys.

Keep it close and let Colson and/or Benintendi be the heroes late when Cleveland brings in a righty. 

Is Vargas dead?

Yes. On IL with oblique strain

Nothing says we're moving forward like the return of Jacob Amaya.

Here we go again with a for s%*# hit.

Robert has to fatten up on the lefty since he hits them a lot better. 

Probably why he was benched early in the blowout.

Oblique injuries can take time.

Maybe Bill Veeck wasn’t all that popular, quite of few there tonight probably never heard of him.

On the 10 day IL although the story in the Sun-Times said he's going to be out for "several weeks."

I went through both of his Sox ownerships and I still have mixed feelings.

He should get no credit for the 1959 team.  Then he made a series of dumb trades.

Taylor just throws his head down and runs. It’s so funny.

You can never tell if he crushed it or popped it up.  He’s on fire though 

Little Nicky Lopez still hanging on to his MLB career for dear life.

“Cubs signed INF Nicky Lopez to a minor league contract.”

His bat died long before his injury.

Yep, Frank Lane and Chuck Comiskey were the architects of those Go Go years.
Those trades of Cash, Battey, Callison, Romano and Mincher by Veeck will live in infamy. Despite those trades, new GM Ed Short after Veeck sold to Arthur Allyn made some great trades and the Sox had their 3 best consecutive years ever in 63, 64 and 65 winning 94, 98 and 95 games those 3 years.

I’ve always wondered what would have happened if Dorothy Rigney had sold to her shares to brother Chuck instead of to Veeck. Eventually my guess is Comiskey who wasn’t very wealthy probably would have sold by the time free agency came around.
