They actually do. Bergolla was playing shortstop. It's only a bone bruise. Antonacci stayed in. Looks like the same type of play that happened to Ozzie in ... 1992?

Maybe we should be complaining about how the Rangers, Mets and Rays teach fundamentals to the players they trade to us. I am aghast!!

I don't know why you bother. This place is a s%*# show. Nothing will do but perfection. People act like collisions don't happen in other organizations. Most collisions happen when 2 guys are going hard to the ball. That's called hustle, giving effort. You're arguing with people who call themselves Sox fans but act more like Cub fans dwelling on every little thing that will give them satisfaction that everything the Sox do sucks. Acting like puppies crying through the night, crying every time a reliever let's someone get on base. No posting about I hope those kids they are all right. Just another chance to berate the organization. Drunk posting like it's some badge of honor. Taking glory in football sample sizes . No sympathy or even empathy. Nothing except their own suffering matters.

I sure hope the Ishbia's don't read this crap. Wouldn't surprise me if they called the whole thing off . We don't deserve an owner with money who might be willing to build a new ballpark who might have a grand vision of a White Sox resurrection in the heart of the city. Not an ounce of patience in a game that requires it especially when we all know whats going on. But sure lets all act like the front office isn't on Pork Chop Hill. Tactical futility at it's finest.

We won the game but you'd be hard pressed to find many kind words in that game thread.

Heard Ishbia was about to cancel the buy right after reading soxtalk but thankfully a white knight rode in and saved the day!

Two of our best propects. I sure hope its nothing serious.

FIFTEEN+ years of winning (barely) the 28th amount of games out of thirty with all but CLE right there.

How can CLE be fourth overall with the lowest payroll in the sport?

What about TB and Milwaukee?

Why don't the White Sox attempt to learn from the most efficient spending teams out of necessity?

This is Stockholm Syndrome.

"Not an ounce of patience in a game that requires it especially when we all know what's going on..."

Being a Washington Generals fan was more rewarding.

They had a better winning percentage against the Globetrotters.

Even with the Bulls looking like "mired in mediocrity" over the last 15 years...

They're still ahead of the Lakers and "Process" (heard those words from Michael Reinsdorf this week) 76ers...

White Sox=Charlotte Hornets

Detroit Pistons have been the very worst...but they have a lot of promise now.

Doubt their fans would trade places with the White Sox position even with a 1-1 draft pick.

This is laughable. Sox fans pissed because the team sucks. More like Cubs fans? You're just like Cubs fans. Results don't matter to you. 3 100 loss seasons in a row when we were promised being in a multiple championship window. How dare White Sox fans be upset.

I'm so old I remember when it was Cubs fans who blindly accepted losing and whatever their ownership told them, and Sox fans were the ones who actually had standards and expectations instead of celebrating failure.

It kills me how completely the unaware the White Sox Buzzkill Army is of their own comments and feelings when they project those feelings on those of us who dare to be optimistic and question their continual complaining.

Really?? We optimistic fans looking for hope are laughable when you’re still complaining about the promised multiple championship parades? We’re the ones who are laughable?

Just to set the record straight, collisions happen due to poor communication and a lack of familiarity and positional awareness. Not because of hustle, in my opinion.

Started reading through this thread and rolled my eyes so many times. Caufield posting nonsense and ownership blaming.

Cubs would fill a stadium when they were garbage. Sox won't fill the bottom level - Sox fans absolutely don't support this s%*#.

Gotta love Soxtalk. A post about two minor leaguers colliding in the outfield is seen as some dramatic grand big picture indictment of the organization and somehow related to the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets.

The original title was also Berongtolla, so we have it all.

It would be nice if every thread didn't end in a lecture about accepting happily everything you are told, otherwise you are some kind of a Vietnamese Nazi Cub fan, or whatever made up projection is happening at that moment.

I yearn for the day that stupid stuff doesn't happen often enough where it easy to connect it to a much larger pattern of stupidity.
