I told my boss at the time, a Sox fan, that in a few years he would realize how bad the Sox fleeced us in the Quintana trade.

Another managerial mistake from La Russa today, not knowing the extra inning rules for the runner on 2nd and sending his closer Hendriks out there to run, then trying to have Garcia steal 2nd with men on 1st and 3rd. Then Hendriks after spending the whole half inning on base loses the game in the bottom half. Just a bad move all around. I don't cheer against the Sox, but I don't mind seeing them lose. I dislike La Russa, but this is just hard to watch. Can't help but think this situation simply cannot keep going on like this with the aspirations they have this season.

Means with a no hitter. His change was nasty and he worked quickly.

I told my boss at the time, a Sox fan, that in a few years he would realize how bad the Sox fleeced us in the Quintana trade. Glad we got 1 good season out of him, at least. He went from being the most consistent pitcher in baseball to, well, Quintana in 2021. Funny how everyone still is mad at him about a deal that wasn't his decision. Take it out on Theo's obsession at the time with aquiring a starting pitcher at any cost. Side note, has anyone checked out Gerrit Cole's numbers so far this season. WTF. www.fangraphs.com/players/gerrit-cole/13125/stats?position=P

Angels just DFA future HOF Albert Pujols.
HE was in the final year of that massive contract and really had nothing left in the tank, it was the right call. Obviously the biggest no brainer to clear waivers ever, I wonder if he tries to keep going to call it a career.

This probably deserves its own thread but I just saw that Albert Pujols was DFA'd. May have had something to do with him being unhappy about not being in the lineup against Ryan Yarbrough, whom he was 6 for 9 with 2 HR's against.

Schwarber Doubled for the 5th time. He's hitting .187 with 6 RBI
Brandon Woodruff and the Brewers lost today to the Zach Wheeler and the Phillies (2-0). It was the Brewers' 5th loss in a row. Brewers next 3 opponents: @ Marlins / Cardinals / Braves

Sorry Addison, but apparently Harrison Bader is good at baseball, lol LOL. His slugging is up in his first 20 at bats. But he is a career .234 hitter and that's where he's at right now. And he leads the league at being a douche. He's capable of being a Schwarber wannabe with none of Schwarber's like ability. I love Schwarbs, but he is struggling this year. But that's just my opinion. And I am glad he is a Cardinal. If he was a Cub, I would have to become an A's fan.

I'm picturing donald duck swimming in coins, with some baseball memorabilia mixed in there.

Wade Miley throws Baseball's 4th No Hitter. Red 3 - Indians 0. Game delayed 1 Hr 23 min. "It was the shortest span between Major League no-hitters since June 29, 1990, when Fernando Valenzuela (Dodgers) and Dave Stewart (A’s) each recorded one on the same night."
Carlos Rodon (5-0) lowers his ERA to a ridiculous 0.58 6 IP / 0 R / 8 K White Sox in 1st Place with AL's best Team ERA.
