Stoney never was one to bite his tongue. And while it’s harsh to share this publicly the way he did, Lynn probably should be taking better care of himself. We all come in different shapes and sizes but you are a professional athlete making 18 million dollars this season. If he was a Cub I’d be annoyed at the lack of pride.

Such a shit show on the south side, to bad to sad.

What do you all think it would take to get Dylan Cease back? I feel like the Sox are going to blow it up sometime soon.

The WSOX go 0-6 on their road trip after losing 8-0 today to Toronto. They struck out 17 times including 10 of the last 11 batters. WSOX are 7-18 on the season now.
Brewers(16-9) won 6-2 Reds(10-15) won 5-3

They have him this year + 2 more and his cost it a tick under 6 mil. this year, probably 12 mil. in 2024 & if he continues to be great maybe 18 or 20 mil. in 2025 & I don't think they can just rebuild with that roster. If the Cubs are still in it at the deadline I'd be interested in Giolito & he wouldn't be terribly expensive as a rental.

They should be much better than that.

I really thought they’d see a little morale boost from simply not having Tony La Russa lingering around, but boy was I wrong. Honestly, while it’s early, I’ve been wrong about most of my opinions from this past offseason thus far! None make me happier though than seeing the WSox crash and burn. Err, I take that back. The Cardinals failing miserably at living up to the “clear cream of the NLC crop” label I gave them. That’s the one right there.

I'm glad because that kid is just plain scary..

For as scary as the bat is he has been absolutely dreadful in the field. In limited defensive action he already has a -5 DRS. That’s pretty nuts.
But yes, we should enjoy the time we have without him because it sounds like he’ll be terrorizing NL pitching for a long long time.

White Sox fans holding up banners and chanting "SELL THE TEAM" at last nights game..
Some of us complained and were bummed out over the Cubs past cores window closing with only one championship.
Imagine being a Sox fan , this team looked to be set up well for a nice long run and went quickly from being a WS favorite to get there and win , and now are close to being the worst team in baseball , and would be if it weremn't for the A's.

During a cross-town series at Wrigley a few years back, Jimenez hit a big home run late in the game. In the excitement of it all their announcer (which I think was Benetti but I cannot find it) let out a big "Thanks Cubs!" Naturally Sox fans loved it and Cubs fans didn't.

Yes, and they would use that on radio promo all the time. Haven't heard it in a while LOL

"Thanks Cubs", oh how that's worked out for them LOL Hahn kind of made a similar mistake that Theo and Jed did and that was stockpile talent well, but most of that talent had similar skill sets and the Sox ended up with a bunch of power hitting DH types and then their owner ruined it all with insisting he hire LaRussa and things went to shit ever since.
