Fear & loathing White Sox/MLB thoughts, Soccer, NBA, Illini athletics, and a little too much tequila.
Seldom serious. I also collect a little cardboard.

Three straight exciting offensive picks. I have no idea if they'll work out but I can commend the effort by the White Sox tonight finally reading the room. 👏

Vinny Capra was made for that moment.

In Noah Syndegaard's last start against the White Sox on 8/5/23 he gave up 4 HRs (Robert, Vaughn, Andrus, Colas), and 4 stolen bases (Robert x2, Andrus x2) over 6 innings of work.

Maybe Vinny Capra is on the White Sox primarily to bolster the bullpen? Just a thought.

I will continue to ask, why is Ryan Noda a thing?
The White Sox let Gavin Sheets walk in favor of Andrew Vaughn. Vaughn got traded because he's bad, and now they're deadset on keeping Noda around because he's a lefty?
If lineup balance was so important why not just keep Sheets?

I can't believe people still watch cable news. Nothing but propaganda and hot takes that are sold to the highest bidder.
You don't moderate countries like Iran by bombing them. Wars do nothing but guarantee another generation of extremism built off of moments like today. Awful all around.

CNN’s Van Jones urges “progressives” to “get on board” with bombing Iran:
“I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country,” he said on air.
Jones did not share whether he considers Israel—an apartheid state currently committing genocide—a “normal country.”

I don't want to sound a White Sox alarm, but with the Grand Slam and other plays yesterday, Andrew Benintendi now has 0.1 WAR on the season. First time I believe he has ever climbed into positive territory in a Sox uniform.

Is Ryan Noda a thing simply because he's left handed? He's like a lesser version of Gavin Sheets.
I'd rather see Elko play everyday.

At this point it has to be performance art. More effective than DOGE was at showing the general public what happens to a large percentage of our tax dollars.

Lost in the self-glorification of the White Sox complimenting themselves for being so far improved from last season is how absolutely terrible they still are.

Chris Getz earnestly building a White Sox team that closely resembles the 2019 Kansas City Royals while getting absolutely clowned by the 2025 Royals every single game.

Andrew Vaughn's chase rate on fastballs is going the opposite direction of what you'd expect for a hitter who should be entering his prime. Not a fair comparison but Vaughn vs. Aaron Judge. You can't swing at 40%+ of fastballs out of the zone and expect success. #WhiteSox #MLB

Unsure if I played a role, but I apologize to Baltimore Orioles fans for thinking positively about your team the past few seasons before I figured out they were White Sox-ing their rebuild. What a debacle.

That shot to first base almost hit Andrew Vaughn and he somehow avoided knocking it down at all. Impressive really. Inverse range factor.

This is why it's really awesome to start life on third base. Grown men spending countless hours talking about you instead of applauding the dozens of players who have already been drafted. So many good stories not being told.

And to think I sent this BEFORE he booted a ball in center field allowing an extra run to score 😭
