Yes iddy’s gone. He claims it was because of the beggars pizza title but I think it was just him bowing out after y’all ignored him.
Like Mingo, I too had never placed anybody on the ignore list, not even BS Genius over on the Bears board. Hell, I didn't even know how to go about doing so until iddy himself showed me. Irony. But he deserved it. Nothing but negative comments on just about every situation imaginable. I can never and would never speak for others, but for me, zero loss.

Look at the bright side to our otherwise so-so start to the '23 campaign. We could be the Cincy Reds. After starting the year 2-2, they have since gone 1-20. That's definitely WTF territory.

Yikes! The Sox have 16 games in a row ahead of them - without a day off. Just Win Baby!

Dylan's coming off the best performance of his career. Would very much like to see him have consecutive solid outings, as consistency has been one of his drawbacks. I was at the game in Sept when the Red Sox brutalized him and if I recall he didn't make it out of the 3rd inning. Time for payback.

Just a shout out for Jake Burger's effort. Turns out he can field the ball slightly better than average - has a top arm with pace. And he's hitting above .250 in his rookie at bats.

Unfortunately - I think that makes him a White Sox top trade bait.

Felt for some time that guys like Burger and Sheets would ultimately be served as trade bait, if only because there's limited positional space on the roster. It's a shame because both are very likable and also contribute to the team's fortunes, altho that's on a limited basis. I agree that I would have Burger at the very top of that trade list.

Reese McGuire has started more games at Catcher than Grandal. Doesn't that make Grandal the 2nd string catcher? :)

It means he’s first string overpaid.

First year as White Sox, Grandal top offensive and defensive catcher in all of baseball. Second year, Grandal second (despite only playing 93 games and by far the best non accumulative numbers). The MVP for your 2021 AL Central champ White Sox "Over the final six weeks of the season, Grandal tortured pitchers to the tune of a .337/.481/.674 line."



Jiddy keep losing. Jiddy dig hole deeper. Jiddy closes eyes and goes "la la la" during Grandal usual early season hitting struggles. Jiddy pretends he doesn't know he is very, very wrong. Jiddy sink deeper and deeper into hole.

This is amazing. You should invest into a Yasmani Grandal NFT.

It seems to me that Joe Kelly would have benefitted from a minor league rehab assignment.

Sometimes TLR's lineups just have me shaking my head like the 2nd game yesterday.

I have a feeling based on no evidence that Abreu is ready to bust out. Even my old favorite Paulie had really poor half seasons at the plate.

The best way to get rid of Keuchel is to make sure it's impossible for him to get to 160 innings so he can't vest another year on his contract then trade him foe some minor leaguer at the deadline. So far so good.

Kopech's longest start of his brief majors career and it turned out to be his best. Big difference when you spend most of the night getting ahead of the hitters. Get that initial strike then let your nasty stuff take over.

Moncada under performs at the plate, but he can be magnificent fielding the hot corner. I love to watch him make plays.

Have to agree that his glove has really impressed, really ever since they moved him over to 3rd. And it just keeps getting better by the season. What makes it even more impressive is how unimpressive that same glove was when he was manning the 2 bag.

He's got a great and accurate arm as well.

Aggravating article here:


So there are two players who are not vaxxed that can't suit up for when we're in Toronto due to Canadian laws. So who TF are they? How dumb can an article get when they don't name names. Like it's a dreaded secret or something. Like as if fans aren't going to put 2 & 2 together once this happens. Good grief.

Guessing our backup catcher is one of them
