@Mingo You would be proud of me. I am watching the White Sox/Mariners right now... Also, I will be at the White Sox/Astros game next Wednesday.

Enjoy the local representatives of Houston.

Robert's pinch hit HR was cool, but the Sox lost again. Among all the other problems - Pedro Grifol is dumb as a box of rocks. The Sox minor league teams are kicking butt - so the future may be there.

DeJong was safe.

DeJong was safe.

Maldonato is done at Catcher - his defensive skills are shot and Grifol has given 125 ABs to his .077 batting average. Meanwhile Kory Lee the rookie catcher is hitting .260 with nearly a 700 OPS - has the 2nd best pop rate and the best throw out percentage of anyone in the league.

The Sox are stacked with young pitchers in AA and AAA - Thorpe looks ready for an MLB run - Nastrini is already part of the rotation, Noah Schultz is a top 50 pitcher and Grant Taylor - who has pitched 35 innings without issuing a walk -with a .063 WHIP and a .173 BA against. Gannon pitched very well last night - he will likely be in a future rotation.

There's about 8 more pitcher ready for a 4th or 5th spot.

Based on minor league record - I think the Sox are about top 5 in minor league talent - and appear to be ready to deal Crochet - Fedde - Pham - DeJong and even Robert.

DeJong was a nice pickup for them. I am a huge DeJong fan. Glad to see him have a bounce back season. White Sox get him for half a year and his trade value while NOT GREAT is something. Always works out when you buy a player to trade for a young prospect.

I'm having flashbacks to Mike Shanahan.

Sean Payton who controls the spigot to any Broncos information - would be sending Javonte Williams a message based on recent opinion columns. I don't think Javonte ran last season with the same abandon he showed in his rookie year. Guys coming back from back knee injuries can sometimes take a while longer than just physical recovery to have the same confidence in running at the same level as before. Payton is letting Javonte Williams know he is watching.

The Kansas City Chiefs recent crime wave is an indication of franchise decay. IMO. After the Head Coach's son - also a KC coach goes to jail for homicidal drunk driving- the players are still getting drunk - having accidents and fleeing the scene (off a really busy interstate interchange).

I don't know if Buggs is a bad guy or just a guy somebody powerful really doesn't like.

Are you saying every man is going to add weight today?

Not only is this forum boring this week but this off season crap is pure hell. Camp, pre-season and opening day kickoff can't come soon enough. All I have to watch these days is the Rockies and they stink.
