kreigh8 Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 Astros are just a superior run organization. White Sox clearly are a step below the other playoff teams and need to supplement the roster in various ways. Need to find a solution in RF as that’s been a huge hole since Dye left. Need to decide what they are going to do at 2B, whether that’s Cesar, make a run at Semien which I doubt Jerry would pony up for, or some other outside solution. Then decide whether or not to deal with Boras and attempt to resign Rodon or return Kopech to the rotation and find a 5th starter as Keuchel is toast and will cost a guaranteed $18.5M if he reaches 160 innings. Without a complete overhaul of the roster construction the Sox will continue to be a swing and miss club with bad defense, but Astros this series put up tough at bat after tough at bat. Something I wish the Sox could emulate. Tucker is a monster. Sox need to get healthy next year and fill those holes and it should be a fun 2022 but man a disappointing finish to a fun 2021 season. Leury Garcia can’t be a starter in a playoff game for a World Series contender. Hahn has another interesting offseason ahead of him. This White Sox fan’s season is over and am now ready for IU bball season. Can’t wait to watch Rico and Naturalhoosier 2 Quote

When I'd visit my parents and he was playing for the White Sox, my dad would have them blaring on the tube. Hawk Harrelson would say "Scotty Pods" about 10 times during every Podsednik at-bat. It was all I could do to not hurl at every mention. Quote
Rico Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 I was really hoping for a Sox/Brewers WS. I guess I can settle for a Boston Braves/BoSox series. Quote

LamarCheeks Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Big Papi is the only one elected to the Hall. No dice for Bonds, Clemens, Sosa and Schilling. Throwing out the steroids debate, I think Schilling's a HOFer. I think he's kind of a douchebag, but to me, he should be in. Writers hate him and he hates writers, so it's a perfect mix to deny him entry, I suppose. He had over 70% of votes last year, but dropped to 58% this year. Obviously, his diatribe after last year's vote -- in which he demanded to be taken off the ballot for his final year -- didn't do him any good. I was hoping they'd vote him in just to spite him. LOL. He didn't cheat the game; his only crime is being an as-hole. Quote

Ortiz tested positive and IIRC was named in the Mitchell report, can't hold it against them and give him a pass. LIHoosier 1 Quote
LIHoosier Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 But Papi's a cool guy, even dressed like Mr T for the occasion ;) IU's own-ish Scott Rolen is up to 63% and should probably make the Hall in the next year or two. Quote
JSHoosier Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Just looking at numbers maybe he has a case, though not first ballot. My problem is this, there are drastically better players left out because of PED connections but Ortiz gets in despite PED connections because the writers always loved him since he kissed their butts as a player. Bonds and Clemens are two of the best players ever but can't get in. Pete Rose is the all time hits leader and is banned. Quote
