Fortunately the Yanks lost also but the RedSox have now invited themselves to the party 9 hours ago, Mike in Horseheads said: Semi optimistic, at least they didn't give up a top prospect Elfin is decent and makes sense. Not a world beater and can’t get Soto out. The Dominguez/Hays trade was a coup for both teams. Each profiles better in the park/situation they are entering. An old fashion trade. Maybe they face each other at a pivotal moment in game 7. Would be fun. 10 hours ago, Mike in Horseheads said: kimbrell blows another game in the 9th that scumbag.

Gregg Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 How about some love for those White Sox. 27-82. A winning percentage of .248 and 38.5 games back of 1st place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Is it me or is the trade deadline becoming less and less relevant as the years go by? A few factors imo: expanded playoff field results in less teams that give up on their season. Long term constracts lessen the pool of high-end players in their walk year.

Gregg Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 The White Sox are currently on a 21-game losing streak. They have a 27-88 record. The ML record for most consecutive losses is held by the 1889 Louisville Colonels who lost 26 in a row and finished their season 27-111. The NL record for most losses is held by the 1961 Phillies with 23 straight losses. The last team to lose 21 in a row was the 1988 Orioles.

Be even better were it the last regular season series. On a side note, Chapman threw 104.7 and 105.1 tonight. I didn’t see it. 😝 Also, tonight I had a Tiger flashback watching the portly lefty Skubal……Mickey Lolich, him I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops! Actually that ball is in the ***** Baseball HOF. Read Cobbs bio, then think about that ball he signed with them after he saw the wrongs of his ways. Thought I read or heard Reggie Jackson wasn’t for forgiving Cobb. I think he was right. Edited August 8 by US Egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
