The Chicago Shite Sox

[SKO]

The Sox had let it be known that they will not talk with the Cubs about Chris Sale.

Because it's always a good idea when holding an auction to lock the bidder with the deepest pockets out.

Yeah, but what if the White Sox end up helping the Cubs break the curse? Think of the fallout.

Kinda want Theo and Jed to leak that they offered Scwharber, Eloy, Baez, and Happ and were rebuffed just to really make the Sox look stupid.

That would make them look foolish, too.

Nah, they can do no wrong right now. Cubs Twitter would explain in detail why this was good, actually.

[Saul Goodman]

The sell-off is definitely here. Sale for Moncada, Eaton for Giolito, very likely more to come. Not sure I'm ready for a competent, rational White Sox front office.

[Saul Goodman]

Also, if you're the Nationals, why would you trade for Eaton when you can just sign Dexter Fowler and keep your prospect powder dry? Weird.

They're already close to maxed out on payroll as it is, Eaton is cheap, and they've been offering deferred money like crazy to FAs and some guys may prefer to get paid up front.

I feel the need to commemorate their hilarious loss last night. Tim Anderson homers in extras and Hawk is ready to leave the booth to "check on him" (blow him). They go to the bottom of the inning to lock it down but instead David Robertson (who is seemingly incapable of throwing anything but knuckle-curves over and over) and their defense have a total meltdown in the bottom of the inning and the Angels walk off. Cameron Maybin "doubles" on a feeble attempt to catch a shallow outfield popup by Anderson that I'm convinced Addison catches every time. Then Pujols "singles" to center on a ball that seemed to bounce off Leury Garcia's face. It was funny as shit, you guys.

Garcia taking the game-winning hit off of his face was funny, otherwise I can't really spend too much time mocking a team trying to lose. Since they apparently aren't interested in moving Quintana to the Cubs I do hope he goes back to pitching like shit and cratering his trade value.

Telling Sox fans their team is "Cubs South" is one of my favorite things.

Being a Sox fan has to suck so much right now. At least Cardinals fans can fall back on the ELEVEN RINGS BITCH thing, dumb as it is, the Sox have absolutely nothing. One fluke of a title now over a decade ago.

Cardinals fans also have the fact that their team is in first place right now, so there's that.

That'll be over soon enough.

It's going to be hard to make fun of them from here on out. Rick Hahn is doing a solid Theo imitation.

Let's see how the draft goes for them, they've got some work to do if they're going to catch the Phillies for the first overall pick.

Actually I think the easy way to make fun of them is to point out that the reason their rebuild is going so awesome is because normally teams that are rebuilding don't have a billion young, cheap, controllable players like Sale/Quintana/Eaton/Abreu to trade, because most teams would have spent money and figured out how to actually win something with that group.

Yeah, but the change in the Sox's organizational thinking perfectly coincides with Hahn actually getting free reign. Kenny Williams is a fucking dunce. I don't even think you could find Sox fans who would argue that point.
