That 8th inning was stuff Little League is made of. Cardinals didn't win, Cubs gave it away. Paredes has fit in seamlessly with terrible defense and no offense since joining. Pete Clown Armstrong should have been benched after that horrible drop.

Hoerner goes 30 feet and PCA comes 150 feet and calls him off, then drops it. WTF??? Back to Iowa.

Didn’t even realize the Sox have now lost 20 straight games. Can break the modern day record of 23 straight if they get swept in Oakland and lose to the Cubs at home Friday night. All is well though if you ask Reinsdorf.

If it weren’t for Sox, there would be a ton of heat on the Cubs and especially Counsell.

Hoyer seems in over his head but the team on paper should be better.

The front office guy the Cubs could likely ill afford to lose was Breslow. Counsell is not the issue IMO.
The clock is ticking on Hoyer. Virtually none of the vaunted prospects has made much of an impact on this roster this season. Maybe that was expected by the front office, though probably not by the primary fan base. Most of the air cover in the bullpen lately is coming from pitchers that somebody else developed. And the Cubs still only have two high quality starters. They may well regret not moving Taillon when his value was high.

All is well though if you ask Reinsdorf. Rooting for them to break the record. As much grief as possible is what that stiff Reinsdorf deserves. I know he could less about things not related to holding on to all the money he has taken in over the years but one would/might think that if he is going to step aside at one point and let his kid take over, at the very least he wouldn't want to leave a Cell sized pile of horse shit for his son to have to clean up. In my lifetime, i never thought I would see someone worse than Dollar Bill Wirtz but this slob Reinsdorf makes Wirtz look like Santa Claus.

Reinsdorf will pass in his office, no sale.

Tim Anderson imploding was not something anyone in the White Sox front office could likely have anticipated. I don't know the details, but unplugging him from that group was a huge hit to the offense.

Tim Anderson unplugged himself. Pure and simple, nobody's fault but his own, and they were right to not bring him back. His time was over, and the Marlins found that out just the same. And they even cut bait. The guy fathered a kid outside of his marriage, and got caught. Only thing he was sorry for was getting caught. Of course it blows up his personal life at the time so now he shows up at the ballpark all messed up, so now his job isn't what's on his mind. His production slips, badly i might add, and he was never a Gold Glover in the field to begin with.
So all that mouthy bluster begins to fade, his teammates at the time who were already tiring of his act are basically done with him. He's getting more and more distanced from them as it is, and then the ultimate embarrassment of getting his ass kicked ON THE FIELD by Jose Ramirez. That in itself was likely the capper to a once promising career. Look, I hope he actually bounces back and finds his game again, he's still young enough, but I'm sure not expecting it to happen.

Tim Anderson won’t don a MLB uniform ever again. Maybe can catch him at a Schaumburg Boomers game.

I don't think Schaumburg would even bother. Gary won't have it.
