The Rangers are for real. I wish the White Sox could learn how to do a rebuild and not take 15 years to do it.
They're going to need the owner to die. It's like the Blackhawks all over except you can watch home games on TV.

No one cares about the Angels. It really is amazing that they are blessed with having two all time great players on the roster at the same time, and got absolutely nothing to show for it.

You are correct, re all my posts of them being a talent black hole.

I wanted Ohtani moved, now they fool their fans about "a playoff run".

At least the Angels have gone for it. Third largest TV market and the largest contract they ever handed out was for Andrew Benintendi. Where the owner has come out an publicly said, finishing 2nd is ideal.

White Sox
FA contract: Andrew Benintendi, OF (5/$75M, 2022)
Extension: Yoán Moncada, 3B (5/$70M, 2020)

The White Sox reached an agreement with Benintendi to fill a corner outfield need as well as the need for a solid left-handed bat in a predominantly right-handed lineup. Moncada had a breakout season in 2019, his third year with the White Sox after arriving from Boston in the Chris Sale trade, and got his extension the following spring.

The best thing that ever happened to Moncada was getting traded for Chris Sale.

The White Sox have treated him like a star, because he is the only thing they have to show for giving up Sale (who won a WS for the Red Sox in 2018 by the way). Moncada ranks up there with the most over rated MLB players ever. The bum has a career .251 avg, only had more than 20 HR's once in his career (4 years ago lol), he plays about 50 games a year, and he is slow as fuck.

That is all it takes to earn you a 5 year, $70m contract? You can find better stats on half of the players on any AAA team. Fucking White Sox are mentally handicapped, I swear.

Yeah. Remember when Moncada had elite speed? All the major players in that trade have just mostly been injured since that trade outside of the first couple of productive years for Sale.

Half game lead for Rangers going into today's games. You're really going to make me root for the Yankees aren't you?? God I hate ASStricks fans.

Is this how you NFL fans feel about us Cowboys fans??

No Cowboys haven't been good enough to hate.
