Funny how LaRoche's long-ass statement skipped past the part where he continued to have his son show up daily after Williams first asked to "scale it back."

Not since Michael Jordan's announcement in October 1993 has the retirement of a Chicago athlete brought the international media to unimaginable frenzy.It's completely understandable.This is an important story because of the wide-ranging implications of a man walking away at 36 from a game he loves so much, leaving behind $13 million.And let's face it, Adam LaRoche was a legend on the South Side.During his 477 days as a member of the White Sox, and in a haunting 127 games, LaRoche contributed a minus-0.8 wins above replacement.

but yeah do they have an almost Mets-like starting rotation and Frazier, Melky and Lawrie have been doing more than okay. Eaton is breaking out. and it's no fluke like perhaps the Nats are doing right now.

And I thought the Jays' comeback today was impressive...Even though the Royals knocked the Jays out last year, and there's bad blood there, I hope they keep it up. I love how they confound conventional wisdom.

I think in this case it was the White Sox bullpen that defied conventional description.

i don't really know this team should do ... they look pretty decent on paper but obv that's not panning out
Robin Ventura’s five-year tenure as manager of the White Sox appears to be coming to an amicable finish, and the club will replace him with bench coach Rick Renteria, the Sun-Times has learned.Indications are the Sox are preparing to name Renteria, 54, as their new manager Monday. On Saturday, the Sox announced an end-of-the-season news conference with general manager Rick Hahn for 11 a.m. Monday at U.S. Cellular Field, increasing growing speculation that a change would be made soon.

rick renteria has become the second manager (after johnny evers) to lead both the cubs and the white sox
