Looking like another 100 loss season and only in the 5th inning of Game 1!

Tempo's favorite Bear Reporter, Courtney Cronin, doing PI lawyer ads on the Sox radio broadcast.....

Sox opener moved to Friday. Going to be a long Friday and Saturday ...

It's a long everything as a Sox fan.

Except post-season

They’ve already been eliminated from playoff contention

Swept the AL champs.
There's no stopping them now!

Chris Getz and Will Venable can leave at any time now.

Depends on if you are betting the over on each game

I’d rather watch LIV golf than the White Sox. Or any MLB for that matter.
-
Ok, that second comment might be an exaggeration.
-
The Sox are over .500 in May and only one game out of first in the (trash) Central
Hooray! They aren't a trainwreck...for now.

I’ll watch them if they’re in contention after the all star break.

Wasn't cheering for anyone. I lead a post-baseball life and am quite happy with that decision.
-
I think I've watched five innings of baseball in the last three and a half years and I couldn't be happier with that decision
-
I guess that might be a slight exaggeration I remember watching couple innings of the world series, we'll call it 10 innings of baseball
-
Good thing you have The Twotter to entertain and misinform you!
-
The only thing that upsets me about baseball is that 10 years ago I left a lot of Frank Thomas, Ken Griffey Jr, Cal Ripken, Roger Clemens, and Chipper Jones rookie cards above hallway closet on Oakdale Avenue. Two boxes of 80s and 90s cards. Also had a Dan Marino and a Shaq rookie card.
-
Suppose it's possible they are still in that cubby hole above the closet.

The wife rented on Oakdale near The Clark Street Dog.
I was close to the Dog as well. The bar there was literally my favorite place to hang out. The stool next to the window on Clark Street is literally my favorite barstool in the city. I have multiple pictures of my son on that seat at different ages. A lot of great times hanging out at the Dog. Some very smart/funny people were regulars there. $5 pickelbacks! Demi, a bartender I was close with at the time just won the Democratic primary for state rep; which makes her a lock to be elected in November.
-
An intimate place. 6-8 people and you had a nice crowd. They always had great bartenders. Some of my best memories of the city.
-
Was at the game yesterday in San Francisco what an absolute fucking shit show how this motherfucking third baseman is even still on the goddamn team drives me nuts. Missing a simple pop fly to end the inning to giving up a fucking grand slam two pitches later made me wanna rip my hair out

Wrong side of town but find me and I’ll buy you a beer!

Custard hanging out at a bar Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy were known to hang out in. That checks out.

Having a beer at First Draft on South Clark, where is everyone at? Waiting on a Pat’s Pizza

I love that place. I used to go there to watch NFL and keep track of my fantasy scores. 64 beers on draft, outlets under the bar, and try the pork wings!

Custard at the Trumper Cub game! Shocking!
Was at the Pale Hose victory today. Who is going to Illini Night at the Pale Hose game Wed night? I will be there, as usual.

The time away from the board didn’t seem to lift the quality of your posts.

As of now, I will be wearing my 2008 Rose Bowl t-shirt at the Pale Hose game tonight. Approach me and I will buy a beer.

I have one of those, too. If I didn’t throw it in a trash bag to be dropped off in a drop box.

Quite a few Illini fans tailgating at The Rate already!

World Series 2026!

Bet a buddy $100 the Sox don’t make the playoffs. Hope I’m wrong.

Sox getting exposed for the frauds they are

Are we surprised?

Surprised it didn’t happen sooner.

I think they will win the division. It would not surprise me if they were under 500 at the end of next week
-
They may have saved their season last night. We shall see.
-
No they still suck
-
Will Venable and Chris Getz are baseball terrorists
-
ThePAOTCMan just bought tickets to ALDS Home Game 1 and ALCS Home Game 1.
-
Good luck with that

I think they will blow it, but it would not surprise me if they didn't.

Not too late for a refund, is it?

RIP Don Cooper. This man had pitchers throwing 4 straight complete games in the 2005 ALCS. Meanwhile, the 2026 starting staff can barely get through 4 innings if they are lucky.

RIP can’t believe he was only 70

You need to add "and Dave Portnoy and 95% of football fans" (based on all the memes out there) to the "Caleb Williams is a pussy! - ThePAman and Judge Judy" in your sig....

95% of the online fans (aka “the meatballs”), or the very vocal minority.
-
PAMan always laughs at the online community when it comes to political takes. Apparently they are much sharper with their football takes.

LOL. He should have tried to score! Or at least not act like he got shot.

Tempo, since you do not know/remember who "Sweaty Freddy" is (in our text thread with Judge Judy), you should, in the words of Kenny Williams (hopefully you know who he is!) "stay out of White Sox business!"

I know who Kenny is. He used to come in to The Foundry in Aurora and hit on my Argentinian girlfriend, even though he was married.

So Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi are bots?

Maybe he thought he got shot.

Aren't they controlled by Soviet and/or Commie Chinese bots at this point?

It’s not like a buy everything they say. I’ve disparaged both many times. But that doesn’t mean their reporting has no value.

Has great value to the Soviets.

Have to laugh....where are the local Illinois Congressidiots threatening Amtrak funding? Amtrak does not give a shit what the Chicago City Council or John Daley say.
But Amtrak does not appear to need zoning or other approval from City Council and has stated its intent to invoke federal exemptions to build a new $900 million maintenance facility between 33rd and 35th streets near Rate Field.
Go read Crain's if you want more.

Has great value to the Soviets.
And that’s where I call them out on their own timeline
-
And I love how the PA man still refers to Russia as the Soviets.

And they are not drinking Bud, despite Bud being the MLB clinching the post-season sponsor....

Not thrilled with Smith making the start. Hopefully he is "strike-throwing Smith" and not "no clue where the ball is going Smith".....

Steve?

SMDH.

Blowing that bases loaded nobody out opportunity sucked but 3-0 Sox and the Astros are already on their 3rd pitcher

i don't really follow baseball, in fact not at all, never opened this thread, assumed it was just you guys bitching about the worst team in baseball like last year

Brought a lot and the neighbors had Malort, orange Jager, buzzballs, etc. We had our fill of liquor to go with the beer.

I was forced to have two Malort shots. Ms Custard who recently dismantled Custard’s Biological Dad in fantasy football got away with one.

Thanks to 2 combined points from WRs who left the game early!

Good luck at the ballyard today, ThePAMan.
Go Sox !!!

I know it’s worked so far, and I’m really playing armchair manager here; but I don’t know why you’d pull a guy who hasn’t at least faced each batter once, or try to nurse an extra inning or two when he’s cruising along fine.

The beer cooler did its job yesterday. Can't say as much for Bryan Hudson or the Pale Hose hitters and other pitchers.

The ‘84 Cubs have champagne on the ready.

Apparently the hosts at the score are smarter baseball people than Will Venable. All I heard yesterday was “do not pitch to Jose Ramirez. You cannot pitch to Jose Ramirez. Stop pitching to Jose Ramirez.”
They pitched to Jose Ramirez. Can anyone tell me how that went?

Team was basically mid all season. Not surprising they choked this away.

Well that White Soxed about as much as anything that’s White Soxed.
A bad hire at manager, injuries, a redundant roster, helped do the Sox in 5ish years ago; but the thing that killed them most was too many strike out hitters. Hopefully this was just a bad week. Pretty good season considering the expectations, but man what a choke job. The Sox fooled me again.

I'm not sure the current manager is any better than LaRussa.....
