Get the season started before Texas and Florida completely melt down....

Only playing both central divisions this year. Which means no dreaded West Coast trips. Thank fuck for that.

Watching my first Sox game in who knows how long
Giolito struggling (fuck you, Max Kepler) but Moncada still got that stroke.

Crowd looks normal

Fire Renteria!

It's not his fault. He was distracted by racists from the get go.

Having a beer in an empty Wrigleyville bar watching a Cubs game being played in an empty Wrigley might be my most 2020 thing yet
-
Sox offense is murdering the ball.2 bombs for Leury.
If the first two games are any indication, Sox offense should have little trouble putting runs on the board.
-
Four in a row!

Field of dreams game cancelled. That sucks.

Be nice if he managed like it was a 60.game season and not a 162 game season..
-
Keuchel's rant might have been the spark this team needed. Well that, and Tim Anderson's return.
-
If the Tatis trade isn’t already the worst trade in MLB history, it has to be up there.
-
Tim Anderson is really, really good at baseball.
Let's fuck shit up on the Northside!
-
How nice of Jon Lester to serve up batting practice for the Sox tonight.
-
More BP served up at Wrigley tonight.
I think this Jose Abreu fella might be just a tad good at baseball

Where are you, Miles? Gio no-hitter!!!!

Where are you, Miles? Gio no-hitter!!!!
I'm here! Where the hell were you? Are we in fact the only two Sox fans on this board? I kinda miss Gelato, even if he was mostly a jackass. Dude was really passionate about the Sox during all their sucking. I'll at least give him that.
Yes the Pirates suck but still impressive. Way to go, Giolito! Props to Mccann too for calling a great game! He and Gio just click together.
On another note, leave it to Eloy to injure himself during a celebration. He seems OK though. Thank god for that.
Oh and one more thing: LaDunncion still looks like a wasted signing. He knows how to kill a rally at the plate and on the bases.
-
I’m a white sox fan. My grandpa served in Korea with a fella that ended up playing for the Sox which is how it got to be a family thing. When I was little I remember going to Comiskey with my dad and grandpa.
Watched a lot in 2005, enjoyed the series, kinda just lost interest after 08 after the single game playoff loss to the Twins.
Given the sad state of sport I may have to start tuning in to the new crew.

Nice but just a correction: They won that game in 08 against the Twins. They lost in the ALDS 3-1 to Tampa that year.

Not that I'm a Sox fan, but Gelato sure came to mind. Ya think he would have had a few posts during the game ? 😂😂

Wow what an odd misremembering. Must have been the weak ALDS showing I remember.

The top of the 9th was a shitshow of epic proportions but they found a way to win!
First place Chicago White Sox!

WHite Sox. Don't care!

Tonight, for the fourth time since I started keeping count, I achieved my NES Nintendo VS. Baseball ultimate goal. I scored in every inning while throwing a shutout.
57-0

Nope. The only Nintendo baseball I've ever played is VS., no matter how it's branded. The first time was on a vacation in the summer of 1984. I visited my eldest sister and her husband in San Clemente. On the approach to whichever LA area airport, I flew over an Olympic swimming event.
We hung out at the beach, boogie boarded and ate Hawaiian Shaved Ice.
One night we went to San Juan Capistrano to see Purple Rain. Another night, we went to San Juan Capistrano to an arcade. That's where I first played VS. Baseball.
I spent the next year in the basement at the Illini Union, shelling out all my hard earned quarters into that game.
Now I play online, for free
tl;dr
-
Nice base running.
🤣🤣

Since when did this thread go from being a White Sox thread to a general baseball thread?

I figured it was an historic 3-2-8 double play because the White Sox, and others, know better. Or should know better. 😁
And I didn't see the need to start a new thread about basic base running that Little Leaguers are taught.
I'll try to watch my p's and q's tho.

Next time you partake maybe you can create your own cryptic set of board rules that you can use to ban people indiscriminately.
-
Oh that’s one of the very first things I did
-
Big win! That is a game they'd usually get blown out by the Twinkies in the past.
-
What a comeback by the good guys!
Huge assist to Max Kepler for momentarily forgetting how to catch a routine fly ball.
Luis Robert in the last two games: Walkoff HR, game tying HR in the 7th, go ahead RBI double in the 9th. Fucking awesome!
-
Great defense by the Twins coupled by Ricky being Ricky are the reasons the Sox lost tonight.
It would also be nice if they had a DH who wasn't hitting .170 with an OPS under .700.
-
It’s time to come to grips with the fact that the shine has worn off Ozzie’s 2005 WS and hire a new manager
-
Allow me to reiterate.
Fire Rick Renteria

Lucky they didn't get swept

Nice to right the ship against KC.
Fixin' to be an exciting final 20 games to the finish.
-
Sox sweep a four game series in KC for the first time since 1997.
Still in first place! I believe the Sox magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 14. Unless they have quite the epic collapse in them down the stretch, they will be a playoff team in 2020.
Only thing that sucked today was Keuchel's injury. Hoping it's just tightness and nothing more serious.
-
I see the Bears and Lions played a day earlier.

Sox playoff magic number is 4!

Seconded. Who the hell gets themselves ejected after hitting a homer? Hope it was worth it, Donaldson you idiot.
Sox are going to the playoffs for the first time since 2008. No, really where the hell is Gelato at?

Probably smokin' a doob in SF based on his postings here.

Had a few beers and bought a White Sox flag last night online. Could not remember if I still had one or not and was too lazy to go look. Hey, that kid threw 101mph!
-
No help from those good-for-nothing Northside bums. Division lead down to two games. Magic number to clinch the Central still at 4.
Though it would have been nice if the Sox pitchers knew where the strike zone was today. Cease has been living dangerously all year. It finally caught up to him. Ross the boss wasn't any better.

First I’ve watched all season

-
You got to see Ricky being Ricky even after getting tossed from the game
-
Well that fucking sucked
-
Ricky, McEwing, whoever the hell that was botching the 10th inning needs to go. Fuck it, just send 'em all packing. They will likely get swept by the Indians with Bieber and Plesac going the next two games. They had to win this one.
Just pathetic.

What's on the table?
-
Say goodbye to the division, Sox. Nice gag job down the stretch.
But hey, at least they're in the playoffs!
-
Ricky gonna Ricky.
They should just go all in and lose every game, playoffs included, if it means the end of Renteria and this clownshoes coaching staff. They aren't winning shit with him at the helm.
-
It was 4-1 Sox when I tuned in. Shortly after it was 5-4 Indians. I’d blame myself but they started shitting their pants before I ever started thinking about watching them so it’s not me. Who should be the manager?
-
Not Rick Renteria
-
Hopefully Contreras bat landed on Renteria's head somewhere. It might just knock some sense into him.
-
They did it. They won a game!
-
Sox are the #7 seed and will play Oakland in round 1
-
Sox take game 1! Lucas Giolito was simply lights out.

This has to be the end of Rick Renteria. The Sox aren't going anywhere with this clown in charge.
-
I approve the end of this thread. Now we just need the Cubs to beat STL on the way to an A's Cubs series and 2020 won't be so bad.
-
This board is Murph's world; we are just living in it.
-
Ricky’s gone!
-
Angel Hernandez says that’s racist
-
What an amazing ending to an amazing game. That was something.
-
It’s happening. Tony La Russa is managing the Sox again. 76 year old fucking fossil La Russa.
LMAO

Who lasts longer in their job? Biden (if he wins) or LaRussa?

One argument with Angel Hernandez will cause LaRussa to drop dead on the spot. Therefore, I have to go with Biden.
-
When do pitchers and catchers report ?
-
Wow. I just heard the Cubs have soured on Gramps and, not to be outdone, are considering bringing Leo Durocher back.
-
Joe probably won’t make it til opening day. Then again Tony is in the same boat. Man tough decision.

This is the White Sox manager: A drunk 76 year old racist asshole.
But it's ok because Jerry has to correct a wrong that happened over 30 years ago!
What a fucking clownshoes franchise.
-
I liked the old Comiskey.
The Cell, now that they removed the 65° angled upper deck and changed all the bleak colors, is not terrible.
And Hawk Harrelson is gone, right?
So maybe, someday ...
-
I think I’ve been to old Comiskey more times in my life than the new.
-
I wake up and Len Kasper is the new Sox radio guy? WTF????

Get used to it. The Harris administration is going to be really hard on Dicks. Especially the white ones. Sad.

What about guys named Lance?
-
Sox get Lance Lynn for Dane Dunning and another pitching prospect.
Sad to see Dunning go but the Sox are clearly going for it.
Lynn also played for TLR in 2011, so there's that connection.
Look for them to sign Yadi Molina and Adam Wainwright next. They might trade for Pujols too.
-
Adam Eaton is back on the Southside.
