I am a briefs wearing man... well this particular day I was wearing boxers. As we all know, those allow for far more movement within the underwear.. While loading the dishwasher I shut the door, quickly and strongly, to ensure a clean lock of the dishwasher door to prevent any potential bubble leakage from my extra bubbly Cascade pods. Being a briefs wearing man, I miscalculated the amount of hang there would be within my boxers. The dishwasher shut mightily, and I screamed even more mightily as my loins had been caught in the shutting dishwasher door. A day which will live in infamy.

All the hand wringing about Moncada and he's the only player not named Mercedes in the top 20 position players in fWAR. Dude's been a stud lately.

Maybe worry about yourself

That’s one way to do your laundry

I’m way more pissed at the manager than the loss. He’s just making so many bad decisions.

With how much he adjusts his cup, Tim better hope he never wears boxers in front of a dish washer.

Grow up. First, I'm not playing the game, my "attitude" doesn't matter, and neither does yours. Second, it's a 162-game season. We'll lose dozens of games even under the best of circumstances. I hope we win, but this is a bad pitching matchup and one of those games where a loss would not be a huge deal -- which is certainly a healthier and more realistic "attitude" than whining and crying after every loss like most in the game threads. Third, it's "worst."

This is amazing. Larussa mismanages the guy, doesn't give him consistent Ab's, plays nick Williams over him and despite that some people want to give him credit for Vaughns success and not the fact that Vaughn has hit and would hit if he was just given a chance too. This place is too damn funny sometimes. Imaging giving a young player with a polished bat who was born in rake towns success to a geezer who refused to play him over a guy who isn't even on the team anymore.

It wasn't me it was the one armed man

This is the problem I have being older and walking slowly. Vaughn starts slowly. LaRussa takes him out of the lineup on occasion. I agree because of various reasons I lay out in a reflective non hating on Vaughn type of way. Getting some favorable matchups could help him gain confidence,he doesn't have to be out there every day ,he's had so little minor league experience, it's a huge jump he's making etc. But all that gets ignored and all of a sudden I'm the Nick Williams lover and Vaughn hater who says Vaughn can't hit righties. Every time Vaughn isn't playing it's non stop venom being spit in the game threads. "Vaughn is playing great now why isn't he playing "? in like 10 posts in a row. Finally, I said has anyone stopped to think that he might be playing better now because LaRussa plays him in games he views as favorable matchups (almost all lefties and some finesse type righties) for Vaughn so he could gain confidence instead of running him out there against righties with nasty sliders and overwhelming heat ? No critical thinking at all just misdirected anger at LaRussa and anyone who thinks he's making the right call with an inexperienced young hitter and left fielder. Every time Vaughn now gets a hit it's like " I was told he couldn't hit righties" or "maybe Nick Williams should ve played today ." I think LaRussa put Vaughn in a position to succeed and it's working.

He's a pitching coach, not a miracle worker.

So he’s just gonna keep losing us games ?

Leury is not good. What he did yesterday means nothing. Certainly not more than his entire career and this year and beyond. You took out a plus hitter who has been hitting everything he makes contact with hard, for Leury Garcia. It's just a damn joke at this point.

The thought process is so freaking dumb

Just missed the DP. Tony is a disgraceful manager

Just gonna leave this here

Cooper would have had him ditch the curve

Good news is that Jack has just put Lucas back in the rotation and took dallas out, so gio no longer needs to go to the bullpen.

I'm squirmin' just reading this

Hence your name, squirmin...

Lol you wrote a 3 paragraph analysis of how you were right and everyone who disagreed with you and mastermind LaRussa was wrong, I responded with one sentence about your unwillingness to admit you were wrong about Vaughn not being ready (which was your initial argument regarding this entire ordeal), and somehow my post was the arrogant one. 🤣 Again, this place is hilarious sometimes.

All of them.

Yet here you are crying about the "bunch of babies" bringing your own shitty attitude.

We have the second best run differential in MLB, the 4th best record in the AL, and have won 8 of our last 10. We still haven’t been playing as good as we can play. Time to take a chill pill?

Bennetti is great. Stop.

There are four good teams in this division. The other three orgs are better run and managed. This team has great SP's with a spotty bullpen, hitting and defense. Good luck.

Trubisky? Just quit posting in this thread. This is the exact opposite of Trubisky. Trubisky was a bench guy who only started 1 year for UNC and wasnt even that good. Joe Burrow couldnt beat out Fields and transferred to LSU because he was going to be the back up. That guy was picked #1 overall last year. Fields beat Lawrence straight up this year. And Lawrence forced everyone to pick him 1 but there is an argument Fields easily was the 2nd best QB prospect, you are talking about a player who delivered at an elite level and is deserving of being selected this high. If anything Wilson and Lance are the shiny new Trubiskys and Fields is Watson.

It's not larussa fault they lost at all. The problem is he is consistently proving he has no idea what he's doing when he subs guys like garcia in for Vaughn

I know even my dead grandma who passed in 1999 doesn't need a scouting report to know you don't pinch hit Garcia down 2 runs in the 9th with a man on, no matter which side of the plate he hits from.

Nah, it does wonders for his confidence to pinch hit a guy with a lower batting average and OPS than him.

LaRussa had a chance to reward Vaughn for his progress of late, and took a pass on it. Not sure I see the wisdom in that.

I get Vaughn hasn’t had the best night, but give the dude a chance. Jesus

Leury pinch hitting LOL!

This is why we're 4-0 in double headers.

He should just go back to being more sinker/cutter.

Love Yermin hauling ass all the way home

Hahaha. I know. I don't know how to feel about this. I LOVE Tevan Jenkins the player. We need that kind of physicality and attitude on the OL.

Sounds like a really bad starting CB combo for the Minnesota Golden Gophers...

Might be their best lineup of the year. *Edit* Except my enemy hitting above Luis.

Did it get it's literal nut sack stuck? WTF?

Again, a total eye test, but let's be honest. If I told you to find 19 consecutive fly ball putouts by Eloy that have looked as smooth and competent as Vaughn's 19 outs, I would bet you would have to look long and hard. Not his best 19, but 19 in-a-row. In fact, I would guess that you wouldn't be able to do it. I understand that "smooth and competent" is hard to define exactly, but still, total eye test (now with backing stats); if you're being honest, Vaughn already seems to be better in LF than Eloy.

Every year someone new and shiny, to be reminded of in pertinent topic threads like "White Sox Game Thread", "White Sox winner thread", and if we are lucky "Covid 19 thread". Has Buxton been anointed the best center fielder in the history of the game yet, because you know shit gets real when that happens

Please let Vaughn face Bieber.

all others... through out history and forever. its actually being mature and trying to accept reality.

This is a shitty attitude I swear Sox fans are the worse. What other fan base does that

How come we gotta face Bieber every time we play Cleveland? Why can't we face Logan Allen for once?

If Gen z supposedly have no critical thinking skills, then you boomers are incapable of just admitting you were wrong lol. The handling of Vaughn has been atrocious. It's OK to just admit that and move on.

Bunch of Parkmans calling the score right now 😂

I genuinely was going to joke that Jack already buried the guy but reality beat me to the punch
