Yeah “hopefully” that happens. 🙄

Single digit gamethread page count? Something may be happening here…

To the contrary, watching the Sox shut the Yankees offense down by sweeping a DH in Yankee Stadium made me realize the Yanks simply can’t play with the White Sox….no wait, I meant to say neither one matters bc basing playoff predictions on any one day of the first half of the regular season is fucking idiotic, sorry got mixed up

On behalf of the 20% of the board that wants you to be right…LFG.

Just realizing that I'm so conditioned to expect and accept injury that I find myself almost grateful when the inevitable injury is not to a star. Like: "that's nothing, Robert could've broken his neck..." That said, feel horrible for Mendick and hope it looked worse than it is.

Fine with this, and I say that as a frequent critic of TLR's lineups. TA clearly needed a day, half our lineup is injured/unavailable. The only one who could be there to upgrade is Pollock but I imagine he needs a day too.

Suck it

Hahahahahaha suck it, Soxtalk

Definitely a marked improvement over last year's series in Houston, where we got absolutely blown out. Could easily have won this series. We've played a lot better against good teams than we did last year despite the worse overall record. It was the failure to hang in with good teams that folks around here elevated in importance over all other factors last year. I guess by that measure we've improved.

Feeling pretty good about my trajectory! Paragraph 2 arriving in T-minus 20 days.

Damn—10 page game thread. Don’t need to check the score—congrats everybody!

Wait what

No Eloy tonight, again. Tim leading off and playing SS.

Yes, I was fully expecting The Cooler to rest all regulars and get us a nice momentum-killing loss today. Holding my breath for him to bench Moncada for failing to stand during one of the "Salute our Heroes" segments or something, but who knows -- maybe we'll be allowed a real, unfuckedwith winning streak this time!

Yes, this is definitely a job for...The Cooler
