In my mind the perfect night tonight is Sox, Rangers win. Guardians. Astros lose. First place. Magic number of 2 for the pos-season and 3 for the 2 seed. I’d prefer Texas in the post-season over Houston thus the Rangers win tonight.

I just play out arb 1 and 2, offer the extension before arb 3 if he's still killing it

He’s currently slated to pitched Saturday vs Cleveland.

Moncada is 31 but his body is 41, poor guy couldn't stay healthy.

And they target anyone and everyone who has something bad to say about them. Cancel Culture at its almost finest.

Actually their early years overlap really well, culminating in a huge 2019. Granted Yoan fell apart after, but I blame the obvious injuries more than any perceived work ethic vagueness. The dude couldn't move without pulling something, and it caught up with him.

They will put their thumb on the scale wherever they decide to pitch Wacha - just a matter of which side they want their thumb to go

I don't feel like these guys understand what pressure is, they basically had to take 3 of 4 from Detroit and controlled all 4 games into the 6th inning or later, and an over managed bullpen cost them game 2, I'm optimistic they handle KC (Series wins: @KC 2-2, @CHI 3-0, @CHI 2-1) Kay, Fedde, and Martin have all lost a game to KC this year, 2 of those games were SHO 2-0 losses to Bubic, and Wacha. Bubic was traded to LAD, however Wacha last pitched on the 20th, so KC could bump him up to the 25th if they decided to wanna put their thumb on the scale and honestly that wouldn't shock me edit: the 3rd loss was a game that Avila started, and he gave up 4 ER/6 H/3 BB in 4 IP, but Kay gave up 5 R (3 ER) in 3.2IP, so the Kay start will be the game to watch IMO

Moncada came across as lazy, but that could just be appearances. I would, however, look at how much Vargas has improved vs. Moncada's stagnant and eventual declining performance as evidence. To me, it seems Vargas really wants it - success, skill, the rewards. Moncada seemed to want the rewards only.

It was always a poorly designed stadium that missed out on the hindsight of the incredible ballparks that came after it. While it is perfectly fine, it definitely is loaded with opportunity cost of what could have been done with a few more bucks out of pocket.

Maybe they can name the parking lot exits after him?

Fingers crossed...good luck.

Good on Caleb for calling him out. Portnoy is soft as s%*#. His book is "Cancel Me If You Can", but he'll be the first person to "cancel" somebody if they say something he doesn't like.

In other ballpark news: Goodbye Comerica Park, hello Fifth Third Park.

Based on?

Especially when they're 30th in the league in revenue. That'll certainly bump up after this season, but it's not like they'll shoot up to the top half of the league in revenue generated.

When Jerry and Eddie bought the Sox, within a year, they moved a vast majority of Sox games to Pay TV with a monthly subscription fee of between $15-$21. That's in 1982 dollars - that would be between $50-$70/month in today's dollars. When Jerry got New Comiskey built, he saw to it that the design focus on premium/corporate customers as he had three levels of luxury seats/suites inserted between the lower and upper deck with the 500 level upper deck comprising of about 45% of the stadium's seats. As you said, the reason why Sox tickets have been a relative bargain in the last few years is because the team has been so bad that they couldn't get enough people to want to come to the games. The upper deck seats, with the exception of perhaps the upper deck box (which aren't that bad), are affordable because they're lousy seats and a tough sell.

Sox win the division by 2 games and don't even need the tiebreaker.

First place 11 hours from now. Speak it into existence.

https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-series-to-watch-week-of-sept-21-2026 White Sox at Royals The White Sox will head to their division rivals on Tuesday in hopes of completing their remarkable turnaround, from 100 losses in three straight seasons to the postseason in 2026. Chicago, like Cleveland, could clinch as early as Wednesday if things break the right way. But the South Siders will be looking to retake the division crown -- and the up-for-grabs bye -- with a strong week. They’ll need their bats to heat back up after posting a .672 OPS in September thus far, 25th in MLB.

Can the White Sox hold on?The Chicago White Sox have been one of baseball's best stories in 2026, but as the season winds down, they're clearly running out of gas. The Sox looked to be in full control of the AL Central going into the trade deadline and had a 5 1/2-game lead on Aug. 16. But the White Sox's biggest weakness, their starting pitching, has crushed them over the past two months. After failing to address the issue in a meaningful way — other than adding right-hander Luis Castillo, who has been a disaster — their season now hangs in the balance. The Guardians enter Tuesday leading the AL Central by a game after taking two of three from the Sox in Cleveland last week. Chicago has fallen from the No. 2 seed to the No. 6 seed and could still be knocked out of the postseason picture completely this weekend. They hope to finish their season strong against the Royals and Rockies to close the season, while the Guardians will face the Red Sox and Royals.

Are we in Dances with Wolves now?

I would respectfully propose the Sox win today, Guardians lose, and we are in first place with five games to go.

Kay pitched well last time out and was pulled too early.
