...or they're just chatting about strategic baseball decisions on a message board designed for that specific purpose

...just post a lineup with a super obvious Abreu omission as a way of begging to be asked about it

Rabbit was right, time to move on

Abreu about to have a Jordan Flu game and go 4-4 2 homers 6 RBIs

You can still get COVID a second time. You can still get COVID if you are vaccinated. Why do people not understand these.

It shouldn't be cancelled. It should be called Indigenous People's Day though.

Call Big Frank and find out if Nugenix can help.** **INSERT SHE'LL LIKE IT TOO JOKES HERE

Man, please, don't do this to yourself...

Did you lose a bet or something?

Geoff Blum throwing out the 1st pitch game 2. I mean I knownhes an Astros guy through and through but I feel like the Astros are trolling themselves with that one.

I can feel a TA first pitch dinger in my plums. MY PLUMS

Thank you, rabbit, for inside information. To have “flies on the wall” within the organization posting here like rabbit and Harold’s Leg Lift is greatly appreciated.

There are other sicknesses/illnesses besides COVID?!? ??

I don't think Rabbit is "trying to be right". Everything isn't always a dick measuring contest dude.

But here are some rumors...

every offeason Sept/Oct: Oh man look at this lineup with Semien! December: If we can pull this off with Escobar, that is a sick infield February: Jed Lowrie would look great in a white sox uniform

I will "bless" game thread when the time comes. All hands on deck. PLAYOFFS

It’s nice that those demons will be fit and all, but hopefully he exorcises them as well.

TLR is living rent free in some people's heads. Lynn back on short rest as a game 4 option is better then Giolito on short rest in game 4 and then Giolito has full rest in game 5. That is a better plan than who starts game 1 and game 2. Yet it is the the drunk clueless old manager pandering to the guy he managed 10 years ago that has had as good a season as Giolito. Giolito is a veteran as well. Pandering to a veteran would be pitching Dallas over Cease....which may happen then you can b**** about that and have a case. Some people act like Jim Parque is being handed the ball over Jack McDowell.

this is for big bastard just to be clear

+100 on @raBBit

not what I would have done, but not going to bother getting bent out of shape about it now.

I've stopped questioning TLR. maybe

I never said he had COVID. I said he wasn't with the team. I said it was a fluid situation. If you weren't so insufferable you would realize that the Sox beat has acknowledged Abreu's status for tomorrow's game is in question. I am the first person to say that was the case. I am sure it was just coincidence.

This tweet is clearly the result of rabbits post. He knows nothing. Just remember he was like most of us and didn't know the option rule when the Sox sent Collins down, which means his source didn't either. Dead giveaway to his phonyness.

We do need extra guys to hop over the dugout railing when they clinch the series

Correct, I had the first 6 game win streak in May (and most consecutive threads (9), because of also starting the second game of a doubleheader after a first game loss, which they won before losing the following day). @Tnetennba had the second and most recent 6 game win streak. His also has a better season winning percentage (8-3 .727 vs. my 9-5 .643), and should have first honors if we are selecting based on merit. That said, I take Game Threads very seriously. I kick the thread off with quality information, and have intense focus throughout the day in an effort to coax the best possible White Sox performance.

Yeah, hope Lynn shoves; just hope this isn't some dumb LaRussa veteran angle where we trust the veteran to go twice in the series over Lucas. If it ends up that the series goes 5 and Lynn pitches twice over Giolito, that's not great managing.

Diaper up and get in the game!

?? and I love the fat bastard.

It's leaves. I said he was sick and was not with the team. Which the media just reported now. Get help. Players who don't have COVID go into COVID protocol every week. Thank you

I usually like his White Sox posts, but saying he doesn't want to start rumors, and then reveling in the fact that he did exclamated by posting a line up without Abreu, was pretty ridiculous.

lol a dick measuring contest? you have a guy insinuating a guy has COVID and then saying he's not saying that and then saying he might be but maybe not. That type of posting is just obnoxious, nothing else to it.

Of course. But the team has also said it's non covid related and specified. I assume he got tested and it came back negative. I don't think Hahn would have said non covid related if he had covid.

Seems like many can’t read between the lines. In all candor, I don’t know for sure if Abreu is or isn’t playing tomorrow. That said, there is a distinct possibility he does bot play. I don’t know if he or the team even knows if he plays at this point. He didn’t travel with the team. Not sure what the COVID protocol is anymore or what hoops he would need to clear as a vaccinated player.

Adam Amin and AJ get game one, Astros fans are gonna be salty with that one

Right. Big fan of Rabbit, so no bad mouthing here whatsoever. But he clearly been told Abreu isn't currently with the team. He's insinuated that, and avoided the direct question. So yeah. Not great.

Pito will be parachuting in. Lol

Also September "I'm really pissed about Swarzak still"

You can connect them in 6 teammates, almost entirely in Chicago.

There's no lineup outside of the MLB All-star game where a guy with a .420 OBP should bat 7th.

I liked the heads idea but he pooped on it. @South Side Hit Men had the longest winning streak during the season (I think)

Kenneth?

MLB is in the stone ages. I know nobody will feel sorry for me in Hawaii, but we are blacked out for 5 teams.... not one of which is within 2,500 miles of us! Add to that, 3 of their RSN's aren't even available in Hawaii. Just idiotic. And before we heap praise on football, unless you subscribe to DirecTv satellite service (not new streaming service) you're back in the 70's watching your local game on CBS or Fox. Being a Bears fan in Hawaii means we MIGHT see 4 games a year. I know, maybe that's a blessing these days but I'd like the choice.

Vaughn seems like the guy we would regret moving in 5 years! Sure Sheets will be on some highlights as he just hits massive HRs...but Vaughn seems like an everyday stud player. Yeah he wore down this year but he did everything that was asked of him!

As bad as Eloy looks out there sometimes, speed is a component of being able to play outfield and Vaughn just can't cover ground. He's fine when something like this year happens and your 3 best OF all get injured, but he's never going to be a full time OF. Sheets is not redundant because there's really no other lefty power bat in the organization. There's nowhere in the near future that both Burger and Vaughn are in the lineup, so one of them can be traded.
