Check out this update.

Man the amount of energy people are wasting on being hurt about what the announcers were saying is surprising even for Soxtalk.

Fine; I'll be at work so the rest of you play nice

2 starts 2 CG's 18 IP 1ER 17 K's 1BB 7 hits Let's go!

LFG boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! About 20 feet from TA

Yes. Because "It would have been nice to win 2 more games" is such an unreasonable request that it is tantamount to demanding perfect games every day.

Just watched Desastre Personal. Sox in 3

woulda rather have Romy over Mendick.

Greatest vid ever

The announcers were fine. It's the Sox who were awful.

I hate to break it to people, but the manager didnt lose this game. The players did.

But look how rested the players look! The franchise is so stupid when they try to get cute.

.125 career postseason batting average, .600 OPS with awful defense

Meanwhile Lance Lynn actually has 41 pitches through 2 IP

Unrelated to Astros, I love that the Bulls PBP guy and the second/third best catcher in Sox history are referred to as "Fox guys" in here.

Say you know nothing about the people announcing this game, with out actually saying you have no idea who is announcing this game.

Who cares man? Its part of doing business. You want to be a good team? You have to sign players in FA. Sometimes they don't work out. Every good team has a bad contract or two, and if Dallas is the only one the Sox have, they're doing ok. He'll be the #5 for a portion of next year and if he sucks, they'll release him and then they're done paying him.

?

The He's A Pirate intro will always be the GOAT to me.

Man, haven’t watched that old intro video in a while. Now I’m fired up!

Yes, but look at his home/road splits vs the Astros. It wasn't reasonable to think starting him at Houston would produce any different result than what we got. There's no reason it couldn't have gone Giolito/Rodon/Lynn/Cease and have Kopech and Lopez to back up Rodon.

Hopefully a Sunday lineup tomorrow so the guys can be well-rested for game 3

Yes...both things happen. Lynn pitches better when he can smell those onions. The same throw off McCullers because, as a vegan, he knows they are going to be used on hot dogs or polishes.

Just put Robert 3rd in the order and let him be an All-Star

Moncada the only guy who showed up today, yet he gets far, far more vitriol on this board than Jose or TA.

Giolito was the reason I was pretty confident they would split in Houston. That is still in play.

LOL, Houston has one really good starter and he's pitching today. Get off the ledge everyone, my goodness.

Sox were down 4-0 in game 3 of the WS in Houston and Oswalt looked unhittable through 4. Then the Sox put up a 5 spot on him. Have some faith.

Probably wasn't a good idea to ignore the Astros destroy Lynn.

And now Fox trolls us with Thunderstruck

And if it was properly managed we would've easily had home field in this series

LOL BALL GAME fuck these losers.

It’s Grandal in the postseason...what did you expect

Does it matter if they can’t score?

Ok dude. We get it. You've said it 10 times.

Aaand that’s game

Amin is chicago born and raised and AJ won a championship here

This pre-emptively getting mad at TLR for decisions he won't make is fun. Playoffs are fun. TLR was horrible in the first half, and other managers are better, but I'm thankful he was able to guide this team into the playoffs with a remarkably healthy team that is well rested and playing good ball. He was able to manage Lynn's knee and Rodon's shoulder so we have both. Kopech is here in the playoffs. Crochet is here. And now they are going to be going 110%. No more management. No more holding back.

Billy Hamilton should not be starting a playoff game. Sheesh

What's crazy is when you think of headlining trades back to do this rebuild its the Sale, Quintana and Eaton trades. All of the headline players played apart in this team: Sale: Moncada, Kopech Quintana: Eloy and Cease Eaton: Giolito, Lopez with Dunning being traded for Lynn. Holy Shit did the White Sox do good on those trades.

DON'T STOP GET IT GET IT

I’m getting a sexual harassment complaint today at work, cause I’m ROCK HARD.

Can't wait for a good old Gene Honda "Sox fansssssss ON YOUR FEET"

Been listening to this all week.

I'll say this, I've been hard on Tony and I don't think he's the right guy but the sox can win it all with him. One thing I will say is it'll be nice to watch a playoff game where it doesn't look like our manager is going to pass out from the pressure. I'll never forget rick at the edge of the dugout with his hands on his knees looking like he's hyperventilating in the 3rd inning of a game they're leading 1-0. Tony may be taking a nap, but that's better than a look of panic.

Let's go ahead and celebrate the Sky here with the OP

Now I KNOW somebody lost a bet.
